  • [13:09:21] <Kirkburn> My view is, do as many as possible, and get a highly experienced member to do it

  • [13:10:37] <PanSola> Kira: it'd primarily be in Entertainment, but you are welcome to also connect it to the gaming hub
  • [13:10:37] <GPT> PanSola: all I can see is "halopedians: how about you guys?" what were you asking?
  • [13:10:40] <Kirkburn> It can be in more than one hub anyway
  • [13:10:48] <Kodia> Online Gaming Radio Network, a show on their site. We'll see if it pans out, but there is an untapped resource there I think for gaming wikis, which is why I bring it up.

  • [13:22:19] <Sunderland2006> The Second Kirka: #Armyoftwo is there
  • [13:22:30] <hexedmagica> Azul: i've been doing stuff, mainly school
  • [13:22:31] <Hunterj|TV> http://moh.wikia.com/wiki/Medal_of_Honor:About
  • [13:22:39] <The_Second_Kira> i cant access it
  • [13:22:41] <Azul81677> Ahhh
  • [13:22:43] <Hunterj|TV> that is one of HIS 'policies'
  • [13:22:57] <The_Second_Kira> Kirka?who is that?
  • [13:23:06] <Sunderland2006> oh Kira sorry

  • [13:23:21] <Hunterj|TV> http://moh.wikia.com/wiki/Medal_of_Honor:Community_Portal
  • [13:23:24] <Cactuar83> Yeah
  • [13:23:36] <Hunterj|TV> that is another problem
  • [13:23:43] <Cactuar83> It says access blocked to final fantasy
  • [13:23:47] <SpartanS-073> ......
  • [13:23:53] <PanSola> Hunterj|TV: considering the founder has not appeared since April of 2007
  • [13:24:00] <PanSola> I suggest you ignore every single rule of his
  • [13:24:04] <Hunterj|TV> moh wikia is messed up due to irresponsible 'owner' who never apears
  • [13:24:08] <Kodia> Azul: if i recall correctly it's #ffxi
  • [13:24:08] <Hunterj|TV> yes I agre
  • [13:24:08] <SpartanS-073> ...
  • [13:24:09] <PanSola> just go ahead and edit
  • [13:24:12] * Parts: Markie996
  • [13:24:17] <SpartanS-073> .
  • [13:24:19] <PanSola> then once you have 20 (or was it 60?) quality edits
  • [13:24:19] <SpartanS-073> hmm
  • [13:24:26] <Azul81677> Thats for the FFXI site
  • [13:24:26] <PanSola> talk to staff about adopting it
  • [13:24:31] <Hunterj|TV> problem is no one else has a adminship
  • [13:24:34] <Kodia> sorry: #ffxiclopedia
  • [13:24:52] <Kodia> (I'm passing along info from someone else. i'm not in that channel)
  • [13:24:53] <PanSola> Hunterj|TV: well, you don'tneed adminship unless you need to delete or unprotect pages
  • [13:25:05] <Azul81677> I'll ask an admin right now
  • [13:25:10] <Cactuar83> can someone give me a link on how to setup a channel
  • [13:25:20] <PanSola> Cactuar83: google.com
  • [13:25:24] <Hunterj|TV> I don't know enough to be a huge help there.,.. own one game... but I can help anyway
  • [13:25:29] <NCC-1701-E> Cactuar83: All you do is join the channel, and the register with ChanServ - that's it
  • [13:25:38] <Sunderland2006> WHO WANTED ARMYOFTWO CHANNEL
  • [13:25:41] <NCC-1701-E> However, the channel has to be empty
  • [13:25:41] <Hunterj|TV> anyway what's this about adopting?
  • [13:25:42] <Sunderland2006> oops caps
  • [13:25:42] <PanSola> Hunterj|TV: you got 1, I got 0. You are already better than me
  • [13:25:54] <Hunterj|TV> how would that work?
  • [13:25:57] <Hunterj|TV> :)
  • [13:26:00] <PanSola> adopting = become the new admin being responsible for the wiki
  • [13:26:14] <Azul81677> Like we did for the Kingdom Hearts Wiki
  • [13:26:22] * Parts: James-001
  • [13:26:24] <PanSola> after a certain number of quality edits, and if the old admins haven't been around for 2 months
  • [13:26:24] <Cactuar83> It says access is blocked
  • [13:26:33] <PanSola> you can talk to the community team about adopting the wiki
