[edit] Reposted from en:Talk:Main page
I wasn't sure where to post this, but could someone fix the text "Česká" on the wikipedia.org page (not this main page, rather the first page you come to when typing 'wikipedia.org' into your browser). It should read "Česky" , meaning [in] Czech. -- Hexagon1 14:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm just reposting the comment here, where people may be able to do something about it. Rspeer 22:56, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interwiki NUMBEROFARTICLES variable
Please see (and perhaps vote for) Bug 1534, which requests the ability to include the number of articles in another Wikimedia wiki, via the {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} variable. This bug would enable us to automate this page, probably with help from the {{foreach}} and {{equal}} templates. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 23:51, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Come to think of it, since these templates consist of plain, unparsed HTML code, we can't automate it using the templates alone, but once this bug is fixed, we could revive Www.wikipedia.org portal and automate things that way. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 01:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- If we don't automate it, can we at least go back to a rounding convention, where we don't bother to update the larger Wikipedia's except for each 5 or 10,000 additional articles? There's no need for updating every time another 1,000 articles is written on some language edition. - Taxman 19:03, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

- What we did before wasn't rounding, though: it was just keeping two significant figures rather than truncating at the thousands place. What that meant back then was that we truncated at the ten-thousands place for the 100,000+ editions, and at the thousands place for the 10,000+ editions. I think I'd be alright with truncating at the ten-thousands place from now on, since the top 10 are all above 100,000 now. But note that it's not the same as rounding: 219,000+ can't be rounded to 220,000+, because they don't have more (+) than 220,000 articles yet. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 22:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- Well yes, I meant truncating, I just wasn't being specific. - Taxman 23:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Forseti formatting
When/if is the Forseti formatting dicussed back in February coming in? Andrevan 23:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- It wasn't exactly agreed upon, if I remember correctly. Maybe it's time to bring that issue back up, but I have a feeling that this design's already kind of established, since it's been up for so long. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 22:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Horizontal scrollbar on SeaMonkey
I'm running SeaMonkey 1.0, a Gecko browser like Firefox. The current portal page is sprouting a horizontal scrollbar on my 1280x800 screen - the scrollbar can't even be perceptably moved and there's no content out of view, but I just thought I'd note that. -- Mithent 11:22, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I get this in Firefox 1.5 too. It's a CSS issue: the
divthat contains the sister project links is set to have a width of100%, which probably causes rounding errors. I've attempted to "fix" the issue at the temp page by setting the width slightly smaller: to99%. Now we need to wait for a Meta administrator to approve the change and incorporate it into Www.wikipedia.org template. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 22:31, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

- Looks better now. Thanks! -- Mithent 11:36, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] italian
Hi folks! The label "articoli" (section "Italiano") has to be replaced with "voci", the italian word for encyclopedic content ("articoli" is used for newspapers), see this discussion. Thank you. --Iron Bishop 14:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- I've corrected in "voci" the italian entry. Thank you. --M/ 16:38, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] thumb.php
Please stop using thumb.php. You can just link directly to the thumbnail image on upload.wikimedia.org. It's much faster and it has a 404 handler that will regenerate the image in case it has been deleted by MediaWiki. -- Tim Starling 04:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
