9/11

Moved from Wikipedia:Village pump on Sunday, September 21st, 02003.

Whatever happened to the 9/11 wiki? I thought it had been set up and the tribute articles moved there, but then I found Lorraine G. Bay on the Ancient Pages list. Why are these articles still here? Tuf-Kat 21:02, Sep 14, 2003 (UTC)

I don't know why the article you mentioned is still here, but the 9/11 wiki is here. --Flockmeal 21:18, 14 Sep 2003 (UTC)

It's still here because you haven't moved it yet.... ;-) Martin 15:58, 15 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Aah... (note: Mary Alice Wahlstrom too) Is there supposed to be a redirect to that other wiki, or is it improper to redirect to a different website? Tuf-Kat

Some we've deleted, some we've inter-wiki redirected, and some we've redirected to September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks/Casualties. Many people have conflicting opinions, but the person who does the work gets to make the decision. :) Martin 09:12, 19 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Personally, when I've come against them looking at ancient pages I've just let them lie. But that isn't out of laziness, but because I've got a bit of trepidation about moving stuff accross wiki's. I know it says: "Be bold", but knowing what one is doing would be nice too. I presume just using the ordinary movepage command works? Like if I was moving the page Foobar to the Finnish wiki, i'd just title it fi:Foobar maybe? What is the equivalent of "fi:" for the 9/11-wiki, BTW? -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 04:23, Sep 20, 2003 (UTC)

I'm not sure that you can move pages across wikis yet. I just tried it and got the error message "This action cannot be performed on this page". Do they have to be cut and paste moved? Angela 04:32, Sep 20, 2003 (UTC)

No, 'move page' does not work across wikis. Cut-n-paste may not be desirable as it doesn't carry edit history. An m:XML import/export function which will make this easier is in the works but not finished; if it's really really really imperative that some article be transferred bodily right now it can be done manually with some database munging. --Brion 05:18, 20 Sep 2003 (UTC)
