| + | Why are all the links underlined all of a sudden? Is this a personal setting? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Well I found the setting in misc:personal settings, but it doesn't work help! and why is the default ugly underlined? --bak | ||
| − | -- | + | The links only underline for me when I hover over them. I checked me settings and the checkbox to underline links is checked (by default I think). --smong |
| − | + | == Browsing == | |
| + | Since the pages here load somewhat slowly, you may have noticed I'm trying to combine pages as much as I can. So I tried to incorporate all the Browse stuff into the main page. If anybody wants something else, please add it. Also, if everyone's happy with this, I'll delete the Browse page. (I didn't link it since it might get deleted, sorry.) --[[User:Cyan~Fire|Cyan~Fire]] | ||

| + | [[User:Mine GO BOOM|Mine GO BOOM]] 14:42, May 22, 2005 (EDT): I commented out all the old comments for now, since it was getting hard to read over the page. It might be useful to just edit them out, since its stored in the History anyways. As for why its going slow, its because someone else on this co-host is getting about 5 spam emails ''a second'' and exim/spamd cannot handle it. I've already complained to the host about it, and he says he will attempt to figure out if its all coming from one block, and if so, block them. | ||
| + | : For non-users, caching is already turned on, so its pretty snappy then, as the cache will stay valid until someone edits a page. I do like how the main page is turning out. | ||

| + | [[User:Smong|Smong]]: Firstly I'm putting this comment here because the page in question does not have a talk tab. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This [[Special:Wantedpages]] mentions Cyan~Fire's profile. I was wondering how the wanted pages page is generated. At first I thought it was any page that has been linked to but does not exist yet. But Grelminar does not yet have a profile page and he is linked from this main page. Also what is the [[MediaWiki:Wantedpages]] page? | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | Requires two links to be put on wanted page and I'm not quite sure what the second link is. [[User:Pests|Pests]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:Pests|Pests]]: Hey guys, anyone not like the flower image on the left? Any suggestions of what to change it to? I think a nice subspace shield would be cool. :) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | [[User:Mine GO BOOM|Mine GO BOOM]] 21:22, Jan 13, 2005 (EST): About the flower: Change it to whatever you want. Upload it to the Server Help thread and we'll vote on it there.<br> | ||
| + | To the Wanted Pages: The first one requires two links, thus it is 'wanted' more than other links. The second one: Who knows? It came with the default installation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:Pests|Pests]]: Any chance of renaming the wiki to something less specific? I only have sysop so not sure if its a possible option in higher levels. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Can we have some more wiki links on this page? [[User:i88gerbils|i88gerbils]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:Smong|Smong]]: Please don't change it to Continuum wiki, we must not forget Subspace. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | [[User:Mine GO BOOM|Mine GO BOOM]] 01:19, Jan 18, 2005 (EST): Go hog-wild. Since this is still Beta, do what you want. As for a name, can you think of anything better? | ||

| + | == Locking == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Why lock it? People may want to add internal links for things like Subgame or Continuum. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | I notice the module faq has several editable sections, can't you put the important bit in a non-editable section and then have an editable section open to all? --Smong | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | I agree, I wanted to put a "Getting Started" type link on the page since right now the site might seem a bit confusing to others to navigate. | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:Pests|Pests]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | Locking the main page is usually a good idea to prevent certain people from doing stupid things. | ||
| + | |||
| + | --[[User:Cyan~Fire|Cyan~Fire]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | [[User:Mine GO BOOM|Mine GO BOOM]]: Want to know why its locked? [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history MediaWiki's History] shows a bunch of idiots posting spam and defacing the site. If its subpages, not everyone will see it, and won't be as destructive. Doing it to the front page just becomes annoying, and I would not to not have to deal with it. Plus, I already mentioned that the admins here can hand out Sysop mode to people all they want, so if you have a good history of contributions, it won't be hard to be a sysop here. | ||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | [[User:CypherJF|CypherJF]] 08:42, Feb 24, 2005 (EST): Well, it doesn't stop people from modifying sub-pages; but it was really irritating that they futzed around w/ deleting the entire front page for their non-wiki standard compliant tag. Thanks for re-locking it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Quicklinks == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Akai: Mine, it'd be cool if you'd change that stupid "Quicklinks" <table> into a list like everything else. | ||
| + | |||
| + | What's wrong with them? --[[User:Cyan~Fire|Cyan~Fire]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:Pests|Pests]]: I think they make it very easy to find what your looking for. Opposed to clicking on categories, finding the right root-section out of all the subcategories, ect. When a new person wants quick help some of them either dont have the knowledge or the patence to do that. Putting a link right on the top of the page makes it so pages are easy to find. Dont like the table and you would perfect a list? Why? If you want I can change it to wiki style tables (using pipes). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Also, your allowed to change them if you want. But if someone else comes along and finds the majority of people like it the other way then expect them to get changed back. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Akai: I don't mind the placement or the way it looks, merely that it is using a table and inline styles. It's very annoying. | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:Pests|Pests]]: Tables are allowed. Thats why MediaWiki supports either html tables or the pipe syntax. Theres no other way style the tables to look how I want without using inline. Wikipedia does it as well, in fact, the table I use is basically a copy of one of theirs. Why is it so annoying? Maybe we could fix that. :) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Akai: I'll fix it when my comp is fully operational again. | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:Smong|Smong]]: I don't like having to scroll in any direction. A list would just make the page taller. | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:Akai|Akai]]: mooooo, I just said I don't mind how it looks - you can make an unordered list look just like that | ||
| + | |||
| + | just don't bother, will make a hip skin | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:Pests|Pests]]: Yeah, its possible. Why bother though? It works fine the way it is and others do it as well. I'm sure you might make some argument about it being the un-standard way of doing things, ect. I can pull it out of a table and put it into a div or span if you really want. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Comment Protocol == | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:Mine GO BOOM|Mine GO BOOM]] 09:21, Feb 24, 2005 (EST): Step one; if you make a comment, put it at the bottom so I don't have to use History's diff to even figure out what you wrote. Step two; if someone wants to deface a page, its a good 99% chance it will be the front page. Hacker, wiki losers, etc. Its always the front page. | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:Smong|Smong]]: I would like it if you could paste a summary of your text in the summary text field so I don't have to follow the link unless I want to comment further. | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[User:CypherJF|CypherJF]] 09:57, Feb 24, 2005 (EST): this whole thing needs to be cleaned up... a lot of old blabbering. | ||
| + | |||
| + | OK, I organised it, at the risk of people getting angry with me. Sorry if you mind me moving around you guys' posts. I just put general convo at the top. Mixed subject stuff was annoying, but there wasn't too much of it. Please, if you're bringing up a new subject, make a new section for it. --[[User:Cyan~Fire|Cyan~Fire]] | ||

Akai: <rolls eyes>
Mine GO BOOM 09:27, May 28, 2005 (EDT): Go run the VIE Subspace. What does it say in its title?
It says "SubSpace", as Akai has been promoting. And it's VIE Subspace. --Cyan~Fire

Anti-Spam
Mine GO BOOM 20:56, Mar 11, 2006 (EST): As it seems that the Wiki people don't care about automated spam bots, I had to do some of my own little hacking. This means, instead of some fancy scheme, I'll just add a simple human trick. In the Login/Create new Account page, there is a little check box (with a pretty variable name) that isn't on any other wiki site. That has to be checked for a new account to be created. If a human forgets it, the error message tells you so. And as you cannot edit a page without creating an account, this is a simple fix.
