[edit] Please create a user page

Please create a user page at User:TimR. I could create it myself, but I prefer not to touch other people's user pages. Because of the existence of subpages such as User:TimR/Tables, it's just odd to not have an uplink. — Randall Bart 01:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair point - now done. Thanks. :-) TimR 07:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sortkeys

I started a discussion at Template talk:Sortablename, since there seem to be a number of unconnected efforts to create sortkeys for sortable wikitables. ~ trialsanderrors 23:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Very interesting - thanks. I'll have a good look at that. TimR 07:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
