there are actually 3 fields in mediawiki for names - one is Username and we've renamed that Name.  one is Real name and is optional.  I'm not sure what it's used for.  both of these two are on the page I linked above.  The third is nickname and can be seen here: http://www.wikiindex.com/Special:Preferences

No, maybe not - I think I see them on [Wiki_Index]], so you were probably just belatedly removing them from a temp store while doing something else. Efficiency... [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] 02:04, 16 May 2006 (EDT)

Further up the page. Commenting here in case it's useful. One way to see what hasn't been looked at for a while is [[special:ancientpages]]. (Hmmmm - interesting to see what's the most ancient at this moment!) [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] 02:04, 16 May 2006 (EDT)

==Phone calls==
I don't do much telephoning, especially if it's something that requires deliberation. And the only really comfortable time would be weekdays from about 5.30pm NZ time (0530 UTC April to October - ie 12.30am EST?, 0630 in "summer") until about an hour later. But '''I love email''': robinp"at"xtra.co.nz gets me almost instantly when I'm at work and within 24hr if my home PC is working. [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] 02:04, 16 May 2006 (EDT)

== re: Wikipedia  ==
Well, I did have a specific plan. :-)
No worries.  I'm not wedded to my plan.
Okay, here's my thinking:
Wikipedia is really important.  It's important in English because it's the biggest wiki and it gets the most press.  It's important in general because it's changing the way people conceive of the expert/peon split.  Given that, it's really important for us to have all Wikipedias represented here.  The redlinks shown on all wikipedia pages help others see that there's work to be done.  It's an invitation of sorts.  (As an aside, I believe this technique is useful for all wikis that have seperate language versions of the same thing. [[Uncyclopedia]] or something like that is another one I've already started.  WikiMedia has other examples.)  Anyway, another reason to do it is to emphasize the connections between these different wikipedias.  Other wikis aren't bound the way the wikipedias are.  They all have the same mission, just different languages, so tying them together tightly on our site is important.  I also really like the category:wikipedia, so even if we go with my template, I'd like to put the category in it.
Any change in your thoughts now that you know there's a reason?  peace, [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 08:44, 17 May 2006 (EDT)
== wiki engine/wiki farm ==
Yes, you're right.  I was mixed up.  And yet, doesn't a wiki farm page that shows up as a category still end up becoming a sub-category?  And isn't that one thing we were trying to avoid with wiki engines?  Seems like a parallel issue to me.  I dunno. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 14:12, 19 May 2006 (EDT)
Yep, check it out: [[:Category:Multilingual]]
== add template and new wikis ==
Mark, I see you've added the structured data empty boilerplate to the add template.  I think this makes it more difficult to go through category first additional as well as the unknown categories.  Could we talk about this?  Thanks! [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 18:15, 19 May 2006 (EDT)
:''Hey Ted, remove it if it causing you trouble.  I personally think, without seeing your references, that it is a better way to search for new wiki to add, then the category first additional, which as you remember, I tried to get rid of! :-) [[MarkDilley]]
I don't mind getting rid of first additional (even if I said otherwise before).  Can you say more about the benefits of having the structured date with the add template?  [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 21:55, 20 May 2006 (EDT)
Well, before John did the add your wiki button on Community Portal, I don't think it mattered. But with people possibly entering their own wiki, the Add Structured Data box seems to be real helpful for them to figure out what to put where.  Just a gut feeling, nothing more, seems to make sense to me.  (also, since I was just adding that box anyways, when I added new wikis via this button) [[MarkDilley]]
: Oh also, seems more natural to look for wiki through the category add wiki, instead of through first/second additional.)
''Could we nuke first/second additional right now to simplify this conversation?  I'm not going to do it at the moment, but let's just assume it's done.''
: ''Okay, cool.  Alright.  Let's say I'm a new person and I come here and I see that my wiki isn't here.  I use John's add a wiki button, the default brings in the structured data, I fill out the form, and we're done, yes?  Cool, so far this has nothing to do with the add template, right?  Just trying to make sure we're still on the same page.  Okay, so with new person adding one wiki, no need to add template, the person does their own structured data.  Cool.  Now, scenario #2.  You, Ray or I find a new wiki or 10 and don't have time or inclination to actually fill in the structured data.  We just put the URL in and the add template and we're done.  Someone else looking through categories wikis to add sees these wikis need structured data and tehy add it.  Cool, right?  On the other hand, if the blank (unknowns) structured data is attached to the add template, you or ray or I adds a URL and project unknowns gets stuck with a bunch of new unknowns.  So what am I missing?  Help me see the benefits?  Thanks!  [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 02:20, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
Ok, so I add a new wiki through Johns magic wizard.  We are ignoring that category first, and second, though they seem similar to me.  The template has the add template.  I find that useful for two reasons:  1) it has the [[StructuredData]] link on it, I think this may help people while they fill in their page. (much the way we thought category first/second would, and why I pushed for a tag in the form)  2) It adds the page to category wikis to add for folks who are working on those tasks.  I am unclear why it is a problem from the view point of category unknown and category first/second.  Similar to your questions: what am I missing?  Help me see the benefits/problems?
: PErhaps we need to wait until we can speak about this.  Text is just too slow and cumbersome.  I will try one more time, howeverr. :-)  I'm a glutton for punishment.  Here's how I saw things before this change:
*** category add a wiki had pages with just a url - they needed everything added, structured data, description, everything - wikis were only in this category as a time-saver b/c ray, mark and ted didn't always want to spend the time to put all the structured data in when they found a new wiki
****''I think of it more as a process, not only because we didn't want to spend the time on it.'' [[MarkDilley]]
***** Sorry, I shouldn't have tried to guess why we didn't fill in the structured data.  We each have our own reasons at the time we do it.  The reasons don't really matter.  What matters is that we do it, and that's not a problem at all, incremental improvements are great! [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 14:02, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
*** category unknown engine had pages in it where someone had already put in the structured data and the engine is still unknown - this is a 2nd step
*** category unknown edit mode similarly had pages in it where someone had already put in the stuctured data and the edit mode was still unknown for some reason - this is also a 2nd step
: I suppose what I'm getting at is that this used to be a 2 step process.  Step 1 was putting in the sturctureed data and step 2 was going back to fix any data that was still missing.  I get myself in a different frame of mind if I'm just looking for edit modes and don't have to worry about other structured data.  I work differently when I'm doing step 1 or step 2.  This change that we're discussing seems to have eliminated the 2 step process which makes it harder for me to work in the way I want to work.  Is this any clearer?  If not, happening tonight? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 11:29, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
It seems that step 1 needs to be finished before I can grasp what you are saying about the work flow disruption.  If the ~47 wikis to add are added, then seeing how it affects step two?  I will try to do that today.  call tonight seems to be on track, breathing and everything. [[MarkDilley]]
: I'm not sure that step 1 will ever be finished for long.  We're always going to find new wikis.  I can definitely see that having the structured data (empty) and the add template together can be helpful for step 1.  I have no disagreement there.  Let's talk about it tonight to see if we can find a way to not make step 2 more difficult.  Until tonight! :-) [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 14:00, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

