Past Questions & Answers

 * Q: Hello!
 * I used User:QTJ/Syntactic_predicate as a scratchpad to write a rewrite. It's now at syntactic predicate.
 * Is there any way for me to flush my own page history for that? -- 06:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


 * A: In this case, I've performed a history merge between the two pages. For future use, it's probably easier to just move the page, if you're concerned about keeping its history. :) Thanks, and happy editing! Luna Santin 06:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Q: Silly question -- there's no TOC at the top of my discussion page (but I see it on other pages/talk pages that use exactly the same formatting. What have I done wrong? Thanks.

 * A: You simply don't have enough sections yet, when it gets to 4 or 5 (IIRC) it will automatically put a table of contents, you can force it to do so it you want by adding --pgk 18:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! -- QTJ 18:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Q: Is there a way to list one's references all in one chunk before actively referencing them, and then using the tag later in the text? This way, one needn't break up the flow of the main body of text with the full form in the first instance. Thanks -- QTJ 02:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * A:See User:CitationTool/Hybrid referencing. The future better solution would be that the developers implement it in the MediaWiki software. —Centrx→talk &bull; 02:50, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Q: How do I nominate a stub for a merge? I do not wish to merge it without discussion because the article is about a parsing technology, and as such, a clear conflict-of-interests exists, and I must therefore recuse myself in order to remain neutral. It is, however, still a stub, and IMO would better fit into another article already existing.
 * A: You can use the and  templates. At the top of the page you want to merge, put  . At the top of the page to be merged into, put  . If you need any help with that, feel free to let me know. Happy editing! Luna Santin 00:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. OK ... done. I'll leave it up to someone else to carry out the merger if they decide it's a good idea. -- QTJ 00:47, 19 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Q: How do I correctly archive a main namespace topic discussion page? (File name, link to archive done per norm, et cetera)? I know how to informally do it on my own page (that is, I've divided my archives into main topics), but this is not the norm. -- QTJ 20:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi QTJ. Have you seen WP:ARCHIVE? You may also find it useful to look at some examples. Most are done using the copy'n'paste method, and named /Archive 1, /Archive 2, etc. There is also something called a User:Werdnabot, which is currently offline. Does that answer your question? -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:12, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
