Talk:Archive of Our Own

interface languages

I think the phrasing " The archive's interface is planned to be translated into languages other than English in order to make it accessible to an international userbase. " is really weird because the international (non-US? I assume) userbase is English speaking to a large part and already accessing the AO3 en masse? I would say something like 'more accessible' instead.

whois info

Hi, I've taken out the whois info, because it contained personal contact information that I don't think should be on the wiki.--Mary Crawford 17:49, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Except that (a) the whois information is publicly accessible to anyone with an internet connection, and (b) no fan identity and real identity were connected. I would have, frankly, preferred to link to a whois look up, but AFAIK, it's not possible to describe a URI for a particular record. I added back that a whois lookup was performed, since the way you edited it left that completely reference-less. --zvi 18:32, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Stub

Is this still a stub? --Doro 21:45, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Probably not Cesy 21:53, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I agree and took off the sticker. (stub to me means clearly incomplete, not simply "short".) --lian 00:07, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

OTW committees

I've added a paragraph about the various committees involved in AO3 - so many! I'd like to start creating individual pages for them (their history, what they do, role in greater fandom etc) but want to check about the best title format. Which makes the most sense - putting them as subpages of OTW as they are subsets of the org, ie Organization_for_Transformative_Works/Abuse, or top-level pages like OTW Abuse or Abuse Committee or Abuse (OTW)? Most pages will need either some kind of title disambiguation or subject clarification at the top of the page. Thoughts? -- Tai 01:51, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

I didn't respond before because I am torn, but I do like the idea of using subpages in this case, in part because I have no idea what categories to give these pages. We can always move the pages later. Don't let this stop anyone from starting pages!--æþel 00:46, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Okay, thanks Aethel :) I might start making subpages and as you said we can always move them. It's probably clearest to use their official title, so Organization_for_Transformative_Works/Abuse Committee and then create redirects/disambigs. --Tai 02:33, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
