==[[FAQ]]==
I don't know why your "FAQ" page redirects to mediawiki but I suspect some kind of built-in functionality. Let's use [[WikiIndex:Frequently asked questions]] for the time being.

Rather than uploading various sizes of the same image, just upload the largest size that will be needed. Fpr this example, assume the first image above is uploaded here as "TedErnst.jpg". The same results as what you've got would be obatined by typing the following:

== recursiveness ==
 
it is not just on the Wiki Engine page, it is now on the [[:Category_talk:All]] page
 
The recurisive problem is gone, did you do something with it, or did the database just flush it out?  Soooo!! It looks great!!!!  There is an issue with [[Lizzy]] still, I think in the [[:Category:Enlish]]
 
As far as your comment:  "UseModWiki isn't going to show up in the OpenEdit cat anymore, correct? Doesn't seem right."  - not sure what you mean, I thought we solved that issue with a soft redirect? [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>
 
 
 
== Editing the talk page ==
 
Hi Ted, this issue with my idea of "Versioning" is that it is a copy of the article page, but done in a SuggestedEdit format.  That wouldn't really work on a talk page, because of all the talking going on.  Anyway it is an idea that is from last month, so old :-) - I will reintroduce it later... Best, [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>
 
== Reply from Andy==
Hi Ted, I replied to your comment on [http://distributedresearch.net/wiki/index.php/Talk:Barn_raising DARwiki barnraising]] Thanks. --[[User:Andy Roberts|Andy]] 10:04, 4 Mar 2006 (EST)
 
There's now a bit more information on the invitation which is going out to appropriate communities.

I Hope this helps to answer your concerns to some extent.  3 days to go --[[User:Andy Roberts|Andy]] 05:10, 7 Mar 2006 (EST)
 
== Deleted Redirects ==
 
Ted, fyi, I delete all redirects that I consider to be fairly useless.  Since I am probably the one that named them that in the first place at SwitchWiki :-)  I happy for you to undelete them if you find them of value. [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>
 
:-)  thanks!! [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>

Hi Ted , once again sorry for all the updates , i will try to get out of the habit .. i do tend to operate through trial and error .. and my keyboard horrible to use
 
i'm sorry if you / users have decided that i am a complete paranoic .. not at all the case .. i had forgetten something ! i spoke to a google guy this morning and , suddenly reminded of my 'zen and the art of trouble shooting ' , started again .. it seems there IS malware operating in the proxy to my home IP server .. doh !
 
'spaced out' is rather apt for the moon of course , but hopefuly you'll understand that it's more 'cyber spaced out' .. the malware has been quite confusing , i have found myself half talking to the hacker on completely unrelated message boards , such as this one , trying to get rid of them or find out who they are so i can get on with an actual launch ! it doesn't seem very sensible to run a shop from a machine that's been usurped either ..
 
i hope this explains an odd perception of me

== Google News Alert! ==
 
I've got the EvoWiki as a Google News Alert. It's usually about one alert a month, except for one alert that had about a dozen blog entries in it. My latest Google alert for [[EvoWiki]] (just received) was for the WikiIndex article.
 
BTW: Could you take a look at [[User:BlankVerse/Sandbox]] and tell me what you think. [[User talk:BlankVerse]] 10:41, 17 Mar 2006 (EST)
 
== Wikimedia Foundation ==
 
I am very confused. I recently created [[Wikimedia Foundation]]. And then, so there would be a category for all of the Wikimedia wikis, I created [[:Category:Wikimedia]]. That category looked a little too much like [[:Category:MediaWiki]], so I then ''tried'' to create [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation]]. Although it looked like I had created the category, it would then magically disappear. What I am guessing is happening is that the software has been set up so that you can't have an article and a category with the same name. [[User:BlankVerse]] | <small>[[User talk:BlankVerse|talk]]</small> 16:51, 25 Mar 2006 (EST)
 
:Thank you. I have no idea why the category wasn't created, but I tried several times.
 
