And more importantly, is this compatible with Semantic MediaWiki? Are there any SMW sites which use this?

## Seems to be quite [[mw:Extension talk:Translate|buggy]]. The three sites which currently use it have far more active software developers that we do here at WikiIndex. Whilst I agree with the ethos, I fear this may be more of a hassle and can of worms :( [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 02:39, 22 April 2013 (PDT) | |||

##I'm not convinced. This seems to work well on Wikipedia, which relies heavily on linking between articles. Here on WikiIndex, we rarely link between articles, and [[Template:NewWiki boilerplate]] is obsolete (whichever 'boilerplate' is used, be they the [[Template:Wikia boilerplate|Wikia version]] or any of the language-specific versions, they all call on just one template - [[Template:Wiki]] to render the infobox). So not needed.

##Why????? Either use [[Special:RecentChanges]], or if you want to watch a specific user, add them to your watchlist :/ [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 02:39, 22 April 2013 (PDT) | |||
# [[mw:Extension:NewUserMessage]] — ''Pro:'' would automatcally place a welcome message. - ''Con:'' The effort of personally welcoming someone is what builds community I think. I am afraid that a robot generated welcome message would deter from a welcoming environment. It certainly would place information on a person's talk page, not sure how valuable that is though.

##No way. If we as a community can't manage a personal welcome for the few genuine new users we get, then we should bury our collective heads in shame :-((((( [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 02:39, 22 April 2013 (PDT) | |||
