Hi :)
I never use the wysiwyg editor but i'm happy for other people to use it.  If 
tidying needs to be done afterwards there are plenty of people that are happy 
to play with the wiki markup/ code.  

Mark, it's good to see you are diving straight into the code too :)  I seldom 
know the proper names of things so there is no need to apologise.  It is 
possible to give a page a title that is slightly different from it's Url.  The 
French Faq might be doing that to show proper Title Case rather than 
CamelCase-mixed_with_numbers-and_strange_inconsistent-charaters.  

English 'should' really be Faq/En but that would make it inconsistent with the 
entire rest of the LO wiki.  If we did that then the French pages would need to 
be Faq/En/Fr.  Sadly we have to stick with the way things are set-up in the 
rest of the LO wiki.  They had to choose 1 way when the whole thing was set-up 
and they opted for "English as the international language" despite most of the 
people involved back then  being non-English themselves.  

The languages links at the top don't work because the French team used good 
common sense when they set-up their pages instead of looking at how the rest of 
the LO wiki was set-up.  We need to either
1. Rewrite the language selector and re-organise the entire LO wiki for many 
English pages as well as all pages for all other languages
2.  Convince the French Team to change their main Faq page address to Faq/Fr
3.  Sneakily add a new page called Faq/Fr and copy&paste the contents of the 
page FR/FAQ to it and just hope their links still work.  

I am in favour of option 3 and then use that to ask them if they think it's 
ok.  It's a bit cheeky but it makes it much easier to explain.  

My own backups are fairly unreliable and i rarely trust other people's either.  
Even so i tend to lose things occasionally but that is more down to my own 
filing and reliability than anything.  The official LO wiki back-ups seem 
fine.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom,

No.  I mean at the top of the French pages, in the title the span tag has an id 
(not a 
class, sorry) that is a very long string, almost the same as the title (within 
the 
bounds of tag requirements).  You have to look at the page's source code (could 
easily be press control-U when looking at the page) to see it.
I don't know what this would be used for.

I hadn't considered this.
D'you think *really* it ought to change to Faq/En/Base?

And, kinda related, if I'm looking at the English page and want to see the 
French page and don't have the link you supplied to hand, shouldn't I be able 
to click on "Fr" in the list of languages as the top of the page?  Looks like 
all those links are broken...

Hmmm, no backups?

Thanks :-)
