Proposal 03-Mar-2006: NotAWiki
Please see Category talk:NotAWiki for discussion. What do we do wtih websites about wikis? What do we do with sites that used to be wikis, but are not any longer? TedErnst | talk 11:47, 3 Mar 2006 (EST)
- Inactive category for those? They used to be wiki but aren't anymore. MarkDilley | talk
Proposal 05-Mar-2006: RealNames
First, let me say that I appreciate anyone and everyone working on this project. I do want to propose that we make it a site standard to Use Real Names or work anonymously. Best, MarkDilley | talk
- Could you say more about this, Mark? I ask because I'm totally supportive of UseRealNames for meatball or any other project where "community" is more of a focus than producing information for the public. For any wiki, I feel a lot more comfortable interacting with a person with a real name than with a pseudonym, though if I knew who that person was in real life, I might feel differently. I also feel more comfortable working with a logged in person, no matter what name, than I do working with an IP address. Reputation is tied to that login name, not just to the real person behind it. I am really looking forward to more conversation on this.

Well Ted, I think you said it. Community is more a focus than the production of knowledge. I do think that we have to allow for anonymity though. So, as I agree with you that I personally would rather people sign in, I think that allowing people to participate, but OptOut of the RealNames (proposed) site guideline, is important. IP addresses are unfortunately a part of that. Best, MarkDilley | talk
After quick discussion, working on RealNames MarkDilley | talk
Proposal 08-Apr-2006: Name structures
- Change title of "Category Articles" to "Wiki"
Proposal 08-Apr-2006: Namespace conventions
Proposal 08-Apr-2006: Description
- I agree with the sentiment of the Description header at Template talk:Wiki Boilerplate - seems redundant, but the edit tag is nicely placed.
