Making Changes

Please remember to use the editcopy to make changes to the main page. At such time as is necessary, the entire editcopy page should be copied over to the Main_Page. If we don't follow this policy for updating the frontpage, the editcopy may become out-of-sync (edits done to main not reflected in the editcopy), and changes may become lost when someone does move the editcopy contents onto the main page.

If this method of using the editcopy is not desired or necessary, then we should remove the editcopy page. Keep in mind that not everyone has write access to the main page, so some other method would need to be designed to suggest changes to the frontpage. Several wikis I visit use this editcopy policy, and it appears to work very well. -- Thraxian 15:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Addition

I suggest adding two Topics to the Advanced Building concepts column.

• Self-Regulating Network, as it is a good concept, with a nice blog article, but no wiki.
• Stationary, as a counter to the Junctionary, to split stations from junctions. Can be subdivided in ro-ro/terminus/srnw/more?

I don't mind filling or even making them, but what do you guys think? (previously unsigned comment by ODM)

I think that's a fabulous idea. We do need to spend a bit more time updating the Junctionary, and I love the idea of a Stationary. Nice play on words!

I would recommend updating the editcopy to add these new links. Then, we will update the main page with the editcopy. -- Thraxian 13:46, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm also all for this idea. The idea of a stationary (in addition to the junctionary) is IMO a good one. Also the snrw is a concept now proven a few times to work well and shouldn't miss in the wiki.--planetmaker 17:31, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Hm... I created a new category "stationary", but I'm not entirely satisfied with that. It would fit still into the junctionary - if the junctionary wouldn't propose by the word that it deals with junctions. Maybe we could rename it to something more fitting. "Building guide" or "building examples" is boring. "Junction- and Stationary" maybe?--planetmaker 18:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
