GENERAL DISCUSSION

Whoa! You know there's a preview option, eh?

(Welcome to geohashing).

Yes, whoever you are, I found that. I just ended up clicking save a ton before seeing it.

That was me, forgot to sign. -Robyn 05:20, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

So, do you go around looking for new users or is there an alert system I missed? -Oracle989

When someone edits a page twenty or thirty times in a row it stands out pretty strongly in the list of recent changes. I don't know of a way to be notified of new users per se, but they usually do something to make themselves noticeable. And it's a friendly wiki. -Robyn 05:34, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I see...well, thanks for the welcome! -Oracle989

See, we found you too! Welcome Mighty Oracle. When we started, we didn't use the "Preview" function...and we quickly filled up a hundred lines in the recent changes and drove some of our German friends banannas :o) Glad to see the N36 W79 Graticule is getting more life. Welcome to the fun and hope to see you on a hash soon. -- NCBears 12:00, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

DISCUSSION FOR 5-2-2009 EXPEDITION

I might hit 35-80 this weekend, official Saturday location, at the official time, no promises but it's not ruled out. If you find yourself near that one, perhaps we'll meet. If I'm there, I'll give radio calls every 15 minutes from 3:30 to 4:30. -Oracle989

~~No dice, can't get up anyone else for the expedition, going solo seems like a bit of a waste. -Oracle989~~

Sometimes it is, but you never know. If it's a nice location then it's often fun to go anyway, and you never know if someone's going to show up unannounced. Or just be there without planning to geohash. Welcome to the sport, anyway. -- Benjw 21:43, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps. Well, I'll take the hold off of it, if it happens, great, if not, oh well. My above statement of time and location stands, though it's just a little stand of woods, really. -Oracle989

See how you feel on Saturday afternoon! -- Benjw 21:46, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Categories on wiki pages

You might prefer to do it like this. And use increasing numbers of = marks for smaller subheadings. This also produces a page contents box, once you have at least four headings on the page (or you can prevent that by putting {{NOTOC}} (stands for NO Table Of Contents) at the top of the page.

Or you might not prefer to do it like this -- it's your talk page, after all! :-) -- Benjw 22:03, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
