[Wikimediaau-l] time to join Wikimedia Australia?

If you are not currently a member of Wikimedia Australia http://wikimedia.org.au/ we'd like to invite you to join us. Now, I am sure you all get plenty of hyperbolic spam in your inboxes posted by marketing droids, so I won't add to it. The low-key reasons we would like you to join are thes

It's perfectly normal, so naturally you'd prefer to associate more with other normal people, which you can do as a Wikimedia Australia member. Kerry -Original Message- From: kallen.peac...@gmail.com [mailto:kallen.peac...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of K. Peachey Sent: Sunday, 16 June 2013 7:3

Pyjamas: that's a timid concept. There's a rumour going around that some people edit Wikipedia in the nude. I don't believe it. T On 16/06/2013, at 7:29 PM, K. Peachey wrote: > On Sun, Jun 16, 2013 at 7:07 PM, Kerry Raymond > wrote: >> … >> you get to spend more time with people who don’t thi

Hi All, I'm pleased to advise that this document has now been adopted (with a few modifications, thanks to Brian and Anthony for those) by the committee at its meeting this afternoon as an official policy. This policy in its current form is a culmination of a lot of work by a lot of people over a

Wearing my "plain old editor" hat, I need some advice. There is a template http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_CHIMS which is used to cite entries in the Queensland Heritage Register (a subject near and dear to my editing heart, at 3am in my pyjamas). Anyhow this template was br

Template:QueenslandHeritageRegister is a bit unwieldly but it also provided a descriptive label for the tin. That's what I'd go with. I think (and I'm happy to be corrected here), that if you Move a template and leave a redirect in place it won't break any extant use of the template on other page

A "Move" will rename and leave a redirect, which means existing transclusions will still work, (unless you're an administrator and have the ability to NOT leave a redirect). If you're not sure what to rename it to, you could initiate a requested move for a template, as if it was a contentious move

Yeah, on reflection keeping it as {{Cite QHR}} is probably the way to go - a quick Google search doesn't show that many potential clashes (a medical journal, a medical outsourcing company, and a few tech companies). Just don't forget to update the documentation, and preferably mention that it used

Thanks all. I did the move and both the old CHIMS template and the new QHR template both seem to be working fine. Now to update the documentation . _ From: lankiv...@gmail.com [mailto:lankiv...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Craig Franklin Sent: Sunday, 16 June 2013 10:41 PM To: Russavia Cc:
