Privacy policy

Hi Vaarky! I saw your interest in page ChoralWiki:Privacy_policy. In fact, looking at the logs I saw that this page was created by a spammer on 27 December 2007 and deleted by Robert on the same day; it was recreated 4 days later by the spammer and this time blanked by Robert. So it has never held any information of value, that's why I deleted it. If you wish to work on this page even so, the easiest way would be to copy for instante the text from http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy and make the appropriate changes. Thanks —Carlos mail_icon.gif 16:07, 27 July 2008 (PDT)

Thanks for the information. That's the same place I was thinking of starting. Will try to get you folks a draft soon. --Vaarky 17:08, 27 July 2008 (PDT)

NULLRequests

Hi Vaarky, I made the changes you suggested to those two Request pages, but after they were moved, their talk pages became inaccessible, so I am replying to you here instead. —Carlos mail_icon.gif 12:18, 29 August 2008 (PDT)

Thanks, Carlos. --Vaarky 09:14, 30 August 2008 (PDT)
Does this mean any time you move a page, all the Talk discussion associated with it is lost? If so, is there a way to fix that? I will minimize moving things unless I hear otherwise. --Vaarky 02:12, 6 September 2008 (PDT)
No Vaarky, the problem was only with the Requests talk pages, that were inaccessible because of a server misconfiguration that has already been solved (see here). Usually when you move a page there is an option (checked by default) to also move the talk page, if it exists. —Carlos mail_icon.gif 03:13, 6 September 2008 (PDT)

Notes to Self

See Vaarky/Sandbox

Rod Mather

Hi Vaarky! When editing Rod Mather links, please replace the old links by

  • [{{website|Rod Mather}} {{net}}] PDF and MIDI files.

instead of

  • [{{website|Rod_Mather}} {{extpdf}}] [{{website|Rod_Mather}} {{extmid}}] .<br>

Note that the underscore can be used interchangeably with the space character.
Thanks! —Carlos Email.gif 04:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I defined the variable with the underscore in it, and apparently space and underscore are not interchangeable in that context. I'll just change the variable to Mather (redoing the pages) and punt on the question of underscore versus space.

You were right, in this context the character used surprisingly does make a difference! In other templates, I've been using both characters with no problem, but the parameter is used to form links; in this case it's used as a test inside the {{switch}} function; that probably explains it all. Thanks_again! :) —Carlos Email.gif 05:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

That's why I work hard to avoid spaces in variables--it can lead to complications if nested or not escaped properly.

Link to Psalm

Hi Vaarky. In this edit you added a link to Psalm... did you mean to add a link to a particular Psalm page? I'm afraid I don't know what you were trying to do otherwise I would put it right. --Bobnotts talk 21:04, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

It links to multiple verses, a link to each of which can be found on the Psalm page. What's the best way to link in such a scenario? --Vaarky 22:52, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
