Hello folks, I don't use watched pages very much. But I do on my [[user talk]] page, or did, way back when and I try to unwatch it. that doesn't work, every time I unwatch it, the next login, it is being watched again, any ideas?

:I can only guess that that's a MediaWiki feature. If you don't use the [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]], does having something on there impact you somewhere else?

==Wikis that are "paid-to-edit"== | |||
Hello. Should there be a category for wikis where people get paid to edit? Yes, I said paid to edit, not [[:Category:Pay to edit|pay to edit]]. What kind of category would this category be? It just doesn't seem like an edit mode, but maybe it is. However, also keep in mind that there have been very few wikis that do this; the online encyclopedia Wixpert (which became a dead wiki before anyone could list it on WikiIndex) had a place in user preferences to put a Google AdSense code, and (at least at one time) [[EditThis.info]] had a place in control panel (wiki admin controls) to put a Google AdSense code. But that was just getting paid fractions of a cent per visit because of ads; then there were some [[:Category:ByInvitation|ByInvitation]] websites where you have to show the admins a resume and samples of your writing before you can have an account, and those sites actually had you do contract work, complete with making an invoice at the end; a freelance writing gig that just happens to use MediaWiki markup on an invite-only wiki. Or maybe there's only one wiki like that; [[New World Encyclopedia]] is definitely this. But how many wikis have actually paid their writers, whether it's contract work or just ad revenue sharing? And what should the "paid to edit" category be? An edit mode, a tag of some kind, or are there just not enough wikis? I mean, if people click that paid to edit category and they just see New World Encyclopedia, maybe it's not a category worth having. But I'm also aware of the ones that use ad revenue sharing, but I'm not sure how many exist anymore. [[User:Star651|Star651]] ([[User talk:Star651|talk]]) 20:34, 8 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
