Template talk:Main Page discussion header
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hmm, this page is not protected, though it is marked as "permanently protected". Nelson Ricardo 02:35, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
- That's meant to refer to the Main Page. There is no immediate reason to protect this template since it has no history of vandalism. — Dan | Talk 03:11, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Also no point. You could just vandalise Talk:Main Page instead, which will never be blocked. gkhan 15:29, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
- I have removed the template since it serves absolutely no purpose and is misleading. There's no point in having a template on the talk page that applies to it's corresponding main page. Pegasus1138Talk | Contribs | Email ---- 04:43, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Have changed Wikipedia:Reference desk link to Wikipedia:Ask a question. The old link was inaccurate. Superm401 | Talk 16:48, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Server status link
Does the server status link (under Main page and beyond) belong here? It directs to an external site, http://www.thewritingpot.com/wikistatus/, which seems to be useful but is not community or foundation-endorsed. The link was added, but to a different site, http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Wikipedia_Status, by Dan100 in January '05, and was changed to the current thewritingpot link in March '06 by The wub. ~ PseudoSudo 01:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- After every server outage Talk:MainPage gets a lot of "what happened to WP" questions. Since this header's only intention is to help new users the link does belong here. Yes it is external, it needs to be as when the server is down it's still alive. The irony is that when the server is down people can't check the link anyway. But it's purpose is to lessen the "wHat Happ3ned to WP did iT get pwnd" type posts.
- Also - you removed the wikilink time travel - you're absolutely no fun at all, you know that? ;) --Monotonehell 06:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
