Thanks for the welcoming message. I came here to get some information, but as a wiki addict, I couldn't resist adding my two cents :) By the way, the message above reminded me: While I was creating [[Template:Person]], I felt the need for [[mw:Extension:ParserFunctions|Extension:ParserFunctions]]. They would be very useful for many tasks with templates, namely standardization/automation of information adding, navigation, etc. Could you provide that the extension is installed/enabled on this wiki? Other extension that is quite useful/time-saving is [[mw:Extension:Interwiki|Extension:Interwiki]], for providing shortcut prefixes for commonly linked pages, in the form <tt><nowiki>[[site:pagename]]</nowiki></tt>. Also, it would be great if you could define <tt>[[mw:Manual:$wgUseInstantCommons|$wgUseInstantCommons = true;]]</tt> in LocalSettings.php, so we can use images from [[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]].

Hi Zeno: It seems that math formula in Latex is not supported in this wiki. Is it possible to enable the supported so that we can write description for details? --Tianqi Chen

Hi, this is a very good suggestion. I will ask Alan to enable it. --Zeno Gantner 09:55, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcoming message. I came here to get some information, but as a wiki addict, I couldn't resist adding my two cents :) By the way, the message above reminded me: While I was creating Template:Person, I felt the need for Extension:ParserFunctions. They would be very useful for many tasks with templates, namely standardization/automation of information adding, navigation, etc. Could you provide that the extension is installed/enabled on this wiki? Other extension that is quite useful/time-saving is Extension:Interwiki, for providing shortcut prefixes for commonly linked pages, in the form [[site:pagename]]. Also, it would be great if you could define $wgUseInstantCommons = true; in LocalSettings.php, so we can use images from Wikimedia Commons. Cheers, Waldir (talk) 14:01, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Alan, that'd be great :) On a different subject, I noticed that in the To Do List page there is a "new logo" item. I was wondering if you guys had considered something along the "stand out" concept; for example, [1], [2], [3] or [4]. What are your thoughts about this? Alternatively, has there been any discussions on the subject which I could consult? --Waldir (talk) 17:56, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
