==Propose rename==
 
I propose to rename this article 'Introduction to uk.d-i-y Wiki' and then to put a redirect here to the contents page, so that first time visitors go straight to contents (Special:Allpages). This is currently being discussed on [http://groups.google.com/group/uk.d-i-y/browse_frm/thread/ebebef05e39ffc01?hl=en uk.d-i-y]

One such is [[Hammer]]. The error occurred after I put some pic names in with spaces in them by mistake. I corrected them, but no change. I deleted the article and reinstated it as Hammer rather than Hammers - for some reason the error has followed it to the new article name, although I cant find any fault in the wikicode.
 
 
 
Googling the error msg got me nowhere, and searching wikipedia (which also uses wikimedia) ditto.
 
 
 
Any ideas??

I mentioned this to Grunff the other day. He was going to look into it.

An image, Hatchet_622-3.jpg, returns a server error, and its presence on the [[hammer]] page was the cause of the problem on that page. I deleted the image and the link to it, now the rest of the page displays fine. But why the wiki has a problem with the image I dont know... too bloodthirsty maybe? It displays no prob on my software, and was created / edited / named the same way as a lot of other images on this wiki.
 
 
 
There is another image somewhere causing the same problem. If you spot which article its on let me know, and I should be able to find and remove the problem image. What the cause is and how to fix it I dont yet know.
 
 
 
Meanwhile I'll try uploading the hatchet image in another form so its available for anyone able to troubleshoot.

== Suspect users ==
 
  
There are lots of suspect user names registered, and these are used for mass junk attacks, a small one of which happened today with 5 or 6 articles affected. Is there a way to block lots of user names that have never edited any article yet? Do we want to do that? Any policies would be good to follow if doing so?

Do we need the external links section at the bottom of this page? (seems we have that covered elsewhere)
