Welcome

Hello Mike,

It's nice to see you here. As you are sysop at en.wb I think you do not need any great instruction. ;-) But as an important contrast our naming conventions differ from them in other wikis. So we make a space after slash or colon when using it as chapter separation. :)

Actually that's very interesting. What is the rationale for that? MediaWiki won't make links up the hierarchy when there is a space after the slash. Mike.lifeguard | ^@meta 19:19, 28. Jan. 2008 (CET)

Are you sure? See Latein/ Grammatik/ Satzlehre/ Präpositionen/ Präpositionen mit Ablativ. There are links up the hierarchy. Just for Latein/ Grammatik/ Satzlehre/ Präpositionen there is no link, but that page doesn't exist; so it's clear. ;-)

The reason for that is: As some people make very long chapter titles and in German it is possible to form very long words (eg. Dampfschifffahrtskapitänsmütze (cap of a captain of a steam boat) and even longer :D) there would no newline break and it would appear a scroll bar at the bottom of the page. If there is a space there will appear a newline break. Furthermore it's easier to read when there is a space. :) -- 89.204.146.89 aka heuler06 10:25, 29. Jan. 2008 (CET)

So there are! You learn something new every day :) I guess that does make sense for German. Mike.lifeguard | ^@meta 14:38, 30. Mai 2008 (CEST)

Hi

Nice to meet you. I didn´t know, that you are in the german wikibooks ,too. --Oceancetaceen 00:21, 26. Jan. 2008 (CET)

I have accounts on every wiki (or will shortly) :) Mike.lifeguard | ^@meta 19:45, 15. Feb. 2008 (CET)

your revert

Hi Mike,

Here you revert a link addition. Could you explain why?

Regards,

I monitor cross-wiki spam, and this one was added to many wikis. Excessive link placement should be reverted, which I did. You may see the report on this domain here. Mike.lifeguard | ^@meta 14:37, 30. Mai 2008 (CEST)

OK. As I see there you also have some doubts reverting it.

What's about the meta:Spam blacklist? Is that a blacklist which works for all wikis? -- heuler06 16:58, 30. Mai 2008 (CEST)

I was hesitant to blacklist, not to revert. That blacklist is for all 700+ WMF wikis, all 3000+ Wikia wikis, plus a good portion of the 25000+ unrelated MediaWiki wikis. Mike.lifeguard | ^@meta 04:55, 2. Jun. 2008 (CEST)
