Found this in Category:Vibrant today, we celebrate because we notice (meaning I don't know how long we have had 122!)

Better to have a proper description

The text ("Welcome...!") is fine for the main page but not repeated on a page that's meant to be describing the wiki. robinp 18:59, 14 Feb 2006 (EST)

i.e. we shouldn't use the Wiki_List template to describe the WikiIndex on the main page? --Raymond King | talk 19:20, 14 Feb 2006 (EST)

Use real names

Is Use Real Names a policy here? I want to know how to sign up. 158.135.241.100 aka SeanFennel aka ACupOfCoffee 02:36, 1 Mar 2006 (EST)

Never mind. I figure I better not screw with precedent. I have absolutely no idea what specifying my real name to MediaWiki does, if anything, and signing with one name but showing up in recent changes with another would just get real confusing real quick. Real name it is. Sean Fennel 11:11, 1 Mar 2006 (EST)

Thanks Sean! There is no official policy at this wiki, yet. But I am pushing for UseRealNames. :-) Best, MarkDilley | talk

The [Community:UseRealNames] may be a good place for discussing why some wiki emphasize UseRealNames, but others don't.

size

I recommend not having the size category on the main page until someone actually impliments the idea. And that seems a long way off. The guy that created the procedure hasn't been heard from since. TedErnst | talk 02:51, 9 Apr 2006 (EDT)

Why not make wikiIndex use multilingual functions like Wikipedia?

Why can't this wiki truly use the multilingual function of MediaWiki? That is, why not use the [[fr:wikiindex]] syntax to send all that French stuff to French pages? It's not rocket science (it can't be, because I'm setting up a trilingual wiki, http://en.chainki.com, http://fr.chainki.com, and http://nl.chainki.com) with only minor headaches.
