presentations

Hi Femslade, Add a vague netry to XO roadshows, and send around an email pointing to it and asking if anyone's going to be in town in order to help organize a {tea, &c}. --Sj talk 15:13, 21 March 2008 (EDT)

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? 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 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 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. 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

 This is a property of type [[Has type::URL|URL]].

but you need only write

 This is a property of type [[Has type::URL]].

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