	Redirects are a good idea when you have pages that end with things like (e-magazine) because it helps in the search function. The syntax is '''<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[ Uncommon Sense (e-magazine)]]</nowiki>'''.

			Uh, no. Haven't tested it yet. It worked miserably before, so ''anything'' is likely to be an improvement. P~

			When I have some free time, I'll test it. I recommend you '''not''' hold your breath until then.

			<blockquote>At this point, I still don't know what I ''do'' know. Too much here must be learned by "trial-and-error".

			So, I try, and err.

			My bad...

			A "redirect" is not necessary. The other article should be in the encyclopedia category.

			Be nice if you had a little tutorial prepared on "creating redirects". P~

			Ditto on "renaming pages".

			I just figured out the "more than one category" thing (by - guess what? - ''trial and error''...

			I am holding off on my "editor help page" until you (and I) figure out what is different in the new version of the wiki.

			No, I do ''not'' have the time to go back through the "fixes" and "new features" implemented in all previous versions of mediawiki. ''But you expect me to do that?''

			Sheesh...

	Why did you create a second page on this topic? --[[User:Etenne\|Etenne]] ([[User talk:Etenne\|talk]]) 12:12, 5 April 2014 (CEST)		Why did you create a second page on this topic? --[[User:Etenne\|Etenne]] ([[User talk:Etenne\|talk]]) 12:12, 5 April 2014 (CEST)

			<BLOCKQUOTE>
			"Common sense" is something that is "intuitive". BoyWiki should "be intuitive" (make sense) to users. At this point, it really doesn't. This discourages readers as well as contributors.

			I am trying to find a way - within the limitations of the wiki format - to make things "make sense" to the readers and the contributors. Most people don't have the time/inclination/skills to comb through BW to find the good materials it contains. That is one reason why BW is criticized so fiercely by some.

			BW just "doesn't make sense" to the average person. Wiki software was designed by ''computer programmers'', and ''NOT'' by educators. This is also often a serious problem in the field of education - the ones creating the computer programs which ''make the information accessible'' don't think like "normal folk" and so they often design software which is basically unusable to regular people.

			I am (along with working on a large number of other, unrelated-to-BW things) working on this problem here.

			''I '''will''' find a way to make BW user-friendly!'' But I may stumble along the way.

			My bad...

			Please leave the two entries "as is" for now. I will have to ponder this further. P~
