Sorry for todays outage of some 1,5 hours in duration. I had to do some maintenance work. Actually I did really dirty hack of sed:ing the mysqldump and reloading it. I change two things:
#The project namespace used to be "Consumerium" now it is "Consudev". I haven't done any redirections for the old article names because according to a brief Google search no outside sites linked to any of the articles in the old "Consumerium"-namespace. This change of the project namespace was to "make way" or clarify the the difference of this wiki from the implementation wiki, which will use Consumerium as it's project-namespace.
#My nick back to the old form, sans the "h". I'm trying to recooperate from my multiple-nickonality-disorder
::Please make this [[Develop:]], [[Research:]] and [[Publish:]] for the three different projects.  Among other things this makes it very easy for other projects to copy structure.  "Consudev" means simply nothing.
'''Please report to me if this has broken something.''' sincerely, [[User:Juxo|Juxo]] The Chief Gardener of Consumerium Gardeners and your loyal [[Lowest Troll]]

Today I've been trying to get [[Templates]] and [[Categories]] to cooperate in such a way that pages could be tagged with a template that automatically lists it in a category so that we could coordinate cleaning this wiki up, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I'll work on the issue though I'm quite busy trying to get through a book on [[marketing]] that I have an exam on on monday.

I'll work on the issue though I'm quite busy trying to get through a book on [[marketing]] that I have an exam on on monday. But today I got evidence that sometimes studying pays off. I run across a mention of [[Consumer Reports]] while reading for the exam. An independent organisation that's been protecting and advicing [[consumer]]s since [[1936]] is surely a notable player and thus it's web-publicationclearly belongs in [[Essential projects]] unlike some obscure crap that's populated the [[Essential projects]]-article
 
The friendly folks at #mediawiki @ freenode informed me that this is a known bug and to get the [[Category]] to display those pages that have been categorized into it a category link embedded into the template need to be edited without any changes made and saved and then the category link starts to work.

I plan to weave some sense into this wiki soon by organising the information and putting the overtly [[trollist]] content into a realistical perspective (Now one could ask how realistical is it to say that I'm going to single-handedly [[detrollify]] the wiki :p ) --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 21:39, 18 Aug 2005 (GMT)

::[[We, trolls]], will resist all the way.  What is realistic is that trolls have won all their battles on [[large public wiki]]s, and that today, the [[New Troll point of view]] is accepted as being required to undo [[systemic bias]].  Even at Wikipedia there are projects to undo systemic bias, and, there are [[arbitration committee]]s, and those who were anti-troll, e.g. [[Eric Moeller]], [[Daniel Mayer]], have been [[driven off by trolls]] mostly.
::Why would you wish to attack material which is correct, to replace it with crap (like "virtual community") which is wrong?