: Another issue for the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] article is that I couldn't figure out a good category to put it into under [[:Category:Browse]]. [[User:BlankVerse]] | <small>[[User talk:BlankVerse|talk]]</small> 23:44, 26 Mar 2006 (EST)
 
==Domain Names==
Ted, let's first figure out which official registrar your name is registered with.  You can go to www.whois.sc and enter it to figure that out.  Then we decide which registrar you want to be with and start the transfer process. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Ray King|talk]]</small> 03:05, 27 Mar 2006 (EST)
 
 
I am at a public computer. :-)
 
== auto-patroll ==
 
In an earlier discussion you had asked whether it was possible to "auto-patroll" certain users, and I replied that it isn't. That has changed. Admins now have this option in their preferneces under Editing in MediaWiki 1.6. So if you really want it, we can have it. &mdash;[[Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Times New Roman;">User:Sean Fennel</span>]][[User talk:Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Times New Roman;">@</span>]] 14:09, 11 Apr 2006 (EDT)
 
== Wikipedia entries==
 
Hey Ted, great work on the Wikipedia language entries! [[MarkDilley]]
 
== random musings ==
 
excellent cleanup of the sidebar! symbols are suggested edits.
 
== monobook.js ==
 
I tried modifying mine and came to the conclusion that that feature (whatever its name is) must be turned off in the database. I'll just have to do without my rounded tabs. &mdash;[[Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Times New Roman;">User:Sean Fennel</span>]][[User talk:Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Times New Roman;">@</span>]] 11:17, 5 May 2006 (EDT)
 
== WikiNoding ==
 
I like that simple one you made for OWD --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Ray King|talk]]</small> 11:44, 9 May 2006 (EDT)
 
 
== Deletion ==
Hey Ted, I think we can wait for deletion of pages like that.  See if they develope, maybe use the deletion tag? Best, [[MarkDilley]]
 
== MediaWiki:Name ==
 
I didn't understand those changes you made (although I'm sure there a brilliant explanation) --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Ray King|talk]]</small> 17:00, 13 May 2006 (EDT)
 
: Ah, i c, good idea, thx. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Ray King|talk]]</small> 20:24, 13 May 2006 (EDT)
 
== include / noinclude ==


Nice find! --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Ray King|talk]]</small> 18:37, 14 May 2006 (EDT)
==recursiveness==
it is not just on the [[:Category|Wiki engine]] page, it is now on the [[:Category talk:All]] page


== Suggested Edit ==
The recurisive problem is gone, did you do something with it, or did the database just flush it out?  Soooo!! It looks great!!!!  There is an issue with [[Lizzy]] still, I think in the [[:Category:English]]


Ted, on [[Template:Delete]] - I think you have made a wonderful edit.  It takes into my concern of spreading too little conversation over too many pages, and I really appreciate that.  Best. [[MarkDilley]]
As far as your comment:  "UseMod Wiki isn't going to show up in the [[:Category:OpenEdit|OpenEdit]] cat anymore, correct? Doesn't seem right." - not sure what you mean, I thought we solved that issue with a soft redirect? [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>


== Wikipedia ==
==Sysop-tag==
Hi Ted, 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)
:Thank you for using the tag. Is there a page on [[WikiIndex]], where a user can address all admins, in case he or she needs help urgently? Should we make the talk page of [[:category:Active administrators of this wiki]] to that place? --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 16:04, 13 October 2007 (EDT)
::Good idea.  I'll put it on my watch list. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 17:23, 13 October 2007 (EDT)
Sssssss... Get out of bed! ''{scares Ted out of bed}'' --[[User:Snuffleupagus|Snuffleupagus]] 12:19, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

Hi Ted, I was just cleaning up the wikipedias, or so I thought. Take a look at what I was doing, tagging wikipedia, and removing the whole mess of links to other wikipedias.  Again, I thought I was cleaning it up, but then thought you might have a specific plan for them. [[MarkDilley]]
==Addition of a wikiFactor?==
Dear TedErnst, I have just started the page [[Proposal:wikiFactor]], and it would be wonderful if you would take a look. All the best --[[User:Spud Gun|<b><FONT COLOR="#8B3A3A">Carl McBride</FONT></b>]] ([[User talk:Spud Gun|talk]]) 05:38, 4 March 2009 (EST)


