Ooh, [[Disassembly draft]] looks way better now. I'm going to port the pages over first thing when I go to the office (leaving now). See you soon, perhaps? [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 12:25, 1 June 2008 (EDT)

== Please use preview ==

Francesca, if you are going to be making a lot of edits to the wiki (and I certainly hope you will be), it would be a good idea to get into the habit of using the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Show_preview Show Preview feature] to avoid flooding the [[Special:Recentchanges]] history. Some of us who actively watch out for wiki vandalism find the Recent Changes page an important tool to review wiki activity and many sequential edits by one user on one page makes it less useful. Wikipedians apparently feel strongly enough about this that they have created a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Preview user notification template] just to encourage folks to try to group sequential edits of the same page into a single edit history line and while this isn't Wikipedia, some of the cultural norms from over there apply to pretty much any wiki. Thanks, and I'll see you around the wiki. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 19:29, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

== Unneeded alt text for (some) semantic annotation text ==

Hello there, I notice in [[Property:Source code]] you did
<nowiki>This is a property of type [[Has type::URL|URL]].</nowiki>
but you need only write
<nowiki>This is a property of type [[Has type::URL]].</nowiki>

The Semantic MediaWiki extension parses the property annotation before the '''::''' (''Has type'' in this case) but hides it and the colons from display. Cheers. -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 19:53, 25 July 2008 (UTC) (I assiste SMW extension development, check out [[Special:Version]] ;-) )
