I'm annew - aka Anne Wilson.  I'm from Yorkshire, in the north of England, and I spend waayyyy too much time working on KDE :-)  My interest has long been on user support, so this wiki is the natural extension of that.

Apart from providing support to all family members for their computing problems, I'm interested in gardening, sewing and embroidery, music and reading.  In truth, though, little time goes on any of those except reading, these days.

A: You can use an Atom feed and your favorite feed reader (applet, widget). Example: http://userbase.kde.org/w/i.php?translations=only&trailer=%2Fuk&title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=atom

<nowiki>{{:Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}}</nowiki>
{{:Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}}


Sometimes the screen position of an application is vital to your comfort, so use the flexibility of kwin to make sure it's always where you want it.
[[Category:Admin]]


Drag the window to where you want it, then right-click on the title-bar and select Configure Window Behavior.  The section you want is Window-Specific.  Click New, and enter a description in the top line.  Click the button marked Detect Window Properties and your cursor will become a cross-hair.  Click on the window that you want to fix.  If the click has registered a dialog box will appear, showing the detected settings.  Accept that.  Go to the Geometry tab and you should see the window's position and size, albeit greyed out.  Check those two settings, and select Remember from the combi-box.  OK that screen and returns to the previous screen.  Click Apply, and you are finished.  OK.


One caveat - if you have set things this way but decide that you want to change things, you may find that your new settings don't seem to work. It seems better to delete the entry and make a new one.

Testing Archives

Archive_Test1 - begins a set of pages for testing the effects of moving pages to the Archive namespace

Results noted:

  • If a page is archived with a redirect in place, the page name survives, and the page automatically redirects.
  • Any links in such a page continue to be blue (active) links.
  • Because the original page name survives, it will always be counted in any DPL report.
  • When a page is archived without a redirect the page name is freed up, appears entirely as an empty page, reusable as any other empty page.
  • Any page that previously linked to it will see a red (empty page) link.
  • The link from the original page is therefore broken and it will be necessary to guess the URL or search for it.
  • Where pages are not likely to be needed much in future, such as the old-style translations, the advantage is that the pages that have been archived can easily be excluded from reports, giving more accurate results.
  • __NOINDEX__ on the page suppresses search spider visits and results in a new category, Category:Noindexed pages
  • Category:Noindexed pages is strange, though, as only one of this set of pages is included, yet all four bear the category statement.
