Today I'd like to introduce you all to Ken Tsang, a Chinese-Australian Wikidot guru who has just hit black belt status for writing a small but perfectly elegant Iron Giant template site, the redirect template.
Ken is the author of the Wikidot package installer, he's built most of the new documentation site and he's the prolific admin of over 25 sites such as SocialMe.
A word on the redirect template and then back to Ken, who is probably squirming with this attention. Try typing 'help' or 'chat' in the toolbar at the top of this page. It's a trick: http://chat.wikidot.com redirects to http://chatroom.wikidot.com/chatroom but what Ken has done is to make this really easy. You clone the redirect template to some short site name, and edit it to redirect to the right place.
If the site name you want to use is already taken by an abandoned site (often the case), make a request on http://site-name.wikidot.com and we'll see if we can free it for you.
What are your favourite shortcuts? Let's collect a few… especially if you're one of the supergurus like Ken who can create over 1,000 sites.
Oh, and by the way, Ken is twelve.
I have just made a redirect to my site and it is… Soooooo easy, congratulations, Ken!

WHAT! hes even younger than me!
I don't know how old are you, rhombus, but I was also astonished when i heard Ken's age… until that moment, I thought James is the youngest young Wikidot genious…
Vir bonus miser vocari, at esse non potest miser.
im 14 soon to be 15
hehehe, so you are a little bit older than Ken, but a little bit younger than James… But anyway all of you are real wunderkids since you do such wonderful things at this so young age …. :)

I'm not the youngest wikidot genious… Oh wait, I'm not a genious.
It is amazing how quickly we learn at our age. Simply amazing.
… pieterh is little bit younger than me but I am younger than Helmut.
But who can beat Helmut ? His wife ?
hahahaaaaa… :D
Hey, Everything over 18 is OLD enough… So, don't try to squeeeze and push youself in a category "young genious", please, because it is really amazing what those youngsters are able to do, really… When I remember myself at 12-15-18… Heh… I was just a simple ignorant of everything….
Vir bonus miser vocari, at esse non potest miser.
So simple, yet so useful. Good job
tsangk!

Wikidot Mobile Editor | @tsangk Twitter | EziWebs - Wikidot… but not really
It is a surprise for me - is the doc.wikdiotom site unused or the link wrong?
Ha!
http://doc.wikidot.com/ should link to the doc site… and not doc.wikdiot.com :))
Oha!
Edit: I remember - I am an admin of this site… I can change it quickly…
Service is my success. My webtips:www.blender.org (Open source), Wikidot-Handbook.

Rule number 1: don't wikify when tired.
Rule number 2: if you're going to break rule #1, make lots of other people admin.
Thanks for fixing that, Helmuti!

It should not be used since it was thought monolingual while this one http://babel-doc.wikidot.com/en:modules is multilingual.
And I would keep existing page names such as "wiki-syntax" or "listpages-module" for easy redirections from old official documentation.
Just a question: why "Kenneth's Dozen"?
Is it something to do with my age?

A dozen is twelve, yes. I guess the idea was that people would ask, "what does this title mean?" and then understand when they got to the end of the posting.

Ahh.. that's it.
I admit, I had no idea what the title meant, despite reading the post :S
