You could protect the page to "Block unregistered users" so that we won't have any anonymous IP jerkoff vandals. &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 09:40, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

Yes, we can do that if it really becomes a big problem in the future.  I'm a big fan of [[Meatball:SoftSecurity]] and it seems that today that worked just fine.  Hopefully that will continue to be the case.  [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 10:16, 18 October 2006 (EDT)
 
== Spam filter rejects Recent Visitors ==
 
When I try to add my site, Wikimocracy, to the recent visitors list, I get rejected by the spam filter. This is because the recent visitor's list contains a direct link to wikiindex.org. Have I been doing the wrong thing? --[[User:Nopaniers|Nopaniers]] 07:24, 29 December 2006 (PST)
:I was just able to successfully edit it logged in both as me and my bot, though my first edit won't showup in the history because I didn't change anything. Try it again. &mdash;&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Arial;">[[User:Sean Fennel]][[User talk:Sean Fennel|@]]</span> 20:38, 29 December 2006 (PST)

== Automatically Called Numbers ==
 
'''Presently 3,352 pages about wiki, wiki people and wiki ideas.'''
 
Here is code for number of pages and number of files:
 
Presently [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] pages about plants.
 
Presently [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFFILES}}]] photos of plants.
 
 
Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically insert the number of Wanted pages, like the examples above for NUMBEROFARTICLES , etc.

: ''How is this? [[Special:Wantedcategories]]'' [[MarkDilley]]
 
Yeah, that works for getting to the page for wanted articles, but I was looking for something which just inserts the number of wanted articles into a sentence, like the 2 examples above.

== templates broken ==
 
Is it just me, or is our front page broken?  [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 15:31, 30 January 2007 (PST)
: It is not broken to me &ndash; [[Smiddle]]/<small>[[Talk:Smiddle|T]][[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]</small> 07:31, 31 January 2007 (PST)
 
I fixed it, someone left a note on the recent visitor template. [[MarkDilley]]
 
== Welcome, (username) ==
 
We could add this to make it look more welcoming, perhaps? &ndash; [[Smiddle]]/<small>[[Talk:Smiddle|T]][[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]][[Special:Emailuser/Smiddle|@]]</small> 10:29, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
: Can do it in the text somewhere like '''Welcome {{CURRENTUSER}}''' but not in a page title :-) [[User:John Stanton|John]] 16:57, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
: Syntax is:
<pre>
'''Welcome {{CURRENTUSER}}'''
</pre>
But for anonymous users, it's just blank. Therefore, we can change it to
<pre><nowiki>{{#if:{{CURRENTUSER}}|Welcome, {{CURRENTUSER}}!|Welcome!}}</nowiki></pre>
&ndash; [[Smiddle]]/<small>[[Talk:Smiddle|T]][[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]][[Special:Emailuser/Smiddle|@]]</small> 10:35, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
:Very good [[User:John Stanton|John]] 13:05, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
::So will we change it? It feels a little weird having both "Welcome, (username)" ''and'' "Welcome, visitors", so what should we do? I'm not a very creative guy. &ndash; [[Smiddle]]/<small>[[Talk:Smiddle|T]][[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]][[Special:Emailuser/Smiddle|@]]</small> 14:40, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
:I put it at the very top of the front page, looks good! [[User:John Stanton|John]] 18:45, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
::Now it's not blank for anonymouses anymore. – [[Smiddle]]/<small>[[Talk:Smiddle|T]][[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]][[Special:Emailuser/Smiddle|@]]</small> 07:10, 16 June 2007 (EDT)
