:::I know we ''could'' fit them somewhere, I just don't feel that it is a good thing. They are usually a community resource, and even though they are survivor POV, they should remain as a community page if possible. I don't remember much drama coming from them before the Dunell Hills situation.

::::::::I could see this becoming Wan's a/a case v2.0...the wiki is here to provide information to players, barricade plans (majority enforced ones) do that...while i can understand some people not liking them on the suburb page that should at the very least have a full sized heading explaining the purpose of the cade plan, the major local groups who endorse it and to what scale it is followed with a sizeable link to the actual cade plan because as much as you might not like them they are an important resource for survivor players.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 10:42, 24 July 2008 (BST) | |||
:::::::::That's one of the great ironies about this, they aren't, the other one, of course, is that the same people that use them now will still use them if they're moved off of the suburb pages.--<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 11:07, 24 July 2008 (BST) | |||
::::::::As a self confessed zombie player you aren't really the right person to judge whether or not cade plans are an important survivor resource. While i agree they are largely bullshit i use them when i'm out of town and need to find an ep, you'd be suprised how often the ep the cade plan points to is the one that is in use, regardless of whether or not i feel it is the most logical choice for an entry point to a resource building. Anyway as to your second point - i agree, so move them to a subpage of the suburb ''but'' keep them well linked so people can find them! If a suburb is having a tantrum then you can look into splitting them into 'group cade plans' or whatever but 99% suburbs don't need that.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 13:01, 24 July 2008 (BST) | |||
:::::::::I'm a zombie player, not an idiot. That being said I have frequently participated in the survivor game for quite some time now, it's both how I started playing and how I ended playing, I classify myself as a zombie player not because I'm biased to their side but because I refuse to associate myself with the "survivor" mindset and I prefer the "zombie" metagame. And to refrain from using a segway I've already used; [[Talk:NPOV|I've had this discussion before]] and wasn't the only one who came to the conclusion, 99% of them aren't followed and never have been(I only know of one suburb that I could ever say consistently did).--<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> | |||
::::It's not "an occasional dispute" this has been going on for over 2 years now and it's because of the absurdly POV nature of them that contributes to the general POV nature of the suburb pages.

Cheers chaps, --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 17:31, 12 July 2008 (BST) | |||
Thanks for the comments boxy. In answer to your questions. | |||
*Yes. It will be time consuming, about 6 weeks worth in fact. But i reckon I can probably remove 30% of all groups. After which it will be less stressful, they've just never been properly done before. | |||
*In future I will make it burb specific, but for now its just the truly inactive groups im purging. Besides who wants to get dragged into a "Were active in this suburb" debate? A hilly suburb on our western border alone would probably implode if i asked that question. I will make the cahnge but not yet. | |||

QuestionsSo, with the suggestions. It says: Individual suggestion pages that were spamminated or removed from voting. Does that mean any page that has closed? Or just withdrawn and spamminated? Matts wording was: for spamminated or otherwise closed from voting suggestions. So I suppose that qualifies for a schedueled protection, right? (And do I need to put the Template:Protect?)

Sorry for turning your Talk page into a free-for-all discussion (below), as that was not my intent. As such, I have started this new topic just to clarify your recent suggestion. To confirm, you are suggesting that I edit the Template:Suburb to include a link to NecroWatch (to the relevant suburb section) among the other links (i.e. iWitness, ect)? --Mobius187 19:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Animated GIFs and Sysop-domFirst, the major topic. It would appear that Grim is cleaning house in the Sysop list, which is a noble effort as I like to do something similar with my efforts on managing group member lists. No point including someone who isn't around, or contributing. I gave it some thought and if he is set on this course of action I think it would be in our mutual best interests for me to step down as a Sysop. That allows him to better manage the Sysop list (i.e. only listing those who really are there to perform those duties) and I get back to what I do best, non-Sysop work on the UD Wiki. My only real complaint was the implication that I was just being lazy, when in fact I never agreed to do anything more than I currently was doing. So, yeah. It was fun, sort of, but I'll step down to resolve this issue. So I suppose my question is, what do I need to do in order to do that? --Mobius187 00:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Next topic, and one slightly less important, how much leeway do you grant to animated GIFs in terms of the recommended maximum image file size (i.e. 150KB)? In my opinion the file size limit is in place to prevent huge image files or such that take forever to load and thus slow-down the load rate for the Wiki. Right? In the case animated GIF files the GIF can load similar to streamed video, with the key factor being how long it takes to load a single frame. In this case I have an animated file with 50 frames, each 10-13KB each (125x100px, meant for a template). In total that's a file size of 550+KB, but the animated GIF will start up based on the load times of the individual images, or a few each second or so until it gets up to full speed having loaded all of them, but at no time are users left staring at nothing. I have tried to lessen the number of images, but as the animated GIF is not a sequence, but rather a series of random images associated with my topic, reducing their number lessens the original purpose. I can show you by uploading the 50-frame animated GIF to the Wiki, and you could delete it should you find it unacceptable, but I wanted to check with you first before doing anything along those lines. --Mobius187 00:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

