For those of you interested in the wiki:

cool....

I think that to add a wiki is very interesting. Can you tell me what software did you use for that wiki?
Thx

It's the software used for Wikipedia.

Hi jeremy!
Why dont you put a section for device driver and Kernel module programmers?

Hi jeremy, I'd just like to know if theer is any way for users to delete a page. Not rename it but delete it.

Just curious.

that's really cool jeremy


:D

Users cannot delete pages. If you would like one of your user pages deleted you can use the "Report this article to a moderator" link and it will be removed. If it is a public page then it should really be discussed on the articles talk page until there is consensus for a deletion. At that point someone can report it to a moderator.

Just an FYI - if you signed up for the mailing list on the first day or so you are not subscribed due to a configuration issue. If you are interested in the Wiki the mailing list is a great way to help shape its direction.

Thanks David.

The wiki is really cool.

Cheers.

Gawd help us, here comes the Slashdot crowd! ;)

Hey, some of the slashdot crowd might have already been here, you insensitive clod! ;)

I saw about this in Slashdot first :( and was quite shocked. Really, I didn't visit the site for a few days and Jeremy creates a new furore :) I like this idea very much. In truth, this will in tim create a big knowledgebase that is easier to search and use than even tldp.org :)

Jeremy,
 

edit: david_ross explained it to me. I don't know how the box in my prefs got unchecked but it is all OK now. Sorry about that :)

Something I just noticed.

When I am not logged into the Wiki site everything looks nice. When I log in however, things look different. I doesn't matter what browser I use. Things used to look fine. Words with [[around them]] would always be a link.

Peace,
Whitehat

P.S. is there a "Wiki Questions/Suggestions" forum?...should there be? :)

That is the second way that pages that don't exist yet are linked to, the first being with the links in a different colour.

You can change it in your preferences:
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Special:Preferences

3rd option down in the right hand column.

Questions and suggestions would be fine in the LQ wiki mailing list. But, that's what I think. :)

Hi

I know this is an old post

my eyesight can not see how to create a new account as I know my questions username info does not carry over

see attached image, and no clickable link to create account, cookies enabled otherwise I could not login in LQ


I have seen this post but none the wiser
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...nt-4175467360/

so then I found this link which is
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/index...in&type=signup

but it says

We've disabled LQ Wiki account creation temporarily due to a massive spam attack.

--jeremy

fair enough

which moderator can I pm with my user name...all lower case--- aus9 and a passwd,
so I can get an account pls?

slightly offtopic but relevant to spam

Have you guys considered more anti-spam measures such as images?

I like the rotation method as people with poor eyesight will intuitively grasp this
--or English as a second language

I've re-enabled account creation.

--jeremy

The wiki is due for some updates that should address the spam issue properly.

--jeremy

thanks

oops spoke too soon

tried to create aus9, I must have set up Aus9 in the past
but I don't what that old email address as its not going to my new one.

any chance a mod can pm me so I can advise what my new email address is
or better still

delete entirely the Aus9 account so I can use aus9?

The first letter of all mediawiki usernames are capitalized.

LQ mods don't have any elevated permissions at the wiki. I've synced the email address for Aus9 at the wiki with your account here.

--jeremy

excellent thanks heaps

Jut to let you know I failed miserably trying to receive an email for Aus9
--message said email sent but not recd my end

So I have joined as Gordon and have had the arrogance to leave some feedback
rather than use the mailing list and annoy everyone on my pet fetish
---using internal or external embed images into wikis

http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/...alk:LQ_Central

forgive me if you have notifications turned on for these "chats"
sorry if this sounds pushy

edit

I have made a number of tests in sandbox using various syntax but me thinks the lack of upload
will umm stop me from staying with a wiki concept

I am now investigating using a google doc with embedded graphics My Mileage May Vary
