:For now I've decided to leave this alone. If/when there's a need the template exists or another one can be created, or it can be done by some other means altogether. If the contributors read the info carefully enough there shouldn't be a big problem anyway.--[[Special:Contributions/75.131.4.85|75.131.4.85]] 17:42, 18 April 2012 (MDT) | :For now I've decided to leave this alone.

::OK, that sounds fine. It might not be a bad idea to see if we can add that message by default to all Talk pages.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 19:03, 18 April 2012 (MDT) | ::OK, that sounds fine.

| + | :::Other wikis that I edit use only four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) to generate a date stamped signature. If we are going to use a tilde shortcut here, I believe it should conform to the standards used elsewhere so there is no confusion. If the two dashes are needed for some reason here, then they should be automatically added to the signature output, not prepended to the input string. | ||

I've been thinking of more ways to drum up some interest/activity here. The page [[Turning questions into articles]] is an excellent concept and could be a really good way to show someone new to the wiki just how easily an article can be started. Could it be made more visible? Maybe a link on the Main page, or as part of the [[9 things you need to know about the Crankshaft Coalition wiki]], or ?--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 02:25, 19 April 2012 (MDT) | I've been thinking of more ways to drum up some interest/activity here.
