Old talk has been moved to User_talk:Joannac/OldTalk

Admin function to Rename/Move a Category?

Do you as an admin have the ability to change the name of a category without having to change it on every page? See the discussion at Category_talk:Expedition_Outcomes#"Failed" Should Be "Thwarted".

User to Block

All requests up to date :) --joannac 20:17, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Please don't send me spammers to block unless they've hit >1 page. There are a few spam networks that keep changing IP addresses, and there's no need to ban an IP if it's never getting used for spam again. --joannac 22:39, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

To-do list

update All Graticules with any stray pages
Map NSW and ~~Victoria~~
Tag images
Fix retro hashes
Clear out Category:Tagged_for_deletion
Fix inconsistent Swedish grats (mainly around Stockholm) -- ekorren's job!
Tag expedition pages properly (Coords reached, Coords not reached, meetup on ..., meetup in ..., retro, failed, etc)
Check all the day pages are well-formed

works. ty! [1]

Two Ideas

1. Could the Achievement List in the nav bar point to the Achievements page instead of the category? It seems a much friendlier entry point for browsing achievements.

Yep, will do this later if I don't forget again >.<

2. Some Wikis have a topic of the week or daily news section on the front page. Can we do that? I'd love to have a venue to bring people's attention to things like Naming conventions and Category:Galleries by topic. It could be used to announce a photo of the month ontest (throughout the month, anyone can add Category:Nominated for April 2009 photo of the month to any photo, then over the next month draw their attention to the gallery thus created and logged in users can vote for their favourite nominees). There are the fanatical few who log in and check Recent Changes often enough to stay on top of things, but for the people who don't it can be a way to get them more into the community. One of the topics could be about not linking to the Main Page until the write up is ready! Another could be working out a process for introducing new achievements. -Robyn 23:14, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Isn't this just a section like the gallery? The news section is just another section, right? Nothing fancy?

And I think creating "photo of the month" gallery shouldn't be too hard *touch wood*. --joannac 20:17, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
