Categories and templates

Thank you very much for your effort and enthusiasm in organizing MozillaWiki pages. We greatly appreciate your desire to be involved. However, as changing categories and templates in large quantities can be disruptive, we would like to hold off on doing so until we've had a chance to plan out the guidelines and best practices for MozillaWiki. If you are interested in helping us with this effort, you can find out information on how to get involved on the MozillaWiki:Team page; we are reachable on IRC or the newsgroup or, of course, on various talk pages here on MozillaWiki. We hope to be able to get started on a first draft by the end of the year. Thank you again for your interest, and thank you for being a Mozillian! —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 04:30, 14 November 2014 (PST)

Oh, sorry about that :)

Didn't mean to break anything, so I'll keep off the templates for a while.

But I guess it's ok if I add more icon files and such things?

The thing with categories (as you may have already noticed) is that it can be hard to change them on many pages all at once. If we later decide to go a different way, we would have to change or remove the existing categories.

As for uploading things, that's much less disruptive. Just make sure that you're only uploading things that we actually need here on MozillaWiki. (Note that, although we are inspired in many ways by Wikipedia, we are not a Wikimedia wiki, and we don't necessarily need all the Wikimedia assets on here.)

It is also important that you ensure that what you upload is compatible with our CC-BY-SA license.
