Impressive work on all the background mechanisms, Forgottenman! May I request a few more templates for citing resources, that seem to be necessary for the many articles and parts imported from Wikipedia (e.g. [[Austrian School|here]])?

:I'll have a look; they would be useful. Hopefully though their existence doesn't encourage more copy / pastes from Wikipedia... we have the opportunity to create articles that have much more detail and a less restrictive license, but if we start with WP text, our article is a derivative work of WP forever. --[[User:Forgottenman|Forgottenman]] ([[User talk:Forgottenman|talk]]) 08:42, 16 November 2010 (CST) | :I'll have a look; they would be useful.

Extensions and interwiki links
A few questions:
- What Wikimedia extensions are installed here?
- What types of interwiki links are available for external wiki-linking? Mcornelius 03:59, 12 November 2010 (CST)
- The extensions we have right now can be seen at Special:Version: we have categorytree, charinsert, parserfunctions, and cite. If we need more, however, we can ask our developers to install them.
- As far as interwiki links go, it looks like we can use the full names of Wikimedia wikis, but not shortcuts. So, wikipedia:Ludwig von Mises or wiktionary:praxeology. For Wikisource, we have to specify the language: wikisource:en:The Law. --Forgottenman (talk) 06:49, 12 November 2010 (CST)
Rights
Seems like your rights issue is solved --Jatucker 12:16, 12 November 2010 (CST)
- What do you mean? --Forgottenman (talk) 12:24, 12 November 2010 (CST)
- I thought your permissions were somehow limited but I see that they are not --Jatucker 16:09, 12 November 2010 (CST)
- No, you gave me "bureaucrat" status, which is pretty much the highest available without being a developer. --Forgottenman (talk) 18:57, 12 November 2010 (CST)

Missing Templates
Impressive work on all the background mechanisms, Forgottenman! May I request a few more templates for citing resources, that seem to be necessary for the many articles and parts imported from Wikipedia (e.g. here)? Pestergaines 08:25, 16 November 2010 (CST)
- I'll have a look; they would be useful. Hopefully though their existence doesn't encourage more copy / pastes from Wikipedia... we have the opportunity to create articles that have much more detail and a less restrictive license, but if we start with WP text, our article is a derivative work of WP forever. --Forgottenman (talk) 08:42, 16 November 2010 (CST)
- Well, we can always start from scratch if needed. :)
- Oh, and: big thanks for help with the BookSources! It's a small detail, but very useful when needed! Pestergaines 14:41, 16 November 2010 (CST)