Hah!!
Ted is ever vigilent with spelling, as well as we all are/try to be.  But there is something to leaving mistakes behind for newbies. For example,  I purposefully left the [http://www.wikiindex.com/index.php?title=WikiFeedback&curid=4512&diff=23308&oldid=23280&rcid=24663 spelling error] for someone to fix. Ted got it!  Maybe there is a use in leaving minor errors laying around?  Other wiki bootstrapping ideas?  I love wiki. :-)
:I agree that there is no harm in leaving the occasional minor error lying around for newbies to cut their teeth on. [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] 21:56, 1 June 2006 (EDT)

== Status: Building? ==
What the heck is that? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:38, 11 June 2006 (EDT)
:''It is the folksonomy tag that [[Mike Hammond]] [http://www.wikiindex.com/index.php?title=OoBdoo&oldid=24190 gave the wiki].  I like it because the wiki isn't really active yet, it is in the process of being built.  Maybe there is a better word or words for it, but I really like the idea.''
I didn't know it was possible to have folksonomy in the structured data.  I learn so much from you!  Doesn't it need to now be listed as one of our status categoires? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 13:39, 11 June 2006 (EDT)
:''I can't help to feel you are poking fun at me, surely in a good natured way!  It should be listed in the status category once folks settle with it, but I am not sure folks are settling with it, let's put it on the call tonight to have a chat.''
Not poking fun.  You saw my reaction to "Building".  I changed it to active.  You changed it back and I am seeing now that that's how things evolve with wiki.  We can't, even if we wanted to, control everything and decide in advance how things are going to work.  In some ways it's strange that we have structured data at all.  So far I think this is the first example of a structured data category being created by someone other than "us."  That's pretty cool if we let it happen.  Good stuff.  And sorry that it felt like I was poking fun.  Your radical inclusiveness is somehow not obvious to me, yet it's definitely where I want to go.