  • [13:26:36] <Sunderland2006> This is important, who wanted a channel for Armyoftwon
  • [13:26:38] <PanSola> and they'll make you sysop adn bcrat
  • [13:26:44] <Sunderland2006> *Armyoftwo
  • [13:26:53] <Hunterj|TV> ok, right edit, then admin (through adopt), I could help out and keep it good untill some moh intelligenjt person comes and can be admin :)
  • [13:26:57] <Azul81677> Cactuar:I'm asking the Admin of the FFWiki
  • [13:27:03] <Cactuar83> OK
  • [13:27:21] * Joins: Epic_Snail
  • [13:27:24] <Hunterj|TV> Assassins Creed wikia is good, I'm grammatizing it but content is great
  • [13:27:25] <PanSola> hi Epic_Phail
  • [13:27:28] <Sunderland2006> #Armyoftwo
  • [13:27:30] <Epic_Phail> HI PanSola
  • [13:27:35] <PanSola> Hunterj|TV: I just unprotected the about page for Medal of Honor
  • [13:27:41] <Hunterj|TV> ok thanks
  • [13:27:42] <Epic_Snail> i always forget these damn meetings...
  • [13:27:49] <PanSola> oops I meant to greet Epic_Snail
  • [13:27:50] * Epic_Snail is now known as Simonrjh
  • [13:28:02] <Simonrjh> yeah, well
  • [13:28:03] <PanSola> hi Simon (-:
  • [13:28:07] <Hunterj|TV> can you please put something on there to disregard it and why etc... I don't know what to put there
  • [13:28:07] <Simonrjh> hi
  • [13:28:24] <Hunterj|TV> PanSola: My last comment was for you
  • [13:28:29] <PanSola> Hunterj|TV: will do
  • [13:28:41] <Hunterj|TV> nd would the admin stay admin if I adopted it?
  • [13:28:54] <Azul81677> yeah
  • [13:28:54] <Epic_Phail> Oh wait...
  • [13:28:58] <Epic_Phail> I haven't introduced myself
  • [13:29:03] <Azul81677> No one can be de-admined
  • [13:29:06] <Simonrjh> hmm...Gruntipedia has gone quiet
  • [13:29:14] <Kodia> people can be de-admin'd for just cause
  • [13:29:16] <Hunterj|TV> except by staff for a very good reason
  • [13:29:20] <Kodia> it is rare, however, that it happens
  • [13:29:31] * Epic_Phail is a rollback user at halopedia with over 3000 edits and is an admin and b-crat at army of two wiki and ace combat wiki
  • [13:29:37] <Dtm142> It's happened twice on the RuneScape Wiki.
  • [13:29:45] <Hunterj|TV> on SWGames it's happening due to to many admind that have made less than 3 edits... over 1 year
  • [13:29:47] <Dtm142> (Thrice if you count Sanns sock)
  • [13:29:47] * Quits: Warpath
  • [13:29:51] <Jack_Phoenix> whoo, lots of people here :o
  • [13:29:52] <PanSola> Hunterj|TV: the old admin would by default still keep his powers. But if he ever comes back and causes troubles, you can ask a community staff to intervene
  • [13:30:07] <Dtm142> And if he bes good, you have an extra admin :)
  • [13:30:19] <PanSola> like if he starts deleting pages he doesn't personally approve, that can be a good reason to remove his powers
  • [13:30:35] <PanSola> Hunterj|TV: anyways, the about page has been edited.
  • [13:30:38] <PanSola> check it out d-:
  • [13:30:59] <SpartanS-073> cyaz gonna go to PARADISE City
  • [13:31:06] <The_Second_Kira> bye
  • [13:31:08] <Cactuar83> Azul81677:So what happens
  • [13:31:08] * Quits: Dtm142
  • [13:31:15] <anc96> any good logo makers here?
  • [13:31:15] * Parts: SpartanS-073
  • [13:31:22] <Hunterj|TV> PanSola: If he doesn't come back then there is no problem as I can ignore him and his 'rules', if he does the staff can help, and IF it gets bigger and he doesn't come back then I ca nask him to be de-admined for disregarding wikia policies and inactivveness
  • [13:31:25] <Azul81677> I haven't gotten a response
  • [13:31:44] <MarioGalaxy> Oops, forgot to introduce myself. I'm an admin on the mario wikia and an admin and a bureaucrat on the metroid wikia

