Template talk:Hubs

How about centering this template so it looks like this:

Users

System Administrators

Developers

Also, there is a proposal here to add a Contents link to the beginning of the template which would return a browser to Manual:Contents which is probably useful. --Cneubauer 01:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

If you want to center it then use {{Hubs|center}}. E.g.

Users

System Administrators

Developers

Actually - I've just realised that's broken. I will fix it - hopefully by the time you read this.

Re: your other point, a link to manual:contents is inappropriate here as the hubs are not 'part of the manual' but separate to it. They give a starting point to each type of MW user, to lead them to appropriate information. Some of that information is in the manual, some is not. --HappyDog 01:39, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, why aren't the hubs in the manual? --Cneubauer 12:06, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

The manual aims to be a complete technical reference for the software, whereas the hubs are community portals for this website. At the moments the hubs mainly contain links into the manual, but the aim is ultimately to make them more community orientated, e.g. 'tip of the day', 'top 5 FAQs', links to external sources of help, bulletin boards (e.g. admin page would include release news), etc. If the manual was bundled up and printed, the hubs would not be part of it. --HappyDog 22:04, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

But if the hubs are not to contain audience specific manual subsections, what is? manual:contents in my mind is not fulfilling this role at all. --Diploid 14:07, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

If Manual:Contents is not doing its job properly then it needs fixing, however it has a different purpose to the hubs and should be kept separate. I have reverted your change, as in my opinion it is just interface bloat. --HappyDog 17:15, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

System Administrators vs Administrators

Any objections to changing the template to say just "Administrators"? --Cneubauer 14:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes. 'Administrators' is ambiguous - does it mean system administrator, or wiki administrator? 'System Administrators' is used deliberately. --HappyDog 13:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
