Talk:Meta
This talk page is intended for discussions about ActuallyAutistic Wiki itself, including general questions, feedback, and suggestions.
Welcome to the discussion! Check out this short guide if you're unsure about how talk pages work.
New topics should be added to the top of this page, not the bottom.
Remember to always keep things civil!
English (US) vs English (UK)
I think we need some consensus on whether people should use American English spelling or British English spelling. Whatever we're gonna use, it should be put into the style guidelines. (Yes, I always focus on the most important topics! :D) --Fochti (talk) 22:47, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
autistic vs Autistic
We need some consensus on whether we capitalise "Autistic", like "Deaf", or not; prefarably sooner than later :D What do you think? --Fochti (talk) 22:47, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
Personally I'm accustomed to using lowercase. If others prefer uppercase, my suggestion would be: (1) use uppercase 'A' to refer to the Autistic community as a distinct subculture, but (2) use lowercase 'a' to refer to autistic people when talking about our neurotype itself. Thus a person could be 'autistic' (the neurotype) without necessarily also being "Autistic" (participating in the Autistic community). Mona Pereth (talk) 15:11, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
REQUEST: make external links open in new window
I think the usual thing is for external links (to other sites) to open in another window/tab. I think maybe that's how it worked yesterday and it got changed. Here's the docs on how to adjust the setting: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgExternalLinkTarget --Severian (talk) 01:57, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
Adding images
Is there a way to add images to a page? The help says to upload an image, but I don't know where to upload it to
Should we have a page saying where to get autism-related stuff? On the one hand, this could be a useful resource. On the other, it could very easily turn into a spam page, w/ nothing but free advertising
- Good question. That may be too difficult to judge. Anything from noise-cancelling headphones to T-shirts w/ Autism-related sayings
Deleting pages (answered)
Is it possible to actually delete a page (for example if it's redundant or spam), or do you need to make it a redirect? If so, where would you redirect a spam page to? --Fochti (talk) 01:44, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
