TheWikiWizard!

TheWikiWizard’s cool!

(TWW Main Page - Talk - TWW Lite - Code of Conduct - Drafting Station - Created by つがる)

Welcome to the third issue of TheWikiWizard! For this issue, we have decided to renovate the newspaper and give it a formatting update. Also, User:PorkchopGMX has joined the crew! The What's Hot section is not just humor anymore and there is a new code of conduct (more rules to follow for the fellows behind the paper) found here. Also, did you see our front page? It looks a lot nicer! (Alright, Internal News done.) Anyways, let's go to the actual newspaper.

What’s Hot

Humor!

Guess it’s only me then...

Did you vote for Oshwah during the mid-term elections? Great! Now celebrate his success during Veteran's Day. (yes i'm reusing the same image)

• I voted for Oshwah during the mid-term elections, and you should too! (this is probably going to get old)
• Thegooduser seems to be inactive... at least I now have control over everything... -PorkchopGMX

• ... but then Thegooduser comes back after millions of years of being inactive. "Just visiting the Dinosaur age"

• Someone gave birth to a...?
• Happy Veteran's Day!

Topic Swap

TheGoodUser gives PorkchopGMX a topic about Wikipedia and PorkchopGMX talks about it, and vice versa.

Thegooduser’s Topic (given by PorkchopGMX): What do you think about WP:BJAODN and consensus shifting away from it? (No seriously) (consensus has determined that BJAODN is encouraging vandalism and now you have to add BJAODN to an external wiki. What do you think of that?)

Thegooduser’s Discussion: If anything on Wikipedia encourages vandals to vandalize, then it needs to be removed ASAP.

PorkchopGMX’s Topic (given by Thegooduser): PorkchopGMX, what do you think about paid editing?

PorkchopGMX’s Discussion: Well, paid editing is fine in some cases (like being paid to do editing about something not related to the payer), but it must be disclosed to everybody involved. Some paid editors have edited articles and the editors have conflicts of interest, and that is strongly discouraged.

2. Name a page in the TimedText namespace.

3. Who created the “founder” user right?

4. Name every red link example you know.

Lastly...

We need your help. We still only have 2 contributors to TheWikiWizard, and if one of them goes away for a bit, that severely affects the development of each month’s newspaper. So please, sign up on the talk page or Thegooduser’s talk page, because this newspaper would be much harder to work on if few people worked on it. Thank you!
