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)
Re:welcome
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?
