Talk:Main Page

From NewMars

Somebody puhleezzzzzzzzzzzz clean up my mess... I made this a redirect from the main page, because I didn't have the heart to soil that one...

I have *no* idea how to structure tha 'first page..." (duh, judging from the looks of it, that's fairly obvious, no?)


I don't know what the page looked like before but how does it lookk now?

John Creighton

@John: Better, at least there's something going on! @BWhite: indeed preRamble was an intentional lame joke, i expected it to be editet out, of course. No-one seemed to be working on the Wiki, so I decided to lure people in that way...

Josh? Is there a way to rename "Main page" to "Welcome" or something similar? Now it sounds too dry, IMO...

@John Creighton: Wow, did anyone notice when the main site is down the Wikki is still up? Maybe that will give people an insentive to work on the Wikki. :)

heh, if only it did a redirect to this place... No such luck :(

"Not a Bland Wikipedia Ripoff"

The Slogan of this forum. If I make a picture, saying something like that, could one of the mods put it up on the main page?Jumpboy11j 15 December 2007 20:24 (EST)


Wanted pages added

I added a 'help out' request at the frontpage, hope this will lure some people to add content...

I think I fixed it up, so have fun guys, I'm REALLY sorry for taking so long to get to it, I just. Forgot.

Metric system...

I don't know if this is exactly the place to say this, but I think that all units in all articles should be in the metric system, with English ones put in paranthesis... It's okay ? maxie 26 January 2006 05:18 (EST)

Maybe Metric preferred but imperial (what a sad name) will be (grudgingly) ok as well?Jumpboy11j 15 December 2007 15:33 (EST)

Updated the stub template related

Updated to the proper code for the template Stub. Null edit on all pages which contain it, to parse them again and clear wiki's cache. Now they are properly show in the Stubs category. Sorry for not doing this before, it didn't worked the first time, because Wiki is version 1.5, and I didn't realised why; should be updated to 1.5.6. maxie 28 January 2006 04:50 (EST)

Martian or Marsian ?

Well, which one to use ? Martian sound too much like martians (the little green things coming to invade Earth - blah) maxie 29 January 2006 17:43 (EST)

Martian should be fine, it doesn't mean that to me but failing that maybe Marsan? Marsian is too... strange, maybe? I don't think it's a big deal. Jumpboy11j 15 December 2007 15:33 (EST)

New Users

I have several suggestions for this wiki, in fact i have already made a few edits. Is this where discussion should happen? the Liberum forum is blocked which is a shame because that would be a much better place for comments. CIclops 22 March 2006 10:38 (EST)

My advice: As I understand it, CIclops, the Wiki has a history function that allows the admins to reset any unwanted changes. If you have a useful idea, just go with for a few articles, even if you think it will change the "direction" of the wiki. No permanent damage will be done. IMHO, this site hasn't reached critical mass yet, and almost anything that isn't bad enough to merit deletion is an improvement at this point.

Also, I hadn't realized that the Liberum forum is blocked. No wonder it's been dead for the past month! Maybe we could get a forum admin to fix this? --C M Edwards 22 March 2006 14:47 (EST)

Hi there. OK I'll go ahead and make more changes. Yes Liberum is blocked for me, but maybe you can comment there. Nice Greenhouse article! CIclops 23 March 2006 10:06 (EST)

Sorry about that CIclops, I've been MIA for awhile. Josh Cryer 26 March 2006 09:58 (EST)

Main page is now 'protected'

(By maxie, after a defacement)

Which means it isn't changeable by users. Thank you spammers for ruining things :(

If you want to see something added/changed to it, just add a comment here, and people with the right privileges will look into it. --Rxke 14 April 2006 09:11 (EDT)

could on the main page be added a redirect to the following webpage 'hablife' about how to live at a Mars Analogue Research Station (MARS)? Also a wiki. http://hablife.elwiki.com about living on analogue Mars

Hablife

Good Idea, since it's part of Mars Society's work. Done --Rxke 15 June 2006 13:35 (EDT)
