Many times, I've come across the problem that we do not have a good explanatory page for the process of crosswicking - which is kind of a requirement for a good wiki - so I decided to write up a proposed policy page for it: Sandbox.Cross Wicking.

If given permission, I woudl wish to activate it to Administrivia.Crosswicking.

The only issue I have is that I'd like to have a link to Pages Needing Wicks somewhere on that page (and when this page goes live, wicking P. N. W. to Cross Wicking). I'd imagine that a lot of those pages are fine except that the examples require crosswicks. Other than that, looks good to me.

Pages Needing Wicks will definitively get a link added. I do not know where on the sandbox to wick to Pages Needing Wicks, though.

I added it where I thought it looked best, right after "a topic for asking assistance if you don't have time to crosswick the page..." Does the change look alright to everyone?

Seems right to me there.

Made a few minor tweaks; for me, it's good to go. [tup]

Thanks! I am just waiting for a new editor that I've linked to the page now, as I want their input - in my mind, having a new policy page approved both by esthablished editors and newcomers is ideal, as a page comprehensible only for one group is not ideal.

Yeah. That page will link to this and this will probably link to that as well.

Well, I got a positive reply from the editor. Since this thread is also leaning towards approval, I'll launch the page tomorrow morning CET if there aren't any changes.

Because the title is only one word long, you need to use curly braces to link to it, like this: Literature/{{Overenskommelser}} becomes Överenskommelser.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Thank you! That was exactly what I need to know...
