}If you can work similar magic on the design of Wikipedia:Contents, that could be marvellous. Something to tie the pages together, and give it a better chance of potentially being added to the sidebar in the future.
Also, I've been thinking it might be easier to just add a template like this {{ Reference pages project}} to each page, than starting a whole seperate wikiproject. (I need more coffee though, so who knows... ;) -- Quiddity 20:15, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
So what is appropriate for the lists of lists page? — [ Unsigned comment added by Boback ( talk • contribs).]
I'm a bit concerned about the choice of links on this template, considering the way it's being added to a number of very visible pages. In particular, there has been a strong consensus against the insertion of any reference to the "good article" process on the featured article pages in the past; such prominent placement of links to that page would seem to give it something of an inappropriate air of legitimacy.
(On a more trivial point, the manual list of A-Class articles hasn't been maintained in ages, so linking to it isn't very useful.) Kirill Lokshin 05:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

You may want to look into your sub-page which was deleted previously. It's listed on the speedy deletion list again. Michael 16:32, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Just want to tell you that one userboxe that you have adopted has been moved back to template space. See User:Freethinker (and dont' tell Tony). Might want to re-adopt, or else the user will probably get blocked. Kind of odd to. - Royalguard11( Talk· Desk) 23:19, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Pursuant to Transhumanist's changes to the page colours again, and because it's been bugging me for a while, please see this thread Wikipedia talk:Contents#Page colouring. Thanks :) -- Quiddity 22:25, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
In the geography section, there's a techspot ad where the arctic map should be. The weird thing is, the map seems to be in place (clicking on the image leads to the map). I can't track down the ad in order to revert the vandalism! Please see if you can track it down. -- The Transhumanist 23:23, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up about Category talk:Glossaries#Transfer to Wictionary?. After seeing how frustrated the proposer was with our opposition, I decided to research the issue and found that copying the glossaries to Wiktionary doesn't necessarily mean removing them from Wikipedia. I've added my support, with the condition that the glossaries remain on Wikipedia. -- The Transhumanist 09:19, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Reducing the map table size worked, at Overviews. Thanks :) - Quiddity 01:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Since it is really just a huge redundant list (much of which was built by copying other lists), I've started to trim the List of reference tables, replacing section contents with see-links. If you work on it, be sure not to lose any links (instead, transfer them to the appropriate page), unless they didn't belong in the first place (such as non-list articles, for example). -- The Transhumanist 16:29, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
The only change I made was to keep the TOC links to the same page. Navigating off-page from a TOC can be very confusing and misleading. The links under the headings allow the readers to decide if they want to leave the current page or browse some other topics there first.

Hi Rfrisbie, thank you so much for your kind offer to help with the userboxes. Another person recently created them. Since I have been on an attempted wikibreak for most of October, I have not been able to update my userpage. Thanks again for the kind offer.. -- Lost (talk) 03:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

It appears that I shouldn't do the "tl" or "tlp" replacing anymore, I have received complaints. Peter O. ( Talk) 00:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I'd be more than happy to help! I've never worked on a portal before, so I might make some mistakes. I'm not sure how to make a section, but I'm looking around for info. It would probably be faster for someone else to create it, but if need be I probably can. At any rate, once the section is up I'd be quite happy to update it regularly (I'm on wiki pretty much every day). -- Pharaoh Hound (talk) 13:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi - thanks for your reply. I'm in agreement with you over creating a list of terms and I would prefer that categories not be used. Individual articles for individual terms is not suitable for Wikipedia - that's up Wiktionary's ally. Cheers, Rama's arrow 16:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I don't recall seeing a conversation on any of the related talk pages about changing colors. You should really discuss those changes; I for one prefer the blue on WP:FPC. You should revert your color changes until you actually ask for consensus about it on each of those pages' talk. ♠ SG →Talk 02:32, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I was working on Military slang when I ran out of steam last night. My next steps were going to be:
I'm headed out of town for a few days and then will have some commitments at work that will likely keep me from putting much time into the project for a while. If you have some spare time to help work on the page, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your support during the proof of concept.

Hi Rfrisbie. Rather than trying to work out the logic for randomly determining each entry in a 'did you know' list and recalculating duplicates I would suggest either:
Let me know if I haven't explained these well or you would like some help setting something up. -- CBD 01:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
