New settings
You are adding new pages in the manual namespace about configuration settings like Manual:$wgImportTargetNamespace, Manual:$wgExportMaxHistory, etc; but please also add them to Manual:Configuration settings and Manual:Configuration settings (alphabetical). Thanks, SPQRobin 21:38, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It's what I'm doing, I'm editing Manual:Configuration settings at the moment and adding in it new settings each time I create one, I'll save it when I'll finish. i Alex  21:41, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok (I have just edited that page, I don't know if you'll have any problems) SPQRobin 21:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I added that one in a other section named 'Special pages' that I just created, maybe Localization section is better. i Alex  21:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank You!
Thank you for all your fantastic work on tidying, categorising and checking all the MediaWiki configuration settings. I fell way behind in my self-appointed task of checking the version numbers and filling in the gaps (I got up to about 1.5.0), and it's great to have someone inspire me to carry on and finish the job (although I suspect that you've already covered a lot of the work I planned to do... in which case thank you again!!). I just wanted to let you know that all your hard work is really appreciated. --HappyDog 20:32, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but I thinks this is not finished, I only did the new settings for 1.7 (not 1.6), and deprecated settings up to the version 1.4. i Alex  20:42, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I've been working from v1.1.0 upwards and have added details about all modifications, additions and deletions up to 1.6.0, which I'm working on at the moment, and which I've done everything except for about 25 settings that aren't on the wiki yet (i.e. all the changes for settings that were already on the wiki have been documented), so you don't need to worry about any versions lower than that. --HappyDog 00:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Your deleting my image before I was even done was the last straw for me. I'm quitting wiki
From User talk:CAlan Wikis are getting just too darn hard and too darn legalistic for average users like me to use anymore. What you just did to me is a perfect example of this For example -- I'm trying to set up a album page for a singer I like (Michelle Shocked). I see that -- all over -- people are uploading small images of the covers. Fine -- so I tried to EXACTLY COPY what others have done and while I'm uploading, my image gets deleted before I'm even done! Probably I violated some sort of copyright for about fifteen seconds as I was uploading it. That's just too much! At least let me create the file and rationalize it's use before deleting it! Cripes. I give up.
 * ''This wiki is only about the MediaWiki software, if you want to create an article about a singer you like, you can create it on Wikipedia, not here, see About this site. iAlex 16:08, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

''
 * I WAS creating it on Wikipedia (until I gave up.) I was posting the cover here in Wikimedia because I saw that a another album cover said "powered by Wikimedia."
 * OK, I got it wrong. Obvisously.
 * What was so frustrating was you deleting my image WHILE I WAS STILL WORKING ON IT. This kind of heavy handed policing is all over the wikis and, I suspect, will be the end of the golden age of wikis. At least it is for me. The way you dealt with me is the so typical in the wikis and I'm giving up on contributing to wikis. Bye.

Thanks
… for quick handling of Kaganer's request on my talk page :-) And a late "welcome aboard"! -- :Bdk: 22:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Importer les historiques des pages m:Help:Inputbox et m:Help talk:Inputbox
Salut IAlex,

Les pages Extension:Inputbox (hist) et Extension talk:Inputbox (hist) n'ont pas été correctement importées : ce sont des copier-coller des pages m:Help:Inputbox (hist) et m:Help talk:Inputbox (hist). Pourrais-tu importer leurs historiques ? Merci d'avance, Korg 18:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Fait pour l'extension, en revanche la page de discussion et son historique sont trop grand pour être importé, j'ai laissé une note sur la page de meta à ce propos. i Alex  20:49, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merci ! Je serais curieux de connaître la cause de l'erreur lors de l'importation ; le nombre de révisions et la taille de la page (ou de sa dernière version) ne semblant pas poser de problème, est-ce la somme de la taille de chaque révision qui est prise en compte ?
 * Autre chose, est-ce qu'il existe une page pour demander d'importer une page, ou faut-il simplement s'adresser à un administrateur ? Merci encore, Korg 01:05, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ça me met que "le fichier n'a pas pu être ouvert" (la fonction import utilise Special:Export de meta et ouvre ce fichier pour l'importer en faisant une requête http si je ne me trompe pas). Le texte complet de chaque révision est sauvé dans ce fichier ce qui fait qu'il peut vite devenir très grand, mais il également possible de n'importer que la dernière version sans l'historique complet.
 * Sinon pour les demandes d'import, je crois qu'il n'y a pas de page pour les requêtes aux admins ici donc il faut demander à un admin. i Alex  11:45, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merci pour ces précisions. Korg 15:56, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

OnWikimedia
I didn't use the old category because it lacks capital in Wikimedia, So I intended to delete it and use another correct one, What do you think?--41.232.105.209 09:27, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, don't forget the subcategories. i Alex  10:34, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Milipedia
Hey don't revert my edits because I only invited people to the Milipedia a website that is abandoned for all these years. Also leave my talkpage and edits alone because the talkpage is mine not yours. 76.247.222.101 21:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You can add your site in Sites using MediaWiki if it's not already done, but imagine if evry site who wants to have more users come here and add link in user talk pages, it'll be a mess, this is not the purpose of this site. Also the talkpage is mine not yours : this site does not belong to you. i Alex  21:31, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Project:Support desk/Support team
Hello I have noticed that you have begun helping out at the support desk, any interest in joining the ? -PatPeter,  MediaWiki Support Team  15:23, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Did you get this message? -PatPeter, [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] MediaWiki Support Team  23:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I think I won't join it, sorry. i Alex  10:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Extension:Configure
Very nice work on this! I haven't tested it out yet, but I noticed a $wgGroupPermissions editor was on your to-do list, so I just want to point you to Extension:GroupPermissions Manager for some code you can look at so you don't have to do it all from scratch. Best of luck! --Skizzerz talk - contribs 00:13, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, i'll look at it. But don't you want to add it in SVN ? <font color="#66A7CC">i <font color="#9966CC">Alex  20:31, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
