Is there a type of table that can be used in Wiki format that will
automagically make the contents fall to the proper place ?
The only table I'm familiar with, require that as entires are added or
deleted from the table, the entire contents have to be shuffled up or down, so
that the table contents display properly weighted. That is, each cell is full
except the bottom-right-most.
It would be cool if we had tables that you simply set up and say "this table
has five columns" (or whatever) and as you add things or delete things to
the middle of the table, the rest of the contents automagically shuffle forward
or backward.

I just signed up for Amazon Associates program.
One way you can "advertise" is by using code which displays a targeted
product for the user to buy, with links back to that specific product on Amazon.
So for example on our "Raw Meat" article we could have a link directly to
"Buy Raw Meat from Amazon!" or whatever.
The code from Amazon uses the iframe HTML directive. Does the current Wikia
software even allow iframe's within the code ? I can't recall seeing that
being used on any of the pages I've edited.

Changing the title.
The best way to investigate what advertising would do to our base, would be
to look at those mimics who already advertise, and their user-base.
Granted they probably do not have the comprehensiveness that we do.
I'm not speaking about mirrors here, I'm speaking of those sites that use a
similar "anyone can edit, except by anyone we mean certain people and not
others, and under certain circumstances not any...."

I think that ignores the issue that *this particular* "screw-up" is
attempting to come down from the top, not up from the bottom.
It's not the community that is in favor of it. It's the Foundation.
Isn't that so?

Her in-wiki article does not state that.

Perhaps a different angle would help?
One thing no-indexing user and user talk namespaces would help with is to
curb the recent trend of userpage spam. I see half a dozen or more
userpages a day which are spam or masquerading as articles. If userspace
wasn't indexed, pretty soon the companies/persons who attempt this sort of
advertising will figure out it doesn't work; no one ever finds their
"article" from Google or Yahoo.
The most recent example that springs into my mind is [[User:Kliff Hanger Dot
Com]] (whose page I didn't think spamish enough to delete, though I still
blanked it), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kliff_Hanger_Dot_Com .
There's no question that page should not be sitting around in userspace
where people can Google it.
Just my two cents on this, since the BLP angle is getting kind of tired.
Cheers.
