Would you like me to render your poems the traditional way as I find them?  Or does the way they are now achieve the same effect? -- [[User:Aldus Marius Peregrinus|Marius Peregrinus]] 20:18, 28 December 2007 (CET)</ins></div></td></tr>

<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Salve Venator,<br />
<br />
please don't use colons in article titles; they're reserved for namespaces. I also recommend against category names in article titles - just use simple titles, and Category links within the article to categorize it.<br />
<br />
Thus instead of [[Fabulae Mensae: One-Gallon Winemaker]], I recommend<br />
[[One-Gallon Winemaker]]<br />
<br />
with <nowiki>[[Category:Fabulae Mensae]]</nowiki> within the article.<br />
