[edit] Redirect this redirect to Wikipedia:Wikipedians

I feel it's more fitting to redirect it to that than to the Wikipedia article, since the redirected to-page doesn't have much on Wikipedians.--GCFreak2 04:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How to give credit for photos, etc.

Should we make a list of Wikipedians who contribute media content (e.g. photos) if they are williing to share their real names? -- Fplay 20:37, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How to track

Some people like being able to user "what links here" to track their content. How to handle this? The article should not piont back to their home (or a subpage) in User: -- Fplay 20:40, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Wikipedian was recently changed from a redirect to Wikipedia:Wikipedian into an article. It should not have been a redirect across namespaces, but it also doesn't really merit an article unto itself--it serves no function except to explain Wikipedia policies and processes. I suggest that it would best be merged and redirected to Wikipedia. Chick Bowen 06:09, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

We need both pages. "Wikipedia:Wikipedian" is about "let us have a fun Wikipedia community where both experts and amateurs feel welcome and are motivated to contribute". "Wikipedian" is about "let us make sure that the Wikipedia encyclopdia has good quality". -- Fplay 17:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
In discussions about this, please take into account that there appear to be highly used templates that link here in reference to "Wikipedia editor". Take a look at "what links here." Whatever we do should make sense with that link (or we need to change the template(s)). (John User:Jwy talk) 00:35, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with this merge. Wikipedian is very different of "Wikipedia". FML hi me at pt 13:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] wiki speak

I think a page is needed to list wikisims
