| − | We have various templates ({{TemplateLink|ComingSoon}}, {{TemplateLink|ParkingLot}}, {{TemplateLink|ForSale}}, {{TemplateLink|PossibleSpamSite}}, etc.) for this sort of thing. It's not a big issue really but it can add to the informativeness (is that a word?) of the [[DomainPage]]. [[User:KristinaWeis|KristinaWeis]] | [[User talk:KristinaWeis|**talk**]] 16:46, 4 October 2007 (PDT) (p.s. I used to work for the [[Clark.edu|Clark]] paper as a copy editor back in the day.)

| − | == WikiMan232 ==
| |
| − | [[User:WikiMan232]] is an interesting one, for sure. I'm not sure exactly what to do with him. We are now a casespace insensitive wiki so [[WikiLink]], [[wikilink]] and [[wiki Link]] all work, and go to the same page, so if he feels it's better to have a space, I don't necessarily see a problem, even with a less-than-friendly edit summary. On the other hand, if you see edits that are [[unconstructive]], please feel free to keep doing what you've been doing, and undoing those edits. You might also want to use an edit summary that explains, like [[RevertTest]] or the like. A list of these that we have so far is here: [[Glossary]]. Hope this [[help]]s! peace, [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 21:46, 5 October 2007 (PDT)

| − | ==Yay for [[WelcomingPeople]]==
| |
| − | I was happy to see you joining the very elite club of [[:Category:AboutUs Welcomer|welcomers]]! It's kind of my specialty/favorite thing to do, so let me know if you have any questions. [[WelcomingPeopleIdeas]] has a lot of, well, ideas on the topic. [[User:KristinaWeis|KristinaWeis]] | [[User talk:KristinaWeis|**talk**]] 02:56, 6 October 2007 (PDT)

| − | :I actually have a leaning towards non-template welcomes because I like to do what I can to personalize them. But um, [[Template:Welcome]] is the only template one that I know of. My personal one that I copy and paste from and tweak (which this template was largely borrowed from) resides at [[User:KristinaWeis/Welcome3]] and most everyone else makes up their own shorter ones individually for each welcome they do. I'd recommend checking out how others are welcoming on [[WelcomingPeople Log]] (just tab out some of the [[TalkPage]]s) and create your own variation that works for you.

| − | :: I need to dig up our conversation on this. We've tended not to simply drop {{TemplateLink|Welcome}} on talk pages, instead going for a more personalized cut/paste version, where we put in the person's first name, if we have it, and a link to the [[DomainPage]] they've been editing. Wish I could remember where we discussed this. [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 08:57, 8 October 2007 (PDT)

| − | == Bot ==
| |
| − | The Development team has a couple of bots that are doing that right now, until they are totally finished those tasks, I have my bot doing other things. When they are done that, we can come up with some ideas to get the rest of the pages. --[[User:Simon Koldyk|Simon]] | <small>[[User talk:Simon Koldyk|talk]]</small> 17:20, 6 October 2007 (PDT)

| − | By the way, Ray got me interested in go last year, and I've been playing like crazy. I'm still pretty awful, but it's fun to see all your go links together and the Go Congress next summer. I'll have to see if I can be in Portland that week. [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 15:29, 7 October 2007 (PDT)

Thank you very much for the feedback you gave me in the audit. I was aware of the text on the landing page and will work on that immediately. This is a great service and should really help me.
