Mark, I like this idea. It took me a while to understand it. Now that I do, I like it. There's a problem here that we have to fix. Remember when we developed the [[Template:Wiki engine|Wiki engine template]]? We couldn't just use the Wiki template because it made sub-categories of [[:Category:All|All]], [[:Category:Vibrant|Vibrant]], etc. The same is true here. And we decided at that time to use a soft-redirect from the main namespace page to the category page so that we could put the categories there (all, vibrant, etc). I think we need to do the same here. I'm going to give it a shot, okay? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:53, 11 June 2006 (EDT) | Mark, I like this idea.

I wanted to look at WikiIndex's page about Wikipedia and noticed Category:Wikipedia has external link to PlaceOpedia. Should WikiIndex have a page about PlaceOpedia? I was going to start an article, but wasn't sure what shape the article should take (PlaceOpedia doesn't seem like a wiki, so I'm guessing [[template:wiki]] should not be used on it. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 16:07, 4 May 2007 (PDT) | I wanted to look at WikiIndex's page about Wikipedia and noticed [[:Category:Wikipedia]] has external link to PlaceOpedia.

:PlaceOpedia hasn't been updated for over four years - its' last update was August 2008. Should we delete its external link from the template?

Hey. At Wikipedia I was once a welcoming and promising user but first Marcus-E, then Metros and finally Alison teamed up and stole my chances of being famous.([[ | Hey.

If we do want to provide subjective commentary, however, I would put it on the talk page, a "/" subpage, or in a separate section of the article.

==Proposed language renaming== | ==Proposed language renaming== | ||
OK, this was sorta raised above at [[#Want a challenge?]]. I would like to propose we rename all the Wikipedia articles, so that their article page name here on WikiIndex is changed to the english translation of their native language name. I think we ought to follow the naming conventions which Wikipedia uses; the article page name is the english translation, and the 'infobox' shows the english translation, then the native language name, and/or, if need be, the name shown in actual script. [[Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]] also follows this model, as shown in the tables listed | OK, this was sorta raised above at [[#Want a challenge?]].
