Copyright
Does anyone know enough to complete the Copyright page? (BTW for some reason it has more links to it than show up on the "What links here" page.) I'm sure I could fathom out the content myself but suspect that someone else can do it with a lot less effort.

Non-consensuality vs BDSM
With all the publicity around about forced-labour and forced prostitution etc. I have little doubt that some people looking for links about nonconsensual slavery will end up on this site. It occurs to me that we should have a page on it, distancing this site and BDSM generally and pointing to other sites such as the BBC (I have the link somewhere) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery etc.
What does anyone else reckon and does anyone want to start it? I'm not sure what title for the topic would be best.

Topic Labels - abbreviations or not?

Error in code
Hi ... User:VampWillow here (though had to create a new userid as Wipi doesn't allow non logged-in users to edit). I was changing my preferences a couple of days ago and selected a different skin to make it easy to read the text for editing. Now, whenever I try to use the site I get
- Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_REQUIRE_ONCE in /raid/sites/www.lfshosting.co.uk/www/mediawiki-1.4rc1/skins/globalHeader2.php on line 3
and can only get around it by deleting all cookies but can't sign in!. Can a bureacrat or someone please reset my preferences to the default so that I can use the name everyone knows me by please! Thanks! (VampWillowTop 23:41, 19 Jun 2005 (BST) but not really)
- Aha, the dreaded skin issue! I've fallen foul of it twice now (without even hitting the one you have problems with!) Someone with access to the database needs to sort this once and for all - even if only two work (the LFS one, which would be better named as such, and one pale background one) we should be safe in switching around! But surely MediaWiki comes with a selection that work? --Interesdom 16:51, 20 Jun 2005 (BST)
I think all the skins now work! but I will go in again and try to restrict it down to two or three skins Balzac 17:18, 20 Jun 2005 (BST)
Topic Labels - Singular or plural
We currently have a mixture. What is the 'correct' ruling for this? Cane, Dildo and Paddle but Blindfolds, Spreader bars and Violet Wands. I can understand some things remaining 'plural' even if we have singular - Handcuffs for example because we don't use 'handcuff' as a noun. Similarly, if we go plural, some things will make easier reading in the singular, such as St Andrews cross. Nevertheless, I think it would make easier navigating and linking if we were consistent.
Again, much easier if we sort this out now rather than wait until there's many more links. Any ideas?

I try (most of the time) to use the singular. Balzac 17:19, 20 Jun 2005 (BST)
