User talk:Me at work

Thanks for the work you did starting off the categories. I got round to finishing it yesterday so now all wikis are classified at least by language, and in many cases by topic as well. Angela 23:14, 28 Jan 2005 (PST)
 * Nice, hopefully it'll become more useful in the future with the possibility of integrating a category into the wikis which are in it. As in, like the 'navigation' or 'search' portlet, one could have a 'similar cities' portlet which shows all things in that cat.  If the things in two cats (lang is not a featured cat, too broad) then it would have something similar to this (Using mozillawiki as example although its only in computers & English, so using a few eng cats).  Note: I cant use ahref for some reason as I was doing the exact code, so i am using wikilinks, as well as some wikicode to make it easier.


 * I haven't yet decided if it's better to restate the link twice for both cats or what. An option somewhere to make it use those little clickable arrows which make it 'expand' similar to in Recentchanges would be nice.

Similar Wikicities
 * English
 * Nintendo
 * Novelas
 * Computing
 * Active Worlds
 * Doom Wiki
 * VirusInfo


 * It's a mere example of how it'd look, but I think you'd dig it. --Me at work 10:15, 29 Jan 2005 (PST)


 * That's a great idea. I love it! If there was an option to expand it rather than having to see them all, then I think showing a wiki in more than one category would be fine. Angela 16:46, 29 Jan 2005 (PST)


 * Which is why I said the following (don't know if you saw it, seems like you didn't)
 * An option somewhere to make it use those little clickable arrows which make it 'expand' similar to in Recentchanges would be nice.
 * If you did and didn't get what i meant, go to your prefs, recent changes and stub display, and check "Enhanced recent changes (not for all browsers)". This does what I was talking about, in the recent changes area.  It's what I use.  Making an option similar to that to apply to the "Similar Wikis" box would be perfect. --Me at work 19:54, 29 Jan 2005 (PST)
 * Yes, I did get it. I just meant that a wiki should only be in more than one category if those arrows are included. Angela 06:42, 30 Jan 2005 (PST)
 * Ah, point taken. I thought it wouldn't be too much of a hassle to get the arrow bit coded in (copy paste from recentchanges, modify a bit).  Actually I think it'd be a bit harder to hide the "duplicates" than to code in the arrows, as it'd have to check if it was said already for all but the first cat, causing lag and such. --Me at work 11:06, 30 Jan 2005 (PST)

Talk Page Archiving
Please do not attempt to archive my talk page by moving it. It has an annoying effect on people's watchlists when end up with archives they never chose to watch on there. Angela 23:10, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * Sorry, I have never archived a talk page before. I thought it best that the entire history of the page be preserved, as what if someone had sneakily edited someone elses post and it was never caught or whatever?  I know it's unlikely but I like the ability to be able to trace back, similar to archiving a VfD to make sure everyone didn't vote twice or whatever.  Sorry again, is there some kind of instructional page on "How to archive a talk page" somewhere?  I didn't really look then or now, so there might be, but I was already making this edit. --Me at work 09:53, 5 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * It's a matter of personal preference really. I think it's more useful to have all of the history in one place, not split between different archives. This allows you to fetch the whole thing through Special:Export. There's a new page on this at Help:Archive. Angela 17:48, 5 Feb 2005 (PST)
