Clarity, another thing to add might be the "upload files" feature so that we can add photos and such that are not available via a URL. Maybe you could put a cap on the file size. Just a thought.

That should already be there, but I won't swear to it. I'll check it out.

There should be a button in the Toolbox in the left sidebar that says "Upload File," but it's not there.

Here's the info: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableUploads

All set. Had enabled it earlier, then just left PuTTY sitting open behind a dozen under windows without saving the changes. :paranoid:

Keep the tips/requests/notes coming, today is my first day with this stuff, so it's all a learning process.

Reading up on template creation now, we're going to need some, but will probably want to talk about what and how.

Just a heads up to all the mods and Clarity I haven't a clue about what I am doing on my Jack Tatum page but I am trying to figure it out as I go along. I know it still needs a lot of work and hell it may have to be scrapped all together but I figured it was a rough start. I've never done anything like this before and so I was using methomps pages as a guide as well as the links that Sushi posted for the cheat sheet. If any of you could please take a look I would greatly appreciate it. I just wondered am I on the right track or am I just screwing it up? Thanks in advance.
Computer stupid,
Buckeyedynasty :)

It's off to a great start, Buckeyedynasty. Now, if you'll go to the page you created and click on the "Discussion" tab, it will create a thread in the Article Discussion forum so that people can discuss changes and improvements specific to that article. I recommend everyone who creates a new page to do this (unless Clarity countermands this because he feels it will create too many threads or something).

Good plan, but I clicked that tab while exploring and it created the thread. I've deleted it so BuckeyeDynasty can make his own, but he will probably have to do it the regular way rather than from the Discussion tab. Sorry 'bout that, Dynasty.

Good stuff, methomps.

EDIT - Well, yeah, that works, too. :) Okay, Dynasty has his thread. Again, good stuff, methomps. :biggrin:

Am I the only one who questions the participation of a known USC fan? I feel that our (buckeye)national security will be weakened by the participation of known Pac-10 peeps. Is there any way that we can hide this and other features from known "outsiders?"

In addition to Dick Schafrath, I'll take Jim Palmer (not the underwear model/baseball player but the TE from Loudonville) and Mike Vrabel. My parents have a friend that's a former player, but I cannot remember his name. I'll find out and create a page for him as well.

OK I'm in trouble using the wiki. Do we have to download the wikimedia software to do this?

No, the editor works within the browser - in a manner like the post reply applications that you use to post your question. Though, the editor icons, the syntax for links and general interface, will appear unfamiliar at first.

EDIT: Unless you specifically see a link on the Main Page for adding new pages you may not have rights (right now) to add new pages?
