I've installed a couple anti-spam measures to combat recent bot spam.

I implemented the AntiSpam plugin which will limit registrations of bot accounts. It uses the cleantalk.org service which I paid for 3 years of protection. I also activated the ConfirmEdit extension which implements Captcha for edits and new pages. Please reply to this thread if you have Captcha problems.

Is it just me that is a tiny bit annoyed and left out that the URL is .us? I mean... Formula Student is not just in the US...

Besides that great initiative and I hope in a year this will be a big source of information for all students.

I think it would have been funny if we were .xxx but no one asked me

Sorry .com wasn't available :(

Also... net and org weren't available and fs.wiki is $280 a year. Sorry, I'm funding this hosting and MediaWiki service out of pocket and I couldn't rationalize the $280 a year.

haha don't worry about it. Like I said I am just being picky and to be honest the domain is fswiki.us not fsaewiki.us so I guess it is half European half US XD

Sorry for the rough formatting, this was just an idea dump

I think this is a good idea. It was suggested previously that this type of section be added. Perhaps it can be called "Engineering Materials" or something?

We also need a place for a master list of reference books so that could go there too. What are your thoughts?

Totally, I think a master list is a good idea, depending on how many books stack up, I think you'd want a single page of all the books/articles/papers separate by topics, unless the number of books becomes unmanageable for one page.

I didn't see this discussion until now, but I made a Manufacturing category that has a materials subcategory, I hope that's okay

I'll add a fastener subcategory as well

Totally okay. I'll do some organization today. Could you guys look and participate in the [[Talk:Category:Manufacturing]] and [[Talk:Category:Manufacturing_Techniques]] threads?
