== $wgUseInstantCommons ==
== inactive accounts on deathrow ==
hi: the wiki is currently configured to display images from Wikimedia Commons when the file is missing locally. for instance a link to [[:File:112.jpg]] (a file that is either missing or was never here) uses a Commons redirect to a picture of a Volvo. pls see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/InstantCommons#Configuration this page] at MediaWiki.org. apparently $wgUseInstantCommons is currently set to true. i presume it needs to be set to false. :) [[User:Hipcrime|Hipcrime]] ([[User talk:Hipcrime|talk]]) 11:07, 10 December 2020 (PST)
== edit filter II electric etcetera ==
hi: the edit filter is tripping me up again:
<blockquote>Error: The text you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to a blacklisted external site. The following text is what triggered our spam filter: mywikibiz.com</blockquote>
is there any way to just do away with the entire edit filter? [[User:Hipcrime|Hipcrime]] ([[User talk:Hipcrime|talk]]) 12:14, 14 December 2020 (PST)
i don't control the blacklist thing, you might just hit up umk for that
== skipcaptcha rights ==
[[Special:ListGroupRights|At the moment]], only bots and administrators have the <code>skipcaptcha</code> right. This makes editing slow and tedious for everyone else. Can the <code>skipcaptcha</code> bit please be to granted to Autoconfirmed users, Automoderated users, and EDitors as well? --[[User:Ld3105|Ld3105]] ([[User talk:Ld3105|talk]]) 12:45, 2 March 2021 (EST)
:I have contacted the Webmaster about the issue and it will be done after the Image issue is fixed and the script imports are done. Meanwhile please wait [[File:Tabby-icon.png|32px|link=User:TabbyGarf]] <font face="Comic Sans MS"><big>[[User:TabbyGarf|<span style="color: #eea300">'''Conciërge Kapitein-Commandant Tabs'''</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:TabbyGarf|æ]][[Special:Contributions/TabbyGarf|✎]][[Special:ListAdmins|♛]]</sup></font></big> 13:14, 2 March 2021 (EST)
:*Yeah, and while we're at it, get rid of that arithmetic problem gate bullshit whenever we add new external links to articles. <big>•</big> [[User:Deceptive|<font style="font-weight:bold; font-size:12pt; color:gold; font-family:trebuchet ms; text-shadow:0 0 3px black">Deceptive</font>]] [[File:GC.png|50px|link=User talk:Deceptive]] 10:24, 3 March 2021 (EST)
I would like to give an update to our progress and what we have left to do. <br>
Our first priority is to fix the images. I am happy to report a solution has been found and is being implemented. We are waiting on the webmaster to download the sorted files. <br>
In the meantime, LD3105 and others should hold off uploading images. First, the files will not overwrite when using mass uploader, or when caught in the mod que. Technically the files are not in the right directory, but the wiki does not know that <br>
Second, it may be redundant. The fix we are working on should be done by tomorrow, so most of these files should be there. We will have broken files primarily from 2018 onward. Those should not trigger the overwrite flag. <br>
Once that is done, we will work on the Issues hipcrime and Co. have laid out. (commons linking, spam filter, skipcaptcha, moderation, and increasing the size of forum icons). <br>
I thought Admins can modify the whitelist and blacklist, I think it's a wiki page? I will check. I will also ask for the localsettings.php , with the server info redacted and allow you guys to suggest changes to it. I will DM hipcrime, Tabs, and whoever else on the forum.<br>
I'm not a wiki guy, so excuse my lack of knowledge. I will try to get this fixed ASAP, or point you to the right direction. Hopefully this week we will be at 99%. --[[User:Umkemesik|Umkemesik]]
:*Yes, the [[MediaWiki:Titleblacklist|blacklist]] and [[MediaWiki:Titlewhitelist|whitelist]] [[Mediawiki:Spam-whitelist|pages]] (examples given) are in fact wiki pages, under the "MediaWiki:" namespace, however I don't seem to have editing access to them, so I cannot modify them. <big>•</big> [[User:Deceptive|<font style="font-weight:bold; font-size:12pt; color:gold; font-family:trebuchet ms; text-shadow:0 0 3px black">Deceptive</font>]] [[File:GC.png|50px|link=User talk:Deceptive]] 10:08, 4 March 2021 (EST)
:*Oh, and @TabbyGarf: You don't need to superprotect pages under the MediaWiki namespace, as only admins can edit those pages by default. That's just a completely redundant step. <big>•</big> [[User:Deceptive|<font style="font-weight:bold; font-size:12pt; color:gold; font-family:trebuchet ms; text-shadow:0 0 3px black">Deceptive</font>]] [[File:GC.png|50px|link=User talk:Deceptive]] 11:31, 4 March 2021 (EST)
== Archive page ==
Regarding [[Encyclopedia Dramatica:Archives|the archive page]]: Does ED even want to provide public archives right now?
