== testing new tag template ==
==Hola==

:I love the Tag template! [[User:John Stanton|John Stanton]] 17:49, 21 Jan 2006 (EST)
==[[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]]
Yeah, had to include the bullet point inside the Template works good now..
 
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]]
 
== 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).

Ted, is http://www.wikisym.org/wiki what you where asking about? --[[User:QWERTY|QWERTY]] 01:20, 8 Feb 2006 (EST)
 
Mark just added it to WikiIndex on the page called ''[[WikiSym]]''. --[[User:QWERTY|QWERTY]] 01:28, 8 Feb 2006 (EST)

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...

== 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>

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
==recursiveness==
it is not just on the [[:Category|Wiki engine]] page, it is now on the [[:Category talk:All]] page


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 !
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]]


'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 ..
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>


i hope this explains an odd perception of me
==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)

==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]]


== Google News Alert! ==
==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]]


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.
==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)


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)
== Request for [[WikiIndex:ServerMove|ServerMove]] concerns  ==


== Wikimedia Foundation ==
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.  Thanks! -- [[User:BrandonCsSanders|BrandonCsSanders]] ([[User talk:BrandonCsSanders|talk]]) 22:38, 14 November 2014 (UTC) (call forwarded by [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 23:22, 14 November 2014 (UTC))


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.

== 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]].
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
