	Hch, you said, "bring it up on the mailinglist". If you want people to use your change policy, it may be a good idea to put your change policy in the description area on your homepage. Perhaps it should even have it's own page. It's pretty hard to guess the policy as a first time user. -- [[User:J3gum\|J3gum]] 13:47, 13 October 2011 (UTC)		Hch, you said, "bring it up on the mailinglist".

	::No apology needed. I appreciate your addition and I agree that every formatting syntax (Mediawiki-syntax or HTML) inbetween context can confuse people who just want to add context. But the [[Main_Page]] is somewhat special, IMHO. It's an overview of the most important pages and I think we need to keep it somewhat organized and not every page needs to be on the front page. Otherwise we could just redirect to [[Special:AllPages]] :-) Every other page on this wiki needs only little formatting (just bullet points ("*") and paragraphs ("=="). I'd like to re-pretty the [[Main_Page]] again and keep [{{SERVER}}/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=watch watching] the page so if another additon mangles the "prettyness" I'll gladly fix it.

	Hi! I've seen your [http://xfs.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=2356&oldid=2256 edit] to "De-pretty/complicate the page" and I don't understand why you did that? Don't we want our wiki to be pretty too? I don't think the page was overly complicated, just a few boxes so that one does not have to scroll down, as the page gets longer and longer. -- [[User:Ckujau\|Ckujau]] 06:02, 12 October 2011 (UTC)		Hi!

	First, I apologize if I've overstepped. That was not my intention. I did try to add [http://xfs.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=2357&oldid=2356 a link and header] before the edit to which you referred. When added, the system generated table of contents overlapped the "custom box divisions". I added these two edits as two separate edits in case someone wanted to reimplement the "prettiness." I do believe these "prettiness" additions raise the bar for entry, that is not needed, for people trying to add content to the page. -- [[User:J3gum\|J3gum]] 14:21, 12 October 2011 (UTC)		:First, I apologize if I've overstepped.
