I've been thinking of more ways to drum up some interest/activity here. The page [[Turning questions into articles]] is an excellent concept and could be a really good way to show someone new to the wiki just how easily an article can be started. Could it be made more visible? Maybe a link on the Main page, or as part of the [[9 things you need to know about the Crankshaft Coalition wiki]], or ?--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 02:25, 19 April 2012 (MDT)

:The actual page itself probably wouldn't work, as-is (it's almost like an internal memo), but the ''concept'' is a good one.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 01:48, 22 April 2012 (MDT)

==Deleting old titles from the Candidates for deletion page==
 
Jon, the article titles on the [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Category:Candidates_for_deletion Candidates for deletion] page can all be deleted. The articles themselves were deleted except for [[1961 buick special rear end conversion]] which I placed into the Incomplete category as it has some value, IMO (it wasn’t placed there by you, however the rest of the deleted articles were, back in late ‘09).--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 01:48, 22 April 2012 (MDT)
 
:I developed/moved the saved article [[1961-'63 Buick Special/Olds F-85 rear end conversion]] into a usable page (IMHO). If you agree, it can be removed from the ''Candidates for deletion'' page. Thanks. --[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 23:09, 2 May 2012 (MDT)
 
::Sure thing, go for it.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 12:45, 3 May 2012 (MDT)

Jon, it would be nice if when navigating away from a page by clicking on a link, etc. (like when clicking on the AMC V-8s page from the "Engine" page as an example), that when using the back button to return to the original (Engine) page that the position of the page would be the same as where it was when the page was left, and not just be returned to the top of the page. I don't know if 'anchor links' is what would do this or what, I only briefly researched it before appealing to you.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 22:21, 28 April 2012 (MDT)

:By my understanding, we aren't going to be able to do this "server-side", by altering anything on our end, and that it's a "client-side", browser-dependent issue. When I use Safari as my browser, using the back button returns me to the position of the page when it was left.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 22:48, 28 April 2012 (MDT)
