We had a flatfile Google sitemap up until the last upgrade of [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] and apparently it did not survive the upgrade :-) I just implemented the automatic xml version suggested above and it seems to work great! We will need to keep an eye on it because 1) it is not qualified for mediawiki 1.6.5 and 2) it takes a bit of time to generate the output (it found 7804 wiki pages on the trial run).

:Hi John, you may want to alter the SQL Statement by limiting the number of pages fetched (SELECT TOP 200 ... or the likes). That way only the last X edits will show up. Google will fetch the sitemap every 12 hours or so, therefore it'll only get the latest batch of updated pages. Of course find some values that'll work for this site. I don't know how many edits per day you're having here. Cheers Caspar/[http://www.thinklemon.com/ ThinkLemon]. (Oh and if the MediaWiki database schema did not change from 1.5 to 1.6 it should work fine. Haven't tried it myself though. ;-)) | :Hi John, you may want to alter the SQL Statement by limiting the number of pages fetched (SELECT TOP 200 ... or the likes).

==How are you doing hotlinking in mediawiki== | ==How are you doing hotlinking in mediawiki== | ||
On my wiki's article here <nowiki>http:// | On my wiki's article here <nowiki>http://WikiIndex.org/Trendpedia well</nowiki> (moved to http://wikiindex.org/Trendpedia well) it's hotlinking my logo. I can't find how this happens. {{{wiki_logo}}} with three { and } instead of two is the only thing I see and that's in the wiki template, which is full of the three { and } things. Two is templates. So what are the three? I'm more interested in how this is done and what the three { } are above. I would actually prefer to keep the image hotlinked because it lets me test if I have hotlinks blocked, which I think I finally figured out how to do thanks to this site.

==Duplicate categories== | ==Duplicate categories== | ||
We do seem to have many redundant categories, for instance [[:category:game]] / [[:category:games]] / [[:category:gaming]]. These seem to often be being #REDIRECT'ed - not necessarily the best approach, as a redirected page still appears to be a blue link and therefore is prone to keep getting added to articles. Would deleting the duplicates entirely so that they become [[red links]] be more likely to discourage their recreation or re-use?

The [http://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASmiddle&diff=37811&oldid=37514 politics] is, I presume, just a sideshow and the creation of multiple near-identical categories in most cases merely an accident, but I thought it would be best to ask here instead of trying to find a "votes for speedy deletion" tag for them. | ||
This is a community-created site, without a top-down determination of which categories we ought to be using. If you see duplication, feel free to clean it up. You can also use '''<nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki>''' for an empty category that needs to be removed.
