S.A.M. 03-05-07, 04:08 PM Ok I did something wrong The Science & Society link on this page http://www.sciforums.com/encyclopedia/Special:Allpages Goes to the Science page instead of the Science and Society page.

Edit: Figured it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Reverting#How_to_revert Plazma Inferno! 03-06-07, 03:49 AM Ok I did something wrong The Science & Society link on this page http://www.sciforums.com/encyclopedia/Special:Allpages Goes to the Science page instead of the Science and Society page. How do I correct this? You should put 'and' instead of '&'. Also, try to use letters, not numbers and signs to avoid this happens. S.A.M. 03-06-07, 04:57 AM You should put 'and' instead of '&'. Also, try to use letters, not numbers and signs to avoid this happens. I did. Its Science and Society. I just wanted Science & Society to point to the same page. leopold99 03-07-07, 02:33 AM help! http://sciforums.com/showpost.php?p=1318068&postcount=108 Plazma Inferno! 03-07-07, 03:18 AM help! http://sciforums.com/showpost.php?p=1318068&postcount=108 Title must go with 'and' instead '&'.

A wiki is dependent on as many edits as possible. By making ridiculous articles other people that normally are not inclined to edit will feel inclined to edit. And there is no point in copying wikipedia. James R 03-07-07, 07:41 PM Is it possible to use TeX in the encylopaedia? Wikipedia does this using <math></math> tags. The Devil Inside 03-07-07, 07:47 PM i want some references that cruise missles bomb civilian targets on this page: http://www.sciforums.com/encyclopedia/Cruise_missiles edit: i would like to think that the posters make a serious attempt with our encyclopedia. unlike the devil inside that posted i drink my own pee. real brilliant numbnuts. i have no idea what you are talking about. leopold99 03-07-07, 09:24 PM spurious!

Now it does, but not when I made the redirect. Plazma Inferno! 03-08-07, 05:30 AM Is it possible to use TeX in the encylopaedia? Wikipedia does this using <math></math> tags. Yes it's possible, with same tags. :) Also, there are TEX/Favorites as a little help. leopold99 03-09-07, 03:46 AM what does "rss" and "atom" mean? Plazma Inferno! 03-09-07, 03:58 AM what does "rss" and "atom" mean? They're 'feeds'. Here's the definition: RSS is an XML-based format (using the Resource Description Framework (RDF) - a language for representing information about resources in the World Wide Web) that allows the syndication of lists of hyperlinks, along with other information, or metadata, that helps viewers decide whether they want to follow the link. RSS allows a person's computer to fetch and understand the information, so that all of the lists that person is interested in can be tracked and personalized for them. or Rich Site Summary / Really Simple Syndication is a medthod to syndicate your site content. This is done by creating an XML document which summarizes specific site content such as news, blog posts or comments and forum threads. An example of RSS/XML syndication would be PR3.co.uk's Blog Feed. Athelwulf 03-09-07, 08:52 PM I'd like it fixed so an article's title can have the ampersand (&) in the title. I think Wikipedia has this capability. It's slightly annoying not having this capability on our wiki as well. I also would like to be able to upload pictures (http://www.sciforums.com/encyclopedia/Special:Upload), please! Athelwulf 03-09-07, 08:55 PM yeah...how come the founding farthers and mothers who supported sciforums with their meaningfull and pointless posts...how come they are not mentioned in sciforums wiki??? :bawl: Porfiry tiassa tablariddim Oxygen draqon 03-09-07, 09:20 PM I also would like to be able to upload pictures (http://www.sciforums.com/encyclopedia/Special:Upload), please! yeah sure on whose resources? and servers...
