Re: Pandora

Personally, I'm not so sure on how to best handle this. Usually, the extenal link templates take the unique part of the URL and automatically format the link (e.g. {{moby game|id=/wii/wii-sports|name=''Wii Sports''}} → Wii Sports at MobyGames). It's usually based on observation on what sort of links the sites in question use. But here, based on your example, we have two URLs that are pretty much the same but have crucial differences... what I'm envisioning would be something like {{pandora |id=39154/20040506-0000 |page1=www.chifley.org.au/publications/kntf.html |page2=www.chifley.org.au/publications/indexf833.html?publicationID=8}}. I'm a little bit confused, sorry... because as far as I can tell the two documents you mention aren't the same. Perhaps we need more research on this. If the site really recommends you to have separate URLs for the same document (which is funny because the two documents aren't the same, as far as I can tell), then it should probably be done this way, but if not, perhaps one link is sufficient. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 09:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 23:47, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
