Upcoming events
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. /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.
- I'll come back to this after the Terp show and maybe play with it then. /blahedo (t) 18:45, 12 May 2007 (CDT)
People policy
I like it. You should consider putting a link to Don Blaheda's useful page (http://thewikifire.org/index.php?title=User:Blahedo/Policy_on_people) near the libel section. (The previous unsigned comment was posted 20:28, 13 May 2007 by User:Ocarina.)
- I was hoping to edit it, or at least get some comments on it, before it went live. 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. /blahedo (t) 02:39, 14 May 2007 (CDT)
- Actually, just looked at all the policy pages, and I feel better that all that is in place, even if it will evolve over time. 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. /blahedo (t) 02:57, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

Hey. Front page looks good. I'm down with going public. --FlyingBridge 11:43, 14 May 2007 (CDT)
Templates
How do I find out what templates are available on WikiFire? 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? GreatHeights 14:46, 16 May 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. 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. 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. GreatHeights 15:21, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
oops, sorry dude. That wasn't me who wrote that about the eco house though
J-Wags' photo
