The leprechauns always run wild for a bit after Paddy's day.

... M1, which is otherwise identical to M.

It's hard to see in the photo, but there's a cam track on the slider, so an alternate action version exists, and therefore this confirms one reason for the greebling on the shell.

I can't get the magnet out, as my tweezers have been stolen by evil leprechauns.

If you're missing something, the wiki has complete version history, so if someone deleted something sometime, it should be there. And reversible.

Don't you know about the leprechauns?

It's a leprechaun's business.

On this note, I asked Daniel Beardsmore the same question because I had once found a "leprechaun" page or maybe it was an image at some point in the wiki but it has since vanished not a couple of months ago (maybe longer). What's with leprechauns and the wiki?

... works. I wish them good luck. I will give them a tip, if they read this: it's work, work, work,[..] It's hard work. Get to work. Maybe then the leprechauns will come.
I agree with this 100%, and said as much on the relevant Geekhack thread. Anyone setting up a new community project should be ...

... it doesn't happen just setting up some software and some basic content and waiting for the magic. It's hard work. Get to work. Maybe then the leprechauns will come.

Still, the reality is that the DT wiki is best and leading, and perfectly open. In both its favor and disadvantage, it has ...

... proud of it because we know it's good. It will only get better because Daniel thinks it's bad. No-one can compete with it unless they steal our leprechauns :twisted:

The /r/mechanicalkeyboards wiki, while useful in some respects, is more like a collection of guides. There isn't a Wikipedia page for ...

Due to lack of member interest, we employed some leprechauns to run some of the club business. I need to ask them about that.

Well, I use English as a second (or even third actually) langage. I don't mean to be rude.

In the distance, beyond the mountains, could be heard the sound of a legendary anger. No one knew what or who it was, but the leprechauns.

Basically, most people at Deskthority still treat it like the leprechauns run it. You somehow expect me to feel lenient towards a community … sorry, club … that just leaves one or two people to do all the work? Most people just gave up on it a long time ago and abandoned it in heap, so if they don't ...

Maybe the language confusion is because of a ton of well Pageranked incoming links? The increasing authority of the DT Wiki worldwide could be confusing Google's own leprechauns on just what this site is.

Leprechauns ... De Kabouter ... gnomes...
In Sweden, there are old folks tales of the tomte . He (usually a he) is taking care of the farm and especially the farm animals, when you sleep. You need to be kind to him or he will make bad things happen (cows will give sour milk, etc).
Somehow the legend ...

De Kabouterdans!
I admit I was impressed that you knew about leprechauns — admittedly, though, gnomes is a much better suggestion for the role than leprechauns, who have more of a capricious reputation than that of being helpful.

Yes, Fugly the merry and highly knowledgable leprechaun. She's a real gift to this community. And we owe her our thanks.

(Leprechauns like dwarves are bearded irrespective of gender. Do take this into account and try not to hurt their hirsute little feelings.)

I suspect this was done by the same leprechauns who secretly edit the wiki by night.

Thank you to all the Leprechauns!

My favourite single page is Cherry article numbers. I must have used this a hundred times.

@Daniel: If these people who "value" the wiki treated it like it was run by real people and open to their contributions, they would ... ? I ...

I do not feel that the database threatens the wiki, only that the people who "value" the wiki still treat it like it's run by leprechauns.

... There's a whole subforum dedicated to discussing the wiki if people need to ask questions. But the idea that people are just stewing in silence for year after year hoping that leprechauns are going to come around and inject knowledge into their brains at night while they sleep is just absurd.

... and integration with it, and it's easier to get the data and take it from there. This is were I worry that such complexities will be left to the leprechauns to handle. They will get data. Again the wiki is what the contributors make of it. If someone contributes a tool which takes and expands on data ...

The phrase "I hope we can find a way to exchange data" instead of "I will feed the data back in OUR wiki" on the other hand worries me that the leprechauns are expected to feed data back. That is why I have a bad feeling about this.

The optimum would be that all the structured data (the info that ...
