==[[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.

Ted I may have to modify your Cat template because it is overwriting the bullet points see [[Audioscrobbler]]
[[Image:TedErnst char 25 percent.jpg]]
Yeah, had to include the bullet point inside the Template works good now..
[[Image:TedErnst char 10 per cent.jpg]]
 
I don't like the bullet points, detract from being a "natural" tag in the description area.  Check out what I am trying to do at [[DreamHost]]. I DO LOVE the idea of the tags!!! [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]]

Ted, I see a problem with the tagging.  it shows up in the text of the page as well as in the categories.  I was hoping that the header '''Folksonomy/Tags/Categories''' would just preside over the category area.  now if the tags didn't show up there as well as in the wiki page, that would solve the redundancy issue I am having.  Very cool start!  Best, [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]]

==Questions Answered==
* from over at [[Community talk]] - "Community talk is the article descibing the page (and maybe decisions?), talk is where the action happens. Me thinks :-)" [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]]
 
* Documented! lol. that is something we are woefully behind on.  I checked to see how long this project has been going.  We popluated this wiki '''6 days ago''', it is so new.  Any help you can give with documentation is great. I am trying to do as much as possible while still getting the wiki ready for official launch! ;-)  Thanks, [[MarkDilley]]
 
** can we add you to the agreement process, or would you rather not?[[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]]


==Folksonomy/Tags/Categories==
Rather than uploading various sizes of the same [[:Category:WikiIndex images|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:
<nowiki>[[Image:TedErnst.jpg]] [[Image:TedErnst.jpg|348px]] [[Image:TedErnst.jpg|193px]] [[Image:TedErnst.jpg|39px]]</nowiki>


== testing new signature ==
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. &mdash;[[User: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>]] 12:31, 3 Mar 2006 (EST) '''EDIT:''' Apparently only thumbnailed images can have captions, but I think you can specify the size of thethumbnail.


Here it is.  [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 13:53, 24 Jan 2006 (EST)
==recursiveness==
it is not just on the [[:Category|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 [[: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>


Ted!! U R Awesome!  Good rubs. :-)   testing, testing! [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>
==Sysop-tag==
==Red Link==
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)
I removed that login. I'll work under the Sysop login when I need to. My role was to build & format the data and bring up the site and that job is done. I won't be contributing much in the way of content so I thought it best to step out of the way and let you guys do your thing. John
: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)

== Weigh in on [[WikiIndex:Proposal: domain name change#Poll]]? ==
 
I like to inform You about a likely [[WikiIndex:Proposal: domain name change|decision to change the domain of our wiki]].
Ted, I've got a little problem with the "tag" and "category" template.  It's a trailing space issue -- when you use the template within a body of text, it somehow adds a trailing space inside the template results and worse, requires that you don't add a trailing space afterwards, else it messes up the output.  Any ideas?
Maybe You have an opinion on this, suggest additional names even.
 
Please take part in the decision finding process.
ok thanks, I'll ping John too.  I think it works well enough to use it this way, but it's not perfect unfortunately.

== Namespaces ==
 
Ted, is this what you mean about namespaces?
* http://www.wikiindex.com/Special:Allpages
 
It seems that MediaWiki already has namespace "pre-installed."  I think I am understanding them, and liking it!  I think I learned that you can make any namespace, just add a ":" - what questions do you have about namespaces, or my thoughts about them? Best, MarkDilley
 
==Thanks for your answers==
Handy guidance in a couple of directions.
 
I enjoyed skimming your blog too (though surprised to be redirected).

Mark just added it to WikiIndex on the page called ''[[WikiSym]]''. --[[User:QWERTY|QWERTY]] 01:28, 8 Feb 2006 (EST)
 
==Cudos==
* nice minor rework of [[WikiIndex]] top box!
* thinking cudos category could be place on users talk page as a semi permanent place to say thanks.. .hmmm the idea [[Talk:CudosAtWikiIndex]] or something to discuss the idea. [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>

Hola[edit]

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]

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 | talk 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 | talk 16:04, 13 October 2007 (EDT)
Good idea. I'll put it on my watch list. TedErnst | talk 17:23, 13 October 2007 (EDT)

Sssssss... Get out of bed! {scares Ted out of bed} --Snuffleupagus 12:19, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

Where's me money? [reaches inside Ted's pocket and steals wallet] --Mr. Krabs 13:03, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Addition of a wikiFactor?[edit]

Dear TedErnst, I have just started the page Proposal:wikiFactor, and it would be wonderful if you would take a look. All the best --Carl McBride (talk) 05:38, 4 March 2009 (EST)

category merge suggestion: LGBT and Queer[edit]

Request for ServerMove concerns[edit]

I wanted to be sure to draw your attention to the upcoming ServerMove and solicit your help in making the transition a positive rather than negative experience.

Weigh in on WikiIndex:Proposal: domain name change#Poll?[edit]

I like to inform You about a likely 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. --22:14, 13 March 2015 (UTC)Manorainjan (talk)