My policy: One of the most basic newbie mistakes is to create a userpage under YourName rather than User:YourName. This can be incredibly frustrating to wiki users that try to find if that person has a userpage, and can confuse the person when they are welcomed on their User Talk:YourName page, not to mention if they vandalize- accidentally or not- and they need to be warned or banned. This is a problem that needs to be minimized as much as is possible, and so sysops need the power to merge these pages on sight, rather than having to go through other approval.

I don't know if you have a Facebook account of your own to try it out, but should/could this be advertised somewhere? Perhaps the news on the front page? I'm not sure what's appropriate here, so you seem the best person to come to. 'arm. 20:10, 23 September 2007 (BST)
Gah....Is it me or is there nothing to do but help Project Welcome these days? --User:Axe27/Sig 03:27, 23 September 2007 (BST)
Historical Group NominationI want to nominate The Profile Police for historical group. I've created the page and stuff, but don't know how to (or if I'm allowed to) get the information on the main page in that little news thingy. Can ya point me in the right direction? Thanks, --8 Bucks 19:34, 15 August 2007 (BST) Nevermind, I think I got it. Thanks anyway. --8 Bucks 22:50, 15 August 2007 (BST) QuestionCan you check my User Page? I have got some problems with templates there. The "Here's the key" template is jumping of all other templates. How is that possible? Can you help? -- Savant Chit-Chat 09:36, 14 August 2007 (BST)
CodeCould you give me the raw code of your sig on my talk page? Thanks. --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 04:19, 25 August 2007 (BST) SigYour new sig is quite nice but it only displays day of the week not day of the month. That might create some confusion as all days are used four times in the month. worth looking into?-- Vista +1 23:17, 30 July 2007 (BST)
Wha? I only just got that all those "unsigned" posts are infact your new sig. That's even more subversive that Swiers' "." sig he was using for a while. 'arm. 04:17, 31 July 2007 (BST)
I am at one with teh newbs >:) (BTW, the thought occurred to me while reading some of your attempts to get n00bs to sign, arm) The preceding signed comment was added by boxy (talk • contribs) at 03:52 1 August 2007 (BST)
UnsignedSorry. I've been using {{unsigned}} all day, but it that case he put a comment with a sig, then deleted it when he had second thoughts and voted keep. But then forgot his sig. But yes, no more adding sigs for people. I tend to add {{unsigned}} and if they are new put something on their talk page reminding them how to sign. But everyone forgets now and again. 'arm. 18:10, 27 July 2007 (BST) A wiki questionI was looking about the wiki for a page that included "Celebrity Sightings". You know, people could post up things like, "I was fortunate enough to be eaten by the Zombie Keith Moon!" with a link to the profile of the celebrity. Any idea if one exists, and if not, what would I need to do to get one started? --8 Bucks 19:42, 25 July 2007 (BST)
G. DelarueIt's a description of George Relarue whoever that is(page name might be a misspelling). Anyway it describes where he was born and certain points of his career as general and such(basically a character history of why he's in Malton). It's basically a character description but might be a person description, only problems with that are it sets the date he came to Malton as March 2007 and also said he has returned. Then again my French isn't what it used to be. Hope that helps.--Karekmaps?! 03:58, 23 July 2007 (BST)
sorryaw sorry about the recruitment thing, i did notice all of the other ads gone and i wondered if i did something bad lol, sorry, im new at this —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Butthead (talk • contribs) 06:24, July 22, 2007. May I ask why?Why did you delete the the header off the welcomenewbie template? --User:Axe27/Sig 16:56, 14 July 2007 (BST) Rouge Heart Aces wiki pagesHi, It was my first time making a wiki page, so I'm just wondering why you changed my sub-pages from RHA to Rouge Heart Aces? This is for future reference if I'm making any more sub pages for Rouge Heart Aces (RHA) cheers --Sgt Beebus (Merc for hire) 16:45, 13 July 2007 (BST) RE: TemplateNo I think I'm doing pretty Well for my first time making one. Thanks Though!--Jackass Alex 11:08, 12 July 2007 (BST) Category:Barricade plansThanks, I don't know what got into me with that link you fixed. (In case you hadn't guessed from recent changes today, we has a plan for this.) -- Atticus Rex mfu pif Δ 07:36, 9 July 2007 (BST)
Defining NPOVI was going over old talk pages and such and noticed that you were interested in building a real and applicable description for NPOV for the Urban Dead wiki, when I checked I saw it still has never been done. The wikipedia description of NPOV has many major short coming when applied here and there are plenty of flaws with applying it and I think defining NPOV for Urban Dead is a necessary thing that could settle a lot of disputes. It is also something I've been looking for a way to try to do and get a consensus from users on for quite a while. So, that being said I would like to talk with you about setting up a definition for NPOV for the wiki through discussion of POV issues and such to see if we, and other users in the community, can come to a definitive conclusion on what can and can't be allowed(such as we all know that original research must be allowed but what about requiring proof, etc.). I'm sure we could discuss it on talk pages but mabey it would be best if we did it on the NPOV page talk page so everyone could participate and announce it as wiki news.--karek 23:35, 7 July 2007 (BST)
erroneous "article"Somehow, this user talk page is included as an article at the bottom of Category:Current_Suggestions. And because I'm not fully sure how those those inclusions work, I can't work out why. Is it my fault for putting "Suggestion:Lie Down" as a link on his talk page? 'arm. 00:44, 8 July 2007 (BST)
Help with imagesHi, I was wondering if it is possible to control the height of images, so far I only know how to control the width (by adding --px as part of the image link) but can't find any reference to controlling the height. And it would be nice to be able to do so, for editing the recruitment page as sometimes the images are too large. Thanks in advance. - Whitehouse 19:02, 1 July 2007 (BST)
Thanks for the help. - Whitehouse 17:10, 2 July 2007 (BST) Main PageMain Page/new Whaddyasay ?

