:::OK, I stand corrected. But some other people might not know what it means. Anyhoo, as you say, my point is made (even if I am technically correct).
:::Good idea about moving stuff to this project page. I actually think that this line in 'Step 4' needs to be improved:
:::''Enter the appropriate info for your wiki. All the appropriate categories are listed on the Wiki Index page of this wiki'''
:::Firstly I don't see '''all' the categories on the index page and secondly, it would be better to walk people through with lines like: '''Replace 'YourWikiHttp' with the URL of the wiki you are adding'''.
:::Actually, I wonder if people should be told by this project to copy and past text that says: 'YourWikiEditMode' when the line could read 'UnknownEditMode' from word go. There could then be a line in the instructions that says something like: '''If you know the EditMode of the wiki, change it from 'UnknownEditMode' to an appropriate edit mode from the 'Category:Wiki_Edit_Mode' page'''.
Some stuff like that could keep things brief, but have plenty of links over to other pages that give all the possible options for each attribute in the template. [[User:David Shepheard|David Shepheard]] 18:19, 18 May 2009 (EDT)
