Project talk:About

suggested wiki ideas
As suggested, just come from project|current (syntax?) issues on this page, and supporting the idea that there be more usage suggestions. If more experienced editors want to paste links to, say, half a dozen suggested usages, then I would be happy to draft an overview --User:Avaiki 20070410

add contact info
Add how to get contact mediawiki.org by email, to e.g. mention that mediawiki makes invalid xhtml: http://zh.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:%E6%96%B0%E9%97%BB%E6%8A%95%E7%A8%BF has one href= without quotes. Use href="...". --User:Jidanni 2006-07-27


 * Hello Jidanni, I've looked at it; you mean for example the following line at the bottom of this page:
 * 版权信息
 * I'll tell our devs about this case (see bug 6829). In general, please see Communication. Such things could be reported on MediaZilla/Bugzilla, or on IRC #wikimedia-tech, because it's not a MediaWiki specific problem, but a Wikimedia specific one afaik.

Unclear/slang use
The first line of the first paragraph following the TOC currently reads: "MediaWiki.org, what is domain and site name at the same time, has only one topic: the homonymous wiki engine MediaWiki." The section between the first and second commas seems unecessary as well as rather cryptic. I'd remove it myself but the page is locked. -Jarsyl 09:58, 23 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Done. --HappyDog 16:31, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Work in progress sentence
"All the content still is and, of course, will be work in progress." There should probaably be an "a" between "be" and "work". --Brian 08:51, 23 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Not necessarily. "It is work in progress" or "It is a work in progress" - either is fine, and I personally prefer the former. --HappyDog 16:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Link correction
In "You can also install wiki software on your server;"(in the "what MediaWiki is not" section) the link should be changed to this wiki at Manual:Installation--Brian 03:10, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Blocking Policy
Where is the blocking policy? Every site needs one to let users know why admins can block people.(76.247.222.101 13:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC))
 * common sense is generally enough for small sites: you will be blocked if you disrupt the sites operation. A written policy is imho only needed if some major disagreement arises, and needs to be sorted out. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 10:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Q
Do we really want to use the word homonymous in this? --BozMo 09:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Protection
I realize this is a high-visibility page, but couldn't it be semi-protected instead of fully protected? —Emufarmers(T 08:59, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've lowered the protection here because this is a high profile page, and therefore, people should be able to edit it in the spirit of the wiki. &mdash; Anonymous Dissident  Talk 09:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
