Download Help
How can I download all the Help pages so that I can install them on a intranet wiki? --Magick 12:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * This feature is not yet available, but we are working on it. --HappyDog 12:47, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Quick Introduction
What about having a quick introduction page that explains what a wiki is, how to edit, and has a description that explains the purpose of the wiki instance. First time users of a wiki may have trouble getting started, or understanding the purpose of the wiki, this could help answer both those questions.

 * I agree - I've been meaning to do this for a while. I won't get round to it for a little while, so if someone wants to step up to the bat then go ahead! --HappyDog 03:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Monobook.css
I want help editing monobook.css. Where can I get? I searched for monobook.css, and I didn't find nothing. Smiddle 15:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Linking out of help
Shouldn't we try to avoid linking to pages that are outside of the help namespace? Or are namespaces like Manual: planned to be in the final export as well?


 * Our current plan for the export process is that any links outside of the Help: namespace (whether on-wiki or interwiki) will be replaced with full URLs to the content at MediaWiki.org. For example, when we automate the export, the link   would be replaced with  .  Therefore any links out of the Help: namespace will continue to work as expected.
 * That said, you should consider whether it would be better to add the information to the Help: namespace (being careful to adhere to the PD license) and if not, whether it is actually useful to link to it at all.
 * So I guess the short answer is: external links are discouraged but not disallowed. Please see Automating help page export for more details. --HappyDog 15:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

FCKEditor installed...
Has anyone been able to import pages with wiki text into a Wiki with the FCKEditor extension installed? It fails to format the wiki text and won't allow for any transclusions.--CWPPWiki 22:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You might want to ask at the Support desk, or is this question related to Help:Contents? -- :Bdk: 13:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
