[edit] List of Plugins
I think it would be beneficial if someone in the know would create a list of plugins and their usefulness. French wikipedia already has something started here: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_plugins_pour_WordPress I just don't know enough to make one though i'd love to learn from it :)
[edit] Link to Wordpress.com/FreeCharity.org.uk
I'm not sure why my link to FreeCharity.org.uk was deleted, can it be explained please. (Added by 212.219.244.36 on June 2, 2006)
- I didn't remove it personally, but I can understand it being removed. Thousands of websites use WordPress, we can't list them all. As for WordPress.com being listed -- despite the fact that it's a for-profit service and nonbeneficial to the WordPress project, it has a perceived closeness with WordPress that other sites lack. -Sean Hayford O'Leary 06:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Similar Favicons
Did you notice how Wikipedia and Wordpress's favicons are similar ? :D
haha, good catch! Alxt 03:21, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] b2 merge
I would like to merge b2\cafelog with this article. The b2 article is a stub, and the project is dead: it is only significant in its relation to WordPress. I'd like to move the contents of that article into the History section of the WordPress article or create a new b2 section. Sean Hayford O'Leary 21:03, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- As no objections were raisesd, I've merged the articles. Sean Hayford O'Leary 21:44, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] BBpress
the same author has released a free forum http://bbpress.org/download/ 83.176.11.245 22:58, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WordPress and Wordpress MU
The article on WordPress MU is very short and the code bases are 95% the same, I don't see why we need two articles. 66.226.105.98 04:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- I somewhat agree. Let's give it a week or two and see if we can't build on each of them, as they are two different applications. Havok (T/C/e/c) 09:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Do not merge (sorry for the bolding, just noting as my official-ish vote) WordPress and MU, yes, are very similar under-the-hood, but their uses are pretty dramatically different. I say keep 'em separate. Sean Hayford O'Leary 01:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- Don't merge. I agree with Hayfordoleary. Sljaxon 00:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge! It's like saying a Volvo 740 GLE and a Volvo 740 GLE Turbo need separate articles. The MU is just a slightly altered codebase and pretty much does the same thing as Wordpress. Etcher 23:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge! It's the same program with only a few changes. Plus, most of what is written in the Wordpress article is applicable to Wordpress Mu. For example, the history of Wordpress also just happens to be the history of Mu, as Mu is essentially an implementation of Wordpress. Dturnq 07:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

- Done. Now all that's needed is a from-scratch rewrite of this article to bring it up to quality. Chris Cunningham 09:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- How could you merge when most of the editors above was against it...? Havok (T/C/e/c) 10:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Two for and two against, by my quick count. It can be split again if and when either article improves enough to warrant it. Chris Cunningham 11:55, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- I still think I want to fight this decision WPMU has different purpose then WP. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Designdroide (talk • contribs) 04:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] What happened?
why was WPMU merged with WP after a strong decision to keep them separate?user:Designdroide
- There were 2 for and 2 against. I wouldn't exactly characterize that as a "strong decision to keep them separate". - Etcher 02:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] bogus features
* Integrated link management
every feature should be integrated. otherwise it wouldn't be a feature.
* Typographic filters for proper formatting and styling of text
give me an example of a non-typographic filter. please. and the whole "Generates standards-compliant XML, XHTML, and CSS" makes this feature redundant.
* Extensible plugin support
if wordpresses plugins are extensible, what does a non-extensible plugin system look like?
you may get bonus points in school for adding pointless adjectives to nouns, but on wikipedia, it only serves to distract. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 38.100.22.127 (talk • contribs) 23:06, 17 March 2007.
