testing new tag template
- I love the Tag template! John Stanton 17:49, 21 Jan 2006 (EST)
I don't know why your "FAQ" page redirects to mediawiki but I suspect some kind of built-in functionality. Let's use WikiIndex:FrequentlyAskedQuestions for the time being.
Ted I may have to modify your Cat template because it is overwriting the bullet points see Audioscrobbler Yeah, had to include the bullet point inside the Template works good now..
I don't like the bullet points, detract from being a "natural" tag in the description area. Check out what I am trying to do at DreamHost. I DO LOVE the idea of the tags!!! MarkDilley
Ted, I see a problem with the tagging. it shows up in the text of the page as well as in the categories. I was hoping that the header Folksonomy/Tags/Categories would just preside over the category area. now if the tags didn't show up there as well as in the wiki page, that would solve the redundancy issue I am having. Very cool start! Best, MarkDilley
Namespaces
Ted, is this what you mean about namespaces?
It seems that MediaWiki already has namespace "pre-installed." I think I am understanding them, and liking it! I think I learned that you can make any namespace, just add a ":" - what questions do you have about namespaces, or my thoughts about them? Best, MarkDilley
Thanks for your answers
Handy guidance in a couple of directions.
I enjoyed skimming your blog too (though surprised to be redirected).

WikiSym MediaWiki wiki
Ted, is http://www.wikisym.org/wiki what you where asking about? --QWERTY 01:20, 8 Feb 2006 (EST)
Mark just added it to WikiIndex on the page called WikiSym. --QWERTY 01:28, 8 Feb 2006 (EST)
images

Rather than uploading various sizes of the same image, just upload the largest size that will be needed. Fpr this example, assume the first image above is uploaded here as "TedErnst.jpg". The same results as what you've got would be obatined by typing the following:
[[Image:TedErnst.jpg]] [[Image:TedErnst.jpg|348px]] [[Image:TedErnst.jpg|193px]] [[Image:TedErnst.jpg|39px]]
Just specify the number of pixels wied you want an image to be scaled to. specify "thumb" to thumbnail it. other parameters include left, right, center, and frame. Any other text is put in as a caption. I'm going to upload a picture of myself and do all this on my page to show you what I mean. —User:Sean Fennel@ 12:31, 3 Mar 2006 (EST) EDIT: Apparently only thumbnailed images can have captions, but I think you can specify the size of thethumbnail.
recursiveness
it is not just on the Wiki Engine page, it is now on the Category_talk:All page
The recurisive problem is gone, did you do something with it, or did the database just flush it out? Soooo!! It looks great!!!! There is an issue with Lizzy still, I think in the Category:Enlish
As far as your comment: "UseModWiki isn't going to show up in the OpenEdit cat anymore, correct? Doesn't seem right." - not sure what you mean, I thought we solved that issue with a soft redirect? MarkDilley | talk
Editing the talk page
Hi Ted, this issue with my idea of "Versioning" is that it is a copy of the article page, but done in a SuggestedEdit format. That wouldn't really work on a talk page, because of all the talking going on. Anyway it is an idea that is from last month, so old :-) - I will reintroduce it later... Best, MarkDilley | talk

I Hope this helps to answer your concerns to some extent. 3 days to go --Andy 05:10, 7 Mar 2006 (EST)
Deleted Redirects
Ted, fyi, I delete all redirects that I consider to be fairly useless. Since I am probably the one that named them that in the first place at SwitchWiki :-) I happy for you to undelete them if you find them of value. MarkDilley | talk
- -) thanks!! MarkDilley | talk
