Hi again.  Can you please refrain from creating hard [[redirect]]s to non-WikiIndex articles?  That means no redirects to other sites such as [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia]], [[Uncyclomedia]] or [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] wikis, etc.  Redirects should only be used for existing articles or categories here on WikiIndex.  If there is a real need to link to offsite wikis, we specifically use the [[interwiki]] table.  Best regards, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 04:30, 14 April 2013 (PDT)

I'm not sure why you are both trying to re-invent the wheel?  The default [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] signature generator is the most secure method of generating a signature - and it is how all other MediaWiki installations do it.  And I'm also not sure why there is seemingly apparent denial of the very real spam problem from Mark!  Finally, I really don't get why Mark is trying to 'clean up the wiki' - signatures with timestamps is the way MediaWiki works - and that is exactly how the millions of existing MediaWiki users will be familiar with.  Mark, if you really don't like how MediaWiki works, then maybe it is time to either shut down WikiIndex, or move it back to a more prehistoric [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engine]].  A lot of effort is being wasted here .... maybe time for me to check-out - just like the many other valuable past contributors to this site! :////  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 03:42, 5 May 2013 (PDT)

Sadly, the changes to [[Template:TOCright]] have now messed up many other articles which use it.  See [[Regiowikis]] for an example - before it was altered, the TOC would float immediately below the infobox.  I think we need to revert the TOCright template, and try to fix the padding/margin spacing and placement for the TourBusStop box.  I understand (and respect) why the [[IP editor]] wanted this change, but it has resulted in messing up far more articles than has been resolved.  Maybe we ought to undelete Template:WikiMANNia/TOC.  What are your thoughts on this?  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 02:19, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
