This is Jeff's talk page.
Request
Hi Jeff,
Just thought I'd run this up the flagpole... any thought about installing the ParserFunctions extension? I think this site could benefit from a few templates that would aid in indexing/categorizing the entries as content is migrated, and ParserFunctions would make some really impressive things possible... but installing any extension or not would be up to you.
Also, do you have any feelings about us users creating templates in the Template namespace, which we could use to maintain the content? Just wanted to get your thumbs-up before/if I did something like that. Just want to play nice. Love the site, and the new wiki format.

- ParserFunctions are awesome, yup! --Philosopher Let us reason together. 06:56, 1 August 2012 (EDT)
Robots.txt
I'm not sure how to set it up, but if you could edit the robots.txt file to exclude the contents of Category:Noindexed pages? I've created a Sandbox for people to test the unfamiliar features in, and you're probably not going to want that indexed by the search engines. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 08:47, 1 August 2012 (EDT)

Is there any chance of moving the wiki to use /wiki/articlename urls like Wikipedia does rather than the current /wiki/index.php?title=articlename ? --Philosopher Let us reason together. 10:43, 1 August 2012 (EDT)
Bugging you again....
Could you take a look at [1]] and tell me if I'm thinking in about the same way as you are here? Also, I've brought up MediaWiki:Tagline and Explain XKCD:Community portal, as it'd be cool to have a tagline. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 10:46, 1 August 2012 (EDT)
