User talk:Piotr Banski

Re: New Message alert.

Reading the message/talk page and deleting the content seems to have done it for me. *shrug* No idea.

Workaround: You have to "unwatch" your user page. Of course, the bug is absent in later versions of Mediawiki. Piotr Banski 17:16, 3 April 2007 (BST)

Re: DM Wiki ... I know. It has been left neglected for a bit. We're planning a move to a new server and sometime after that we might move to a later version of it. Because of a misconfiguration (which we have no access to change) banning of users doesn't seem to work on that. Always a problem with academics looking after wikis, etc., we all have so many 'more important' things to do.

Re: Captcha

Which of the available captcha's do you think we should go for? I noticed especially:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit

and

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA

If the first, do we need a captcha on all edits? or only user account creation?

Re: Root category

Hi Piotr,

Thanks for letting me know that Category:TEI Wiki was not the root category. I am a MediaWIki webmaster myself and I must admit that I find a single root category always helpful for new visitors. It is usually good wiki practice to also add the CategoryTree extension so that in a single location, a new user can have access to the general structure of the website.

Should I revert my edits or maybe move the uncategorized categories to a different root cat?
