Revision as of 15:02, 26 November 2005
Welcome to my talk page. Feel free to leave a comment. I will answer everything that's posted here.
He shoots; he Underscores!
Out of curiosity: I've noticed people making edits like that one often, replacing underscores and %-giberish in links. In your edit it makes a lot of sense because the underscore was seen, but what about in piped links? I.e. is there a problem with, say, [[Some_page_with_many_word%27s#A_subsection|this]]? Is [[Some page with many word's#A subsection|this]] preferable, and if so why? —AbdiViklas 18:54, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- Hm. I think that, as long as the link looks good (for example, with no visible underscores) then I don't think it really matters. As far as I know, there isn't any official wiki policy regarding underscores in links. — Kilroy / talk 19:22, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Deleting images
Hi there Kilroy. When fixing images, it's best to reupload an image with the same exact filename to replace an older version. This way, historic pages are not without current images. And remember, space is not an issue, so deleting old revisions isn't really necessary either, especially since not deleting them preserves the images' history. And of course, image deletion cannot be undone, so everything is permanent. And out of curiosity, what was wrong with those images that needed fixing? -- Tom 22:50, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
