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)
