My impression of the wiki is quite good. So far, we can let the original home page running, together with the at freezope. I will move most of the stuff from the home page to wiki, as well as from the wiki at freezope. Any failure of this wiki is, therefore, covered. We can switch to this wiki completely in the near future. -- Dan of FreeMind 08:32, 10 Sep 2004 (PDT)

Feel free to discuss the main page here

I have protected the main page so that we have it under control. This does not mean we discouradge users from expressing their opinion on that. Any suggestions we will find useful will be implemented, so to speak. --Danielpolansky 13:48, 10 Sep 2004 (PDT)

Links

Design of the navigation bar

I have made a very simple navigation bar, repeated at every page to which it points. The navigation bar points only to the primary pages. Secondary pages can be reached by following the link "All Pages" at the navigation bar.

Originally, I wanted to change the navigation bar at the very left, but MediaWiki's documentation disclosed that this is only possible by editing the monobook skin's template. As this is not very flexible, I've chosen the other option, although it's not very elegant.

The navigation bar content is located at Template:Navigation_bar. By changing the template, the navigation bar changes in all the pages where it is included. See also help on templates. --Danielpolansky 11:08, 14 Sep 2004 (PDT)


Where is toolbox defined for the wiki

At templates/xhtml_slim.pt, with user rights rw-timan72,r,r.

To redirect old homepage

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=http://your url">

Wiki is very slow

As we can see, the wiki is very slow. At help on file cache, we can read how to make the page retrieval faster. File cache enabled. File cache makes it also easy for us to create a backup of the wiki, as we only need to backup the pages in the file cache.
