From what I
remember from Wikipedia-L, I thought we
were going to continue to allow subpages on
personal
pages and ditch them on the regular wikipedia. Are
there any plans to put them back in on personal pages?
Don't know.
That would be nice.
AFAIK, as we can still use the "/" character in page titles, there never was
a plan to reintroduce subpage *functionality*. But it is easy enough to to
by hand: Create the subpage by clicking on a link you create on your
homepage ("[[user:Magnus Manske/foobar]]"); on the "subpage", write
"Back to
~~~", which will become the backlink to your homepage.
Also, when are you going to give back privileges to
edit the Homepage to trusted users? I made it my
responsibility to update the new language wikipedias
when they came in and now I can't. I think an
unprotected homepage is better than a protected
homepage that only two people can edit... now that's a
cabal!
Well, there was originally a "can-edit-the-homepage" cabal :-)
consisting
of about a dozen people, but they all had sysop
privileges as
well, which
was, er, not to "diss" any of the
people in question, maybe a little
dangerous.
Were there ever any actual incidents where this was a problem? If there
were, it should be made public.
It seems we're back at my "trusted" status idea, which was meant to
*reduce*
the "cabal" by making certain fucntions accessible to many people instead of
two. Well, I guess I was ahead of my time again ;)
Y'know, I
think a sensible thing to do would be to make all registered
users members of a "can-edit-the-homepage" cabal, which makes
it no
longer
a cabal. This would prevent almost all homepage
vandalism.
That's a good idea.
Best idea, second to "trusted"...
