A couple of things I'd like
Hi, Ben --- Are the following two things possible?
- Can we put an automatic lock on "personal stories/blogs" so that only the original author or administrators can edit them?
- There is a plugin that I think offers functionality like this. But the problem is that then people can lock any page they create, which can be abused. I wonder if there is a plugin to lock only the user's user page, which then could be used as a blog. Does that make sense? BenGreenberg 12:17, 16 January 2011 (PST)
- Special:CreateTemplate - I'd like to create a template that says {{help me}} which would alert administrators somehow that help was needed on a page. They have that in Wikipedia. I just don't know enough about templates. See Wikipedia "Help Me".
- Shollingsworth 17:05, 15 January 2011 (PST)
- Is it okay for me to try to make the {{help me}} template? I think I see how to do it. I'll probably only have to enter a name, a field entry, and a category for the page to be listed to. (Of course, the Category will probably have to be created too.) Shollingsworth 17:12, 15 January 2011 (PST)
- I'm going to try it. I think it can be done, and then we'll know how to make one kind of Templates. I think I can blank the entries if I have to. Shollingsworth 17:52, 15 January 2011 (PST)
- Test successful. Putting {{help me}} in an article {preferably at the top) will now cause that article to be listed in [[Category:Help me]]. I'll leave an article with a {{help me}} in it as an example. Shollingsworth 18:00, 15 January 2011 (PST)