If not, the page might as well be flushed or at least removed from Sitenotice --[[User:Maysam|Maysam]] ([[User talk:Maysam|talk]]) 05:38, 11 March 2021 (EST)
:*Not sure, but [[User:TabbyGarf|TabbyGarf]] seems to have put his own links [[Encyclopedia Dramatica:Archives#2020|in there]], and based on what I've seen, they lead to some useless, static HTML pages. Unless he needs to fix something, these links are completely useless. <big>•</big> [[User:Deceptive|<font style="font-weight:bold; font-size:12pt; color:gold; font-family:trebuchet ms; text-shadow:0 0 3px black">Deceptive</font>]] [[File:GC.png|50px|link=User talk:Deceptive]] 13:39, 11 March 2021 (EST)
:*Oh wait, these are XML files, and my browser rendered them wrong initially as static HTML. These archives seem to contain a lot of data from ED, so ''not'' useless lol. <big>•</big> [[User:Deceptive|<font style="font-weight:bold; font-size:12pt; color:gold; font-family:trebuchet ms; text-shadow:0 0 3px black">Deceptive</font>]] [[File:GC.png|50px|link=User talk:Deceptive]] 13:49, 11 March 2021 (EST)

::*{{greentext|i'm quite busy with other shit.}}
::*Of course, you're making a Sports portal. (Yes, I do lurk the forums occasionally, not a big fan of forums though.) And it also appears that a particular individual, who shall not be named, is getting another chance at editing the wiki, provided [[lie|he doesn't fuck it up in the process]]. <big>•</big> [[User:Deceptive|<font style="font-weight:bold; font-size:12pt; color:gold; font-family:trebuchet ms; text-shadow:0 0 3px black">Deceptive</font>]] [[File:GC.png|50px|link=User talk:Deceptive]] 15:13, 11 March 2021 (EST)
::*Yes, Maysam, let's keep the archive page. We should generate another XML backup at the end of this month, and every quarter thereafter. I also am requesting a backend copy from our new webmaster.

::*Okay, thanks everyone. I just wanted to check that the Archive link in Sitenotice makes sense and isn't opposed to some "archives are secret insider stuff" policy or whatever. My pet project of cleaning up Sitenotice is pretty much finished then I guess. Unless we want to try and draw more people to the forums or pisscord. In that case I'd suggest making those symbols larger. But that's another topic. [[User:Maysam|Maysam]] ([[User talk:Maysam|talk]]) 10:02, 17 March 2021 (EDT)
== Logo Change ==
I think we should change the main (restoration) logo on the main page. We can keep the restoration logo in all other uses. But I think it's time for ED to finally use the default logo. The crossing saber [[File:Ed_updates_logo_-_vector.png|50px|logo on discord]] (inverting the colors), or [[File:EDsnewlogo.png|50px|maybe this one]] should be the our main one. What say you?

:*We should also set the browser favicon as well (is this handled by LocalSettings.php?), as right now it's just a standard web globe icon. The first one (crossing saber) could be used for that. As for the actual wiki logo, I think we should have a completely new branding, and make a new logo from scratch. I'll make a few renditions, and post them here when I'm done, and see what you guys think... <big>•</big> [[User:Deceptive|<font style="font-weight:bold; font-size:12pt; color:gold; font-family:trebuchet ms; text-shadow:0 0 3px black">Deceptive</font>]] [[File:GC.png|50px|link=User talk:Deceptive]] 11:45, 13 March 2021 (EST)
::*Yes, forgot about that. We do plan to change the favicon ($wgFavicon), I will shoot that to our webmaster. Excellent idea, I am very excited to see what you come up with. The restoration logo that we are using looks great, but for the main site I want something a little more traditional, at least the color scheme. I have had several request to change it.[[User:Umkemesik|<font style="font-weight:900; font-size: large; color:gold; font-family:comic sans ms; text-shadow:0 0 3px black;">UMK</font>]] [[File:UMK.gif|50px|link=User talk:Umkemesik]] [[Special:Contributions/Umkemesik|✎]][[Special:ListAdmins|♛]] 12:28, 13 March 2021 (EST)
:::*I noticed you're trying to upload a favicon. I've uploaded an [[:File:EDBrowserFavicon.png|HD (super-sampled) favicon with trimmed edges]] to get as much of the æ symbol in it as much as possible. And favicons are always 16x16 pixels. I've noticed that you use a program called "ImageReady" (based on image metadata) to edit/resize images. However, I recommend you use [https://www.getpaint.net/ Paint.Net], as it's very versatile and easy to use. You can also download plugins for it [https://forums.getpaint.net/forum/44-plugin-packs/ here], no need to torrent anything. I recommend you check it out as an alternative to what you use now. <big>•</big> [[User:Deceptive|<font style="font-weight:bold; font-size:12pt; color:gold; font-family:trebuchet ms; text-shadow:0 0 3px black">Deceptive</font>]] [[File:GC.png|50px|link=User talk:Deceptive]] 13:53, 13 March 2021 (EST)
:::*This is what I've made so far. I'll make more later, but here is the list. This is a template, so the raw code is [[User:Deceptive/LogoGallery|here]]. I plan on updating the list with new ideas periodically, and they will show up here.
