Text replacement - "WikiIndex:RealNames" to "WikiIndex:Real names"

:::I agree. That is a downside to Analytics - I've been looking at ways to make data from there more public, perhaps with a special page of its own or using the new "extra statistics" hook added in 1.16, but it requires a fair bit of coding because of the way they handle accounts (it's biased towards firms that want to offer access to customers' accounts, so it's needlessly complex for generating custom reports for your own site). We had over 30 million pageviews in total while at Wikia, which may seem surprising until you consider our coverage includes numerous articles on popular pornography artists and their works, as well as related websites. Thankfully we do not host the works ''themselves'', otherwise our bandwidth bill would go through the roof, but I've already [http://community.livejournal.com/wikifur/81592.html had to do micro-optimizations] on [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Softpaw_Magaizine a few] [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/High_Tail_Hall pages].

== The Cross-Linking Thing == | |||

Hi Green Reaper, | |||
Wikiindex deals also about wiki people, that's why have personal pages in the main namespace. As you know, the MediaWiki software provides notifications about changes in your user talk page, now this service gets not active if somebody wants to contact you on [[Talk:GreenReaper]]. Our cross-linking is quite easy: Two pairs of pages, one in the main namespace and the corresponding one in the user namespace were bound thus: add two redirects, | |||
* [[User:GreenReaper]] → [[GreenReaper]] and | |||
* [[Talk:GreenReaper]] → [[User talk:GreenReaper]] | |||
Think about adding a link to the tool functions like ''User contributions'' or ''E-mail this user'' by hand on your page in the article space. | |||
I made an demonstration image, for the case my English isn't clear enough. | |||
Best regards --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 13:24, 13 November 2009 (EST) <small>ps: nice photo :-)</small> | |||
:I used a soft redirect on [{{fullurl:User:GreenReaper|action=edit}} the user page] because this is the custom elsewhere; people often want to get to the special toolbox pages you describe when clicking on a username. I have added a user information box to the external links section, similar to that used on WikiFur, and converted the soft redirect to a hard one. I don't like the idea of redirecting the talk page, as I feel there should be a separation between the discussion of the article vs. conversation with the user, but I have added a header in case people go there hoping to talk with me. I had already added the page GreenReaper to my watchlist, including changes to the talk page. If you didn't know about the option to email on watched page changes, it's in [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]. [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] 13:58, 13 November 2009 (EST) | |||
::I know and use the notification service for watched pages and I'm watching on what ever I can. You are fully right: hard redirects are not better than the soft ones. I just wanted to inform you about this wikiindex thing, use it if you like it. Best :-) --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 14:42, 13 November 2009 (EST) | |||
:::...if your really want to out you: move the contents of [[GreenReaper]] to [[Laurence Parry]]... I'm not ''sure'' if it's a good idea, but I like it. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 17:18, 13 November 2009 (EST) | |||
::::As far as I'm concerned, GreenReaper is my [[WikiIndex:Real names|real name]], but feel free to call me "Green". ;-) For more discussion, [[meatball:GreenReaper|see here]]. [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] 17:31, 13 November 2009 (EST) | |||
::::: Hi then, Green! --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 17:42, 13 November 2009 (EST) | |||
:::::: Hi Wolf. :-) You have a furrier name than I do! '''*grin*''' [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] 17:45, 13 November 2009 (EST) | |||
::::::: Indeed! So, do you want to swap? --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 17:57, 13 November 2009 (EST) | |||
::::::::Thanks for the offer, but I'm not really much of a name-swinger. ;-) [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] 18:08, 13 November 2009 (EST) | |||
:::::::::Ok, seriously !!.. are you sure that is you and not a stolen younger picture of Brion Vibber? :D ...--[[User:Comets|Comets]] 20:09, 24 November 2009 (EST) | |||
::::::::::Nah; Brion has a taller face, a slightly more prominent nose, and totally different ears. Check the source, I took it myself! [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] 21:22, 24 November 2009 (EST) | |||
