[edit] Other wikibooks history

Seems to be already Wikibooks:WikiProject_History, maybe redirect the page here and contact the member. ChessCreator (talk) 19:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I hadn't seen that. It says it is obsolete, so I've linked it here. Thanks. Νεοπτόλεμος ( talk | email | contribs ) 19:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

History merged after the move and renamed Wikibooks:WikiProject Chess for consistency. Wikibooks:History should be about the history of Wikibooks. All wikiprojects should use Wikibooks:Wikiproject XXXXXXX as the format to avoid any such conflicts.  – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 01:34, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I strongly disagree that 'All wikiprojects should use Wikibooks:Wikiproject XXXXXXX as the format to avoid any such conflicts.' If you are concerned about the conflicts a better way is to redirect Wikibooks:Wikiproject XXXXXXX to whatever format is choosen. It's quite inappropriate to change existing wikibooks that have already been branded with a name, and known as that name from many links in wikibooks and elsewhere (like wikipedia). Also the practical problem of the name 'Wikibooks:Wikiproject XXXXXXX' being to long to sensible displayed in sidebars. ChessCreator (talk) 15:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WB:HISTORY

Created shortcut to the Wikibooks History page. It's also a trick to highlight link on User box on project page. ChessCreator (talk) 21:43, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
