MediaWiki talk:Navigation

On the left, directly under "Simple English Wikipedia", is the unsimple word "Navigation". If noone objects or has another idea, I will change this in 24 hrs, to read "getting around", which means the same thing. Blockinblox 01:41, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that "Navigation" is not simple, but "getting around" is much too idiomatic. The principal meaning of "to get" is to take or to receive. I think "navigation" is much more obvious, and even has cognates in other languages (such as "navegación" in Spanish) because it is from Latin. What about something different like "Places to go"? Oh, and it should be capitalized.
For any admin: how about fixing MediaWiki:Recentchanges as was mentioned in Wikipedia:Simple talk? It says there that "Newest changes" should become "New changes" to be more simple. I also think we should add a link on MediaWiki:Sidebar to Wikipedia:Simple talk either before or after Wikipedia:Community portal. In addition, others have mentioned that we should change MediaWiki:Sitesupport (which currently reads "Donations") to be simpler. Both "Give" and "Support" are on the BE850. --Cromwellt|talk 21:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
