Wiki Update
« on: October 17, 2005, 10:22:22 PM »
Wiki update:

Created links to Central link wiki's Ideas and Whimsical.

Ideas is designed to allow group interaction on either programming projects or discussions.

Whimsical is for DB related stories and such.

I posted a warning above the links so new users will know they aren't directly part of the manual.

Hopefuly, this will allow creativity without confusing people.

Specific intentions with both links is vague, so feel free to do with them what you like.

Alot of work has been done with improving user wiki help. You've got Griz to thank for that one. It's [you]really[/you] helpful having someone onboard who knows there way around the wiki's more advanced abilities.

A wiki is NOT a forum you guys... I don't see the logic...

The RoundTable is mainly so we can all talk more or less individually to each other without cluttering up our talk pages. It gets kind of annoying having to copy over discussions each time so we know what the heck each other is talking about.

I personally see no problem using the wiki like this, there isn't any real rules(within reason) about what can be done with them.

I made the whimsical section so that people could post up less directly related articles, without mixing it in the main pages. I kind of thought you'd all like it :sad2:

The stuff people have come up with can be interesting but it needs it's own home, where it won't confuse new members.

it's just a central area where those who wish to talk can.
if you don't ... then don't.

hey Bots ...
are you always pissed at something/someone?
seems so.

No, [Bots] might just be having a bad day/week whatever; we all get them.

From what I've seen, he has always been enthusiastic about DB and has taken all the jokes about his spelling etc in his stride.

Everyone, just chill!  :cheers:

Well, first you should get an account so we know who the heck is talking to us.

Then you just go to the top of the page and click edit.  Then you edit it like it's a word document.  Then you hit preview (which I'm terrible at remember to do) to see if it's all there that you want to put.  Then you hit save.

Well, simply that if you're logged into the wiki anyway and want to discuss soemthing vaguely wiki-related, that would be a good place to do it.
