Help talk:Languages

Er, what exactly is this? 19:30, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * RationalWiki:Editing tabs --  Nx / talk 19:31, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what this is, following the links doesn't help me understand at all, I'm not a technical person by nature so talking about javascript might as well be in Urdu, and I'm not all that bright to start with. Why do I need this?  Do I need this?  It's something to do with evolution jokes or something?  Am I allowed to make in-jokes and whatnot without it?  If someone writes a joke in it, can I see it if I'm not using it?  All the "help" page has done is give me a bunch of questions and I haven't got a single answer.  Highly frustrating, and so far devoid of cool and lulz. --Kels 19:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Click the try it links. Look at the tabs. They are different. One is the mediawiki default, i.e. like wikipedia. If you prefer that, go to preferences, and select en-mw in language. The other one is where people can do stuff like change talk to peer review etc. --  Nx / talk 19:49, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * And the site default (i.e. what anons and new users and everyone who hasn't selected something else sees) is en, which is what we've been using so far. --  Nx / talk 19:52, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, thank you very much for not telling me anything but "try it" and sending me in blind to where I can see no difference between the two links. To sum up, THAT TELLS ME NOTHING AND I'M MORE CONFUSED THAN WHEN I STARTED.  Thank you. --Kels 19:53, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Click here. Look at the top of the page. Notice that it's not fossil record, it's history. --  Nx / talk 19:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Is that all this is about? Just the tab things? --Kels 19:56, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, and everything else that's part of the interface. --  Nx / talk 19:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 10/10 for doing it; 1/10 for explaining it. Nice one though Nx. 20:54, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, doh, now I remember. 21:24, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
