Hi Hoof Hearted, <br>I think that it is not a good idea to "tidy" user-namespace or discussion pages. And the spaces between <code>==&nbsp;Headline&nbsp;==</code> and headline markup can help recognizing the article structure faster (for me it is like this). <br/>  
 
== Hello ==
Hi Hoof Hearted,<br/>
nice to meet you :) --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 03:57, 20 June 2011 (PDT)
:Hi Wolf, like wise, thanks and regards :) [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 04:42, 20 June 2011 (PDT)
 
== Can you help with this? ==
[[Template:Wiki]] - I want to add [[Template:Size]] into it. Best, [[MarkDilley]]
:Hmmm . . . that looks a bit too much for me.  If/when I feel brave, I'll have a go in my sandbox, and let you know how I get on.  I'm not promising anything though !  Rgds, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 02:43, 21 June 2011 (PDT)

== AboutUs ==
[[Image:Mark-all-edits-minor-by-default.png|thumb|right|don't do this unless you really know what you're doning]]
The edit you made to [[AboutUs]] - you made as a minor edit.  Any reason that you did it that way?  Seems like a major edit to me.  Please see my response to you on the talk page.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]
: I think, to mark an edit minor was a mistake that can happen quickly in the rush, or is it per [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]? What an odd idea of the MediaWiki developers, to provide such an option! Best, [[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 12:10, 29 June 2011 (PDT)
 
Wolf has the answer ''why'' it was marked as a minor edit - my preferences are set like that, because ''most'' of my edits usually are!  And I guess I clicked the save page in haste.  But what are the 'ground rules' here for what consitutes a minor vs major edit?  Is it the amount of 'content', or the quality of the 'context'?  Because my edit on AboutUs was minor in content, but I suppose quite major in context . . . Perhaps we need to copy wikipedias policy on minor edits, and amend it accordingly to suit WikiIndex (unless it is already hiding somewhere on this site!)  And I'll head over to [[Talk:AboutUs]] and discuss further.  Kind regards, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 12:42, 29 June 2011 (PDT)
: I think minor means a comma or so. The problem with setting this by default is that this mistakes happen. Most edits are minor to the editor, but a ''giant step back for mankind!'' ;) Best --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 12:52, 29 June 2011 (PDT)

== Nice work! ==
just wanted to drop you a note. Best, [[MarkDilley]]
 
:Thanks, I hope I'm not making any more n00bie mistakes!  Kind regards, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 01:06, 27 September 2011 (PDT)
 
== My edit ==
[http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3AHoof_Hearted&action=historysubmit&diff=87903&oldid=87902 here] ... was a test only. I didn't make a screenshot of it, because it would had been too large. I hope this is ok. Best --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 02:24, 27 September 2011 (PDT)
:I'm confused . . . :/ . . .  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 03:56, 27 September 2011 (PDT)
::Maybe the image on the right made the difference - to my Browser? (FF 6.0) - with this last reply by you, there was no problem. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 04:13, 27 September 2011 (PDT) <small>ps: what exactly confuses you ?</small>
 
115 times 3 times 7 equals 2415 plus the leftovers on the next page here http://stargate-wiki.org/wiki/Special:AllPages such a thing IS verifiable as you can EASILY access that info.
 
Well as i created that page and own the freakin' wiki then yes i can manipulate the stats. YOUR edits are unconstructive and biased and seek to misrepresent the wiki. Wiki stats can be hardcored to say theres 50,000,000 pages when there could only be 4, while All Pages does show how many there really are, stats can also be wrong, as is the case with my wiki. As far as I am concerned, your edits appear more to be vandalism. [[User:Escyos|Escyos]] 05:07, 28 September 2011 (PDT)

:Hi Wolf – and Happy New Year to you :)  In trying to 'improve' [[WikiIndex]], particularly in the internal '[[wiki Links|wikilinks]]' aspect, I've been reading talk pages to see which way discussions and concensus was heading – but many seemed devioid of wikilinks (maybe because these were shortly after the 'birth' of WikiIndex, and said pages and/or templates had yet to be created)!  The tidying is primarily adding these wikilinks (which are one of the fundamentals of a 'good' wiki, help prevent duplicate entries being created, and give pointers to future readers of talk pages); and the removal of excessive whitespace – with the aid of the <code><nowiki>{{TOCright}}</nowiki></code> (excessive whitespace is a pain in the rear on low resolution or smaller monitor screens such as netbooks, tablets (iPads and the likes) and smartphones - because you end up having to scroll excessively).<br>
