Hi,

If you have questions about this wiki or how to use it, make your comment here and I'll answer you the best I can. Or email me.

The wiki

I think this wiki can be used to great advantage in organizing and publishing information. Thanks for creating it and for giving me an account. I guessed at the categories. It needs to be refined.

At some point soon, we will have to establish some housekeeping rules to make it stay useful. Wikis tend to quickly fill with junk.

I suggest not creating sections with just one '=' That is the level the article heading, which contains a hidden '='

Thanks for being at the meeting on Friday. Eric gave a very good presentation. I look forward to working with you. Frankst (talk) 18:13, 22 January 2018 (EST)


Thanks. I agree that wikis have to be maintained. I like keeping things clean, and I'm glad to find a kindred spirit. Good point about starting down a level in titles. I'll do that from now on.

WRT housekeeping. Is it something we just chat about? Or should I create a link off the main page for "rules of the wiki" or somesuch? Jschrempp (talk)

Communication

Wikis are an excellent place to communicate. Wikipedia built an encyclopedia that way. Editors have discussions close to the thing they are discussing, such as on the talk page of an article they are discussing. Wikipedia has about 18 namespaces. Storing discussions in the wiki keeps everything together. With email, I have to search through my inbox.

This wiki is being used to create a makerspace, not an encyclopedia, so we will need our own set of rules. We can go over this the next time we see each other.

I was considering creating several navigation sidebars to help tie pages together. As a first step, I started the categories.

I have added my email address to my user page. Frankst (talk) 22:23, 22 January 2018 (EST)

Wiki email not working

I click on preferences, then on the User profile tab, I see my email address. I click on "Confirm your email address," and it takes me to the "Confirm email address" page. I click on "Mail a confirmation code," and it takes me to the "Confirm email address" page, which says, "Confirmation email sent." I check my email, but see nothing.

Has email been configured on the server?

I will watch this spot for your response. Frankst (talk) 11:40, 23 January 2018 (EST)
