[edit] Of Mice and Men
As a wikipedia user, I am unfamiliar with this kind of wiki. Is there such thing as a spoiler template or clean up template?--66.41.169.244 12:45, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
- See Template:Cleanup. --Think Fast 23:06, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Where to ask questions
The page says (in a nutshell) if you can't find what you're looking for, click "where to ask questions". Where is this "where to ask questions" link? Either I'm blind (possible), or its not there? Should a link to the question page be put here, seems logical place for a newbie (like I am)? --DanielBC 04:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- This section is all very much still in development, so do bear with us whilst it is completed. In response to your question, if you can't find the answer you're looking for here, please ask it in the staff lounge, explaining that you are new and would be grateful if someone could answer whatever you wish to ask. Kind regards, Jguk 07:29, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks Jguk. I have actually already posted a question on the staff lounge, however I haven't recieved a response yet, although posted yesterday. See the relevant section. Thanks again, --DanielBC 03:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page title
Shouldn't this page be moved to "Help:Contents" (currently a redirect to here), so that it's under the Help namespace? --Adam7davies 21:47, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- I have now done this. (I had to delete the redirect before the move, because the redirect had some history.) --Kernigh 00:22, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Table of Contents
How do I add one to a page, or is it somehow added automatically? Some pages with multiple sections that should have a TOC do not. Thanks Wikidsoup (talk) 19:10, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Figured it out through Wikipedia. I added __FORCETOC__ and it forced a TOC to be added. Wikidsoup (talk) 22:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] which pages should we still link to?
I assume all the pages of the old help hierarchy that we no longer link to should be deleted in the future. (I've included Help:Introduction 2 in them in order to mark them.) Should we still link to Help:Introduction? Doesn't Wikibooks:Welcome and Wikibooks:About cover the same information and more? I would like to keep a link to Help:Contributing to Wikibooks for a while because this was my primary source of information about editing (or at least of links to the corresponding pages). --Martin Kraus (talk) 19:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Should we include a link to Wikibooks:Template messages? I think it is about the only useful directory of templates. --Martin Kraus (talk) 15:54, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
[edit] PDF Books
I have spent the last 4-6 months working on the Commons Category:Pdf files and have created several subcategories. Many of the saves and deletions are books, University theses, manuals etc in Pdf format. It was suggested on a discussion page at one time that Pdf books and Theses go in wikibooks. If so how do I go about linking or moving these book files to here? WayneRay (talk) 15:50, 30 December 2008 (UTC)WayneRay
- You might want to discuss this question at WB:RR. I think University theses don't belong in Wikibooks because (at least in the Universities I know) they usually include original research, which should not be published at Wikibooks (WB:NOR). Moreover, you would have to convert the PDF files to the wiki markup language, as the hosting of existing books (in the PDF format) is discouraged (WB:SOURCE and WB:HOST). --Martin Kraus (talk) 16:41, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