Festivals/EventsI noticed the "Community Portal" on the UD wiki seemed to advertise various types of news. Would this include in-game events created by players, such as Biertag? --Mobius187 June 20 2007, 8:52 AM (EST)
ThanksI'm new to winkis never used them till now, But I'm a fast learner. --User:lighterdark 10:12, 9 June 2007 (BST) Die a painful deathNah. I have two things to ask you: First, check my talk page as I asked you for some insight pertaining your template's formatting request. Second, look at User_talk:Kevan for something I found out about 8 months ago and told people about in several occasions but no one noted nor bothered to ask. --Matthew Fahrenheit YRC☺T☺+1 07:08, 14 May 2007 (BST) sysop template alignmentYeah that wanked about half the inclusions (following text/template did not wrap well) so I rolled it back. --Max Grivas JG / M.F.T. 07:11, 2 May 2007 (BST)
Blah Blah BlahFool, all the text on my page is pink. Therefore, you shouldn't need to highlight anything. Thanks for the compliments though!--Lachryma☭ 20:07, 29 April 2007 (BST)
templatesAre totally fucked on my talk page. I want to fix 'em, then archive 'em. How do I fix 'em?? And yes, I know the page is too long. --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 12:14, 3 April 2007 (BST) Erm, how do I align the Mod template on my page to the right? --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 02:55, 28 April 2007 (BST)
A friendly advicePlease use the preview button (next to the "save page" button when editing) before saving, to ensure the changes you are making are going to work as expected. This saves you from creating multiple minor changes that "spam" the recent changes page for other users. --~~~~
Renaming Sub-Group WikipagesI'm not sure if you are aware of this, but I cannot appear to rename a sub-group wikipage within the Category tag. For example, say I have the page Dead vs Blue/Members. Now say I wanted to put a category tag in their to group it with the other Dead vs Blue sub-pages (i.e. [[Category:Dead vs Blue]]). Now in that category page it will appear as Dead vs Blue/Members, even if on the wikipage I placed the tag as: [[Category:Dead vs Blue|Members]]. This is in contrast to how users can apparently edit how a location wikipage is categorized, namely by remove "The" from its title in order to properly alphabeticize it in the list. --Mobius187 April 10 2007, 8:51 AM
ProjectsYou might be interested in this page that I am working on, about helping newbies in all sorts of areas. At the moment, I've pretty much finished an advanced signature template walk though. Give me a few pointers perhaps on my talk page? --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 04:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC) You asked the big man yet whether there is a way of adding the welcome newbie template automatically to a new user's page?? --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 11:54, 27 March 2007 (BST)
Whats withThe width change? --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 02:01, 26 May 2007 (BST)
Project SleepYou might be interested. Check it out and tell me what you think. --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 09:15, 19 May 2007 (BST) Oh, and also have a look at this page. It's just a sketchy idea of how the help section could be set out better. I think it needs a proper home page rather than a template at the bottom of the page. What do you think? Oh, I also want to revive Project Wiki Patrol. Appoint people specific tasks on the wiki, like maintaining the group advertisement page (which needs constant deleting and reformatting). --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 11:48, 19 May 2007 (BST) |
