# [morgan] Im absorbing the wikify resources some today, the SMS and MFA pages are quite big and a little chunkier to parse, but I am personally interested as in absorbing this information as Im on my phoneless adventure and finding some potential blockers in life not having a phone for a while. I might focus on documenting it for a blog post and just add as a link sometime when its ready.

[tantek] I am think the "warning" about past events may be a bit strong, like the ⚠️ symbol feels more "alarming" than necessary for indication of a past event (like there's nothing wrong). I am thinking of making a new template for either "info" (e.g. using ℹ️ and maybe with a light blue border (like an information booth at an airport or train station), or maybe a more specific one for "past event". Thoughts?

deathcomestotime I was wondering if we could redirect the 401 errors on the wiki to the login page? Since every revision history page 401s but it's an extra step to go to the homepage and log in to see itt

# [tantek] curious if anyone in Berlin (or within day train distance of) has heard of or has plans to go to any of these creative conferences? https://www.creativelunchclub.com/r/creative-conferences-berlin (yes this is a question about a prospective IWC Berlin this year)
# [tantek] gRegor, for your MediaWiki expertise review: https://indieweb.org/Template:past-iwc and https://indieweb.org/Template:info (will hold off on adding them the rest of the past IndieWebCamps home pages until reviewed). One known issue so far: the "cityname2" camps (second in the same city in the same year) will awkwardly display that "cityname2", and for those three past instances of "2" camps I'm thinking one-off uses of the "info" template
