Need help

Can we get the Amiga pointing to the Amiga?

Real names?

Should we ask for real names to go with accounts, when people apply? (This is not for the 'account name - people can use pretty much whatever they want, there.) Classic computer people mostly use their real names (maybe because we're old-fashioned :-). I like knowing who people really are; the anonymity of Wikipedia has always irked me. But if people want to allow anonymous editors here, I'd be OK with that. Jnc (talk) 01:12, 24 April 2022 (CEST)
