Let me know what would be required to write templates with conditionals, and about redirects, and so on.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]] 20:48, 5 March 2007 (EST)

== New account creation ==
Someone (who didn't sign his question) suggested that the "Log in/create account" link did not have an account-creation button, and said that this was unprofessional. No--what might be unprofessional is saying that one can create an account automatically and then disabling that feature. Given the rampant vandalism that I already know that this site has suffered, I recommend publishing a disclaimer similar to that on [[CreationWiki]]. Namely, that automatic creation of accounts is now disabled, and if anyone wants an account, then he should apply by e-mail to someone. And then you establish a special account--say, "info@conservapedia.com"--to which one may apply for membership as an editor--or else let the [[Bureaucrat]]s, and maybe the [[Sysop]]s as well, publish their e-mail addresses, either on their separate User pages or preferably on a special contact page. (I applied first directly to [[User:Aschlafly]] and then to the [[Eagle Forum]] in order to get my account, but I had to track down Andy's e-mail elsewhere on the Web. I will not repeat it here; that is his decision ''alone'' to make.)--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]] 21:35, 5 March 2007 (EST)
== Acceptable topics for articles and projects ==
In looking over some of the deletion proposals and debates on certain topics, I concluded that I ought to ask what topics are acceptable for inclusion in this project, before I blundered on like a bull in a china shop and published something that someone would only have to remove.
# How far may we go in discussing culture? Shall we limit our discussion to classical [[literature]], [[theater]], and [[music]], for example? Shall we build a recommended reading list for students and establish a "novels project" similar to that on [[Wikipedia]] but limited to book reports on this recommended reading list? Is any discussion of specific [[motion picture]] or [[television]] projects acceptable?
# How far shall we take any discussion of [[politics]]? At what date should we draw a line and say, "Anything more recent than this date constitutes current controversy and is more suitable as a Debate topic than as an article on a settled issue"?
# Shall we discuss the transportation infrastructure of the [[United States]] or of any other country?
I've probably only scratched the surface here. I've also read the complaints against [[Wikipedia]]. In that light, I prefer to ask such things in advance.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]] 21:35, 5 March 2007 (EST)
