I just wrote Proper disposal of chemicals, where everything related to chemicals disposal should be added and I have a question.
Do we have any table template? I was thinking of adding a table with every chemical wrote on the wiki and add columns about disposal: neutralization, whether or not can be poured down the drain, heat treatment, etc.

A table like that would be a great idea! There's probably a table template. You can check out the templates wiki and see. I found this hidden table template, for a collapsible table, but I couldn't find a normal table one.
Overall, adding templates and stuff is confusing and headache-inducing, at least to me, but I can add this one if you'd like.

I really think we need to start getting working templates on the wiki. "Proper disposal of chemicals" is a great idea!

Yeah, I didn't add the template, but I added a brief section to the page about recycling earlier today.

There should probably be a safe disposal part of the chemicals template.

When I write articles, if there's a special disposal route to be followed I usually just include that within safety.

I'll modify the template's safety section to being safety, storage, and disposal. (I guess it would be retitled "Handling."

Time for a huge spike in editing, then. Get some while it's hot.

I can't understand, why do the infoboxes show up as code, rather than an infobox?

Is there any difference between the "rare earth metals", and "lanthanides" categories? They seem redundant.

Rare earths include scandium, yttrium, AND the actinides (I think).

Not trying to argue with an RE nut, but I'm pretty sure that the actinides are not considered rare-earths, only the lanthanides, scandium, and yttrium.

Yeah, you're right.

Now I can't think of the right term for f-block elements and group 3 metals.

I noticed few references for the Sciencemadness Library on the wiki. Should there be a section for it, or should any references just be added to the refs section? I added for example, one link to a book from the library about alkaloids for the Nicotine article in a Ref subsection.

I can't use a WYSIWYG editor in Internet Explorer. Anyone else have that problem? I can only edit the source.

I don't want to switch from Internet Explorer since Firefox has terrible touch support and Chrome seems to kill battery life on the Surface Pro 3, as well as take over RAM.

I lost my 32 days out of 60 for dedicated. Hopefully your SAT went well though. I was personally more a fan of the ACT.

So it's been you this whole time. Nearly 1/5th of the edits are mine and I still haven't gotten one of those.

I guess you just aren't lucky :cool:

Anyway, anyone have any issues with only seeing the Source Editor in Internet Explorer?

Yeah, personally I liked the ACT better too. I've taken the SAT before, but I was too young so my score got deleted. The funny thing is I'm in Organic Chem I right now and I just need the SAT to apply for a scholarship.

Brain&Force Yeah only the source editor shows on IE on my computer too, though Firefox works fine. I don't know what the problem is.

Is there an entry point to the structure of this Wiki? I mean, is there an index?

There is one here, but it doesn't work very well. I wish it would just display all of the pages, but it won't. Wikia has a lot of problems. One reason that I would like to get it off of there.

Thanks a lot. But ummm... There's absolutely nothing there.

Click on Wiki Content and still nothing. :(
