== interwiki map == |
|||
I think it should be kept 'small' the map... too many inter-wikis and we'll probably no use them. Also adding specific olpc related wikis (like Nepal's, Tuquito, or similar) should be added. 2cts --[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 11:32, 19 June 2007 (EDT) |

== extensions == |
|||
parser extensions (or rather the ability to do 'if') in some templates would probably simplify and enhance the use of it. Possible collateral damage is making it to cryptic. --[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 11:32, 19 June 2007 (EDT) |

== language == |
|||
I saw in the special pages, the [[Special:Withoutinterwiki]] (labeled 'Pages without language links'). I tried a bit but couldn't get it to work... --[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 11:32, 19 June 2007 (EDT) |

== Shiki_Wiki link colors == |
|||
The [http://olpcaustria.org/mediawiki/index.php/Shiki_Wiki Shiki_Wiki] skin, now the default, currently shows "seen" links as gray. |
|||
This makes them very hard to scan for, as they blend in with the black text. The blue "unseen" links are ok, |
|||
but once you have seen an article, its links disappear. Since link following is currently our main navigational |
|||
technique, especially with Search being broken, this seems a ''very bad thing''. Why are we using a non-standard |
|||
link color anyway? Visual design should make the user experience easier and more pleasant, not cognitively harder. |
|||
I strongly suggest reverting to browser link coloring. |

|||
You also now can't tell, based on link color, whether a discussion page exists or not. So you have to hover the mouse, and look to see if the url ends in edit. (observation by Xavi) [[User:MitchellNCharity|MitchellNCharity]] 15:43, 2 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
: This shows up clearly on my monitors -- the gray vs blue for links and the gray vs white for existing vs empty talk pages. talk to the creator to get the colors changed! you can change your own back to monobook, of course, but better to get the skin fixed....

::I think that the "Sugar" skin shouldn't be the default. I see it as a novelty thing, with no other reason for being: while there are reasons for the current Sugar look on the XO's (the dual-screen, power, and other design constrains), these don't apply to a collaborative wiki on the web. It also has some rendering issues with Konqueror. [[User:HoboPrimate|HoboPrimate]] 17:38, 2 August 2007 (EDT) But I don't want to bring down the effort of the person who did it, it's nicely emulates Sugar's look.
