"CPC Wiki" vs "CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!"

[Jonathan]

"CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!" is on the Main Page's title meta tag because of https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage, and "[Page name] - CPCWiki" is on other pages because of https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/MediaWiki:Pagetitle

The project namespace is "CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!" which leads to page names like "CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!:About". Do you think maybe "CPCWiki:About" would be neater? You could change this with

Code Select Expand

$wgMetaNamespace = 'CPCWiki'; (or leave that empty and use

Code Select Expand

$wgSitename = 'CPCWiki'; if you prefer the result of that). It's described at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Change_the_name_of_the_wiki

Also, when you're linking to these pages you can use (for example) "[[Project:About]]", instead of either of the two above, so that the links change when the project namespace changes.

Well, yes, but how many pages look 'awkward' (indeed) like that? Is it worth changing?

[Jonathan]

Seven, though I don't think all are used:

• CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!:About
• CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!:Articles and files for deletion
• CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!:General disclaimer
• CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!:Portal
• CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!:Sandbox
• CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!:Searching

• CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!:Site support

I think it would be so easy to change that it would be worth it, even if it's not much of a benefit :-)

[Gryzor]

Yeah, but the side effect is removing the tag line from the page title (which, if I'm being honest, was always meant to be replaced, it was the first thing I thought of when setting the wiki up back almost 19 years ago  )...

[Jonathan]

What do you mean by "removing the tag line from the page title"?

(By the way, the wiki and this forum are both great resources.)

[Gryzor]

The part about the encyclopedia (and thanks - to everyone 😊)

[Jonathan]

Do you mean that the page titles would change to the following?

• CPCWiki:About
• CPCWiki:Articles and files for deletion
• CPCWiki:General disclaimer
• CPCWiki:Portal
• CPCWiki:Sandbox
• CPCWiki:Searching
• CPCWiki:Site support

They would, not as a side effect, but as what I'd like to happen :-) It's not a big deal, but I just thought it might improve the look of things.

About CPCWiki as encyclopedia...

My friend found a bug in tips on how to get  run" on screen...
https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/A_guide_to_running_software_on_a_real_Amstrad_CPC/CPC_Plus_computer


There is:
On a CPC464 system you can press SHIFT and the small ENTER key (on the keypad) together instead of typing RUN"
On a CPC464+, CPC6128, or CPC6128+ system you can press SHIFT and ENTER together instead of typing RUN"

Obviously should be CONTROL not SHIFT. Twice. As we all know.

Phi2x already took care of. 

Generally speaking, everybody can contribute to the Wiki and fix errors or add new information, just sign-up on the Wiki page.

Just a note, registration is broken because email doesn't work, but I can take care of it manually if anyone contacts me.
