Frae Wikipedia

Sorry, I've never done this before, and I seem to have accidentally deleted your entire Main Page! All I wanted to do was correct the rather startling spelling error "Wikipaedia". Although I could add that it would be far better to just copy the standard Main Page format used by the other languages. The big saltire for example is maybe a tad unecessary.

The reason for the page being "deleted" was that it is mostly made up of templates. You changed the references to the templates and they no longer pointed to valid templates. Thus the content was apparently lost. Please note that in Scots the correct spelling is "Wikipaedia". It was discussed at the inception of this language version. We just haven't got around to changing the graphic yet. If you look at other versions of Wikipedia you'll see that the name is localised.
As for copying the standard page from other languages, I don't see there being a standard. They are all different to account for the size or other reasons. --Colin Angus Mackay 11:37, 11 Augist 2005 (UTC)

It's not a problem at all — as you can see these things are easily fixed. (A aye hae ma douts aboot Wikipaedia but it seems tae hiv become the name bi defaut sae A'll no compleen.) As Colin says, there isn't a standard front page. I think ours was copied from Sicilian or some such. — Mendor 18:36, 11 Augist 2005 (UTC)
