Main page

Hi Piotr - we saw you added large text to the top of the main page about "Incomplete pages." We removed this as we want to keep the main page clean -- the whole Wiki has plenty of *lot* of incomplete pages and you should add them to the Wikifuture pages. But the pages you added aren't on the original Wiki - it looks like you made them yourself? Where did you get them from? Some of them would be good to complete (Kleisma and so on), but others seem strange to me, like 0/0, which I haven't heard many people try to use as a legit musical interval.

That's like having a dirty house inside and removing the sign that it needs cleaning. This wiki needs more edo articles to progress but I can't add placeholders anymore because there are already several. And I don't know how to add additional info to the "Table of..." articles (see Category:Interval list).

I thought you were saying the MediaWiki import from the old wiki was incomplete or somehow screwed up. I didn't realize you were just saying the Wiki is in general a work in progress (which is true). I changed the language on the front page to make that clearer. I just didn't want a big thing like that at the top of the page, since it seemed like there was an error in the import or something wrong with the site, rather than a general call to create new pages.

Also, what do you mean by not being able to add info to those articles? They should be editable using either the visual editor or regular editor...

The 31edo page has lots of info. The 107edo page is lacking in info. I just don't know what is notable or what commas it tempers out. PiotrGrochowski (talk) 16:20, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Piotr

Great to see you here :) --Xenwolf (talk) 09:22, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Why Coming soon?

Hi Piotr,
what's the idea behind pages like this?
From my long-year wiki experience, it's better to start not too many pages at once, it's hard to keep them up to date.
Best, --Xenwolf (talk) 17:07, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

It's so the users can see what xen.wiki was in the past. I repeat: Coming soon PiotrGrochowski (talk) 18:23, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

FYI Piotr, while I am happy to give you room to do your thing, I think pages like "Coming soon" will be confusing to new users. I appreciate your sense of humor though, and think lots of your ideas are pretty funny (love calling the logo "The Xen"!), and you have been really helpful in creating new content here for the new Wiki.

dev.xen.wiki

Piotr, just FYI, dev.xen.wiki is a testing page for us to do development stuff. Feel free to play around and make changes there, but just know that any changes there aren't permanent - we will periodically wiping that wiki clean and refreshing it with new stuff. Sometimes we will import the "en" wiki there, sometimes "es", etc, for us to test changes... Mike Battaglia (talk) 17:09, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

You can't however test hard redirects, as they don't work in dev.xen.wiki. PiotrGrochowski (talk) 17:20, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Piotr - the thing you are calling "hard redirects" are really "interwiki redirects." If you want to link to dev, you can do dev:Main_Page, for example. If you put ":en" in a redirect on the dev wiki, it will simply redirect to the English language wiki. Mike Battaglia (talk) 18:04, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

I'm calling that "hard redirects" because it has a similar effect to "hard redirects" in wikispaces, see http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/wiki+help#x-Using%20links-Redirects. And you're wrong that :en: in dev.xen.wiki will redirect to en.xen.wiki, because dev:2 1 does not work. PiotrGrochowski (talk) 18:11, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
