==Changing Order of Links==
While I have a generally hands-off approach to this site (I prefer to let cooler heads prevail) as the host '''I WILL ''NOT''''' allow anyone to change the ordering of the links on the archives page in such a way that it actively moves sites that are already high-volume up the list. The archives pages were setup with an aim at being completely fair by imposing no order on the links, but if I catch one more "Anonymous Coward" purposefully monkeying with the links I will lock the page — period.
That is '''''NOT''''' open to discussion. Shifti has never asked (and will never ask) for links on other sites, nor for "Pride of Place" anyone attempting to fix Shifti so their favorite sites (or sites they administer) gain such "Pride of Place" on any of the various "Archives" pages will find that those pages are rapidly becoming locked down and their IP addresses are being blocked. If necessary policies similar to Wikipedia's massive list of subnets that are banned from editing will appear.

No categories for the this page or the art archives one, please. They will be added when and/or if the admins determine they are needed. Thank you! — ShadowWolf 23:35, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

Perhaps it would be good to come up with a few fairly generic "root" categories akin to the story ones for non-story pages like these. It's a common pattern on many wikis to have at least one category on every page, such that a page that has no categories is considered "broken" to some degree, so people coming here with experience from other wikies might find it nonintuitive that we're only categorizing some of the pages here. Maybe something like category:directories or category:external resources for pages with collections of external links and resources? Bryan 03:28, 19 August 2007 (EDT)
