Hi!  Just saw your question about the anonymous person.  I think you did the right thing and I want us to really think about this idea: ''The purpose of this site is to provide an index of wikis, not to review them.''  - I am not certain that is entirely correct - certainly indexing them is the first thing, I just wonder what else of value can we do..  something to think about.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

Hi. Sorry to bug you but we need 3 [[sysop]]s to get the following articles unprotected. There is basically no one that wants them protected, as far as I can tell. We are not really sure of the purpose of this but, only that you are supposed to decide when we get to move them back out <shrug>. (Notice the statement at the top of these pages):

:Hi Wolf. Thanks for your letting me know. My question is, if it doesn't have a link, do we really want to categorize it? I see that Ted Ernst doesn't think we should. [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Category:YourWikiHttp&diff=33034&oldid=32961] Alternatively, perhaps we could put a comment in the boilerplate saying "Use http://". --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 16:43, 25 March 2010 (EDT)

:: I think, to know that we have an entry without an URL is not so useful as to make clear that the http-syntax has to be used. I think you are right with your change. Maybe we should better try to change the [[template:wiki]] to meet your point (but that's really hard stuff). --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 17:08, 25 March 2010 (EDT)

:::Yes, I can imagine that it would be. Will the comment break it, though? Maybe that's the better solution? --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 17:42, 25 March 2010 (EDT)

:::OK, I changed it to a comment. Come to think of it, though, I'm only editing the boilerplate, not the {{tl|Wiki}} itself. So this only affects users that cut-and-paste the boilerplate, not ones who create a new page using the button. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 17:48, 25 March 2010 (EDT)

The name of the website is Install Guide?  If you want to me post the URL so you can see what the site is I will be willing to due that.--[[User:JFrancis|JFrancis]] 11:07, 7 July 2010 (EDT)

:Hi JFrancis. If you follow the instructions at [[Add a Wiki]], it should be fairly easy. Otherwise, create a new page, copy your website's URL, and on the next line type <nowiki>{{add}}</nowiki>. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 14:59, 7 July 2010 (EDT)

Hi, MarvelZuvembie. I just wanted to notify you, I recently changed ([http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Template:Wiki&diff=79960&oldid=64837 1] [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Template:Wiki&diff=80143&oldid=79960 2]) {{tl|Wiki}} and {{tl|Size}} ([http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Template:Size&diff=79961&oldid=78452 1] [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Template:Size&diff=next&oldid=79961 2]). There is no visual changes (except the border-width in wiki, 5px->4px). They now are more [[wikipedia:WP:ACCESS|accessible]] and conformant with HTML/CSS thing. I hope you agree with the changes. --[[User:Bachinchi|Bachinchi]] 03:06, 14 November 2010 (PST)

Hi Marvel,<br/>
Hi Marvel,<br/>
I added some usage help to [[Template:Down|one of the templates]] and [[:Category:Wiki status templates|categorized both]] (my suggestion: we should slightly expand use of subcategories for templates). If they are fully equivalent I don't know yet. Maybe we should discuss it, it could be good to start or resume a WikiProject for this subject. Did you already find something?

:Hi Wolf. Thanks for the improvements! I'm happy to use either template (or both). But, I thought we might be duplicating effort, so I thought I'd let everyone involved know. I'll be interested to hear if Wikademia has further suggestions. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 13:24, 17 December 2010 (PST)
