Hmm... Maybe you should protect Image:Wiki.png? – Jello 15:28, 31 Jan 2005 (PST)


 * Since this is just a scratchpad, I think it's ok for people to change the logo. If it starts getting vandalised, I'll protect it. Angela 19:17, 31 Jan 2005 (PST)

the Digital Worlds gang
You've moved Pippa Mitchell to User:Pippa Mitchell when his username appears to be Cmcd, based on the fact that he started editing his page under that name. The user Pippa Mitchell is not in the userlist.


 * Usually pages on contributors go in the user namespace. Angela 23:02, 1 Feb 2005 (PST)

Also, and this may be shocking and frightening (cover young childrens eyes now) but the page has been fully duplicated at Digital Worlds:Pippa Mitchell, not good for the Page History. I ask this: Delete Digital Worlds:Pippa Mitchell and move User:Pippa Mitchell there to move the history. Then, I guess you could redirect User:Cmcd there.


 * Fixed. Angela 23:02, 1 Feb 2005 (PST)

Unless, of course, it's deemed pointless to move the history as it was just one guy continually editing his page, so his user page is moved to the right location and turned into a redirect. Actually I think I'll do that now, but this post will tell you why I did it, so it's still useful.


 * I deleted some of the extra redirects since there were broken ones and pages in the wrong namespaces. Angela 23:02, 1 Feb 2005 (PST)

It just seems like he doesn't understand how things work. Could we get some kind of page on that, "Why to register" and "Don't just leave your Home with the prefix of your projectname, keep all pages under that name" (the rule doesn't exist, it's just that way in the example, i suppose since it confused one person it could confuse anyone) so that people could avoid mistakes like this and have a "more efficient" wiki use? I try to avoid making new pages on policy because I'm not running the wiki and such... Thanks --Me at work 17:27, 1 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * RAWR! I hate when I do something so stupid.  Now I see Chris McDowell, and "Cmcd?  Oh, Chris MCDowell".  Now that I've moved the user page to the appropriate page (cmcd did an awful lot of edits to a page not about himself, even stated that it was himself in the page) I find out it's wrong.  The even bigger delimma is, what will Pippa Mitchell choose as his username?  Will he ever choose one?  It's rather confusing now.  I ask your advice now that I've made the mistake of moving User:Pippa Mitchell to User:Cmcd and User_talk:IPaddy to User_talk:Cmcd.  Where do you put a user page for a user who doesn't exist, and may never exist, which wasn't originally even written to be a user page but a subpage of the project?  Continue on the "Delete Digital Worlds:Pippa Mitchell and move User:Cmcd there" plan?


 * Apologies for making a confusing subject worse :( --Me at work 17:34, 1 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * I think it looks fixed now. Angela 23:02, 1 Feb 2005 (PST)

System Messages
I list some messages and their replacements. The idea is that this wiki will never really have "Community Portal" or "Current Events" but would be better with replacements. I'm thinking along the line of making the Community Portal text read "Mini Wiki List" and link to Mini wikis. I don't know what to put for current events, maybe some kind of timeline to keep track of how many mini wikis there are over time?

Just ideas. --Me at work 15:48, 2 Feb 2005 (PST)

Thanks for the admin privledges. I don't use them much (as you probably know), but it's good to have just in case. Let me know, if there's anything specific I can do to help out. --CocoaZen 19:46, 17 Feb 2005 (GMT) P.S.  I like the scratchpad image on your user page!
