User talk:MarkDilley/Archive5: Difference between revisions

:Hi Erwin. For completing your sysop's button collection, take a tour around [[:Category:All|our wiki collection]]. And I'm sure, [[:Category:NeedsLove|some of them will highly appreciate hour help]]. I guess for this wiki the answer is just '''no'''. (Maybe my English is too bad: I cannot discover any ''confirmation'' in John's answer.) Best regards --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 16:20, 1 April 2010 (EDT)

Hi. I just discovered [https://maps.Google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&t=h&msa=0&msid=115570622864617231547.00044e461c185a89b6d71&ll=49.095452,14.677734&spn=39.93254,79.013672&z=4 this map]. I'm trying to archive all them at [[WikiTeam]], but an article at WikiIndex for them would be nice too. Add it to the TODO list, please. Regards. [[User:Emijrp|emijrp]] 01:44, 12 June 2011 (PDT)

It was not a wiki, rather it was a [[WikiIdea]].  I am just going to redirect it to the wiki that inspired the idea for now. Sound like a good idea?  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

Hi Mark - I had to make a few deletions and recreations following the recent changes to [[WikiIndex:InterWiki]] and its talk page.  This was because by simply copying content from one page name to another slightly different by using the 'cut/copy/paste' will remove the edit history from the original pagename - and a full edit history is part of the terms of attribution for our CC-BY-SA license.  On MediaWiki, if you need to 'move' an existing page to another page which already exists as a redirect (back to the one you want to change) - you really need to delete said target redirect page first - this will then allow the correct use of the 'move' function, and more importantly, preserve all edit history.  Hope you don't mind me correcting this.

Oh, and are you able to fix the redirect for the InterWiki link in the [[Special:ListGroupRights]] so that it redirects to [[WikiIndex:InterWiki]].  I don't think sysops can do that.  Best regards, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • _{[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]} • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 02:07, 16 October 2012 (PDT)

Are we wanting [[:Category:Archived]] to be an official new sub-category of [[:Category:Wiki Status]]?  If so, it needs including into the {{Template|WikiStatus}}, and the relevant Semantic Data form will need updating too, and also probably as a sub-cat of [[:Category:Dead]].  I actually think this is a good creation :PPPP

: I don't see immediate issues with it, I am worried about thinking about [[WikiIndex]] as [[Wikipedia]] :-)  ~~ [[MarkDilley]]

That will allow there to be a parameter to [[Template:Wiki]], [[Template:MultilingualMain]] and similar templates for interwiki prefixes. So, someone will edit, e.g., the [[Nathania]] page to add, modify or remove the interwiki prefix line pertaining to that wiki. E.g.:

::[[YiFei]] - I absolutely and categorically do and will [[AssumeGoodFaith]], to you and all our other constructive editors.  And I'm genuinely sorry that we have 'crossed swords' recently.  I enjoy your energy, and on the whole value your contributions here. :-)))))))  Oh, and a very Happy New Year to you! <hugs>
