| 9 | + | The system only re-indexes the categories once per day. Even then, MediaWiki sometimes requires someone with server access to run a manual re-indexing process. If your page does not show up after a couple of days, then log a request in the [Bugtracker](<http://bugs.freepascal.org/>).

| 23 | + | * You can get rid of the animated gif logo by logging in and choosing a different skin under **My Pages | Preferences | Appearance**. I use the Cologne Blue skin and it looks and works fine. | |
| 24 | + | * You can also flag it with AdBlock - this seems to get rid of it from any site that uses it. | |
| 25 | + | * easiest: use wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org instead of wiki.freepascal.org : <http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Site_Feedback> \- [Arent](</User:Arent> "User:Arent") ([[User talk:Arent|talk]]) 13:00, 22 September 2016 (CEST) | |

| 29 | + | Is this still alive? Any changes to get update for the mediawiki engine, the editor is so much developed [[1]](<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?veaction=edit>) since the version in use in this wiki. Also something like [[2]](<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree#The_.3Ccategorytree.3E_tag>) might be handy for indexing ie. FPC category with lots of cluttered subcategories. --[LV](</User:LV> "User:LV \(page does not exist\)") 15:51, 28 January 2016 (CET) | |