== WikiSym 2006 in Odense ==
==Dispute Resolution==
Hey Ted, wanted to see if you were interested in dispute resolution, my suggestion is [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3AThis_is_not_the_solution&diff=69572&oldid=69536 here] ~~ [[MarkDilley]]


Hi Ted, and thank you for leaving me a notice. I only heard about WikiSym a few weeks ago and was dead excited to hear it taking place here in Odense - of all places! :-) I hope very much to meet you there. We are trying to get a press accreditation, and a permit to cover the event on video. I will of course post the news on our site - for the moment I have been preoccupied with the news of Mr. Lessig visiting Denmark on the 10th of June, which we hope to be able to cover too. --[[User:Morten Blaabjerg|Morten Blaabjerg]] 14:08, 18 May 2006 (EDT)
==Your thoughts on upgrade and logo==
Hi Ted, can you check out, contribute if you want - [[WikiIndex:Admin Notes#October 2010 Upgrade Thoughts]] - best, [[MarkDilley]]


== Wiki Engine v Wiki Farm ==
==category merge suggestion: LGBT and Queer==
Suggestion at [[Category talk:Sexuality]].  Hope you will post a reply there. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 20:56, 16 November 2010 (PST)


Hey Ted, Re: [http://www.wikiindex.com/index.php?title=Category_talk:Editthis.info&rcid=23624 Editthis.info] I thought about that too, but went with no because it is a wiki farm rather than a wiki engine.  So there were no redundancy/recursive issues. What do you think?  [[MarkDilley]]
== Request for [[WikiIndex:ServerMove|ServerMove]] concerns  ==


If it does end up being a subpage, then we have an issue. I just couldn't figure out in my head if it would become a subpage or not, my guess is no, but let's keep an eye out for the opposite. [[MarkDilley]]
I wanted to be sure to draw your attention to the upcoming [[WikiIndex:ServerMove|ServerMove]] and solicit your help in making the transition a positive rather than negative experience. Please take a moment to visit [[WikiIndex:ServerMove|ServerMove]] and curate the list of concerns.

== Weigh in on [[WikiIndex:Proposal: domain name change#Poll]]? ==
My pleasure. :) [[User:Szoferka|Szoferka]] 00:09, 3 June 2006 (EDT)
I like to inform You about a likely [[WikiIndex:Proposal: domain name change|decision to change the domain of our wiki]].
Maybe You have an opinion on this, suggest additional names even.
Please take part in the decision finding process.

FAQ[edit]

I don't know why your "FAQ" page redirects to mediawiki but I suspect some kind of built-in functionality. Let's use WikiIndex:Frequently asked questions for the time being.

images[edit]

http://static.flickr.com/19/95199503_e4c24693f6.jpg TedErnst char 90 per cent.jpg TedErnst char 50 per cent.jpg TedErnst char 25 percent.jpg TedErnst char 10 per cent.jpg

Rather than uploading various sizes of the same image, just upload the largest size that will be needed. For this example, assume the first image above is uploaded here as "TedErnst.jpg". The same results as what you've got would be obatined by typing the following: [[Image:TedErnst.jpg]] [[Image:TedErnst.jpg|348px]] [[Image:TedErnst.jpg|193px]] [[Image:TedErnst.jpg|39px]]

Just specify the number of pixels wide you want an image to be scaled to. Specify "thumb" to thumbnail it. Other parameters include left, right, center, and frame. Any other text is put in as a caption. I'm going to upload a picture of myself and do all this on my page to show you what I mean. —User:Sean Fennel@ 12:31, 3 Mar 2006 (EST) EDIT: Apparently only thumbnailed images can have captions, but I think you can specify the size of thethumbnail.

recursiveness[edit]

it is not just on the Wiki engine page, it is now on the Category talk:All page

The recurisive problem is gone, did you do something with it, or did the database just flush it out? Soooo!! It looks great!!!! There is an issue with Lizzy still, I think in the Category:English

As far as your comment: "UseMod Wiki isn't going to show up in the OpenEdit cat anymore, correct? Doesn't seem right." - not sure what you mean, I thought we solved that issue with a soft redirect? MarkDilley | talk

Sysop-tag[edit]