It's actually fine to revert while I'm in the middle of this b/c I can just get my version out of history to finish it.
THEN, you can revert for real :-)

== dreams of wiki-indexing / microformats vs [[StructuredData]] ? ==
Bonjour Mark
Currently a long time I've not been here and not a lot of time to make any ''french-synchro-translation''. I'd be interested to have your opinion on the opportunity/way to bridge some Microformats-wiki with the [[StructuredData]] project ? Completely newbie on the subject, but the perspectives seem to be interesting. -- [[Christophe Ducamp]] | &lt;small&gt;[[User talk:ChristopheDucamp|talk]] 07:10, 15 June 2006 (EDT)
== delete template and discussion ==
Mark, thanks for the note.  I definitely agree with you that short conversations, especially about a potential delete, should be on the page itself, rather than the talk page.  My edit was just trying to get you what you were trying to get.  Glad I succeeded! :-) [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 13:11, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

: ''I think that Ray added the first one, I was fine with it.''
I don't have anything invested in that word being there or not.  I just don't think there's any way to make it smaller, short of using html instead of the section headings (===).
Me neither, I was just hoping to make it smaller! ;-)
== Wiki Representatives ==
Hello, I noticed the convo on the welcome talk page, and would like to help (I'm also the person who suggested becoming a directory of websites, not just wikis :P), oh and the admin of [[PSConclave_Wiki]], and would like to be the representative, and possibly help you set up this representative system.

Ok, I see now,  no worries and sorry for my part in it. Best, Mark
== words ==
I have no intention of challenging your use of the word weblog instead of blog.  I am curious why it means so much to you.  You're the only one I know that uses the word weblog and at the same time, the choice of that word seems very important to you, to the point of changing when I write blog into weblog.  I will use the word weblog here (though I use it nowhere else).  No worries.  Just curious.  hugs, [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 00:42, 2 August 2006 (EDT)

:: Sorry, I'm still impatient. :-( [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 13:44, 7 August 2006 (EDT)
Well here it goes, some thoughts on the weblog v blog controversy:  To me, I started out wanting to merge wiki and blog, I created WikiBlog over at [[Meatball Wiki]] - [[SunirShah]] mentioned to me that the word ''blog'' was a horrible word and we should not use it (this is from memory, folks).  I asked him why he thought that and he wrote down a convincing few lines.  I can't find the original words.  But it went a little something like this:  The word ''blog'' is an [http://www.primaryresources.co.uk/english/onomat.htm onomatopoeia], and it sounds gross. By googling for ''blog is an ugly word'' I found these examples to use.  [http://butuki.com/laughing_knees/ugly-word/ It sits heavy in the mouth, confuses everyone, and conjures up images of some wasting disease or putrid creature], and [http://www.elsewhere.org/journal/archives/2004/02/12/blog-is-an-ugly-word/ it’s just a misshapen lump of a word].  I am not a fan of [http://simonworld.mu.nu/archives/037779.php Blog is an ugly word but we're stuck with it.], it is a wiki, we can decide ourselves! ;-)  - I wish to come to agreement to use weblog instead of ''blog'' - we would be being true to the [http://groups.google.com/group/comp.ai/msg/3ef4b796ead09a87?q=weblog&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&scoring=d&as_drrb=b&as_mind=12&as_minm=5&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=31&as_maxm=12&as_maxy=1997&rnum=5 orgin] of both.  It is said that weblog was pulled apart ''we blog'', some people don't like the word wiki, either. I hope this brings up good questions or other ideas.  Best, Mark

Hi, Mark.  After over a year without much activity except for my use of it as whip of the SCC, I've taken down the GPMIWiki.  If there is demand for a new instance, I'll be happy to help, but there's not much point in having it just hanging out there waiting for spammers to abuse it when nobody is interested in using it for its intended purpose.

