There is no status. If you are here because some guy in IRC pissed you off, or you are protesting a block, please consider that the universe does not revolve around you.

Distributeapedia

Pretty much everything I wanted to do weith this will be handled in time with the electronic distribution of the print version ... and my time ran out, so the only part remaining that I'd like to do is a lightweight on demand linkbot. Again, time permitting.

Review and consensus

Use these resources to get a community consensus on an article:

1. Peer review (WP:PR)- currently underutilized but still very useful
2. WikiProject Fact and Reference Check (WP:FACT) - it needs a certain level of correctness
3. Forum for Encyclopedic Standards (WP:FES)- it needs to be an encyclopedia article
4. Featured article candidates (WP:FAC)- which allows articles to become featured (WP:FA)- or that they are the best articles on Wikipedia.

Dev workflow

The core mediawiki devs generally use test machines at home for anything substantial. I'm usually working on scripts related to bulk batch jobs and I do that directly on the main production servers, though sometimes there's enough bulk editing that I do that at home because I have nicer tools there. Any of us with root server access can at times directly patch the production Mediawiki source code on the live site to deal with a problem. We can use a test wiki and/or confine changes to the code to specific servers when we need an isolated test setup. Similarly, for new release rollout, that is set to affect a gradually increasing number of projects as it's rolled out, not all at once. I expect that everyone uses SSH and SCP to copy things back and forth - SSH (Putty on Windows) is mandatory for access to the servers, for security reasons. We simply don't connect without it unless it's completely dead on all servers we can use to get in. And even then we'd likely want to connect via an SSH shell to the console server to get to a plain login prompt via it. Jamesday 02:52, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Silent Mongoose:

Just been busy with school. In my last semester at HCC (fl) and transfering to USF next semester for all of the fun EE classes. Don't worry, I didn't die of attrition. - Dbroadwell 22:58, 10 November 2005 (UTC) P.S. I like the counter vandalism logo, sorry i haven't gotten more of the queued bot processing running. - Dbroadwell 23:02, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Ah glad to hear you are somewhere. :) --Cool Cat ^Talk 12:27, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Untagged logo

No idea what Image:Nohat-logo-nowords-bgwhite-200px.gif should be tagged with, but it should have something... Stan 05:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

You responded to my request for help...

...Just wanted to confirm that you were able to see the edit section lins on my userpage (not talk page). I've tested it in IE and Firefox at two different resolutions, and nothing changes. Thanks, -Reuvenk_{T C E} 01:04, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks anyway. Still no section edit links. I'll try the village pump. -Reuvenk_{T C E} 14:08, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Help me

Thank you for your response. I think I understand. How do I fix the template? Parliament of Owls 02:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll try not to do any more "super silly edits," though. :) Parliament of Owls 02:53, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

lol...Thanks for brightening my day! Now, why am I suddenly tempted to make an article about my girlfriend's cat...? *grin* Parliament of Owls 09:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

If/Then/Else

Oops, I don't think I made myself clear. I was looking for conditional templates that worked in wikipedia. Ones that tested something and output something if it was one thing and something different if it was something else, all within wikipedia. (This has nothing to do with botting and editing) All evaluation occurs as the page is created--SomeStranger (T | C) 03:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Nevermind, I added my own to the wiki. They work as follows:

Since this is not directly an image of the logo, but a photo taken by you, there's no need to tag it as fair use, you can instead release it under a different (free) license.
