:Yes, it would be good to get rid of the dead links. The 'Request for Deletion' could link to the [[:Category:Deletion requests]] and the 'Article Requests to [[:Special:WantedPages]].

threw in some icons onto Galileo's layout.--Murgh 23:21, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I was able to animate the fiction gif.

I wasn't able to preserve the blurring around the edge though, do we keep it? --Galileo 12:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I get the feeling that's impossible. but it's so small I don't find it bothersome. success! --Murgh 18:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Installment or instalment? I looked it up, both seem to be correct, but it looks like installment is the more popular one, or is that AmE?--Rxke 09:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Manual of Style

Was there ever a Manual of Style written or has this always been a dead link? Splateagle 12:41, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I suggest deleting links to dead pages from this front page or making the links lead somewhere meaningful at least, dead links do not give a good first impression... Cpt says "Write on Commander..."

Yes, it would be good to get rid of the dead links. The 'Request for Deletion' could link to the Category:Deletion requests and the 'Article Requests to Special:WantedPages. But the 'Manual of Style' and 'Village Pump' would need to be created. Svengali 13:14, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
