E-mail verzonden bewerken
Ik krijg af en toe de tekst c.q. het kopje [E-mail verzonden] na – inderdaad – het verzenden van een e-mail. Wat mij betreft geeft ik de voorkeru aan de tekst: [e-mail verzonden]. Commentaar overbodig, lijkt mij. Intussen vraag ik mij af of dit een kwestie is van typografie (of toch iets anders). – Maiella (overleg) 5 feb 2014 20:32 (CET)
- Dan zou een moderator waarschijnlijk MediaWiki:Emailsent/nl moeten aanpassen. ∼ Wimmel (overleg) 5 feb 2014 22:10 (CET)

Gebruikersnamen in sjablonen herkennen bewerken
Ik weet niet waar ik met deze vraag terecht kan, daarom maar hier. Wanneer iemand het {{lg}}-sjabloon gebruikt, dan komt er geen rood vakje bovenaan in de balk. Ik vind het juist gewenst dat de software ook dan doorgeeft dat er over je gepraat wordt. Is dit aan te passen? PWester (overleg) 23 feb 2014 21:51 (CET)

Versleuteling gegevens Telegram bewerken
Volgens het artikel over de Telegram-app is een "sterk punt [...] de versleuteling van gegevens door de software", maar http://www.nrc.nl/tech/2014/02/21/telegram-lijkt-opeens-het-alternatief-voor-whatsapp-is-de-app-echt-veiliger/ en http://unhandledexpression.com/2013/12/17/telegram-stand-back-we-know-maths/ wekken een andere indruk. Zou iemand met verstand van zaken het artikel (indien inderdaad nodig) willen verbeteren en uitbreiden? Mathonius 24 feb 2014 16:12 (CET)
- Het onderwerp is heel veel in het nieuws op dit moment, nu net bijvoorbeeld op Radar op Nederland 1. Ik denk dat er een grote behoefte is aan een goed artikel over Telegram. Zelf weet ik er bijna niets van af. Goede oproep dus, ik hoop dat iemand dat oppakt. PWester (overleg) 24 feb 2014 20:42 (CET)
