is there any reason you guys don't have subpages enabled for the main namespace (0) in your MediaWiki preferences (LocalSettings.php, see example in DefaultSettings.php)? This would allow automatic backlinks from "[[/bla]]" pages to their parent pages.--[[User:Eloquence|Eloquence]]

== Multiple downloads with Firefox? ==
== The Mozilla Thunderbird Help link ==


Is there anyway to enable more concurrent downloads (threads) than 2? I cant download more than 2 files at a time and when downloading from slow servers it is annoying not to be able to start new dls from others. I found nothing in the kb, but maybe somebody knows or has found/ resolved that?
Hi,
In the section on Mozilla Thunderbird the links are 'dead'!
I think you need to change this:

</p>


The link at the bottom, 'A Beginners Guide to Firefox', belongs in the Firefox FAQ, not on the front page.

: Moved to Firefox Links (which already had a link, so I basically deleted it).

I have added several different .Wav files to Thunderbird and they will not play when I press the preview button, or when mail comes in.
Is there a Special page which lists all the templates available? I can't find it if there is! If there isn't we should definitely create one, because I can never find the templates that I'm looking for (to remind myself of their exact title). --[[User:Mozcerize|Mozcerize]] 02:16, 4 Jun 2005 (PDT)
I know they are good files because they play outside of the application.

Locking

I'm locking the Main Page due to vandalism. If things need editing, post it here and I'll try to frequent it as much as possible to update the page or prod me in irc.mozilla.org/#wiki (if I'm away, leave a message and feel free to make faces at me).

I'm designing a layout that I think wil be easier for first-time browsers of this site. Please check my Userpage to see what I am doing Stex 07:20, 6 Jul 2005 (PDT)

Bugzilla

You should put Bugzilla in under Other Mozilla.org Applications. Better yet, replace these links with a working category feature, a la Wikipedia. Right now, the MediaWiki:Categories page is protected and includes the exciting text "Categories" and only that. Alternatively, Special:Categories includes a grand total of 6 different categories, none of which include that categories on the main page. Superm401 12:30, 5 Feb 2005 (PST). As an example of what we could have, see Wikipedia:Browse by category. Note, I realize that this isn't aspiring to be Wikipedia, and it shouldn't be, but this could make the system much more organized. Superm401 12:30, 5 Feb 2005 (PST)

This looks promising. Any way to get categories to "embed" themselves into the front page? I want users to have a working table of contents with links to various places the moment they arrive at the front page. There's also the issue of whether or not a sysop can protect a category from inclusion, so that the sysop still has a tight rein on whether or not something appears to a user the first time he arrives here (like the protection we have on the front page right now to prevent links to any articles/links from being added).
The front page will probably have to be edited manually to point to categories; please discuss this on Talk:Rules and Talk:Rules/Categories. --asqueella

Removed resolved issues, you can see them in page history. --asqueella 08:14, 30 Mar 2005 (PST)

suggestion: style change

By using the default wikimedia skin this wiki looks sadly unprofessional. By comparison with the beautifully designed MozillaZine header, the bottom part of the page seems to have simply being forced. Wikimedia has a gallery of user styles (most of them licensed as a free document) that serves as an example of how simple changes (like the color-schema) could give more life to this knowledge base. You want to be Mozillazine, not a wikipedia looking amateur wiki.

Cheops might give you an idea of a warmer look for this page, and MiniMenu shows the wonderful possibilities the wiki has. --Avsa 20:18, 18 Apr 2005 (PDT)

The Mozilla Thunderbird Help link

Hi, In the section on Mozilla Thunderbird the links are 'dead'! I think you need to change this:

Need more help? Visit <a href='http://texturizer.net/thunderbird/support.html' class='external' title="http://texturizer.net/thunderbird/support.html">Mozilla Thunderbird Help</a> (http://texturizer.net/thunderbird/support.html) or browse the <a href="/Thunderbird_:_Links" title ="Thunderbird : Links"> Thunderbird links</a> page.

TO:

Need more help? Visit <a href='http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/' class='external' title="http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/">Mozilla Thunderbird Help</a> (http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/) or browse the <a href="/Thunderbird_:_Links" title ="Thunderbird : Links"> Thunderbird links</a> page.

Done. --hao2lian
