Tags

John, I spoke with Ray and we both agree that the tags are a definate step in the right direction, I am hoping that we can figure out what we need to do to make the tag functional within the description text. Until then, I guess we place the things underneath the header/footer.

  • that was the problem, trying to make it a header, so I have just bolded it, it works now as a footer. What do you think?

Best, MarkDilley

wiki_recentchanges

In order to have a clean, uniform look in the StructuredData template, wiki_recentchanges needs to be set to "no" if there is not a RecentChanges in the wiki. Words other than "no" show up ugly and distracting.

Could we rename wiki_recentchanges to something like recent_changes_URL to emphasize that we *want* the actual URL there, not merely the word "yes" ? --DavidCary 14:38, 8 Feb 2006 (EST)

If not all information available

Can one add a wiki with blanks in several places? I'm thinking of copying a few hundred profiles from wiki4all.com and leaving the "owners" of the wikis (or some other enthusiast) to fill in the blanks from their own knowledge rather than do the research myself. robinp 14:20, 7 Feb 2006 (EST)

I'd recommend using "Unknown" instead of blank. That way, those pages will show up in Category:Unknown for further research, if the owners don't do it themselves. TedErnst | talk 15:36, 7 Feb 2006 (EST)
Should we pre-fill the template on this page with the word "Unknown" ?
