User:Dcljr/Issues

This is some stuff I found that needed work when the wiki was new...

Redlinks

The following pages are linked to as part of the normal user interface of the wiki. They need to be created (I've started to do this) or redirected to other pages (or the corresponding MediaWiki page can be changed to point elsewhere):

• Project:Administrators (MediaWiki:Blockedtext)

  Sufficient for now.

• Project:Copyrights (MediaWiki:Copyrightpage)

  Sufficient for now.

• Project:Help (MediaWiki:Newarticletext)

  Redirected to Help:Contents.

• Project:Policy (MediaWiki:Blockiptext, MediaWiki:Confirmdeletetext)

  Created, but pathetic.

• Project:Protected page (MediaWiki:Protect-text, MediaWiki:Protectedtext, MediaWiki:Protectlogtext)

  Page begun.

• Project:Protected page guidelines (MediaWiki:Protectedpagewarning)

  Redirected to above page.

• Project:Searching (MediaWiki:Searchresulttext)

  Sufficient for now.

• Help:Contents (MediaWiki:Sidebar)

  Respectable beginning.

• Help:Editing (MediaWiki:Edithelppage)

  Created, but pathetic.

• IP address (MediaWiki:Anontalkpagetext — in this case, I recommend that the MediaWiki page be changed)

  Done. Linked to Wikipedia article instead.

Other issues

Other problems I've found (of varying degrees of importance):

• Why using [[internal links]] to bolden title words in first sentences of articles (see, e.g., Counter-apologetics) instead of '''triple-apostrophes'''?
• Search for "fubar" results in following statement (provided by MediaWiki:Nogomatch): There is no page titled ":fubar". (note placement of colon)
• Need to decide what to do with "Help" namespace (see Project talk:Namespaces to discuss).

Resolved

• Is there an interwiki map here? (e.g., how to link to Wikipedia without using "external link" style? [[w:]], [[wikipedia:]] don't work.)

  Begun at Project:Interwiki map.

• Apparently no "root" (top-most) category (suggest Category:Browse or Category:Browse categories?)

  I've created Category:Browse categories.

• Category:Biblical Criticism should be Category:Biblical criticism

  Done.

• Category:Holy Books should be Category:Holy books

  Done.

• Category:Iron Chariots might be better named Category:Iron Chariots Wiki?

  I withdraw my suggestion. Category:Iron Chariots is fine.

• Why are sig timestamps in MST when server time is UTC according to Preferences?

  Now in CDT.

• Would be nice to have redirects show up differently in the results of Special:Allpages and Special:Prefixindex. (Originally requested in Forums.)

  Done.

• Category:The Bible is the only category starting with "The" (maybe okay in this case)

  Okay, I've finally changed this; it was really annoying me....

• The Firefighter (Way of the Master Episode) should probably be The Firefighter (Way of the Master episode), or maybe just The Firefighter (Way of the Master) (likewise on the other The Way of the Master episode pages)

  Changed.

• Why both Category:Atheists and Category:Famous atheists?

  Removed latter category and moved articles/links to former.
