== Wikipedia:MediaWiki namespace ==

[[Wikipedia:MediaWiki namespace]] now is a redirect to [[Help:MediaWiki namespace]]. This might be due to some merges with this or other articles.
* This is a bad idea, since [[Wikipedia:Project namespace|"Wikipedia" namespace]] is for general information (and other things), while [[Wikipedia:Help namespace|"Help" namespace]] is for technical help.
* In ''Help:MediaWiki namespace'' is some general information which should be moved (for example the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace#History|history section]]. There might be more on other relevant "Wikipedia:"-pages (like guidelines regarding talk pages) or in the history of the redirects. Also it might be possible to link to articles in [[Wikipedia:Main namespace|"Main" namespace]].

== Please put a search link in the sidebar ==

I prefer to open up a blank search form in a new tab. See:
*[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] 

It is not possible now to do that. --[[User:Timeshifter|'''Timeshifter''']] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 00:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

== Standardization ==

I've seen both "email" and "e-mail" used in interface messages, with "e-mail" being the most common. So I've been changing "email" to "e-mail" when I've come across it. I don't have any particular preference except for consistency. The argument for going the other direction is that the article is located at "[[email]]", but since this would require changing more interface pages, it should probably not be done without discussion. <span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Palatino, serif;" color="#BBAED0">[[User:Feezo|Feezo]] <span style="font-size:x-small;">[[User_talk:Feezo|(send a signal]] | [[Special:Contributions/Feezo|watch the sky]])</span></span> 13:48, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
