Thanks Kolomona! That is extremely helpful. Sorry about leaving my message in the wrong place earlier - I was momentarily confused about which page I was editing. I'll let you know when I have something up and running, and I will be sure to acknowledge your help. [[User:Dryguy|Dryguy]] 11:15, 15 June 2006 (MST)

I've created a project page on [[OT:WP|Wikipedia]], summarizing some of the concerns I think important.

I shudder to think of hordes of freaked-out refugees from the WP behavioral sink descending on us and running amok without any guidance.

I have in mind a project (utterly unrelated to OT's mission) that ought to be hosted on a MediaWiki installation. I'm not interested in Wikia; I can't deal with that kind of fanaticism.

: Thank you for the compliment. I am in no way a MediaWiki guru, but I can obviously get it working. I'd be happy to discuss your project with you. If you would rather not discuss on a wiki then you can email me at hapa01@gmail.com --[[User:Hapa|Hapa]] 09:57, 10 July 2006 (MST)

'''Carnie''' is completely unrelated to OT, so I went looking for a temporary home; you can see it now [http://www.editthis.info/Carnie/Main_Page here]. With all respect to the host, he's taken on a heavy load and I'd probably prefer working with someone (a) with more experience as a MediaWiki honcho and (b) more of an active interest in this particular project.
 +
 +
Meanwhile, ''I'' took on a pretty heavy load just customizing MediaWiki-space for the project; then got discouraged when I ran into technical difficulties. I'm ashamed to see I've written next to nothing about the project itself. Wait a day or so and I'll at least scribble in a page of ideas. If the project appeals to you, we'll go from there.

Hi Hapa,

I am interested in installing the Polls extension in my MediaWiki wiki. Yours is the only site I could find that runs it. Would you be able to give me some links to existing polls you've used so I can have a look at them in action? I couldn't find anything by searching for "poll"... :)

Hi Kolomono, I was wondering how you made your ISBN links pop out a preview window out showing the book for sale on amazon. Is there an extension for this somewhere? Also, I saw above that someone asked how you made the bookmark sidebar, I was wondering the samething also. I have a wiki running at [http://www.wikistock.com www.wikistock.com]. I appreciate any help you can provide about this. Thanks--[[User:Rovo|Rovo]] 07:00, 22 February 2007 (MST)

I agree that spam is a plague and I'm glad you found some sort of a solution; but it's cumbersome. Suggest you apply the captcha only to new and unregistered users.

Social Bookmarks

Hi Kolomona. I'm creating a new wiki (it's not up yet) and I was wondering how you created the social bookmark frame along the left side of Open Tutorial? Were you able to add it to monobook.php? Dryguy 08:26, 15 June 2006 (MST)

I am interested in installing the Polls extension in my MediaWiki wiki. Yours is the only site I could find that runs it. Would you be able to give me some links to existing polls you've used so I can have a look at them in action? I couldn't find anything by searching for "poll"... :)
