User talk:Kristinpedia~enwikinews

Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

rss feeds
What do you want to know? Bawolff ☺☻ 22:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * While it depends on what type of rss feed you want. Most query pages are automatic (pages like special:newpages, etc). The history tab on all pages also automatrically have an rss feed. For our main feed (and our category feeds, although for cats you can do something with special:recentchangeslinked), we have a feed on an external site (updated by bot). and then attach it by javascript (this could be done somewhere in php as well):

document.write(''); in mediawiki:common.js. (note: if you do that from an onoad event you have to do it slighty differently). You can also just create an rss feed by hand on some wikipage (say foo.rss) and serve as http://example.com/w/index.php?tite=Foo.rss&action=raw&ctype=application/rss+xml (for it to serve as the correct mimetype you have to edit a line in one of the php files to add application/rss+xml, I've heard that might possibly open you up to xss though. It will work correctly without the right mimetype in some readers, but no garuntees). Lastly, the easiest way, and probaby best is to install an extension like mw:Extension:WikiArticleFeeds. Hope that helps. Bawolff ☺☻ 22:33, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

The Howdy template
I've responded to your comment about this on my talk page - please put any other messages in the appropriate section or at the bottom of the page. Howdy builds on the work of a lot of other people. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:22, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Kristinpedia. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kristinpedia~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:17, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
