first edits so i can get a new namespace indep of dwlegacy and need to copy over the details from front-page... im gonna cleanup the main-page, but for reference here is the historical junk i figured out about new users and anon users when they edit... MAIN-PAGE and then the attempted UNDO along with a question about why there is a shockwave-flash player error... oh well, whatev...

for my own uses, when using chrome on desktop - i will be main-account... when using firefox, ill be secondary acct... now it is time to see about user rights for this secondary acct... wheee...


 * i get confused by the visual editor when trying to add a list or something...
 * thus, it is always easier (for me) to do editing in source-mode, classic...
 * apparently trying to go to the user-rights page (without knowing its exact page title) game me a naming-error... specifically BAD-TITLE, it may contain one or more characters that cannot be used in titles...
 * Special - asked if i wanted to create the article "called" special
 * Special: - gave me the stupid bad-title msg
 * Special:UserRights - even in the browser where i thought itd be ok gave a different error - Permission error (apparently my hfelton-acct cannot give-rights?) idk...
 * Special:UserRights/hfelton or hfelton2 NOW are nogo... sigh... i have a feeling ive just mucked up my system but-good... lol...

apparently, even if i use independent browsers, the login is tied to my ip-address; so i was getting those errors because i was trying to access the special-pages using a non-admin user (hfelton2)... once i logged-off and signed-in again as hfelton (the magic superuser for this wikia), everything went back to normal... i guess i wont need the silly hfelton2 user for awhile... until i try to test something specific that works-here but not-there (at dwl)...

ok - after some surfing (specifically following TEMPLATES/categories-stuff) i managed to stumble into the

☀http://hfelton.wikia.com/wiki/Special:AdminDashboard page - hopefully i can see that link here in the future...
