| − | ==Trans fixture discussion/Editing 'User talk' page==
| |
| − | I saw your message on Neighbor's user page, and moved it to the talk page for his user page. You can use a user's talk page for discussions with that user; the user page itself is used to describe the user ("Hi, I'm Jon, I'm a wiki administrator..."). I know this is confusing; the advantage is that, when a user's talk page is altered, that user will get a prominent notification at the top of the screen (and also possibly an email notification). This way, you can use a user's talk page as a messaging system. This is the equivalent of the PM system in a forum, but, since it's public, it's more of a Public Message than a Private Message.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 16:40, 12 February 2012 (MST)

| − | ::In the case where a member's 'User' page has not been created (like Neighbors', yesterday) do I use the 'Discussion' tab of the yet-to-be-created User page for adding a comment, question, etc.?
| |
| − | :::Yes. This is a great way to encourage user engagement on the wiki.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 09:33, 13 February 2012 (MST)

| − | ::::Great. I thought I understood but was wanting to make sure should this come up again.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 10:14, 13 February 2012 (MST)

| − | Camshaft article
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There's already a couple pages pertaining to some part of camshafts ([[Cam and compression ratio compatibility]] and [[Camshaft install tips and tricks]]) under the 'Engine' category.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I want to do an article with an overview of how the camshaft works, along info on the different types of cams and why they came to be, etc.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | My question is, should this be a new category like what was done with 'Quadrajet carburetor', or should it be a page in 'Engine' like the two pages I mentioned above? My concern is creating too many categories.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Or is there a way to use a bulleted list in the different categories, i.e.:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (Engine category, under "C")
| |
| − | *Camshaft page (containing the info I mentioned above like 'How the cam works', 'Types of cams', etc.)
| |
| − | **Cam and compression ratio compatibility page
| |
| − | **Camshaft install tips and tricks page
| |
| − | **Et cetera?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are other instances where this could put pages on a similar subject together under a heading- like the RPO codes we talked about earlier:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *RPO codes (containing an overview, etc.)
| |
| − | **GM RPO build codes
| |
| − | **General Motors build codes
| |
| − | **More GM RPO codes
