Subtle difference, but one that can be lethal for a link. --[[User:Tonisant\|Toni Sant]] ([[User talk:Tonisant\|talk]]) 16:00, 8 December 2013 (UTC)		I'm wondering whether we should also consider a similar solution to alternative punctuation.

	=====Uploading TIF=====		=====Uploading TIF=====
	[[User:SteveBorg\|Steve Borg]] is exploring the possibility of uploading TIF image files. The upload is not a problem, but the display probably required some interaction with imagemagik or something like that to conver to a format that can be displayed/viewed through web browsers without special plugins. [http://www.m3p.com.mt/wiki/index.php?title=File:%C4%8Aensu_tal-Pitrolju_Valletta_History_%26_Elegance2001.tif Here's an example of what a TIF upload looks like right now]. --[[User:Tonisant\|Toni Sant]] ([[User talk:Tonisant\|talk]]) 12:31, 3 March 2012 (UTC)		[[User:SteveBorg\|Steve Borg]] is exploring the possibility of uploading TIF image files.

			I'm not so sure that we should focus on the TIF format before we consider an image uploading policy. In essence, TIFs can only really be viewed in a web browser if they are rendered as JPGs first, or a local viewer/plug-in is available at the client side. I'm bringing this up again, because Steve uploaded another TIF recently and asked why there's no preview for such files and/or they're not rendered in his browser on the wiki. --[[User:Tonisant\|Toni Sant]] ([[User talk:Tonisant\|talk]]) 09:31, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

			=====Handling PDF=====
			[[User:Noel D'Anastas]] has uploaded several PDFs of his newspaper articles. We need to consider how these will be displayed in the. Is it just a matter of setting up a mime for pdf? Or do we need to install an extension like [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PdfHandler PdfHandler]? --[[User:Tonisant\|Toni Sant]] ([[User talk:Tonisant\|talk]]) 09:31, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
