Help

How can I add edit tags to the special subtitles I have made? So that we can easily edit one page at a time? Tom Michael - Mostly Zen Baby tao (talk) 23:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

You can't, because the wikicode defines subsections of a page (when editing) by H1 H2 H3 H4 tags (= == === ==== headers in wikicode) and no other way. So, you have to use those type of headers if you want to edit sections.
So, the easiest way to do this is to make sure you only have H/= type headers where you want editing divides. That means: no using <h2> or === for bold text, and applying the styles directly to h2 tags rather than tables for sections. I've edited your Main Page quite a bit in an attempt to do what you seem to want (see the history for what exactly I've done). Revert if it is not to your liking.
Alternately, what you could do is put the subheaders into transclusioned subpages, and link to the edit page of that subpage (as many other wikis do). --Splarka (talk) 22:58, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Logo Image for the Site

I have an image to replace the blue Wikia image in the top left corner.

Here it is, tell me what you think of it:

Psylogo-png

This is the png version of the logo. We can update it later if/when someone comes up with a better logo, but something along these lines seems good. Discuss alternative logos on this discussion page. Mostly Zen 11:29, 17 June 2006 (UTC)


<font-color:#FF0000>NEW: Featured Article

Does anyone know how I can change the word NEW to appear in a red colour? I've tried normal HTML coding tricks but it refuses to be anything but black!

Thank you to the anonymous contributor who fixed this to Red! :) Mostly Zen Baby tao (talk) 19:18, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

This will be a nice first featured article. We are currently working on the Article Depression which will be our first main featured article. Please help contributing to these two articles to improve the existing featured article and to get the Depression article into good shape after which it will be featured too.

Structure of the Wiki

Hi David, I have moved your discussion to here: Forum:Structuring_the_Wiki which is part of our general discussion forum. (Linked to from Discussion Forum in the community box, on the left hand side of the screen). I really like your suggestions, and will reply properly there.

Exposure

This is Fuzzform of Wikipedia again. I noticed that most of the comments are by operators/creators of the wiki. This shouldn't be the case, in a good wiki. This wiki needs more exposure to the online community. I'll add links where appropriate on Wikipedia and elsewhere. Also, I'll register here, although I won't be of much help until I head back to school (I'm on extended vaction for the summer).

Hi Fuzzform. Many thanks for helping to increase our exposure. Your help is much appreciated. We look forward to you joiin us here140.247.214.184 11:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Friends

Just wanted to say that I did a bit of work on the personal experiences section of this main page. I mainly tried to make it easier to follow and more organized. The actual content is mostly the same. Andrew Schramm (talk) 16:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Brilliant, that section looks and reads much more easily now. Any chance you could do something similar for the How can I contribute section? When I first wrote it, it was pretty clear, but as I added and added stuff (as we had more material) its gradually become a little messy.

Semi Protection

Admittedly it is generally inadvisable to engage in full protection. There is, however, a mid-option available if you happen to be an admin, call semi-protection with several options to it. One of those is to block only moves. Since there would be no legitimate reason for moving the Main page, I would suggest that it be protected from moves, while still leaving actual edit available.--Kirk 01:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

revamp of Main Page

I've started to redesign this page so the first people see is how to get into the site. Before the were having to read through reams to get to this . I am hoping this will improve useability and load more quickly.

I have put all that additional material in the additional introductory information page as its still all useful.Dr Joe Kiff 14:54, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
