We should jazz this way up. Especially with info on setting the language preferences. pfctdayelise (说什么?) 04:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Don't forget to change your language preferences:"

Not everyone will need to change their language preference (singular). Should therefore read "Don't forget to select your language preference:" or even "You can change your language preference here:". --AlisonW 22:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Good point :) --Flominator 07:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Something else ... the template refered to (Template:Notify) actually redirects to a copyvio page!

No, it refers to Template:notify me --Flominator 08:52, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Languages

What do think about replacing the light blue links by flag icons? --Flominator 20:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

For the love of God no. Never ever do this. :( There is NOT a one-one correspondence between languages and areas represented by flags. --pfctdayelise (说什么?) 04:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, right ... Australians ... I forgot :) --Flominator 08:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Columns

I personally find the one column version quite ugly. This one was better. Unfortunately that one doesn't fit in 800x600 :( -- Bryan (talk to me) 15:03, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Me to, since people would see it without scrolling. --Flominator 18:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I have changed back to a two column appearance. It should now also work on 800x600. -- Bryan (talk to me) 20:00, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit request

{{editprotected}} Can be changed to ? Yung6 16:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Well... it could... but should it? I associate green with success, like "go". Orange is for caution, like "possible problem". So in my mind it makes more sense to keep it green. pfctdayelise (说什么?) 16:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

That's not how I believe it. Yung6 16:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I concur with pfctdayelise. (→zelzany - framed) 01:41, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Not done I agree with Vishwin60 and pfctdayelise, green = okay, orange/yellow=caution. MECU≈talk 01:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Error to be fixed

when i signed up, the browser directed me to some version of this page. the template "Notify me" wasn't displayed well (the whole source of the template page was included, even the one that shouldn't be). i'm not sure whether this occured after loading "MediaWiki:Welcomecreation" from a page titled "login successful", or since i'm using a hebrew interface.
