Jason, figured might initiate dialogue regarding design here. Of course we'd like someone professional to do this, but it might be good to look into what's out there as well.

== testing how this works?  ==
confused.
anyways, here's what my students said as they walked by me editing the wiki today at lunch:
"That' looks boring."
and
"Is that Wikipedia?"
HAHA. we should definitely get on the redesign.
== 500 Internal Server Error ==
What the fuck is with all of them? ''Seriously''. [[User:Bbot|Bbot]] 01:40, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Good question. I will see if the logs say anything. --[[User:Jscott|Jscott]] 15:29, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
== Front page prototype, more whining ==
I [[TEMP:Columned frontpage prototype|made a columned version of the front page]]. The about the site column needs to be abridged a bit more, and the current events column is actually [[Archiveteam:Current_events]], and needs to be greatly expanded. It also is a ''direct'' copy of the wikipedia front page, and could stand to be a bit less pastel-ly.
But it works, and is already more elegant at conveying information than the current front page.
Also! I get 500 errors whenever I try to add a vanity picture to my userpage. My enormous ego demands an end to these errors! --[[User:Bbot|Bbot]] 16:50, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
== Dealing with all the spam ==
It's become all but impossible to use this wiki due to the volume of spam. Can you/we do something about it please? [[User:Adewale|Adewale]] 21:21, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
* Agreed. I am trying to find the best solution. --[[User:Jscott|Jscott]] 03:00, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
** I have installed Recaptcha. --[[User:Jscott|Jscott]] 18:55, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

== Encyclopedia Dramatica ==
Hi. Did you hear what happened to [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]? I created a wiki Page, updated the Deathnotice Section and added ED to the WikiTeam-Table. Feedback would be nice. --[[User:Kyra|Kyra]] 00:06, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

== Fighting spam ==
[[User:Hydriz|Hydriz]] is a Wikipedia veteran and has helped us to tag spam pages for deletion for a long time. If you give him sysop privileges, he would delete the junk quickly. [[User:Emijrp|Emijrp]] 15:55, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
