MarkDilley

Send me a message

Hello, I am new to MediaWiki and so am introducing a bit more WikiWay to it. I enjoy the space! :-)

I began SwitchWiki several years. The orginal description is over at MeatBall, and the first iteration of it, a flat 26 alphabetical list, resides at WorldWideWiki.

I met Ray and John at WikiSym last year and we vibed on this project. I am extremly excited about this project for I see it as a stepping stone to continued SelfOrganization.

The idea of a wiki of wikis is recursive to me. Thus I am thinking and working on PhpWiki and Wikicities as examples of the ideas I am trying to groke.

Mark, I'm okay with whatever is going to happen here and don't need it to look any way, so please know that I love you very much and all my suggestions are just that, suggestions. I'm here to help. :-)

That said, Mediawiki has some really cool features that I think will be useful to use. Notice how MarkDilley and User: MarkDilley are two different pages? One is an article and the other is a user. I believe it'll be cleaner to not have any people in the article namespace, the space that you want to be full of wikis. When you make a comment that you'd like signed, you don't have to link to anything, you can just type 4 tildes, and it'll expand out with the datestamp and a link to your user page.

• Ted I do not know how to redirect my page MarkDilley to user:MarkDilley, please do that if you can. I want the simplicity of wiking my name.

Oh, and I just remembered, media wiki also has a talk page connected with every other page, in every namespace. So if I want to leave a comment for you, I don't leave it on your user page, but on your talk page: User talk: MarkDilley and you'll get a notification (I'm pretty sure) that you have a new message.
