The newsgroups are still '''THE''' place to ask question and chat about current events.--[[User:Jka|Jka]] 08:28, 23 November 2007 (CET) | The newsgroups are still '''THE''' place to ask question and chat about current events.--[[User:Jka|Jka]] 08:28, 23 November 2007 (CET) | ||

===Common Editing Mistakes=== | |||
Something to watch for (and maybe warn against): I had occasion last night to move an article ([[Add Workspace Parameter]]) by [[User:Peter Brooks|Peter Brooks]] which he had put on the [[:Category:How To]] page; I moved it off onto its own page, but it is an easy mistake to make: just go to a Category and start editing. --[[User:Mikepeat|Mike]] 11:01, 5 December 2007 (CET) | |||

= Layout / Main Page = | |||
I'm sure you've all noticed by now I've made a bit of a change to the front page. It's more or less the same as before, just with a bit more information for users who are a bit new to the whole wiki thing. What do you guys think? [[User:Hellboy1975|Hellboy1975]] 05:21, 5 December 2007 (CET) | |||
:Looks good Matt... you might consider mentioning [[Special:Categories]] in addition to the [[Category Index]], and maybe adding the [[Category Index]] to the "navigation" pane (edit [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]). ...And be careful who you say doesn't bite: '''''I''''' haven't had any coffee yet!

:I think we probably need a single person (oops: that would be you... ''sucker!'' You have only yourself to blame!) to head-up work on structure, accessibility, cross-indexing and the like. We have made a big step forward with Categories, giving us the three tools you mention: Structure, Search and Categories... ''now'' let's talk '''''namespaces!''''' | |||
::Given that [[User:Hellboy1975|Matt]] has proclaimed himself 'category enforcer' - then I think he could lead the overall structure on the wiki ;) --[[User:Jka|Jka]] 11:45, 5 December 2007 (CET) | |||
:::That's fine, I'm happy to take on the roll of structuring the site for now. My first goal is to make the main page a bit more accessable, and then each of the main categories (Web, Windows, Character Mode, DD's and Development Tools). I guess my plan with these pages at the moment is to make the more structures, in much the same way as the Main Page on Wikipedia [[User:Hellboy1975|Hellboy1975]] 00:25, 6 December 2007 (CET) | |||
::::Take a look at [[Main_Page_1]] for a preview [[User:Hellboy1975|Hellboy1975]] 01:53, 6 December 2007 (CET) | |||
:::::Like it Matt! ''Very'' nice. Keep up the good work! --[[User:Mikepeat|Mike]] 09:54, 6 December 2007 (CET) | |||
:::::Awesome effort :) You rock --[[User:Jka|Jka]] 10:06, 6 December 2007 (CET) | |||
:::::So... when are you going to make that live? I can't believe anybody is going to think we should ''not'' go with it... it is just a question of fleshing out some of those "wanted" links first IMO. --[[User:Mikepeat|Mike]] 10:22, 6 December 2007 (CET) | |||
::::::Still got a couple of little things I want to do, mainly including some more info from the original main page. All things going well sometime tomorrow or over the weekend. [[User:Hellboy1975|Hellboy1975]] 13:08, 6 December 2007 (CET) | |||
:Main page change is now up, and am working on the Portal pages. Feedback/suggestions on the main page always appreciated. [[User:Hellboy1975|Hellboy1975]] 12:04, 9 December 2007 (CET) | |||
::Hey! And now all the Portals are extant! Well done Matt - a fine piece of work. I feel I just don't have to think about structure any more, 'cos you've got it covered. --[[User:Mikepeat|Mike]] 01:01, 11 December 2007 (CET) | |||
::I like the new approach you have taken with the new "portals" - now it is more clear that they can act as "approaches" to going into vdfwiki.com with different mindsets. Given time - and more content on vdfwiki.com I think this will be a very effective way of handling the structure on this site. --[[User:Jka|Jka]] 20:46, 13 December 2007 (CET) | |||