how stale is the user list in [[:Category:Deathrow]]? user creation is locked, right? which of those users actually need to be banned and which just need their user pages purged? is there a date to use for reference? [[User:H64|h64]] ([[User talk:H64|talk]]) 12:33, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Check out [[Special:Wantedpages]]. Many articles in here may be lost forever, check the wayback machine.
'''Bored?'''
== 4chan hack ==
Check out [[Special:Lonelypages]]. These pages have fallen into the dustbin because nothing links to them. There's a lot of crap but many gems that might need a bit of polishing. And especially something on another page linking to it!
The hack has subsided, everybody's talking and acting the same now on the site lol. Can we get rid of the current threat and change it to something more relevant?[[User:Globe-kun|Globe-kun]] ([[User talk:Globe-kun|talk]]) 20:05, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

Welcome to the Thizzlehat Junction Center. This is your place to mention news and anything needing adminly attention. You can also use the shortcut TJC.
While you wait for attention, have a look at what needs to be done around here by clicking the shiny blue links below.
Real-time discussion about ED content and/or help from an ED Sysop can be found on ED Discord Serveron IRC.Check your fear, drama and faggotry at the door.
About ED
Fashioned in the spirit of Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary, Encyclopedia Dramatica's purpose is to provide a central catalog for the e-public to view parody and satire of drama, memes, e-pals, and other interesting happenings on the Internets. Our goal is to provide comprehensive, reference-style parody, to poke fun at everyone and everything. You can read more about the origin of Encyclopedia Dramatica in our About section.
Policy
Before making any contributions, be sure you have read over all of our policies. We will not hesitate to revert any idiotic edits and call you out for your stupidity.
Ways to Help
Users
All are welcome, as long as you read and agree to the general disclaimer. The only real requirement is to create an email-confirmed account to edit articles (no anonymous editing allowed). GO TO THE FORUM, OUR CURRENT DISCORD SERVER, OR ASK ONE OF OUR ADMINS ON THEIR USER-TALK-PAGES FOR HELP. KTHX.
General
Got a lulzworthy subject you feel needs to be written about? Submit it to the Needed/Proposed page and someone might pick it up. Make sure you check to see if there's already an article about the subject first.
Write an article. This is the best thing you can do for ED.
Check the Bad New Articles portal to see if there's anything that ought to be expanded or cleaned up.Avoid putting deathnotices on articles as there are usually better ways to do shit
Check the list of wanted articles. This is automatically generated when two or more pages contain links to a page that doesn't yet exist.
Add images to articles, or upload better versions of wanted images. Make sure you give your image a detailed name instead of a bunch of symbols or numbers so search engines can actually find them and link to them easier.
Browse though unused images and files and find homes for them. Do not delete or put death notices on duplicate images, use the {{duplicate}} template instead.
Categorize articles. We have a list of existing categories and a list of uncategorized articles. To add an article to a category, click that page's edit link and at the bottom of the entry, type [[Category: (name of category)]] and click "Save Page." Use the "Show Preview" button to make sure you typed a category that exists (red links mean you failed). DO NOT create new categories.
Update/Rotate a Portal. Seriously, this would be highly appreciated. The goal is to have each one changed once every two weeks or so. Anyone can do this.
Request editor privs
If you're interested in helping out further, request editor privs, assuming you've been around for a couple months or have otherwise proved yourself.
Editors are able to move and edit protected pages. They are expected to help maintain the Main Page. If you're a recently promoted editor and are unsure about something, ask for assistance. Don't be afraid of making mistakes.
Check to make sure all the XOTN are set for the Main Page
Review NewFiles for content that violates ED Policy. Editors can tag with {{delete}}.
