New Features
So much to say! I'll add more as I see them. 18:53, 13 May 2007 (EDT)
 * Special:EditCount – available to everyone and counts all edits, giving a breakdown by namespace.
 * Special:Patrol – Only to sysops & patrollers, goes through an edit diff one by one and gives you the options to accept, revert, or skip it.
 * Special:Chat – The biggie. The chat is now accessed through the wiki. It's on the sidebar if you haven't noticed yet.
 * MediaWiki Version: 1.8.2 &rarr; 1.10.0. New features:
 * On recent changes, +/- # of bytes that were added or removed to the size of the page is now seen. Total size of article in each revision seen in history page.
 * When protecting a page (sysops only), option to make the protection expire at a certain point, or use "cascading protection": all pages linked to the protected page will also be protected.
 * When a new article is created, and an edit summary is not specified, the default is the first 100 or so characters of the article.

Cool. Not that I can use Special:Patrol....grumble....grumble....


 * Teh new features are FTW! Great Gonzo

Yup. Except the chat is stupid now. 22:07, 13 May 2007 (EDT)


 * How is it stupid, its more under control.

A chat under control is stupid. Chats were made to be free.


 * Then make a seprate room... Great Gonzo

So, Special:Patrol just takes the most recent page edited and let you see the difference? Is there a way to choose which pages you wish to see? -- Chris 01:48, 14 May 2007 (EDT)
 * So far I don't think you can control what pages are seen, and I got pages starting from May 9th. 18:34, 14 May 2007 (EDT)
 * I understand what the practical use of such a feature is, I just don't understand how we are to utilize it. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 20:41, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

Short Articles
Um can't we merged short articles to longer articles such as Apple For example?Cause with short articles like this it doesn't look good.

FAs
Uh,I dont like the idea of cancelling the FAs and I dont care if the new enforced article standard will be, but I liked it better when we had FAs nomination,Then who's idea is to cancelled it?Any comments?
 * Mine and Wayoshi. Apparently, no one was following the standards set up on THIS Wiki. - A Link to the Past 14:17, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
