What's with the userlist in special pages? It lists a bunch of accounts that aren't names. Why do they exist? -- Melanie St Clair 10:51, 22 December 2006 (CST)

It should be anonymous that created accounts. --Versuri 11:23, 22 December 2006 (CST)
A few of those accounts are test accounts made by Larry Sanger or the tech guys in the early days of the wiki that they were scared to delete for fear of making pages explode (which happened once). The rest are likely people who didn't read the directions and then had to remake their accounts the right way. As far as I know, none of those accounts that aren't names have write-access on the wiki, since the personnel people only give access to proper names. We just haven't cleared off those improper names because deleting accounts is time-consuming and possibly dangerous. --ZachPruckowski 14:19, 23 December 2006 (CST)
  • The edit page is blank. What gives?

Help

Notice "U"...we would be doing folks a great help by editing their user pages so that their names appear under the correct letter. --Larry Sanger 21:27, 26 February 2007 (CST)

well User does start with "U", it seems 'User:' needs beinf filtered out specifically in the U case. Something I would call a bug. Robert Tito | Talk 21:53, 26 February 2007 (CST)
so you saying I should stop changing these things? The problem is that they need to be alpha by last name, not first?? Matt Innis (Talk) 22:12, 26 February 2007 (CST)

No have you ever met Mr 123gimme 66uatry?, it is the combo User: with the lastname staring with U as some get through not all though. Robert Tito | Talk

CZ Authors First Page

Could the first page to access Authors please be an outline that will take you to a specific letter? The list has grown a lot since I started looking at the list. Robert Winmill 08:26, 23 April 2007 (CDT)

I just registered as an author and thought exactly the same thing as Robert. I'm amazed that no-one else has taken action on this yet! If I am on Robert's wavelength it would be something like this:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

I hope this helps --Graham Proud 04:08, 25 April 2007 (CDT)

Nested category?

Is there any particular reason this isn't a nested category, i.e. contains Category:Computers Authors, Category:Visual Arts Authors, etc? J. Noel Chiappa 15:08, 24 February 2008 (CST)
