| :Do we want to put references as <nowiki>[[Au2006a]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Bibliography:Au2006a]]</nowiki>? Using the one page per reference section has the major advantage of allowing us to use the "what links here" link to hunt down all old links when a preprint is published, so I'm convinced this is the right way to go.

| ::I think by fiat we are now using the former, as it is easier to type and looks nicer too. Presumably the Bibliography category will let us organise these pages easily even in the former case. [[User:Tao|Terry]] 23:59, 1 August 2006 (EDT) | | There is a [http://www.wikiindex.com/Category:Math list of Math Wiki's] on Wikipedia. |
| | See for example the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Partial_differential_equations collection] of PDE related pages on wikipedia. For basic concepts in PDE, perhaps we should further develop |

| I corresponded with AMS about linking to mathscinet from our bibliography pages. They directed me to the web page
| | == Notation == |
| http://www.ams.org/msnhtml/getitem.html . So, for published papers in our bibliography we are free to link to mathscinet. For example, see http://tosio.math.toronto.edu/wiki/index.php/Bo1999b [[User:Colliand|Colliand]] 12:31, 2 August 2006 (EDT)

| :Some reference pages, such as [[LiPo1993]], have partial mathscinet links [http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=id]. The string ''id'' at the end should be replaced by the associated math review number MR1249105. Is there an automated way to get these inserted into all the pages?

| | This wiki looks like a great resource for people like me who don't deal with PDE's full time, but need help every once in a while. One request: could someone compile a page discussing the notation? As a physicist, I hardly ever see (for example) Δ used to denote the Laplacian; usually, it's ∇<sup>2</sup>. Without a central notation page, it's hard to decipher some of the equations. And does y<sub>x</sub> mean the partial derivative of y with respect to x? Thanks.

| I am guessing that because we don't have specific tags for author, title, etc. one would need to build a reasonably smart system to automate things. Plus one expects references to continually be added by new authors, which we probably can't expect to adhere to any really complicated rules. Still a semi-automated system may be possible. Presumably once a mathscinet link is available one can query the AMS database in some automatic manner to aid our own somehow. [[User:Tao|Terry]] 00:39, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

| == Categories ==
| |
| | |
| I've started putting in some categories into the Wiki; they provide a convenient way to dynamically index all pages associated to a single topic, and can themselves contain content of their own. Any page can have as many categories as it wants, so please feel free to design your own categories as you please. In the worst case they can always be merged or otherwise cleaned up.

| | |
| == Redirects ==
| |
| | |
| Another useful Wiki feature is redirects. If a page contains nothing but the line
| |
| : <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[some-other-page]]</nowiki>
| |
| then it will automatically redirect to some-other-page. This is useful for merging two otherwise redundant pages, or dealing with a concept that has many spellings or variant names, or with two topics which for some reason are being treated on a single page for now.

| == Open for business? ==
| |
| | |
| The wiki is developing nicely. Not only is the conversion of the existing text reaching a point where the pages look nice (and invitingly easy to edit), the wiki format is also now suggesting some natural additions beyond the original brief of listing local and global wellposedness results for various equations. I particularly like the developing [[:Category:Concept|concepts category]], making this wiki more encyclopediac (Dispersopedia, anyone?). Anyway, maybe we can start inviting some more people in on the project. Next week when I return to UCLA I think I will advertise it on my own web page. [[User:Tao|Terry]] 03:00, 31 July 2006 (EDT)

Connections to other Wikis
There is a list of Math Wiki's on Wikipedia.
See for example the collection of PDE related pages on wikipedia. For basic concepts in PDE, perhaps we should further develop
those pages. For more specialized resources like a bibliography, it may be better to use this space. Colliand 11:28, 15 September 2006 (EDT)
