Subpages Meltdown

When I try to install the horizontal subpages format {{subpages9}} the Request for Approval template and all sorts of other screwy things appear. Roger Lohmann 20:41, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

I just filled in the metadata page for this article. The subpages template is dependant on that page to function correctly. Chris Day (talk) 03:08, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

Redirects

Is there a reason this page title is so long and we just don't have redirects all pointing to one page? --Robert W King 18:01, 13 November 2007 (CST)


Problems

We have a bit of a mess here. I have been developing what was started under the heading of voluntary organisation/organization, not knowing about these other headings (with different spellings/hyphenations) and varying explanations. As I don't want to appear presumptuous, I suggest that someone needs to look at the article on voluntary organisation which I developed, and sort out either that or the connecting articles. Incidentally, as someone convinced of the value of voluntary organisations, I do not subscribe to the negative view implied in the term non(-)profit - though somewhere or other I have quoted the management guru Peter Drucker who used the term non-profit (with a hyphen). There is something much more positive, which I have tried to convey --Martin Wyatt 21:29, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
