== Proposal 19-Feb-2006: Wiki Engine Template ==
The basic article template "Wiki List" is being used for Engine category pages.  Almost all engines have a wiki, for example, MoinMoin has MoinMoinWiki.  In this case, there is a page for the wiki ([[MoinMoinWiki]]) as well as a page for the engine category ([[:category:MoinMoin]]).  I believe this is correct.  In the case of Lizzy, there is just a single page for both the wiki and the engine: ([[:category:Lizzy]]).  This creates a recursive situation where the article points to itself.  I'm not sure this is a big problem, but now would be a good time for us to establish consistent rules.


: Checkout [[UseModWiki]].  Mark and I have been working on his idea that the page for an engine has the template box for the wiki for that engine '''and''' the list of wikis using that engine down below.  I think we've learned a lot.  [[Lizzy]] is part of our experiment.  It's definitely time to get down to business documenting what we've learned and then decide how to proceed.

I'm still a bit confused, but recommend that perhaps we make a WikiEngine template to try to solve the problem? --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 23:02, 19 Feb 2006 (EST)
: We already have one [[Template:Wiki Engine]].  It's not that simple, however.  I'm not sure I understand it myself, to be honest.  Mark? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 13:10, 21 Feb 2006 (EST)
I just edited Template:Wiki Engine to remove "last reviewed" and add WikiNode, like we have with Template:Wiki.  Is this idea still in play?  Of the soft-redirects with the categories? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 16:36, 14 Apr 2006 (EDT)
: I would like to continue in that direction, unless their is a big objection.  Even if we change midstream on it, it is not a '''ton''' of work. [[MarkDilley]]

Proposal 26-Feb-2006: Future linking

Specifically I am thinking about WikiNodes that need to be created. But as a theoretical issue, I think it helps people to understand the whole internet could be wiki. WikiBardo is along these lines. MarkDilley | talk


Proposal 03-Mar-2006: NotAWiki

Please see Category talk:NotAWiki for discussion. What do we do wtih websites about wikis? What do we do with sites that used to be wikis, but are not any longer? TedErnst | talk 11:47, 3 Mar 2006 (EST)

  • Inactive category for those? They used to be wiki but aren't anymore. MarkDilley | talk

Proposal 05-Mar-2006: RealNames

First, let me say that I appreciate anyone and everyone working on this project. I do want to propose that we make it a site standard to Use Real Names or work anonymously. Best, MarkDilley | talk

Could you say more about this, Mark? I ask because I'm totally supportive of UseRealNames for meatball or any other project where "community" is more of a focus than producing information for the public. For any wiki, I feel a lot more comfortable interacting with a person with a real name than with a pseudonym, though if I knew who that person was in real life, I might feel differently. I also feel more comfortable working with a logged in person, no matter what name, than I do working with an IP address. Reputation is tied to that login name, not just to the real person behind it. I am really looking forward to more conversation on this.

TedErnst | talk 18:37, 5 Mar 2006 (EST)

Well Ted, I think you said it. Community is more a focus than the production of knowledge. I do think that we have to allow for anonymity though. So, as I agree with you that I personally would rather people sign in, I think that allowing people to participate, but OptOut of the RealNames (proposed) site guideline, is important. IP addresses are unfortunately a part of that. Best, MarkDilley | talk

After quick discussion, working on RealNames MarkDilley | talk
