Stan's Introduction
Hi Stan! -- Your Introduction is up on a page! Go to the Main Page to find a link to it! Shollingsworth 13:17, 14 January 2011 (PST)
- Hi Stan! Good to see you editing! I just finished (for now) my article on simple editing. Shollingsworth 15:13, 14 January 2011 (PST)
Something I'd like to start on immediately
I have a request I'd like to start with - a "data" one as opposed to anything at all controversial. I'd like to make a list of - literally - every NPO in Philadelphia (and later the surrounding areas) and then invite each one to contribute to a page on itself.
Is this something I have to ask the Content or Publicity sub-groups' permission to do? Maybe have Publicity send out the e-mails once I get the list built? Shollingsworth 11:56, 15 January 2011 (PST)
Ben's page
Ben G. is now at User talk:BenGreenberg. Shollingsworth 14:20, 15 January 2011 (PST)
Our first template
I made a template and tested it - test successful. Now putting {{help me}} in an article {preferably at the top) will cause that article to be listed in [[Category:Help me]] for administrators to respond to. I'll leave an article with a {{help me}} in it as an example. Shollingsworth 18:05, 15 January 2011 (PST)
Holding places
Hi Stan -- Let me show you a new trick.
You can make "holding places" for articles you're working on by typing in user:Stan/filename and choosing to Edit it.
I created User:Stan/holding for you. You can have any number of these "holding places" of any legitimate name.
- By the way - it was pretty bright of you to pick up on my <nowiki> trick!
- Another thing you can do is to leave "hidden" notes in an article by typing <!-- text --> as here Shollingsworth 00:08, 16 January 2011 (PST)
- Another useful tool is the "Redirect". Make a new page of any name (try using Xyz) and on that page type in #REDIRECT [[Block captain]] and save it. Then type in Xyz in the Search box. You'll be jumped to Block captain. Now type in NTR into the Search box. Shollingsworth 00:13, 16 January 2011 (PST)
The new text editor
Hi Stan,
The new text editor is pretty cool!
By the way - there's a "wikitext" button in the upper left corner so that we can switch back and forth between WYSIWYG and Wikitext views -- all our old tricks still work.
In particular, I can still enter {{help me}} and get a message in Category:Help me SteveH 18:18, 16 January 2011 (EST)
Two new articles are up today, third and possibly more to come
Hi Stan,
I put in the Help Me description under Help - good call!
I just added two pages that a friend sent in. Lisa is writing her page. I've asked two other people to see what they can do. I'm aiming to have a wide variety of things for the Content sub-group to look over and discuss.
This is work, but if we can get really launched next week it will all have been worth it. SteveH 12:12, 23 January 2011 (EST)
Thank you
Thanks so much for your comments, Stan! I really appreciate that. The site is looking really good these days; sending good vibes for your success! Lisa H.
- This meant a lot to Lisa, Stan. Thank you very much. SteveH 23:02, 24 January 2011 (EST)
