People's "talk" pages alert them to messages. Their user pages don't. Best wishes! [[User:Robin Patterson|robinp]] 00:46, 18 Jan 2006 (EST)

Thank you for the tip Robin! - Need to write something up about that function.  [[TalkPagesForWikiPeople]] - best, mark
 
== testing notification for message on talk page ==
 
Does it work?  did you get the notification? [[User:Tedernst|Tedernst]] 16:35, 18 Jan 2006 (EST)
 
When I first signed up for wikipedia, I was TedErnst, but then somehow couldn't get signed in again using that name so became Tedernst and started editing without realizing what was up.  Now I'm attached to it.  Then, since this is also mediawiki, I stuck with the strange name.  I'll fix it out.  Thanks!
 
And you can welcome Tristan by editing the talk page (not the user page directly), which is considered fine etiquete at mediawikis, as far as I know. [[User:Tedernst|Tedernst]] 16:49, 18 Jan 2006 (EST)
 
 
 
: Mark, I'm okay with whatever is going to happen here and don't need it to look any way, so please know that I love you very much and all my suggestions are just that, suggestions.  I'm here to help. :-)
 
: That said, Mediawiki has some really cool features that I think will be useful to use.  Notice how [[MarkDilley]] and [[User: MarkDilley]] are two different pages?  One is an article and the other is a user.  I believe it'll be cleaner to not have any people in the article namespace, the space that you want to be full of wikis.  When you make a comment that you'd like signed, you don't have to link to anything, you can just type 4 tildes, and it'll expand out with the datestamp and a link to your user page. [[User:Tedernst|Tedernst]] 16:34, 18 Jan 2006 (EST)
 
* Ted I do not know how to redirect my page [[MarkDilley]] to user:MarkDilley, please do that if you can. I want the simplicity of wiking my name.
 
: Oh, and I just remembered, media wiki also has a talk page connected with every other page, in every namespace.  So if I want to leave a comment for you, I don't leave it on your user page, but on your talk page: [[User talk: MarkDilley]] and you'll get a notification (I'm pretty sure) that you have a new message. [[User:Tedernst|Tedernst]] 16:34, 18 Jan 2006 (EST)
 
:An admin can do it. First, an admin has to delete the page "User:MarkDilley" because it was nothing but a redirect. Then any registered user can move "MarkDilley" page to "User:MarkDilley". [[User:Tristram Shandy|Tristram Shandy]] 17:48, 18 Jan 2006 (EST)
 
So Tristam, I just [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]] and it goes to my user name or my article name?
 
:: On wikipedia it's really important to preserve edit histories because of the GPL licence.  We don't have that issue here with the CC license, correct?  So a cut and paste move isn't a problem here the way it is there? [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]]
 
== link to you ==
 
Just sign your contributions with 4 tildes <nowiki>"~~~~"</nowiki> and you won't need to remember how to link to yourself. [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] 17:13, 18 Jan 2006 (EST)
 
: Yea, I just don't like the time date stamp, so I don't do that.  It is not in my wiki nature :-)
 
::If you don't like the time stamp, you can use three tildes instead. [[User:Tristram Shandy|Tristram Shandy]]
 
Okay, well, we're going to have to decide the namespace issue.  I just noticed that John Stanton has his page in the article space as well.  Where can we have that conversation?  [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] 17:22, 18 Jan 2006 (EST)
 
It is cleaner to have the name of [[Wiki People]] have article pages.  Thanks for the tild example Tristram! [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]]
