Go back/Go forward

• Maybe we should give some thought about how previous and next links on pages should work. I'm looking at some of the crown tournament pages and I notice the previous and next links skip years. I'm guessing that is because there is no page for the event immediately preceeding or following. It seems like that is asking for trouble down the line. If someone adds the missing page later, the previous link will need to be changed, and the person might not know to do that. What do you think?--Lachlan 09:43, 23 February 2010 (PST)

New Additions

Loved your baron article, it was great! Thanks for all the new additions! --Kolfinna 15:10, 26 February 2009 (PST)

Dreiburgen Category

Hello, Malcolm. Thank you for your excellent work here. Kolfinna and I are experimenting with a new concept: creating a category for the branches of Caid. Since Dreiburgen has so many pages pertaining to it, I went ahead and created the Dreiburgen Category as a test. It seems to work correctly. All you have to do is add [[Category:Dreiburgen]] to a page and the Wiki will add a link at the bottom to an alphabetized list of articles in the category. I already added Dreiburgen, Dreiburgen Armourers Guild and Blue Mountain as part of my test. You can go ahead and add the remainder of the Dreiburgundian articles. Enjoy!--Lachlan 15:36, 25 March 2009 (PDT)

At some point, Kolfinna had determined that it didn't make sense to categorize individual territorial barons' and baronesses' populace pages in the barony's category. "Baronage" pages (like Malcolm and Robynne) should be categorized under the barony.--Lachlan 13:03, 19 December 2009 (PST)

Editor

Given your substantial contribution to the site, I'd like to offer to promote you to editor assigned to maintain Dreiburgen-specific articles. Does that sound good to you?--Lachlan 10:18, 14 May 2009 (PDT)

I would answer yes but I don't know enought about how Wiki works to respond to you.

• It would be pretty similar to what you're already doing: keep the Dreiburgen-related pages up to date and free from errors. It also would mean that you'd be on the Help:Team page, so it is possible someone might contact you to complain... er... request a fix to a Dreiburgen-related page.--Lachlan 14:09, 14 May 2009 (PDT)

• • Sounds good
    • Done. And I also left you a note at Talk:Malcolm Alberic.--Lachlan 10:10, 15 May 2009 (PDT)

Equestrian Pages

I added a new section for Equestrian, with quite a number of categories (equestrian category for events, articles, riders category for people who ride, and horses categories for the actual horses) --Kolfinna 13:27, 17 June 2009 (PDT)

Wiki Editor

Greetings. This is a blanket note being sent to all the Editors of the CaidWiki. It has been approximately a year since most of you have held this position. The editor position on the wiki requires a bit more responsibility than the regular user, as you are a go to resource for people needing help and are a reviewer for the areas allocated to you (as shown on the Help:Team). If you'd like to remain as an editor for another year, please reply to this message. If you'd like to become a regular user (no responsibility, but still have the ability to edit anything any time), please reply to this message. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Thanks! --Kolfinna 11:24, 7 August 2009 (PDT)

Dinosaurs - Photos

• Malcolm, I love this link. There are some great photos there. I have moved a couple into the Wiki and used them. I attributed them to Gorlan since they seem to be on his website. Is this correct or was someone else the photog? (As an aside, some of the thumbnails don't link to the underlying photo, or link to the wrong one. Ah well, beggers can't be choosers.)
• I haven't forgotten about the Heatherwyne info. I just haven't had a moment to sit and organize my thoughs and put something on paper. It's on the list. Now, if the list just wasn't so LONG.  :-)
