Better to have a proper description[edit]
The text ("Welcome...!") is fine for the main page but not repeated on a page that's meant to be describing the wiki. robinp 18:59, 14 Feb 2006 (EST)
i.e. we shouldn't use the Wiki_List template to describe the WikiIndex on the main page? --Raymond King | talk 19:20, 14 Feb 2006 (EST)
Use real names[edit]
Is Use Real Names a policy here? I want to know how to sign up. 158.135.241.100 aka SeanFennel aka ACupOfCoffee 02:36, 1 Mar 2006 (EST)

Why not make WikiIndex use multilingual functions like Wikipedia?[edit]
Why can't this wiki truly use the multilingual function of MediaWiki? That is, why not use the [[Fr:WikiIndex]] syntax to send all that French stuff to French pages? It's not rocket science (it can't be, because I'm setting up a trilingual wiki,
