A couple questions about the article count (after having some trouble Googling for answers). First, why isn't it updating automatically? Is that something I can trigger to update, or add to the "job queue", does anyone know? (Notice if you edit / preview it is higher than 43, which it reads on the main page right now.) Second, what qualifies as an "article"? Is there a minimum length that a page needs to be (other than not being a user or talk page) to qualify as an article? --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 19:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 
:The main page just updated, it now says 48 articles. Also, the statistics page says that there are 145 pages total, but it is excluding, "talk pages, pages about RoboWiki, minimal 'stub' pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages." --[[User:AaronR|AaronR]] 20:00, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 
 
 
According to the MediaWiki wiki (now that's a mouthful), the main page will come up to date as soon as its HTML cache is invalidated, at which point all of the templates, etc. will be transcluded again. Don't know if that helps... --[[User:AaronR|AaronR]] 20:27, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Font size ==
 
 
 
Just out of curiosity, why is the font size so large here compared to, say, Wikipedia? I know, I know, it's the same as the old wiki's font, but that wiki didn't have a sidebar. --[[User:AaronR|AaronR]] 07:04, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 
 
 
: Primarily because I thought "x-small" was just too small, and yes, it was also just sooo much smaller than the old wiki. I also figured that with the skins options, we could easily give people more choices to choose their own style, anyway. I will confess that tiny fonts for the sake of sleeker designs is a major pet peeve of mine. :-P --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 07:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Smileys :-) ==
 
 
 
I would be relly nice if we could somehow support smile, e.g. just as simple as stating:
 
 
 
<pre>[[Image:HappySmiley.png]]</pre>

Wikimedia Commons has a [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Smiley whole section] of GFDL'd or public domain smileys (look at the link at the bottom for more). I don't really see the point though. If you want to upload them and use them, feel free, but I'll stick with =) on the wiki. --<code>[[User:AaronR|AaronR]]</code> 01:21, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Maths Markup ==
 
 
 
Is it possible to turn on the math rendering like on Wikipedia? Sometimes, a properly rendered maths formula is easier to understand than the java code implementing it.
 
 
 
For example, have a look at some of the non-java code on the [[Circular_Targeting/Walkthrough|Circular Targeting Walkthrough]]. Now imagine how less understandable it would be without the sigmas and integral signs. Currently, they are just off-site images. This is not ideal--if the images get moved/deleted, the page would break.
