Merging

Steve were you the one who thought of merging the dk wiki, wariowiki, banjo wiki, etc. to the mario wiki?--Fg 15:09, 5 February 2007 (EST)

Yes. Although only the DK Wiki was actually merged. The other wikis were never started. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 15:50, 5 February 2007 (EST)

Three More Extensions

  1. Disable editing of User pages by other users. That is, each user can only edit his or her page and no other. Sysops still can edit all pages.
  2. Top Contributors Overall. What we were looking for in UserScore. Not sure whether this can be restricted to sysops or not – might want to reconsider if it can't be restricted.
  3. Multi-File Upload. I'm pretty sure you can get rid of the "AWC" in the Special page title.

Even though these were created a few months ago for MediaWiki 1.5.x, they should still be fine now. There's a few things about customizing and notes for the last two, so check those out. Unrelated: Check under Sysop Discussion on the forum. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 20:50, 12 February 2007 (EST)

Maybe the first one. I really don't see a point to the second one. Don't know if we need third one either. These things can be annoying so unless we really need one I won't want to install it. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 20:59, 12 February 2007 (EST)
OK, I can see the uselessness in #2. But we have users uploading a lot of images at once all the time. Doing it in one load would save time for them. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 21:04, 12 February 2007 (EST)
Of all the users that I mentioned #3 to, they all said it would be useful. That includes WarioLoaf, Son of Suns, Yoshi626, Knife and Paper Jorge. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 15:19, 14 February 2007 (EST)

Autoconfirming the Move Feature

Via Special:Userrights, can you autoconfirm the ability to move articles? This will restrict new users under 4 days old from moving pages, making the recent serious vandalism attacks harder to make. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 22:53, 17 February 2007 (EST)

You could also add this in LocalSettings.php:
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['move'] = false;

Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 22:57, 17 February 2007 (EST)

How do you know this? --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 23:40, 17 February 2007 (EST)
[2] – lists default user groups and rights. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 23:43, 17 February 2007 (EST)
Such a thing cannot be done through Special:Userrights and your code is bogus. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 00:00, 18 February 2007 (EST)
That's true (my mistake before) – but notice when I added the code, I said it should be added to LocalSettings.php. The $wg stuff all goes there. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 00:04, 18 February 2007 (EST)
I'm well aware where it goes, and it doesn't work. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 00:10, 18 February 2007 (EST)
Are you sure? [3] proves I used the right syntax. Autoconfirm is new users for protecting, is that different here? Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 00:17, 18 February 2007 (EST)
The correct code is:
  $wgAutoConfirmAge = 3600*96;
  $wgGroupPermissions['user']['move'] = false;
  $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['move'] = true;

Because a user is considered autoconfirmed after the AutoConfirmAge time passes (in seconds), so you must block users from moving pages (because you're considerer a user the second you create an account) and only allow autoconfirmed users. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 00:54, 18 February 2007 (EST)

Sysop

steve will there ever be more than ten sysops in this wiki?--Fg 16:38, 18 February 2007 (EST)

Yes. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 16:42, 18 February 2007 (EST)

Idea: Shortcuts

Just running an idea through ya about the use of shortcuts. Wikipedia creates redirects to all its policies by using WP:Whatever (WP:NOT for what Wikipedia is not, WP:BLOCK for blocking policy, etc). Sometimes there's more than one shortcut for a page. This makes it easy for everyone to check these special pages for reference or for newbies to learn the rules. The redirect pages would be categorized into one category, and a quick page like MarioWiki:Shortcuts would describe what they're for and how to categorize properly ([[Category:Shortcuts|Specific pagename - not {{PAGENAME}}]] is needed). Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 17:26, 18 February 2007 (EST)

That's a good idea. You can get it going if you want to. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 17:33, 18 February 2007 (EST)

Checkusers?

What are checkusers? YoshiFan

It means they have permission to check the IP address of a user account for banning purposes. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 14:38, 19 February 2007 (EST)

MarioWiki:RareWiki Vote

As shown, we are now voting to determine the direction we're taking. One of the options is joining up with DKVine to create a RareWiki. Son of Suns has contacted the site about the issue. Son of Suns is going off AIM at 12:25, so you can come on to talk about the issue if you see this message relatively before then. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 23:56, 20 February 2007 (EST)

I'm not interested in creating any more wikis, so keeping the articles and adding the template would be the best move. I don't want to join with DKVine either. We should both just do our own thing. Can't talk about it on AIM tonight. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 00:05, 21 February 2007 (EST)
What if we just create it without any DKVine interaction at all and DKVine users would be attracted anyways? Is that still offsetting? Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 00:38, 21 February 2007 (EST)
Yeah, pretty much we just need permission from you to transfer articles from this wiki onto our wiki. Thats all, no work for you.<<< Knife 00:42, 21 February 2007 (EST)
What wiki? There's no RareWiki yet. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 00:44, 21 February 2007 (EST)
Yet'<<< Knife 00:46, 21 February 2007 (EST)
"we just need permission from you to transfer articles from this wiki onto our wiki" If DKVine is creating a wiki why is there a need for interaction from us? If they did create one we would have nothing to do with it, so we would keep the articles and include that template, so then both wikis would have the same articles. The articles should be written from a different perspective anyway: ours from a perspective of the character in the marioverse and theirs more general.
We could possibly create the wiki. I wouldn't even mind if it was considered a team up if we were in control of the hosting. I was concerned about the workload but I know you guys would cover most of it. So either:

a. They create the wiki on their own and of course our members can help out and whatnot but not directly transferring articles.

