Revision as of 07:29, 19 July 2010
Please note that this is not a policy in the usual sense. It's more like a petition or a request for Kevan to update the software.
On that note, I appreciate the amount of work that Kevan puts into UD, but it's getting hilarious as to how out-of-date the Wiki is. I don't really want to force him to do anything, but our software needs to be updated. I should also note that previous attempts to do this via his talk page have been unsuccessful, and our only real option is to follow what the community of a few years ago did, and make a petition.

- 3 days, huh? You should advertise. ;P --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 01:40, 17 July 2010 (BST)

Also, if anyone's got any pseudo-namespaces that they want turned into proper ones, or extensions added to the Wiki software, now's the time to speak. Linkthewindow Talk 01:38, 17 July 2010 (BST)
- We do have quite a few "Journal:" namespaces... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 01:43, 17 July 2010 (BST)
- Right. I'll toss that on the policy once I go through the Journal namespace and move any pages that need to be moved. Linkthewindow Talk 01:47, 17 July 2010 (BST)
- Wouldn't mind a glossary namespace but it's just a pipedream at the moment. -- 06:00, 17 July 2010 (BST)
- Right. I'll toss that on the policy once I go through the Journal namespace and move any pages that need to be moved. Linkthewindow Talk 01:47, 17 July 2010 (BST)
I like this. I'd greatly appreciate limited protections for arbies, and with image undeletion we could crank the unused images scheduled deletion down to one week. I'm also thinking Event: and Group: could be added as namespaces in the future, but that's a whole new snake basket. 01:44, 17 July 2010 (BST)
- Event: and Group: would require the moving of several thousand pages and a lot of reorganization. If someone wanted to code a bot, it could be done, but now, it's too much effort for too little reward. Linkthewindow Talk 01:47, 17 July 2010 (BST)
- There's an extension somewhere that allows the creation of new namespaces by sysops without having to mess with the server. If there's enough demand, I'll find it again (it's been a few years...) and add it to the policy. Linkthewindow Talk 15:34, 17 July 2010 (BST)
- Added after a brief chat with Mis on IRC. No harm with having it there. If anyone has a problem with it, post nao. Linkthewindow Talk 05:32, 18 July 2010 (BST)
Yes. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 03:21, 17 July 2010 (BST)
I like this. Semi-Protection would really help deal with some of the most basic vandalism cases, where new alts are created to vandalise drama hotspots.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 11:06, 17 July 2010 (BST)
I'd vote for this. But pretty dumb that it has to come down to this. Did you even get a response on his talk page?--Thadeous Oakley 11:13, 17 July 2010 (BST)
- We've only ever gotten inconclusive responses. Linkthewindow Talk 12:42, 17 July 2010 (BST)
Wheeee! I was going to toss this up myself, but Link beat me to it. I'll vote for it.-- Adward 12:21, 17 July 2010 (BST)
I speedy approve of this petition. --Maverick Talk - OBR 404 18:29, 17 July 2010 (BST)
Why Not Upgrade?
Simple question really. Cost? Backwards compatibility? Effort? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:26, 17 July 2010 (BST)
- There's no real cost involved, backwards compatibility is a non-issue (with Wiki software) and it would only take a few hours to implement, max. I don't think Kevan's ever really gotten around to it. Linkthewindow Talk 12:40, 17 July 2010 (BST)
- It's one of those chore type things that you don't want to have to do.-- Adward 13:23, 17 July 2010 (BST)
- Yeah, true. I don't blame him for not doing it, it's just that he needs a poke as this is overdue ;) Linkthewindow Talk 15:33, 17 July 2010 (BST)