== idea for signifying that the community is taking care of its page. ==
We have a badge or something, that says, this site is managed or looked after for by the owner of the wiki being mentioned.  This is also applicable for [[AboutUs]].
Also, Ted  you are right, I was rushed and asked it in the notes, not a good idea generally.
The point was, do we want to enforece keeping likes to the front page and recent changes to the structured data?  Best, Mark
==Sitemap==
The php script has to be installed by someone with access to the server directory where the wiki resides, so wiki adminship probably isn't enough, I think you have to have ftp access to the server. [[User:Dryguy|Dryguy]] 18:44, 23 August 2006 (EDT)

(answer to the question on http://projects.wikia.com )
Thank you for asking this question. I mean that 'normal' (or common?) wikis are made to store information. This is not for this (or at least, not only for this): it wants to lead people to activity, or let them organize their activity. This wiki is wiki + activity. --Let's 20:36, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

== Moving pages ==
Thanks for the vote of confidence, by moving [[The Wiki Synergy Project]] to the main space. A technical point for future reference - using the "move" function (a tab at the top if you're using the normal skin) instead of cutting and pasting, has the advantage of transferring the article history, and updating people's watchlists as well.
Thanks --[[User:Singkong2005|Chris Watkins/Singkong2005]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Singkong2005|talk]]</sup></small> 22:37, 23 September 2006 (EDT)
:I just realized you're a sysop... perhaps I could ask you to undo the recent changes and then redo it as a "move"? (I don't have the rollback feature that would be needed, as I'm not a sysop.) That would be very helpful in terms of keeping track of who has contributed what to the page.
:Btw, could you perhaps add a sentence of explanation about [[Wikibooks:Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], on the Wiki Synergy Project page? I'm not clear on how this relates to the project - or what other wiki(s) you think might have synergy with this.

:I think one of the most interesting parts of getting involved in net politics has to be how educational it is...  I've learned about wikis and communities and policy making and on and on. That's for the link. :-)  This feels like a ''big'' issue.  I'll have to spend some time digesting it I think.  (Fun!)

== Sysop-tag ==
Hi Mark,
There's a new [[template:sysop]] that can be used to tag users, which are currently active sysops. I think this will be good, because only sysops have the right to bluck/unblock and if someone feels blocked he needs help. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 06:43, 13 October 2007 (EDT)
:Hi Mark again, if you use the sysop tag, your place the appropriate talk link into your page. Regards --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 03:36, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

Seems to be one of those new kinds of spammers who vandalise (with gibberish) a few times, then link spam a few pages. Probably bears watching. [[User:Nathan|Nathan]] 22:48, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

== Synergy ==
Hi Mark,
Lots of exciting stuff happening at Appropedia - including connecting with new people and groups. I know you like to see synergy happening, so would be happy to fwd/cc an an email. I have good internet for a few days too, so Skype is possible - I'm Chriswaterguy on that system, and to send an electronic letter, it's the same username with the appropedia and the organizational suffix. Would be good to bounce ideas around. --[[User:Singkong2005|Chris Watkins a.k.a. Chriswaterguy]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Singkong2005|talk]]</sup></small> 08:52, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

== [[TransWiki]] ==
Thanks for your interest! Personally, I feel that public transit is a huge part of our society's structure (Even as I write this, a public transit bus has just drove by). Hundreds of cities use public transit systems, all of which have many links, and they all have separate websites. [[TransWiki]] allows us, as a society, to bring together all the information about public transit systems into one site, making it easy to access and to allow people how to use their systems more efficiently. :) - [[User:Enzo Aquarius|Enzo Aquarius]] 18:47, 10 December 2007 (EST)
== Section in "your" list ==
Hi Mark,
I hope you did'nt make it by hand. The Numbering was for the total amount, but sections are no problem to me. Maybe I'll sort/reformat it from time to time. But I hope the list will be done sometimes. Best regards, [[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 17:30, 13 March 2008 (EDT)
==Hey==
Hey Mark, you might like to clear [[:Category:DeletePage|this out]] and yeah try updating to the latest version of [[mw:Download|MediaWiki]] (1.12.0.) which is more stable than the previous version..cheers...--[[User:Comets|Comets]] 13:37, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

Hello, Markdilley. Can the KUW (A german Club about Wikis) make a german version of Wikiindex on Wikia? When yes, than please write on my talkpage on [http://www.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:BobaCartman Wikia]. Thank, you!
