Thanks for all your great work, especially on the Wikipedia pages.  I know you've been working on more than just that, and just wanted to pass on my appreciation! [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 13:34, 29 September 2006 (EDT)

== thanks again ==
Just wanted to thank you again for all your gardening around here.  [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 10:20, 18 October 2006 (EDT)
== template experiences ==
Hi smiddle, are you experianced with templates? Could you have a look on [[Template:Wiki/suggestion]], I could not get it to work. My idea was to have entries in the appropriate [[:Category:Unknown|Unknown Categories]] for parameters set to default or not set in the including page of an ''improved [[Template:Wiki|Wiki Template]]''. I began working on [[:Category:Wiki Size|wiki sizes]] and wanted to keep track with sizes missing. --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 16:33, 19 October 2006 (EDT)
:I'll try with that strange "if" template... &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 09:26, 20 October 2006 (EDT)
::Or maybe it can work without the template. &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 09:30, 20 October 2006 (EDT)
:::...what exactly is not working? &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 09:33, 20 October 2006 (EDT)
::::My idea was to elaborate an improved future-save Wiki-Template-mechanism that makes pages visible that use older versions with less parameters. (The today-challenge is to bring a template-formulation to work that, for instance, collects Wikis with ''no WikiNode given'' in a new category, maybe [[:Category:UnknownWikiNode]]). (I'm not sure if it could be done with this [[Special:Version|MediaWiki-Version]]) --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 13:25, 20 October 2006 (EDT)
:::::''"If" template to the rescue.'' I hope it doesn't mess up like it did before. &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 15:20, 20 October 2006 (EDT)
:::::: hey, looks good, [http://www.wikiindex.com/index.php?title=WikiIndex:Sandbox&action=edit&section=2 look at this], we have to add only the statistics url and think (a little) about layout changing... --[[User:Peu|Peu]]
== wat are you doing? ==
You know that the includeonly section is responsible for listing in unk-cats [http://www.wikiindex.com/index.php?title=Template:Wiki/suggestion&diff=prev&oldid=32938]?
the pipe "|" means here default parameters, not cat order. --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 04:09, 21 October 2006 (EDT)
:Oops. &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 04:10, 21 October 2006 (EDT)
== What about wiki_URL ==
It's crazy but ther seem to be [[:Category:YourWikiHttp|WikiPages without URL]]. and,
please, could you explain how If works. (so long I have to "family" now) --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 04:17, 21 October 2006 (EDT)
:Let's see... [[:Category:UnknownWikiURL]]. But it only works if wiki_URL is not entered. If 'YourWikiHttp' or 'No' is entered, they'll not be added to the category. Hope there's a conclusion. &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 04:22, 21 October 2006 (EDT)
== Oh, there is another mistake ==
You placed the unk-cats directly in the tamplate, thet causes the template page itself listed in unknowns. I did it now by including the "includeonly" tagging into the if-space and it works. If we could bring the standard wiki property lines into a generic fashion (maybe with your "If") then we can remove the "includeonly" section on top of the tamplate. --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 04:35, 21 October 2006 (EDT)
== a last one ==
What do you think about it ([[http://www.wikiindex.com/Template_talk:Wiki/suggestion|make_parallel]])? --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 04:54, 21 October 2006 (EDT)
== MyTimezone ==
Hi smiddle,
I have added a [[Template:TimezoneMiddleEurope]] to use for our timezone (i it's the same). If we use it, we cann do the formatting in one style and switch DST with one edit. --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 07:04, 22 October 2006 (EDT)
:would you, please, have a look on [[:Category talk:Timezone]] too --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 14:42, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

== idea about time zone names? ==
I named the first middle european (time zone plus dst-convention) but what are the names of others. I consulted Wikipedia and so on, but I cannot find names of (time zones + conventions), I find only ''active time names''...I'm not sure...(for instance MEZ (CET) is used to name both ''time zone'' and ''time in winter'') can you help me? --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 15:50, 23 October 2006 (EDT)
:Maybe they can be named after some big city (e.g Moscow Time) ... or where the time zone is (e.g. Middle Australian Time). I can't help you any further than that, I think. <span title="Swedish n-dash FTW!">&ndash;</span> [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 15:53, 23 October 2006 (EDT)
== re: size categories ==
size cats were in former times 10, 100, 1000 and so on, I added the 2*10^e amd 5*10^e type size cats, for justice, but I think it would be not so helpful to add all n*10^e categories. see also [[Wikipedia:Benford's law]] --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 16:05, 23 October 2006 (EDT)
:I know. That's the reason I removed MoreThan300. <span title="Swedish n-dash FTW!">&ndash;</span> [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Emailuser/Smiddle|@]]</small> 16:09, 23 October 2006 (EDT)
== wiki people language ==
Hope you are not sour about the recategorization of wiki people languages. ---[[User:Peu|Peu]] 18:24, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

== [[Template:About]] ==
What is the purpose of this template? I think the caption "Author" is misleading, the parameter name founder seems better, but...what was your intention? --[[Wolf Peuker|Peu]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 09:52, 27 October 2006 (EDT)
:Actually... I don't know.

::I would say the '''wiki founder(s)''' could be interesting (as is the '''wiki age'''), but the "About" should be included in a wiki node page. --[[Wolf Peuker|Peu]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 12:49, 27 October 2006 (EDT)
== Interwiki Table ==
Go here to see the [[Special:Interwiki|interwiki list]], this list is editable, contact me if you want to be able to do that. [[User:John Stanton|John]] 15:20, 29 October 2006 (EST)

== Category:Uncyclomedia Foundation ==
Hi Smiddle. I found [[:category:Uncyclomedia Foundation]] where every Uncy was listed. Well, as you may know, Uncyclomedia Foundation is a one-man idea and project maded by Carlb and it's not affiliated with any other wikis than [[Uncyclopedia]] (I don't think it has anything to do with Uncyclopedia too, thought). Please watch for not adding other Uncyclopedia language projects to this category. It can by changed to [[:category:Uncyclopedia family]], [[:category:Uncyclopedia]] or [[:category:Uncyclopedia language versions]] or just leaved as it is, with one page in it.

== readable lang level categories ==
Hi Smiddle,
my intention for the subpages was to select a ''readable'' subcategory by pointing to the text of a subpage. Do you prefer the less readable level codes? Look a the discussion of the size categories, here was readablility discussed, too. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 00:00, 5 March 2007 (PST)
== template help? ==
Hi Smiddle, I'm working on a template that's similiar to the [[:Template:Wiki]] here: http://www.aboutus.org/Template:NetworkWeaver:Profile and was wondering if you knew how to make it possible to have multiple of one field, more than one "area of focus" in this case.  Thanks much in advance!  peace, [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small>
== Wiki Engine ==
Hey, there were some issues with the alt wiki engine template. caused many if not all to default to [[:Category:YourWikiEngine]] even though the wiki text was the right engine, in the html it was [[:Category:YourWikiEngine]].
I fixed it, a little, but broke other things.  [[MarkDilley]]

Hi Smiddle, I think [[NPOV]] is great for encyclopedic information and would like to start to explore what point of view would be good for this project.  Thanks for sparking that discussion! Best, [[MarkDilley]]

Hi Smiddle,
please have a look on [[Proposal:WikiIndex Pages on indexed Wikis]] --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 07:03, 3 October 2007 (EDT)
== Sysop-tag ==
Hi Smiddle,
There's a new [[template:sysop]] that can be used to tag users, which are currently active sysops. I think this will be good, because only sysops have the right to bluck/unblock and if someone feels blocked he needs help. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 06:44, 13 October 2007 (EDT)