b. We team up on it and we'll host the wiki.

c. We'll do the wiki alone and it won't be an official joint thing but they can help obviously.

d. NOTHING

I haven't heard anything from them so I need to know what their expectations are. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 01:17, 21 February 2007 (EST)

Well in the meantime...I have submitted a request to Wikia to start the RareWiki. Entirely a different entity from the MarioWiki, no Wiki Alliance. If that goes through, all we would need from you is the permission to move articles out. The Banjo & Conker board could go and never be heard of again as well. I would just put a link to it. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 01:22, 21 February 2007 (EST)

If they're separate entities we would keep the articles and not transfer them. The board could stay as well. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 01:41, 21 February 2007 (EST)

I think the point is that many users feel Banjo and Conker are out of place and this wiki, and should be moved anyway, regardless of who is hosting the site. They are simply too removed from Mario's universe. We could just delete all the content, and if a wiki never emerges, the consensus may be just to erase all those articles without any move. -- Son of Suns

I think C. is the best choice. I disagree with just deleting articles, some users worked pretty hard to write them. At this point, we don't need an official alliance with DKVine. But then again, this all depends if we get permission from Wikia to host it. This would be at no cost or workload to anybody, and is a fair solution. Being part of the Wiki Alliance (if we still have that)... well all in all thats your decision.<<< Knife 18:14, 21 February 2007 (EST)

Personally, I like D. All in one Wiki. Cool. image:3dhammer.gif 3D, VERY active! image:3dhammer.gif

Remember that this wiki abides by the Marioverse. Banjo & Conker are barely in the Marioverse. RareWiki, which I have requested, will satisfy Choice C. Maybe we can move articles over to get a jumpstart on mainspace articles. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 18:25, 21 February 2007 (EST)

Hold on a minute, we may team up with DKVine? By the way, nice proposal Wayoshi. --Aipom_Banana_2.gif Aipom --

Little Colored Numbers

Are we going to get that...whatever it is that makes articles on the changes page have a little number telling how much was added/subtracted to a page per edit? Not that it's really needed.... -- Image:Shyghost.PNGChrisImage:Shyghost.PNG 18:01, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Hopefully not, they're really just a nusance on my watchlist on Wikipedia.--Aipom_Banana_2.gif Aipom --

Eh... --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 20:37, 5 March 2007 (EST)
A) Clarification: the number tells how many bytes were added or subtracted to the file size of the article. B) At a certain point, extreme numbers turn bold. This is used to signal possible vandalism in the negatives. C) We've got vandalism covered – it isn't daily like Wikipedia. I don't think we need it, unless it is auto-installed into a MediaWiki version (which I bet might be able to be turned off if so). Wa Yoshihead.png TC@ | Mi Youtube 20:45, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Anti-Spam

Hi Porple/boss man, :)

After yesterday;s violent spam attack I was thinking...aside from a couple more sysops, should we have a Counter Spam Group? I was thinking of them having the power To block a spammer for 24 hours (or until a sysop can handle the situation.

Maybe consist of ten VERY Active members, I mean it would help since yesterday morning a 'Tonya Logan' was spamming and a sysop didn't get on for a while, please think about it...

PRETxZELion E T C

I can't limit the amount of time a certain group is allowed to ban people for, so this group would essentially be sysops. So instead we're going to get some more active sysops on board to better our coverage in the event of an attack. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 19:07, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

so you're saying that we definitely need more sysops?F gImage:Larrynana.gif

Some stuff...

  1. How did you get the mario head on the catgory box thing?
  2. How did you get Peach,Mario and Luigi on the edit box?

You add a background image through the CSS. So for the edit box you would do something like:
textarea { background: #FFFFFF url("URL TO IMAGE")
}
And with the category box we have:
#catlinks {
   background-image: url(URL TO IMAGE);
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
   background-position: center right;
}

How do you get to the CSS?Toadbert101 18:11, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
If we're talking MediaWiki, the easiest way is to edit MediaWiki:Monobook.css and add the code. Where are you trying to do this? --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 20:30, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
A bionicle wiki called Bioniclepedia. It wikia.Toadbert101 15:18, 24 March 2007 (EDT)
So add the code to the MediaWiki:Monobook.css page on the wiki. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 20:08, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Main page vote

There's another poll going on on the main page's talk page. I'd like to see what your vote is.--Aipom_Banana_2.gif Aipom --

I don't wish to host such a thing on the server. Anywhere else it obviously doesn't matter to me. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 22:34, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

You're a little late. All this was decided some time ago. --Steve (talk) firefox_27x15.png 16:11, 25 March 2007 (EDT)
