===Great Fire ambiguity=== | |||
Hey as one of the wikizens around here that has a background with ALiM projects that goes back before the purge, we'd greatly appreciate if you went [[UDWiki:Administration/Arbitration#Cyberbob240_vs._2_Cool|here]] and testified. We are asking for witnesses who can confirm the fact that the page, [[Great Fire of 1912]] was indeed created by and largely moderated by myself and [[User:J3D]]. The task of claiming our creation over the page is complicated by the fact that no history is available to back up our claim due to the history purge.

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 Or just withdrawn and spamminated?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?) Lastly, for some reason, I'm getting the unprotect button instead of the protect button on almost every UDWiki namespace pages, like A/PM.-- AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 16:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

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)

I'm trying to figure out how to make an image link to another page, not just the image. <a href='whatever.html'><img src='whatver.jpg'></a> would work for HTML, but I can't find an equivalent here.

Grimch slippery like eelYou responded to a small section of a post i made. I can understand this. Unfortunately, the times for your responses were 5 and 7 minutes after i had removed the section to which you referred. Oops :D --The Grimch U! E! WAT! 15:34, 25 October 2007 (BST) Policy I'm Working On (Not Spam This Time.)Is this already in place, or does it still need to be put through? 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. Can you help me expand it, and fill it out if it isn't already in place and tell me if it is? Nalikill TALK E! W! M! USAI 00:11, 12 October 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".

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)

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)

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

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) |
