How did you do the sidebar edit? I've been looking through the docs at meta.mediawiki and can't find anything on this (except hacking the php files). Thanks, Fr. John


Hey, thanks. That does help anyway -- I'd forgotten about that page ;-). Fr. John

Good morning Andrew

Thanks for cleaning up my spelling and some of the entries from last night. One question though - I noticed you made the Categories aplhabetical. My idea was to put the larger category "Ethics" first with the subcat "bioethics" second. Is this bad practice on Wikipedia? It makes more sense to me.

New Look

I like the new look on the main page. Very slick!

I wonder if there's any possible way to include another page without using templates. I don't think so, but that would work... I'll have to investigate this later. Fr. John 09:18, 3 Feb 2005 (CST)

Question on Images

I haven't tried yet, but I want to add some images. Do these have to be uploaded from a file on my computer, or can they be imported (provided they're in public domain) from another website? - Joffridus

Okay, now I'm even more confused than I was before. What if it's, say, a photo that was sent out as part of a news release? (I am thinking particularly of a photograph of the Archbishop of Canterbury with the Ecumenical Patriarch that was sent out by the Anglican Communion News Service.)
The best thing would be to write to ACN and ask permission for posting their photo with credit given, and include our URL. Generally speaking, it's considered rude to "hotlink" to photos on other sites since it eats up other folks precious bandwidth. Practically, this wouldn't really be a problem on a low-traffic site like this one, but nevertheless it's not best practice. (I can also make the pages load more slowly). Fr.
