Template talk:NewWiki boilerplate
This needs to stay syncronized with Template:Wiki Boilerplate unless we ditch one of them. TedErnst | talk 15:14, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
- I think there should be just one John 15:45, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
- As you suggested I would dump one of them. My preference would be to use the inputbox methodology and NewWiki because I think it's easier. For ICANNWiki I put up inputboxes on both the Community page and on each Category page and that way it was fairly obvious how to create new people, organizations and groups without complicated help pages and cut-and-paste.

- I think that's fine in general, but it doesn't take into account all situations. Sometimes we're creating pages from redlinks, like with the various Wikipedias. TedErnst | talk 17:55, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
- True, so perhaps two pages are justified then... John 19:10, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
We can also use John's inputbox for the red links as well. And we can keep them synchronized as a community pretty easily, it is not mission critcal that they are synched immediately, when one notices unsynched, synch? MarkDilley
revert of delete tag
Please see the Community Portal button for adding new wikis. Test it out. This page is needed and cannot be deleted. Also, it is not mis-named, because it's for the NewWiki function. It's not a new "Wiki boilerplate", it's a "NewWiki" boilerplate. TedErnst | talk 02:55, 10 November 2006 (EST)
- I don't understand.
- Are you saying that we need a boilerplate to help people add wiki to the WikiIndex, and that we better not delete this "NewWiki boilerplate" as long as it is in use by the "add new wiki" button on the Community Portal? In that case, I totally agree.
- Or are you saying that, for some reason, we need at least two boilerplates -- both a "Wiki boilerplate" and also a "NewWiki boilerplate"?
- (In other words, There is a reason we need both a Template:Wiki Boilerplate and also a Template:NewWiki boilerplate.?)
- In that case, I disagree. I think we only need one, and it might as well be "Template:Wiki Boilerplate", as long as the Community Portal button is adjusted to point to the One True Boilerplate. But perhaps I am merely ignorant of these "reasons" that seem so obvious to you.
- Would you mind sharing those reasons with us less-enlightened types? --DavidCary 13:11, 13 March 2008 (EDT)
deletion nomination
78.32.143.113 nominated this boilerplate for deletion. I think we should keep the boilerplate, unless there's a new boilerplate for the "Create a New Wiki Page" feature at Community Portal. --EarthFurst 06:35, 24 December 2011 (PST)
