Looking good.
Looks good.--User:FalseFlagFlag Me 17:39, 7 March 2008 (EST)
- Thanks. If you want any changes, let me know here, at my talk page, or at my talk page on RW. humanbe in 17:57, 7 March 2008 (EST)
- What do you think about links back to the RW user page? And/Or to any announced exterior homepage? The problem is that you then need to fill out that damn confirmation box each time you make an edit.--User:FalseFlagFlag Me 15:47, 9 March 2008 (EST)
- It would be easy to make the links (using {{PAGENAME}}), but, as you say, captcha would then make life miserable. But links to their user pages, talk pages and contribs would make a lot of sense. Shall we try it and see if it gets on our nerves too much? Just say yes and I'll paste the links in a bar across the bottom... humanbe in 17:08, 9 March 2008 (EST)
- Mmmmmm- OK, let's try it.--User:FalseFlagFlag Me 17:46, 9 March 2008 (EST)
- Done. Also made more use of RWW Orange. humanbe in 17:56, 9 March 2008 (EST)
- Oh, and tested - it does not force a "captcha", since there isn't really an "htxtp" thing on the pages themselves. Cool. humanbe in 17:58, 9 March 2008 (EST)
- Hey. That's seriously cool. I mean seriously. Great way to pick up diffs too. Any to insert diffs that don't kick off a "captcha"?--User:FalseFlagFlag Me 18:05, 9 March 2008 (EST)

<-- Thanks! I'm glad I thought of grabbing the logo color for it. As far as diffs, well, I suppose a template that has the htxtp www rw.com/wiki part built in might do it. I'm still not sure this really gets around captcha, though, since I managed to save a page with an EL the second time I edited it with no "security check". Maybe it only kicks in if you actually add or change a link? You might want to sandbox that, and test adding some diffs, then just editng other text, etc. If you want me to make the template, just tell me what to call it.

Thinking of adding "Signs as"? Might be useful, just a thought. humanbe in 04:51, 10 March 2008 (EST)
- I guess so. How many people use a different sig?--User:FalseFlagFlag Me 14:36, 10 March 2008 (EST)
- I guess I was also thinking of the users with "strange" signatures, as well. That is, ones that aren't just silly colors, but use odd characters, like interpreted. Probably no big deal. humanbe in 17:49, 10 March 2008 (EST)
- Ah, I see. Probably be best just to mention them in the appropriate articles? Otherwise there'll be a blank space in most of the boxes.--User:FalseFlagFlag Me 17:56, 10 March 2008 (EST)
