Well guys... I was looking info about MP!L at Wikipedia... and I think that is very incomplete...

I think we should do a team to be in charge of that... and update it... with some screenshots (MP!L itself and its features) and examples (talking about scripts and skins)...

We are a huge community... and we are always talking about this... I think a is good way to help and start the 2008 !!!

What do you guys think??? Do you wanna help??? (Remember that we can actually make a very good one and then translate it )

Although some chapters can indeed be updated a bit or more detailed information can be given, note that Wikipedia is not an advertising site and should be as neutral/objective as possible. I say this because a complete lists of features, screenshots, etc is more seen as advertising than telling what Messenger Plus! (Live) is.

Aka: Wikipedia is not for listing the features of Plus!, but to explain what Plus! actually is, maybe how it works (briefly), and some technical aspects (like "it was written in x") or information not found anywhere else.

I think this was talked about before

I think certain things need to be changed

Isn't this freeware??

Wiki says: License Free with Optional Sponsor (Adware)

Once again, you got my vote cookie!

we're not allowed to edit wikipedia. it would violate the NPOV.

I edited some wrong parts you'll see below. I didn't know we can edit Wikipedia personally

with Messenger only being unlocked upon double-clicking of said icon.

---

Added: "or upon pressing a user-defined hotkey

quote:

It should be noted, however, that pop-up boxes such as notifying the user that their address has been added by another are not hidden by this feature.

---

This sentence has been removed because it is not like that anymore, am I correct?

Catalan language is not included in 4.50, I have removed it from languages list.

the last version of Messenger Plus! (Version 3.63) will still be available for download and is able to run along side the WLM version without any compatibility problems.

---

There are some compatibility problems like signing out Windows Messenger may sign user out from WLM as well. I have mentioned them.

In External Links section, www.mpskins.net has been included.

A separate adware uninstallation program is provided by Circle Development which appears when users attempt to uninstall Messenger Plus!.[

---

*...when users attempt to uninstall the sponsor program of Messenger Plus!.

By the way, I think it is very detailed, even some features mentioned in Wikipedia are not documented in official Features page of website.

I use to update the wiki alot I made the patchou section then people edited it

Ok i modified the first few paragraphs... other than knowing its a messenger add-on anyone that didn't already know what MP!L is would have no idea from that article . Hopefully now it makes a little more sense


Also: When was the first version of Messenger Plus! Live released? It mentions when Messenger Plus! was released etc but it doesn't mention when the Live! version line was released.

Also2: Whoever wrote the skinning piece in... woah... please write in english next time :

"Skin is general refer to the graphical appearance of a program. This new skinning feature is added in version 4.50 of Messenger Live Plus!. It allows user to change the traditional appearance of WLM by downloading skin from the MPL official website or make their personal skin with XML script."
