MyHome
Hi, how do I disable MyHome for me or a wiki I admin?... Klow 18:29, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * You can disable the redirect from the main page for yourself by going to your preferences -- it's in Misc, at the bottom of the list. You can't disable My Home for your wiki. My Home is a useful feature that really helps new editors a lot -- we've found that it increases the chances of editors coming back and making more edits. Let me know if you have more questions! -- Danny (talk ) 20:08, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tip! But I just hate MyHome, sorry. Klow 21:06, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, that's kind of a shame for the other people on your wiki. I understand that you don't like it, but if it helps other people on the site, then removing it is harmful to your community. -- Danny (talk ) 22:20, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Well it's there, anyone can use it if they are please, I just don't use it personally. I have my old wiki habits. Klow 22:54, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * You added some code to the JS on Half-Life that removed the ability of anyone on your wiki to use My Home. That's bad for the other editors on your wiki. -- Danny (talk ) 22:56, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * I removed it, since I didn't really know what I was doing. Klow 23:07, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, good! I'm glad to hear it. Like I said -- if you want to disable the redirect for yourself, then you can do that in your preferences. Let me know if you have any questions about My Home; I'm happy to help you out. -- Danny (talk ) 23:16, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * I only disabled for myself. And thanks! ;-) Klow 23:18, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Cool, rock on! -- Danny (talk ) 23:21, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey is it possible to have the short link of the wiki to redirect to the main page instead of my home for all users? I see Wookieepedia did it. Klow 20:06, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

The redirect to My Home is an important part of the feature. The redirect only happens for logged-in users who go to the short link, and who don't have the redirect disabled in their preferences. The main page is seen by all anonymous readers, and anyone who follows a link or bookmark to the Main Page.

About 65% of all pageviews on My Home come from the redirect -- that's the first introduction to the feature for new people. Having My Home turned on without the redirect basically means that only experienced users will ever see My Home. That would defeat the purpose of the feature to a large extent -- it's helpful for experienced users, but it's specifically targeted to help new people.

As Kyle said on the Central blog last week, "we believe that these hacks are a bad idea and we may need to disallow them at some point in the future. " That includes interfering with the redirect and the activity feed widget. -- Danny (talk ) 22:54, December 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok well as long as the anons are directed toward the main page, I guess it's ok! Klow 23:17, December 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, absolutely -- My Home is only there for logged-in users. -- Danny (talk ) 23:19, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

hi
Hi Danny, you pinged me on IRC but I wasn't home at the time. If you're available, I am around now. -- 02:12, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi! No problem -- I wanted to ask you about something if you were around, but you weren't, so I figured it out another way. Sorry for the random ping, and thanks for getting back to me! -- Danny (talk ) 05:21, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Rich Text Editor
Hello! I am w:c:bleach: User:WhiteStrike and I wnated to ask you if there was a way to disable the Rich Text Editor for the Bleach Wiki site. It has been causing problems with user edits as it changes template parameters. An example of this can be found in the history of the Episodes page. Is there a way to disable it or at least for it to be disable on certain pages? thank you for your time and hope that this is something that you may be able to help us with. WhiteStrike 02:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've been having similar problems on Muppet Wiki with some complicated templates. As far as I can tell, the RTE isn't actually messing up the pages -- it just changes the way the template looks. I'll talk to someone about this tomorrow, and I'll see if we can come up with a solution that helps. Thanks for asking me about it; I'll get back to you soon! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:20, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Danny thank you so much for your help this was driving me crazy for a while I kept thinking that it was just someone messing with the parameters until I took a long hard look at it and saw that the problem was being caused by the RTE. I'm going with the __NOWYSIWYG__ magic word for the time being I tested it and it seems to work just like you said, I really didn't want to disable the RTE since I kind of figured that many people find it useful. Once again thanks for your time and help. WhiteStrike 23:50, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
