Help Requested

I'd like to make the Abbreviations page into a category page like malt etc. I've made the Category page but how do I get the original Abbreviation link point to the abbreviation category rather than the abbreviation page?--Orfy 05:11, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

To link to a category you put a semi-colon in front of the category name in the link. E.g. [[:Category:Abbreviations|Abbreviations]]. Without the leading semi-colon the wiki will just include it in the category instead of treating it like a link. --Bradsul 08:23, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
Sorry I didn't actually answer your question. :) You would want to use what I said above, and set a redirect on the old page. #REDIRECT [[:Category:Abbreviations]]. I updated the only couple articles that were pointing to the abbreviations page to point to the category in this case. --Bradsul 08:25, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

Additions Requested/Suggestions

It looks like some backend stuff needs to be done in order to allow embedded youtube videos. I tried embedding my aeration time lapse as the youtube directions suggest and it doesn't work. The code just gets displayed. Check this out: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:YouTube_%28Iubito%29 Bobby M 14:11, 14 February 2007 (CST)

The wine page is just a skeleton at this time. Any wine making experts willing to work on it would be greatly appreciated.
The cider page is in progress, but incomplete.--Torchiest 11:31, 11 February 2007 (CST) The mead page has basic, and needs a lot of work.

More specifically, the sub-categories of mead need pages and descriptions.--Torchiest 19:31, 27 February 2007 (CST)
We also need comments on the structure, layout and the way it's looking.
We need more pages like the whirlpool page.
Detail pages on chillers and other gadgets would be good.

I've been adding to the keggle and chillers here and there.Bobby M 23:04, 13 February 2007 (CST)

It'd also be great to have some stuff like individual brewers set ups.--Orfy 13:33, 11 February 2007 (CST)

I put up basic information on the Yeast Starters page. If anyone would like to take a series of photos of themselves going through the process, and put them up, it would really help a lot. --Torchiest 18:45, 11 February 2007 (CST)
There is now a hops template available. Look in the discussion section of the hops page. --Torchiest 03:29, 12 February 2007 (CST)
I have finished the malt template. It's in the discussion section of the malt page. --Torchiest 09:47, 13 February 2007 (CST)

Just so that it is actually said somewhere, the Malt page is deprecated and has been replaced with the Malt category (available here). I've protected the original Malt page from editing until either existing links are changed or a redirect is set (will hopefully take care of this tonight unless someone beats me to it). --Bradsul 15:26, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

I'm going to be washing my belgian wit yeast soon, I'll take pictures and document that as it goes along. --z987k 04 May 2007
