Why did the recent changes page just change to be called "activity" in the sidebar? It took me a long time to find it. Wiki people will be looking for RC. TedErnst 19:27, 21 Jan 2006 (EST)

  • Recent Changes is 4 pieces of information below Activity. I wanted to avoid redundacy, while providing access, for myself, higher up on the page. MarkDilley

How do I know if my question goes on Community talk or talk: Community talk? TedErnst 11:44, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

  • Community talk is the article descibing the page (and maybe decisions?), talk is where the action happens. Me thinks :-) MarkDilley

Mark, I would like to make the same proposal as the one in WorldWideWiki, but it seems that it is not possible to transclude anything into MediaWiki... (or to include HTML/Iframe). An other question is : Where is the rss feed? of wikiindex. OlivierAuber 10:44, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

Can we map the logos to wiki_url field, i.e. the main page? I think that images will draw people and their clicking getting to the image page is less relevant, but if that is the way it is, that would be fine! :-) MarkDilley

patrol recent changes

Does everyone know about the red exclamation marks in recent changes? It appears not, so let me explain. This is MediaWiki's "RC Patrol" feature. (This is only for logged in users) On the recent changes page, view and edit by clicking "(diff)" after the name of the edited article. after viewing the diff, click "[Mark as patrolled]", then "Return to Special:Recentchanges.". Notice that there is no longer a red exclamation mark next to the edit you just "patrolled". This tells other recent changes lurkers that somebody has looked that edit over, or "patrolled" it. When a wiki gets really busy, like the Homestar Runner Wiki tends to do on Monday mornings (because that's when homestarrunner.com is usually updated), this greatly helps reduce redundant efforts by the members of the "Recent Changes Committee". Wikipedia has this turned off (there are so many edits so quickly there that it would be pretty much impossible to keep up), so if most people aren't going to use it we could do that as well. Those exclamation marks were designed to be annoying — and they are, so I suggest we do one of the two pronto. —User:Sean Fennel@ 12:16, 3 Mar 2006 (EST)
