<!-- SONG FLASHMOB INFO -->
−
I've just installed a thingummer that lets you link to JoCo's site much easier. If you want to link to, for example, the blog post page at http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2008/05/06/behind-a-beard-part-3/, instead of the following code:
+
<div style="padding: 0.5em; background-color: #f5fffa; border: 1px solid #6692f1; /*background-color: #6692f1;*/ color: black;">

−
You can now use this, a-little-bit-simpler, code:
 
−
<nowiki>[[joco:2008/05/06/behind-a-beard-part-3/|Behind a Beard]]</nowiki>
 
−
Hopefully this is a touch simpler. I may or may not produce a separate code for songs, but for blog posts it would be impossible. Sorry bout that.
 
  
−
''Important addition - This '''doesn't work''' with song links! It turns those spaces into underscores, which the server doesn't like. I will do my best to sort this out, but it may be a limitation of MediaWiki and the way the song pages work. Repeat, this '''does not''' work with song pages!''
+
As suggested by [[User:Bry|Bry]], once a week we attempt to flesh out three song pages. This week's pages are: [[Till the Money Comes]], [[Tom Cruise Crazy]] and [[I'm Having a Party]].

''Important addition 2 (electric boogaloo) - This '''does work''' with song links, provided you use + rather than %20. See the [[Talk:Main Page|talk page]] for more details.''

I've re-added the [[JoCopedia:Community Portal|community portal]] link to the sidebar, what with various community happenings such as the [[JoCopedia talk:Moderators|mods contact page]], [[VFD|vote for deletion]], and so on. Feel free to create/update it as necessary.
