Minor nit

Resolved

Why is Wikipedia: Vanity page under "W"? Should be under "V", correct? (Yes, I'm relatively new, and don't know how to change it myself, if category pages can be changed by non-admins.)--Canuckguy 17:24, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Seems that article has been renamed & re-categorized. Libcub (talk) 06:09, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How to rally support?

Stale

In the multiposting guideline it says:

"I rally you, my fellow hamster-lovers! Come and support me in my proposal to give all hamsters the same rights as men at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Hamsters. Please limit discussion to that page, however."

as an example of how to rally support for a particular idea. Yet, I see editors/administrators criticizing others for rallying support by posting notices to other editors' talk pages.

Does the guideline mean that it is 'ok' to rally support by posting notices to article/category talk pages, but the practice (not policy or guideline have I found) is that it is not ok to rally support by posting notices to users' talk pages and you will be urgently attacked if you do so.

Funny thing

It seems strange that Talk:Muhammad's slaves sat here on the list of pages in the Wikipedia Guidelines category for some nine months and no one did anything about it. (Someone added WP:AGF with double braces instead of double square brackets to that article back in March.) —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting

"Wikipedia" is sorting under "WikiProject", and "Avoid" appears under W. —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps unfortunately, in the default sort, capital letters sort before lowercase letters. I have asked for a sort key option in the Template:Guideline. I don't see any "Avoids" on the page; did you see that on a different page? Libcub (talk) 05:19, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Main category missing?

This article starts with a big tag, calling attention to Category:Wikipedia official policy. Which redlinks!
I'm really new here, and don't know where it should link, but I'd like to know...Tøpholm (talk) 21:15, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Was quickly fixed by Good Ol’factory. Not sure if I should just delete this section now...Tøpholm (talk) 01:28, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
