Re:Interface edits

I'm just changing them to what they were on the old wiki. --Zæg 00:54, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Blocks

A 6 month ban on a single purpose vandalism account isn't really unreasonably long. If you give them 3 days you are just going to be banning them again every 3 days for the rest of your life. I would never ban a constructive contributor. If they sign up specifically to vandalize they will never be productive editors, they are here to destroy, and if you give them a short ban you might not be there in a couple of days to catch them when their ban expires and they come back to do it again. I have seen someone get banned for 6 months for blanking an article and then 6 months later TO THE DAY blank it again once their ban expired. I noticed the prior ban and lol'd. I guess what I'm saying is that it wasn't malicious, I have just been doing this for a long time and in my experience vandal accounts are better off blocked. If they really want to edit productively, they will send an email to one of us or go on IRC to ask for an unblock. No hard feelings I hope. --Zæg 23:53, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

POTN

Hey, when you select a new POTN, edit the main POTN page too so folks know it's been picked. kthxbai --Kashiwaba Tomoe 22:25, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

  • lol I guess we were editing at same time. --Kashiwaba Tomoe 22:34, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Editnotices

Sorry for intruding, but did you intend to introduct Wikipedia-style editnotices? If they work the same way here as they do on Wikipedia and Wikia, then you need to modify the MediaWiki namespace:

  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-0 – (main) / article
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-1 – Talk
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-2 – User
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-3 – User_talk
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-4 – Project / Encyclopedia_Dramatica
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-5 – Project_talk / Encyclopedia_Dramatica_talk
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-6 – File
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-7 – File_talk
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-8 – MediaWiki
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-9 – MediaWiki_talk
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-10 – Template
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-11 – Template_talk
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-12 – Help
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-13 – Help_talk
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-14 – Category
  • MediaWiki:Editnotice-15 – Category_talk

Try filling them in with the following:

{{#ifexist:{{FULLPAGENAME}}/Editnotice
|{{:{{FULLPAGENAME}}/Editnotice}}
|<choose a default message or leave blank>
}}

I never modified these sort of pages, but it seems to work on the MediaWiki wiki. --JuniusThaddeus 20:48, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome. --JuniusThaddeus 23:35, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

archive.org

I just put it up there as a tip of the hat to them. --zaiger (talk) 01:57, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Also AOTN should go up in a 2 day rotation. I didn't realize nobody was changing it, if that is the case I will take care of it. --zaiger (talk) 01:59, 21 May 2011 (UTC) nm I misunderstood what was happening. that's fine, we use to do it in 2-day increments or shit would get stale quick. People have been complaining that nobody is changing the AOTN anyway so it would be easier to do it 2 days at a time if that's the case. --zaiger (talk) 02:11, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
That is a very good idea. --zaiger (talk) 02:20, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

RE: Main Page

What should be improved? Or should we just have an entirely new main page?

Meepsheep

02:25, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

So should we design a completely new one, or stick with the media wiki default? 02:29, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

What are you using to view it?

RE: Holy fuck

Is the gap still there? I had to modify Template:Center. --JuniusThaddeus 16:10, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

The gap is presently caused by the 8pt font size. --JuniusThaddeus 16:14, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

So

Let me get this straight: MeetTheMedic aka Dr. Serbia is allowed to lie out of his asshole about both Sagechu and AmigaCam, yet we can't put actual facts on that page? How does that work? --Divx-Mongool 17:20, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

  • Oh wait you protected the actual good version. Thank you. --Divx-Mongool 17:21, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello, friend

Can't heklp but wonder why you protected a vandalized version of the otherwise epin Sagechu article. Why is that?--MeetTheMedic 17:46, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

  • I don't want to be condescending, but look how the protected version has "THE AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE IS WRONG AND IS ALSO A FAGGOT LEL!" on it...--MeetTheMedic 17:56, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Re: you being a faggot

What exactly needs to be cleaned up in that article? How is it array? --zaiger (talk) 00:00, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I am the one following you around reverting edits and just being a general cock, right. Why don't you get off my dick? --zaiger (talk) 00:03, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

AOTN

Hey when you add an AOTN could you also add it to the list, same with POTN. kthx. --Kashiwaba Tomoe 20:22, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
