Metachat Wiki! I thought it'd be useful for us all to have a place where we can store info, colaborate, etc so I installed a wiki. Please feel free to make use of it.

Cool. Maybe we/someone can add some basic IRC info for dummies like me?

posted by tr33hggr 22 December | 10:22

Cool, yes.

A created a page listing users here who live under different names at MetaFilter. I don't think I stepped on anybody's toes. Fix it up if I did.

Doesn't dejah420 post here under a different name?

IRC FAQ? Your wish is my command!

Still needs a bit of work though

posted by dodgygeezer 22 December | 10:33

Sweet, thanks!

I fixed a few spelling and grammatical errors. Ah, an outlet for my inner editor!

What is the policy on autobiography? Is it contreversial?

posted by Capn 22 December | 11:30

It'd be more amusing if we all bigraphized eachother or something.

Where is the page with username differences on it? Like, bunnyfire = konolia...that page.

Username differences is porbably a better title.

Ooh, Wiki is fun!

posted by panoptican 22 December | 12:05

yeah, thanks dodgy!

greatest holiday and new years wishes to all!

So the only way to find out what pages are in the wiki is to go to the Recent Changes page? Or are they linked somewhere else?

Yes, I am a wikidiot.

posted by iconomy 22 December | 12:18

This is awesome.

posted by Specklet 22 December | 12:23

Well actually it's up to the wiki users to create links to pages. I've put some in now - although this'll probably need some proper organization at some point.

Thanks Specklet!

posted by dodgygeezer 22 December | 12:26

Place a link to the wiki in the left navbar?

posted by matildaben 22 December | 12:27

I shall do that a bit later - after I've done some last minute crimbo shopping!

posted by dodgygeezer 22 December | 12:32

Yes, I am a wikidiot.

Me too! Someone has to create a separate link to a page before you can find it, other than by searching for a keyword that might be on that page? There's no standard "complete list of articles in this wiki" generated somewhere? I suppose that could get quite big for some wikis.

posted by PinkStainlessTail 22 December | 12:58

I'm totally wikidiotian, but I did manage to put a link on our left sidebar.

At any rate, I think all will be resolved once stilicho shows up - he's a wikidiosavant!

I created a Radio Mecha page listing some of the people who have DJ'ed. I did a search for posts containing the word "radio". If I've missed anyone, please add yourself.

posted by matildaben 22 December | 13:20

There's lots of useful pages linked from Special Pages on the left. There is also, as PST requested, an All Pages page

Once I figure out how, I'll attempt to explain the penis meme.

Penis.

Hmm. That gives me an idea, 'pup...

posted by Specklet 22 December | 15:10

I'm a little curious and concerned about how one reminded you of the other, Speck, but hey -- I'll take those whuffles without complaint.

posted by dodgygeezer 22 December | 15:16

This is great! Thanks!

Cool, matilda, thanks!

posted by mudpuppie 22 December | 17:35

It was more of a meme reminding me of a meme... not so much penis connotation with whuffles. Meaning: I think I started the whole whuffle thing...
