User talk:Vdanen
here’s an interesting wiki with some nice plugins we may want to look at later: http://creationwiki.org/Special:Version
Update
Hey, nice work on the home page! - N Reid 08:19, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. =) We need a "getting started guide" or a "dummies guide to our wiki" or something that tells people how to add new content, etc; see the thread on mac-min. It also needs to be linked to from the front page; I've added a link to the editor's guide for now. --Vdanen 16:41, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
What links here
This feature does not work to identify redlinks to non-existent pages. For instance, CMUG:Notes for editors has been moved; if you click on this red link and then "What links here", the list at Special:WhatLinksHere/CMUG:Notes for editors includes this page, but not others e.g. the redirect at Notes_for_editors.
Before I updated CATUG wiki:Notes for editors, it had two links for CMUG:Formatting guide, but Special:WhatLinksHere/CMUG:Formatting guide did not show it.
Search me why it does show this user talk page! - N Reid 01:39, 29 September 2010 (MDT)
- I can only imagine this is due to the redirect on Notes for editors being an internal thing, and not part of the wiki text? I'm not sure. Is it a big deal though? I can try and get in the db and do some cleaning, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. --Vdanen 08:28, 29 September 2010 (MDT)
- Thanks for suggesting the Special page listing redirects; it's a new one on me. I'll use that in my toolbox on this wiki; I agree that it will be sufficient to discover redirects to non-existent pages.
- As for the issue of other articles not showing up in WhatLinksHere for redlinks, I don't know if I just wasn't looking properly, because it seems to be working now!
- Special:WhatLinksHere/CMUG:Formatting_guide does now show a test link that I added on another page.
- It's odd that the switch Show/Hide Redirects does nothing, i.e. redirects still don't show, but as stated above I can live with that. - N Reid 10:33, 29 September 2010 (MDT)
Indenting level on talk pages
Hi Vincent, I clicked the + button to start this section, so the heading level is automated. It's defaulting in at == == rather than = =, which is inconsistent with the format that we agreed for article pages. Can you change this, please? - N Reid (talk) 17:50, 29 December 2010 (MST)
- What "+" button? I'm not seeing it? Different skin perhaps. I think it does this as a sub-heading since it thinks = is for the "main" page. I don't know if this is hardcoded or not though (I've never noticed this being configurable in my few years with mediawiki). :--Vdanen 19:26, 29 December 2010 (MST)
