NixOS Wiki talk: Projects
switching between site and talk pages
hi wiki people, dear user:Ixxie,
am i blind? where is the entry for switching to the talk page (on every site) and back?
i have not checked the details of the theme (with css and so on). i suppose that causes the problem.
or is it part of the concept to hide such links?

I think you're the first one to use talk pages since we pushed the re-design. I'll work on fixing the issue either friday or saturday.
we (you) can also declare that talk page are not wanted in this wiki. (this might be really unusual for a mediawiki but we can explain that all the discussion have to be on githu b or anywhere else.) i think that new contributors (on the wiki) which are not involved at github that much are expecting to find a "usual" talk page (link).
btw: i think it is rational to have the discussions about wiki content in the wiki itself. :-D

shortcut templates and interwiki links
hi wiki people!
is there a technical reason for the template:issue instead of creating (and using) a stupid interwiki link issue:?

Not knowing much about mediawiki wikis I guess. I created that template, I don't know much about mediawiki.
Right now, the biggest issue with those I can see is that it needs database access to configure, I am wrong.
I'll play around with the Interwiki extension on my local install and make recommendations afterwards.
i am wondering why it is not working by default. (was this mediawiki deployed as a mediawiki 1.20 or older? ) :-/
probably it is quite easy to enable it.
from my point of view it is nice to have that feature (but it is not needed today ;-) ).
