| − | * | + | *So, I found out, finally, why it's been hard to find things. Category pages aren't scanned for keywords for searching. So, we'll need to move our category pages' text to new pages and make the links. For example, searching for "mencoder" didn't work before today. Since I moved <nowiki>[[:Category:Software_Movies]]</nowiki> to '''Making_Movies''' we can now search for the keywords in that page. |

Some Thoughts For Discussion
- Folks, please check out the section MediaWiki Image Galleries for cleaning up the code for inserting more than one image. This fixes the problem of having to insert tons of blank lines to cleanly offset the following text. So, if you have some time, please head back to old pages and help clean this up.
- We need to accurately document settings for PyMol. This would greatly improve the value of the site. We should also provide images and examples.
- For people (like me) who don't know the first thing about Wiki's, more "newbies click here to learn" links would help ease the transition...
Where is the anti-spam mechanism/strategy?
Manual removing spam contents really sucks.
Edit by AdShea One good strategy is to search all namespaces for 'http' (without the quotes). This will show links containing that string, which should catch any spam links.
Needed Editing
Needed edits are the following:
- We need more thorough "See Also" sections on each page. Mesh shows what each page should look like. People need to be able to find their content easily.
- After some playing with this, I think we should create categories for each SET of settings. Like, "surface_settings" and then just put all the surface settings in there. Then, we can simply link out to this page and it'll change dynamically with the settings.
- We need to continue linking categories to their respective pages.
- More images should be uploaded for the settings changes so people can see what the settings do as well as read how to control them.
Searching
The default method for searching, eg hitting ENTER, should be the "Search" command not the "Go" command.
- The search function is abysmal. If I type in "shadow" I get nothing. If I go to google and type in "site:pymolwiki.org shadow" I get both of the pages for ray-trace shadows which is what I wanted ("Ray Shadow" and "Ray Shadows"). I assume that there are two entries because of the poor search function. Just do what Wikipedia does and offer a google search of the site if the search function comes up empty-handed (Wikipedia does search the text of it's articles correctly but the google offer includes all languages).
