Technical issues
I tried to set my preferences (twice) to have the software add pages I edit to my watch list. It does not seem to be working. --JWSchmidt 16:27, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, that last edit put this page into my watch list. I wonder if it is possible that only main namespace pages were being added to my watch list. --JWSchmidt 16:41, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
- I just added a topic and school to my watchlist... Wikademia 17:10, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Licence
What is the licence of the site? Creative commons or GFDL or both? You need to specify it at the bottom of the edit box or else every contribution is presumed copyrighted. H 00:56, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
- Both. See also, Project:Copyrights. You are right. I need to put it at the bottom too... I suppose a text link to both cc-by-sa and gfdl (newest) at the bottom where the icon would usually be should suffice. Seem reasonable? Then we may migrate purely to cc-by-sa if WP does. ... This may be a little sticky, but it seems like it should be workable...

Ref: should it be installed?
- Support Yes, I definitely believe it should be installed, but the templates for ref are quite annoying and are not convenient or necessary. The feature, while not necessary, is certainly useful and eases the process of creating a bibliography and footnotes. Jonas 68.96.213.118 23:26, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes - I pretty much hate complex add-ons but I had to cave on this one. It's just too nice. I agree though that the templates like "cite: web" don't help. All they do is bother newcomers and make the wiki text harder to read. Emperor 13:48, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
