WikiPediaProcess

Comment on the Wiki''''Pedia process here. Your opinions are solicited on all manner of policy questions. Or, if you simply want to ask a question, ask it here.

See discussion on NamingConventions.

A request: for an encyclopedia, the usual Wiki link-naming scheme seems not quite right. How about patching the Wiki server code so that any string that ends in a special character (such as "~") becomes a Wiki link.

I second this request. I propose that wiki links should be enclosed in double braces, {{like this}}. Of course, we'll have to do some serious re-naming of pages when the new standard is implemented--that might not be for a while, too. Don't hold your breath.

It is possible to link to images simply by typing in the URL of the image. This was done, for example, on the FidDle page. But the image exists somewhere outside of WikiPedia. Is this wrong? Is a "link back" to the image source adequate compensation, or not? What do you think?
