Snippet to update the main page during presentation: | |||
As of May 2022 Pipedia contains 5.28 Gigabytes of information, which includes: | |||
21,660 pages in 1,892 articles | |||
16,051 uploaded files including pipe and tobacciana photos, catalogs, shape charts, ads, patents, etc.) | |||
There have been a total of 49,934 edits since we started in 2006. | |||
'''Announcement! I've just updated Pipedia to Mediawiki 1.15.0. Please let me know if you notice any strange or unexpected behaviors.''' --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] [mailto:sethile.pipes@gmail.com] 02:36, 24 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
'''Lots of spam here lately so I have protected this page so that only registered users can contribute.''' --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] 16:20, 4 May 2009 (CDT) | |||
== What do you think we should strive to do with Pipedia? == | |||
Obviously, as with any wiki, this site will be defined by the interests of its contributors. '''''Pipedia''''' has the potential to be a great resource--constantly evolving with historical and current information about the entire scope of the World of tobacco pipes. Please contribute as you have the time, interest, and knowledge. | |||
The current focus has been building articles on pipe makers. The main page could also be a take off point for sub pages on the history of pipes, pipe tobaccos, packing techniques, pipe cleaning, repair, restoration, pipe making, and pretty much any other pipe related topics. Some of these sections have their own pages, for now linked to from Sections Under Development. They each have extensive sub levels, and several of them could become even more extensive. Open for suggestions as to the best way to organize this. | |||
Please discuss any ideas you have for Pipedia here. | |||
If you need any help contributing, please let me know. I'll be happy to help you get started. E-mail me at mailto:sethile.pipes@gmail.com | |||

The main page size got too big, which happened once before. This is great, BTW! It's a good sign! I've bought us some wiggle room again by moving Heather's clay pipe article, and the alternative wood sections into their own articles. | The main page size got too big, which happened once before.

:: Great Idea! I agree, perhaps even starting a different article for clubs. I would also like to start a separate article for tobacconists which specialize in pipes and pipe tobacco. My thinking is that both of these could and should be organized by location using categories. Dive in if you like, or I'll try to start something like this when I'm back from my trip (currently fly fishing in Stanley ID, and found a coffee shop with wireless--not bad for a town with a year round population of under 100 brave souls!). --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] 15:09, 11 July 2008 (CDT) | :: Great Idea!

I love the old pictures and art work about pipes. Also, famous or not so famous pipe smokers photos. I would like to see a gallery. | |||
:You can see a gallery of images here [[Special:Newimages]], otherwise they are simply embedded in the articles. Images could also be categorized and eventually listed that way. What do you mean exactly? If you have an idea for how this would work, please feel free to give it a try. Thanks! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] 06:41, 10 December 2008 (CST) | |||

::: Actually, I think the above is just spam. It's not pipe related. I just deleted an identical post to the last one translated. I guess we can leave these here for a bit though... --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] 10:12, 23 April 2009 (CDT) | |||
::::OK, Scott. If it's duplicated again, we remove it all and block the IP. --[[User:Frank|Frank]] 4/17/09 | |||
