Interwiki visualization
Edit
FYI... we moved "Memory Alpha:Interwiki visualization" to Forum:Interwiki visualization since the Forum: namespace is for announcements+related discussion. They do not belong in the project pages.
Also... The discussion states that these SVG files exist and have been uploaded, but the category is empty, and no sign of them. -- sulfur 13:34, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hey!
- Thanks for moving the page, that's indeed a better place to have it. :)
- And the category has now been populated. I wanted to post the info first and then upload the files.

Ok, now the category is there with images... but... they're being uploaded with broken data, such as:
== Summary ==
[[Project:Interwiki visualization]]
== Licensing: ==
{{[[Category:Interwiki visualization]]}}
The licensing is totally busted, and the summary is worse. It might be an idea to check these things before uploading a few hundred/thousand images with broken details. -- sulfur 13:38, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- Heh. Sorry about that. Forgot the script actually wraps everything in curly brackets. :P I'll correct the description pages with a bot later. --TOR

- Also, we have a "discuss before creation" policy regarding categories... and even just ignoring that, a proper naming scheme for "meta" categories. If anything, the proper categorization would have been Category:Memory Alpha Interwiki visualization - can you fix that? -- Cid Highwind 13:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hey,
- yeah, I'll apply the category change. Thanks for pointing that out. --TOR
