150703 Changes in Iframe for private files

When you use the link 'Add private file' to make a private file, and you filled into the infobox form the storage url for the uploaded file, the head of the Iframe now automatically shows a link to that url.

See for example: Private:Book Exposition of the Divine Principle

150703 Files in Iframes

Please whenever you add files in Iframes, if there is an url for a printable version of the web page, use that printable version. This is especially important for Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia articles can be uploaded as files in the public section.

150703 Iframes templates improved

To make sure that the originals of embedded files can be found by a reader, I've changed the templates that are used for embedding files.
See: Template:Iframe and Template:Iframes in table

150703 New CHI pages

150704 Changes in Private:page with databox

Initially i had made 1 + 9 categories for the private pages, assuming that these categories were hidden. But while in the search functions of the wiki private pages can only be found by users who are logged in, the category system is not so tightly closed. And every visitor of the site can find all the private pages by searching in the categories list and categories tree. They cannot see the private pages unless they are logged in, but they can see the titles of private pages.

It's not a big problem for our privacy, but i had to make some changes in how categories are attributed to private pages. You're more free to do so now.

Inevitably some help pages, diagrams and tutorials may still teach it the old way. But the form that you have to fill out gives the right instructions.

150704 Example of page with private photos collection

Private:Hyung Jin Moon photos collection shows this page. The four photos in it are all private.

A new feature in SMMA:

This is a page where you get a good overview of all categories in SMMA.
- There is a section where you can enter a category and then get the parent categories
- There is a section where you see an alphabetic list of categories
- Then there are sections showing the main categories of SMMA
Click 'Category network' at the bottom of the 'navigation pane' in the left sidebar!
(The blue question marks have help instructions but are still invisible until sa got a new extension working.)

150819 Newly installed notification system

From now on you'll be getting notifications. This message is to test the system. Modify your settings in Preferences>Notifications. I added new information to the talk top. Will you please read it? After this you can remove this line. DC--DivineCriticizer (talk) 04:56, 19 August 2015 (PDT)

150820 Bug 'Mentions'

The 'Mentions' option in the new notification system doesn't work. It's not a big problem but better that you know. See Private:MediaWiki logbook#'Mentions' don't work --DivineCriticizer (talk) 04:59, 20 August 2015 (PDT)

I added new information to the talk top. Will you please read it? After this you can remove this line. DC

Page Peter Koch

You did it quite well. I'll make a few minor edits to correct the English. For the rest, here are a few points that i'm asking you to correct or add:

  1. Standard we write names starting with their last name, then family name. See Naming conventions for persons. It means that Peter Koch should become 'Koch, Peter.'
  2. How to change this? First, please add the name 'Koch, Peter' to the list. You already gave him number 65, but he should be added to the List of SMMA-HR numbers so everyone knows he got that number. Also, you must check there whether he is not already on the list, maybe under another name (especially a problem for Korean names). Use Ctr+F to search through the entire page.
  3. After you added the new name 'Koch, Peter' to the list, you click on that new name. It leads you to a new page with the name 'Koch, Peter'. Click the redirect button (the button with the blue error on top of your editing form) and replace 'Target page name' with Peter Koch. Then you're done.
  4. You made a category with the name 'Peter Koch'. Click Edit with form in the page and change the name for the Category field to Koch, Peter.
  5. At the bottom you get a red link for the category 'Koch, Peter.' Click on that and add Koch, Peter to the category: 'Austrian UC members'
  6. Because Austrian UC members also is not yet a category, click on it and add this category to 'Biographies by nationality'. At the top of your users pages is a category tree that begins with SMMA. Then see >Biography pages>Biographies by nationality. Your new category will come in that one.--DivineCriticizer (talk) 00:36, 10 July 2015 (PDT)

Edits i made for the Short biography field

See how i moved/copied part of the text to the main page.

German?

Are you sure? I thought he was Austrian, but was first sent to Germany as missionary, and German Paul Werner to Austria. "My husband Peter Koch was born on March 30, 1927 in Magdeburg, Germany"

categories

I have little bit problems with categories, I need to find a way how to manage them.

Categories are complex

There's little that i can do about that. The category system in wikis is very useful, but extremely complex. Take your time for this because the orderliness and usefulness of the entire site depends on it. Study the category trees that you find at the top of your users page, and see how it's done.--DivineCriticizer (talk) 01:52, 10 July 2015 (PDT)

How to make a category

Study the pages in Category:Categories help How to name the new category for people who either directly or indirectly influenced Moon? Like founder of Jesus church Lee Yong Do, who never met Moon or Pak Wol Yong - the so called "Wife od Jehovah"?

See Categories>SMMA>Biography pages>Affiliated people
Category:Affiliated people - It may be that later we make more categories, but it's difficult to decide it now. Therefore, i first made a more general category (Affiliated people) for all those who were not members but who had to do with Moon or supported him in some way. Once we know that many biographies are for a new category, we can easily make that later. --DivineCriticizer (talk) 23:24, 13 July 2015 (PDT)

Pak, Wol Yong

I added a link to a 'Brief pointed commentary.' A new spirit body through pikareun --DivineCriticizer (talk) 23:42, 13 July 2015 (PDT)

Kim, Baek Moon

The 'See also' section is for internal links only.

The 'External links' section is for links to external sites. I changed one of the two links you made. 'Book from' is not English, so i changed that. Also, the link should have the main information only, and not your own comments or notes about the link.

One more problem: Your search leads to a Slovak-language page with Slovak text. It's a problem with Google search. It would be better to change it, if you find out how. I've to run now. I'll look at this again later.--DivineCriticizer (talk) 07:29, 14 July 2015 (PDT)

I tried to fix it. --Ian Meadow (talk) 08:42, 14 July 2015 (PDT)

I'll write a model for the external links so we can see how it's done. For now it's okay.

English corrections

I had to make several corrections. Can you please make note of this so your English will improve? Click the history tab of the article to compare your version with mine.

My corrections were not saved due to an edit conflict (you were working on the page at the same time as i did. I made the corrections again. Please look at it because you're making many mistakes, especially in the use of articles ('the' and 'a' -- a typical problem of East Europeans.)--DivineCriticizer (talk) 14:57, 14 July 2015 (PDT)

The book by Mike Breen

This should preferably be added to the private library. Check whether it is already there in the list of private pages. If not, think of adding it. There also is already a page for Breen, Michael.--DivineCriticizer (talk) 08:52, 14 July 2015 (PDT)

So far fixed --Ian Meadow (talk) 09:44, 14 July 2015 (PDT)

Private:Kim, Baek Moon

Photos in library is a category with subcategories. I think one of the subcategories is more fitting (Photos with others relating to SMM‎). Don't forget to open the category in the category tree when there are subcategories!--DivineCriticizer (talk) 08:58, 14 July 2015 (PDT)
