Thank you for your welcome personal message.: What a nice gesture of welcome!
I love the Wiki philosophy and the freedom of it.: Good thing about this "freedom" is very educational in many ways.; It provides us with an opportunity to contemplate on what comes with a package of freedom, how to use and control such powerful tool as freedom.; By participating in Wiki, I believe there are lots of things for us to learn about real life freedom as well.
Freedom isn't easy. Freedom doesn't come free.: To be truely free, each of us has to contribute our time and effort, and to become part of active creation just like each citizen has its own responsiblity in the real free world.
I chose MediaWiki program for my new site as I love the freedom of it.: But, of course, I as an adminstrator, have to work harder to present free and fairly comfortable environment while requesting new members to participate in its creation from the scratch.
There are packages that are readily usable and easy to manipulate. You pay the money for those packages.: They are easier to use but confines our creativity within a set frame.; It may be comfortable, but allows us no diversions, and provides participants with no sense of involvement.
The freedom that Wiki presents online reflects our real life.: The choice between a coumfortable couch with TV set, or a open air and soil with lots of imagination.; With Wiki, we create tools along as we create our free world.; It also teaches us that we must learn the system and actively participate in it to move the system -- isn't this very true for our life experience (i.e., organization, government, and corporation, science, technoologies, languages, etc.)?!

With great appreciation and applaudes to all those who are making this possible --Kohyin 23:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is "you have a new message" extension avaialble for MediaWiki?

I noteiced the "you have a new message" notice. Is this available for other Wiki admins to use as an extension or as a hack?

I also like this idea of helpme codes. Is this function available for others to use as well?

Thank you in advance for your kind help.

According to a developer, this is part of the base install of MediaWiki. If you need help with MediaWiki, you can read more information at <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki>. There is also an IRC channel on freenode, #mediawiki —Centrx→talk • 00:24, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kohyin,

I'm not too familiar with the MediaWiki software myself, but I asked your questions at the #mediawiki IRC channel, and was told:

The "You have new messages" notice is part of the core code in MediaWiki, and as such already present.
The {{helpme}} notice is just a template and can be created, if needed, just like any other templates. See here for the source code of Template:helpme.

Hope this helps! —Xhantar^Talk 00:37, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads-up that I've responded to your recent questions on my talk page. —Xhantar^Talk 22:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Extra Edit Buttons (XEB)

You are receiving this message because you are on the list of users for extra edit buttons. If you wish to reply to this message please do so on my talk page.

Extra edit buttons has received a significant update today. The most significant change is the introduction of popups for some of these buttons. These are small dialog forms which float over the web page. They allow the user to specify the details of the markup code they want added to the page. For example the popup for the table button allows the user to specify things such as the number of the rows and columns in a table and whether or not there should be a header row. As well as the popups there are some extra buttons and other changes to the way the code works. The documentation for XEB will be updated over the next few days.

If you have any problems with the new version, or suggestions for XEB then please contact me via my talk page. -- Mark S (talk) 09:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
