upgrade

John, your upgrade plan looks fantastic! peace, TedErnst | talk 14:44, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

Wow, pulling in another page is fab!

I love that code on NewPerson and NewWiki (might move to WikiIndex namespace), I was just thinking about something like that today!! Great work John!!! MarkDilley

Need now to review the front page and the existing add and edit links for conflicting instructions. You guys may also want to look at the New Person page and the NewWiki page to standardize what is pulled into each new page. I did the best I could but I was just winging it. May want to have a new template to suck into each new page. John Stanton 18:47, 10 May 2006 (EDT)
The French version needs updating also, my French is very poor :-) John Stanton 18:50, 10 May 2006 (EDT)

Wikis with same name

Is there any policy on how to handle multiple wikis with the same name? When trying to add Programming Wiki, I found Programming Wiki, which is a Wikia. This must have happened before, so how is that normally handled?

Also, is this the right place to ask such questions? Ahy1 19:09, 13 August 2006 (EDT)


Hello Arild,

We do not have a good way to communicate on this wiki. For those of us who read it daily, it works fine, but for weekly or occasional folks it is a wee bit confusing. Any suggestions would help. Second, we have been using disambiguation pages for multiple wiki with the same name. We also have tried placing two templates on the same page, but no decisions have been made. Will try to find you examples. Best, MarkDilley

I've started a page for your Wikka Wakka programming wiki here:Programming Wiki (hypexr.org) TedErnst | talk 15:05, 14 August 2006 (EDT)
It is not my wiki. I just found it and tried to add it to WikiIndex. Now I know what to do next time I run in to multiple wikis with the same name. Thanks. Ahy1 15:18, 14 August 2006 (EDT)

merge request

I fail to see any significant difference between Category:Languages and Category:Language. Could we merge those pages somehow? Preferably under the singular form, to avoid the WikiNamePluralProblem. --DavidCary 22:36, 3 September 2006 (EDT)
