So I did :) See User:Alphax/monobook.js (look for "addlimenu") and User:Alphax/monobook.css. Now you can have (almost) infinite tabs!

Templates with section headersSorry, but I don't get what this means. What needs to be done? Nv8200p 13:30, 9 August 2005 (UTC) Don't forget to substitute templates with section headers (such as {{Welcome2}} and {{idw}}) when you use them on talk pages - it reduces server load, and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Public domainHi there, AlphaX. An acquaintance of mine noted that you once quoted me on the mailing list regarding public domain, to which I have never been subscribed. I forgot about that comment, actually, and I have since partially reversed my position. Because I'm not a lawyer and the legal theory of placing works in the public domain is untested, I no longer contend that it's actually impossible to do so in any jurisdiction. However, I do think it is a good idea to do as you have done, to supply an additional "backup" license in case some future decision renders release into the PD impossible in some regions. I try to put both PD and free-use on most of my stuff now. I feel foolish that I made such strong statements without proper qualification and others had relied upon them. Please forgive my arrogance. Oh, and one more little thing: no offense, but could you please be careful about posting my username in the future? I use Deco in signatures because my user name is too easy to search for. I really wish I could just change my username, but I can't. Thanks a lot. Deco 06:10, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

BSTRhino 01:00, 12 August 2005 (UTC) Hi Alphax.. would like your help on this pleaseHi Alphax.. i understand that you are an Admin in Wikipedia, and I'd be grateful if you could clarify some doubts that i have regarding the Wikipedia Votes For Deletion (VfD) policy. So far i have read the Wikipedia:Guide to Votes for deletion page and the Wikipedia:Deletion policy page; and went through their contents. However, what puzzles me is that certain people keep on wanting to delete several pages of articles regarding Warcraft custom games such as Defense of the Ancients, Hero Siege and Sheep Tag (the first 2 still being VfD'ed). As I have contributed a significant bit to those pages, I naturally feel sad about having them thrown in the garbage. The question i have is - those pages were meant to be informative, somewhat in a Neutral POV, and is not meant to be some kind of advertising or personal website - and the Wikipedia policy states that "wikipedia is not paper"; so why are these articles continually being selected for VfDs? If it is the length or content of the article that is concerned, isn't it better to merge the short stubs into a better article, rather than just delete them outright? IMHO, i think certain editors are biased to the Warcraft custom maps category, thereby warranting the articles' deletion. Hope you could clarify these questions for me ... and thanks for your time. =)
HeartThank you, well spotted. There was a wood of redirects, and I inadvertedly must have deleted the main page to prepare for a move. I have restored the history and reverted to the actual text in the article. Sorry for the inconvenience.
