Question:
Should we allow people to edit peqipedia via the wiki? or should we force them to use a micro-blogging service?--PaulY 17:18, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I think the latter is the only way you can ensure people will stick to 140 characters. It also means that markup does need to be included in the 140 character limit. On the other hand, it would seem odd to have a wiki that can't be improved collaboratively, and by forcing people to edit through micro-blogging, they can't edit what's already here. Cool idea by the way. :) Angela (talk) 12:58, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Angela, I think for practical reasons we have to let people edit the pages on the wiki. Also I'd like to have an IRC Peqibot and also allow email-in to the wiki; so post-save character counting might be the best way to do it (Character Police Bot?) Once I have mastered python I will investigate using Javascript to make a character counter for the edit page (like the one they have on twitter). - unless you know someone who can help? :-) --PaulY 13:22, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Wikimark-up
Should "hidden" wikimark-up count towards the 140 character limit? i.e: does " cat " count as three characters or seven?

Disambiguation and "Lists of" pages
What do we do about these?

Page format
How about adding new articles to the top of the page - rather than deleting the old one and moving it into history? It might look a bit cluttered (no more than a twitter page) but probably more interesting than going into page history.--PaulY 22:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Adding images:
could we do something like "@peqi Botbox=pic:http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1109/850682181_3910a31a00_s.jpg"

I think that the "_s.jpg" is the small square image so we can force people to use that... or adapt larger images to that one.
