Discussion about inline linking is at [[de:Wikipedia:Verbesserungsvorschläge]]. The funcion is already switched off at the English Wikipedia, and should be disabled on all Wikipedias sooner or later.
'''Meta-Wikipedia''' is a wiki meant to work alongside the main [[en:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] project. Meta can be used for several ''Wikipedia-related'' purposes:
* Meta-project: Discuss and formulate project-wide (i.e. not language-specific) policies; organize events, contents; philosophical discussions
* Meta-content: Organize and prepare content, e.g. templates, language files
* Meta-code: Coordinate the development process and user guide
 
If you're looking for a place to post encyclopedia articles, head over to the main project sites:

Meta-Wikipedia is ''not'' a disposal site for uncorrectable articles from the different Wikipedias, and it is not a hosting provider for personal essays of all types. If you're looking for a wiki-based community, check out MeatballWiki's [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?back=CategoryOnlineCommunity community list]. If you're looking for free webspace, you can find a list [http://www.thefreesite.com/Free_Web_Space/ here]. If you want to build your own wiki, try [http://www.seedwiki.com SeedWiki] for a free wiki or check out the [[Wiki:WikiEngines|list of wiki engines]].

Revision as of 22:01, 17 October 2003

I uploaded / deleted the few remaining inline linked images on the German Wikipedia, so the "feature" can now be switched off.

Discussion about inline linking is at de:Wikipedia:Verbesserungsvorschläge. The funcion is already switched off at the English Wikipedia, and should be disabled on all Wikipedias sooner or later.
