User talk:Energybender

Welcome
Welcome, Energybender, to Community Central!

We are a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, use the Community Portal or Help Desk. For finding a helper or a staff, speaking your language, see the page Staff and Helpers by language. If your wiki needs something done, leave the details on the Volunteer Portal. If you need assistance from a member of staff, leave a message with one of the Community Team.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please let us know! Check out new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to and to help revert spam and vandalism.

Enjoy! --Charitwo  Talk  21:53, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Earlier/Later vs. Next/Previous
Energybender, the names of these links have been changed in the core MediaWiki software for awhile now, on most history-style pages; I think a few straggling pages were updated as well in our most recent upgrade. Their usability tests showed it was much more understandable for most editors. If it really bothers you, like everything else in the MediaWiki interface it can be changed by the admins on an individual wiki, by finding and editing the appropriate text on Special:Allmessages, but it's probably better if all the wikis are consistent on this sort of interface. Does that answer your question? — Catherine (talk) 19:51, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
