testing new tag template

I love the Tag template! John Stanton 17:49, 21 Jan 2006 (EST)

I don't know why your "FAQ" page redirects to mediawiki but I suspect some kind of built-in functionality. Let's use WikiIndex:FrequentlyAskedQuestions 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!!! 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, 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 :-)" 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?MarkDilley

Red Link

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

redirected home page back to wiki index vs. comm portal

tags

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?

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).
