| + | I go around deleting peoples accounts, and acting like an asshole even though I graduated over four years ago, and should have moved on with my life. Too bad it must be a really shitty one. |

| − | Tom - I think you might want to consider changing the "Jesus Fucking Christ" heading on Sue Hulett's page to "Jesus F. Christ" or "Jesus F**king Christ" or something along those lines. I thought the TKS headline was totally fine and I'm not a huge Hulett fan, but having a phrase that she objects to as the largest item on her page seems unnecessarily antagonistic; it seems unwise bringing the wrath of Hulett down on the wikifire if it can be avoided.

| − | Was there something wrong with putting an upcoming events table on the front page? You deleted it without comment, so I'm not sure what the objection was. /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 17:45, 12 May 2007 (CDT)

| − | :Three columns is definitely not going to work; it's just too busy. What do you want the front page to be? I'm thinking that a lot of that stuff will be primarily of interest to people who've never wikied before (or perhaps just new to TWF), and they could be well-served with a prominent link "New to TheWikiFire? Click here!". That leaves more room for changing content (events, votes) and the useful links section.

If you like it (and this is a pretty general "you" here, I just don't want to be all unilateral about it), it should be moved out of my sandbox to [[Policy on people]] before being linked from elsewhere. /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 02:39, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

On the About page, though, A) do you really want to state your TKS affiliation in an official capacity?, and B) you should probably link your User:-space page rather than the TWF article about you. /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 02:57, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

I tried to use a propose merge template, but it didn't work, and I noticed that for disambiguation I needed to use "disambig" instead of the full word. Is there a list somewhere on the site?

| − | Hey man, I saw you made a deletion template. Awesome. Where can I go to learn how to make templates? It seems like its a combination of HTML and some markup I'm not familier with. I'd like to play around with it. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 12:10, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Ha! Yeah, I guess that'd be the place to look wouldn't it. Isn't there a specific Wiki that's kind of a "how to Wiki" Wiki? [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 12:22, 12 June 2007 (CDT)

| − | == Deletions ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | So, I've been poking around on WikiMedia, learning more about Wikis in general. It seemed like the whole Fag/Faggot page issue would be a good test case to sort out TheWikiFire's conventions for deletion--ie What kind of pages can be deleted without discussion, how long discussion should be allowed to procede before action is taken, etc. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:12, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sounds good to me. Do we want to use Wikipedia's guidelines for how long to allow discussion on a page proposed for deletion as a starting point? Or do we just want to start from scratch? BTW, I'm working on getting up some templates for things like proposing deletion, merger, etc. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:20, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, are you thinking that, regarding the specific pages in question that we should go ahead and delete them without discussion? I'm personally not opposed to that. I just wanted to make sure that some sort of discussion regarding deletion got started. [[User:GreatHeights|GreatHeights]] 15:21, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

| − | It's o.k. ...really. This is in no way libelous. It is a useful graphic illustration of the contraversy. Wiki fire should not be in the buisness of deciding what is and is not 'suitable' . More precisely, *you* should not be in that buisness. This is a democratic space -- at the very least, give some time and discussion before making hegemonic decisions. Or, better, we can just let the fucking FCC make the decisions for us.

| − | I moved the risks to the top, but other than that it seems ok (I didn't proof it closely, though). If the demand for the service gets strong enough, then we'll have to tell the computer center to provide more processor power, eh? (Leibniz is actually the server for math and CS, and not administered by the folks in the computer center—did you think they'd administer a Linux system?) /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 22:14, 26 May 2007 (CDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Heh. Well, I suspect that usage will continue to be CS and math folks plus a few others like yourself, in which case, no problem. But if it ''does'' extend to a huge chunk of the student population, then we have prima facie evidence that there is high demand for this service—and can then push for a dedicated server for that sort of thing. I wouldn't worry about it too much, certainly not to the extent of hiding the instructions for it. Information wants to be free!, or so I'm told. /[[User:Blahedo|blahedo]] ([[User talk:Blahedo|t]]) 13:27, 27 May 2007 (CDT)

| − | == Moving articles to other/new categories ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The layout of the site is still a bit confusing to me; unfortunately I have a rather poor grasp of editing with Wikipedia. I am interested in putting Japanese Club under Categories > Clubs (since it is not currently listed there). Are users allowed to move their topics into categories, or is that under the control of the editor? If I can't do it myself, should I just message the editor every time I need an article moved? Thanks.
