Help talk:Add an entry

Any opinion on changing the "Go" button to an "Add" button? --Aerik Sylvan 00:05, 18 Mar 2005 (PST)

Sounds good to me - Aerik read me
I just emailed you about the "Go" button. I think either "Add" or "Submit" would be good.
Can you make an internal link open in a new window? If so, the "Add an entry" help link on the submit form page, needs one. I just entered a site to see how it works and I lost most of my entry when I tried to get to help during the submission process.

More guidelines...
I'm thinking of adding at the top, and maybe making these all bullet points:
This site (the Wiki Directory of the Web) is a unique directory - anyone can add an entry and it is included in real-time - but like all directories, it exists to provide objective, useful information. Adding an entry is easy, and it can be as very basic, or very detailed.
When adding an entry, feel free to point out a site's strenghts and special features. Descriptions like "has an extensive collection of tutorials" or "featuring free turorials" are great, but please do not use marketing jargon such as "best tutorials on the internet" or "number one site for free tutorials".
Case Sensitive
I have submitted some sites in the form www.OneWordAnotherWord.tld When I tried to change a listing writing in the "Add" box: www.onewordanotherword.tld I found out that this is case sensitive. I have to write it www.OneWordAnotherWord.tld
But the urls are not case sensitive. Can you change this ?
Can't add new entries
When I try to add new entries (or even preview them) I get: "You need to enter more information before you can save this entry". No indication of what fields are missing (I have filled all visible fields) --Wikikiwi 19:09, 24 Oct 2006 (MDT)
- Sorry, some of the anti-spam mechanisms are purposefully vague to make it harder for the bad guys to plan around them. You just need a longer links text and/or description. Best Regards, --Aerik Sylvan 23:46, 24 Oct 2006 (MDT)
how can I add URLs?
1) how can I add URLs?
2) I have 18 Soccer URLs, they are mirrors (and translated) mirrors from www.soccerhighway.com
can I add them all? Where ? Dont want to be seen as spammer listing mirrors, but they might be useful for someone.....

- Hmm... we don't really have a policy for this yet, other than please don't add every web-page - just the main url for the website. If you have different domains or subdomains, etc., for the different languge mirrors... I guess I think it would be best to create one listing then add links in that listing for the mirrors, and add the appropriate language categories. But I'm open to other suggestions. --Aerik Sylvan 22:38, 3 Dec 2007 (PST)
