Thanks for the country code research! Perfect
Thanks for all the research and re-categorization - I think that's the perfect solution: following the internationally recognized standard. Great. --Aerik Sylvan 11:01, 7 Apr 2005 (PDT)
Style center not showing up right - is it me?
I saw you changed it to the style/css thing - I think that's what I had before, and it looks like it only centering the text inside the table cells - maybe it's Firefox? I'll go open the page in Explorer and look...--Aerik Sylvan 19:58, 8 Apr 2005 (PDT)
- It is the same as you had...let me look in FF. <later> yep, it's a Firefox thing..I reverted it for now --webseo 19:59, 8 Apr 2005 (PDT)
I think this is pretty cool...new <urlname_www> tags
I wrote some stuff so the search strips out the www's, but then puts them back in for links. What happens is when you "Add" something with a "www." at the front, it automagically uses the tags <urlname_www> and </urlname_www> instead of the usual. These tags add the www back on to the links, but it is not actually included in the listing. This was much easier than not showing them in the various views. What do you think?--Aerik Sylvan 02:42, 10 Apr 2005 (PDT)
- Looks good. See my comments at Whitemud.us talk page (http://www.wikidweb.com/index.php?title=Talk:Whitemud.us&rcid=1071).
- PS. How do I link to this talk page by using an internal link?
- --webseo 07:54, 10 Apr 2005 (PDT)
- Internal links have two brackets and only the namespace and page name, like this Talk:Whitemud.us (wikitext is [[Talk:Whitemud.us]]) or this Whitemud talk page (your link can be different from the targe, like external links [[Talk:Whitemud.us | Whitemud talk page]]) and regular pages have no namespace, Whitemud.us ([[Whitemud.us]]) --Aerik Sylvan 10:06, 10 Apr 2005 (PDT)
Internal link format reminder
Hi! Internal links are like this: [[User:Webseo]] --> User:Webseo
:-)
P.S. Love your help for regional categories - I added it to the Category Help page. Okay?
--Aerik Sylvan 01:04, 15 Apr 2005 (PDT)
- Thanks again. I looked everywhere for where you gave the examples before. Obviously, I didn't look here though. I tried to search for "internal link wiki" and I didn't see this page. Let me try that again. Yep, this page doesn't show up for "internal link wiki" (without the quotes) and only got 4 results, but not this page. If I searched for "internal link" (without the quotes) and I find this page. I guess the search engine doesn't see wikitext as wiki. Oh well, thanks again.
- I thought I tried to make the links the way you show in your examples above, but I must have messed up the namespace part. Let me try it again over on Category Talk:Regional (well that link worked, does it work if I use the "underscore"? Category_talk:Regional? Yep).
- <added later> Here is the way I was trying to link to the wiki USPS.com page from the Category Talk:Regional USPS.com 2 letter US State codes. This doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? (see below)
- <added later>I figured this part of linking out. I left out the "pipe" separator. Is there some rule on when you need to include that? Always on internal links? (whoops, I edited that in FF without being logged in)
- Yep, a link from Category Help page is a good thing!

Foreign websites - ideas on how to list?
Well, here's my thinking - as long as the description is good enough that we can categorize it, I think it's okay. It's kind of frustrating to not be able to verify what the website is about, although you can kind of get an idea. I was trying to figure if several of them should be under "startbewijs", but it kind of looks like that's a free hosting site or something. So, I think they're okay... what's your take on it?
I do think we should flag foreign language sites though, add a catgory called (maybe) "Non-English Websites", and put each language under it "Danish" etc). I don't really want to go the dmoz way and have a whole separate category structure (and it wouldn't really work with the way our categories work anyway)...
Of course, that plan has the flaw of being friendly to people looking for non-english sites (the can look in the "danish" category, for example) but not for people only wanting English listings. Any ideas?
I guess we don't have to decide now, but...
Thanks!--Aerik Sylvan 17:49, 20 Apr 2005 (PDT)
P.S. Awhile back you asked about making the part of the description showing the url a link - did you want me to do that? Is it good/bad/indifferent for seo purposes to have two links to the same place on the same page?
- I think that sounds good for the non-english language sites. I will give it a bit more thought, but that's a good start. As far as the URL being a link, let me think some more on that. --webseo 20:02, 21 Apr 2005 (PDT)