  • [13:35:13] <Hunterj|TV> PanSola:should I leave a media wikia message s oall editors can see it for a few days saying to just follow standard wikia policies or something?
  • [13:35:15] <Charitwo> no you aren't
  • [13:35:20] <realiorii> but i think i will stay here
  • [13:35:27] <Charitwo> you are not associated with us

  • [13:35:42] * Quits: MarioGalaxy
  • [13:35:48] <PanSola> Hunterj|TV: I think you can just remove anything the old admin wrote

  • [13:36:29] <Kodia> Cactuar83: you might try http://java.freenode.net/
  • [13:36:33] <Sky2042> DuTempete: I believe I was, though I could be incorrect. The point stands, however. I've seen 3 or 4 chats now; this is pretty bad.
  • [13:36:40] <NCC-1701-E> Cactuar83: Or get an IRC client
  • [13:36:49] <Kirkburn> Sky2042, go with the flow :)
  • [13:36:52] <PanSola> hi Latracent, which wiki are you from?
  • [13:36:54] <Latracent> Alright, need some help here... New to Final Fantasy XI, any pointers to give for lvling up and making money?
  • [13:36:59] <Kodia> EQ2i has gone through the 1.12 upgrade. It's .... ok
  • [13:37:03] <Sky2042> Kirkburn: that's the problem. there is no flow. xD
  • [13:37:15] <DuTempete> Quit your whining, Sky2042 :P
  • [13:37:19] <NCC-1701-E> java.freenode is so bloated
  • [13:37:46] <Latracent> The FFXI one lol
  • [13:37:48] <PanSola> Azul81677: Latracent needs help with a FF game
  • [13:37:52] <Sky2042> Me, whine?
  • [13:37:54] <Sky2042> :O
  • [13:37:55] <realiorii> yes^^
  • [13:37:56] <Latracent> It's the only FF game
  • [13:38:08] <uberfuzzy> you guys know there is a #ffxiclopedia channel right?
  • [13:38:14] <Latracent> online*
  • [13:38:33] <Kodia> Latracent: try joining #ffxiclopedia. Though personally FFXI is much like any other game. Quest. Kill things. There is no such thing as "fast" when it comes to money
  • [13:38:36] <Cactuar83> Can someone make a final fantasy irc channel?
  • [13:38:42] <Sky2042> Latracent: gold buying.
  • [13:38:43] <Cactuar83> It would be called
  • [13:38:49] <Cactuar83> #finalfantasy
  • [13:38:49] * Epic_Phail is now known as Halo_Man
  • [13:38:51] <Kodia> Cactuar there IS one: #ffxiclopedia
  • [13:38:53] <DuTempete> Well, it was nice. Keep on the productivity! I'm off for a super bowl party
  • [13:38:55] <Latracent> Alright, trying to figure out this IRC stuff...
  • [13:39:21] * DuTempete is now known as AFKTempete
  • [13:39:37] <Hunterj|TV> maybe they forget to look at the IRC tab on #FF?
  • [13:39:37] <uberfuzzy> Cactuar83: even if someone did create it, you would not be able to connect to it from wikia's irc client
  • [13:39:48] <Cactuar83> Ok
  • [13:39:51] <Cactuar83> why not
  • [13:40:19] <Cactuar83> uberfuzzy:why not
  • [13:40:38] <Azul81677> PanSola:Only FF game I haven't played
  • [13:40:44] <Azul81677> sorry "(
  • [13:40:46] <PanSola> Azul81677: haha ok
  • [13:41:10] <Cactuar83> Azul81677: any luck
  • [13:41:11] <uberfuzzy> wikia's irc client is for wikia channels, if you want to join other ones, like the rest of freenode or any other irc network, download a real irc client
  • [13:41:36] <PanSola> realiorii and Charitwo: cut it, both of you
  • [13:41:39] <PanSola> thanks
  • [13:42:37] <Cactuar83> The FF wiki and FFXIcylopedia are two different wikis therefore two different channels

  • [13:43:13] <Azul81677> I did
  • [13:43:15] <PanSola> The #finalfantasy wiki is registered
  • [13:43:18] <hexedmagica> we don't as far as i kniw
  • [13:43:34] <Azul81677> PanSola:where?
  • [13:43:38] <PanSola> here
  • [13:43:38] * Quits: Latracent
  • [13:43:40] <Charitwo> you could always make #wikia-finalfantasy
  • [13:43:42] <PanSola> on freenode
  • [13:43:46] <realiorii> he is gone?
  • [13:44:08] <Azul81677> link
  • [13:44:25] <PanSola> ok, I'll make the channel for you guys. What do you want the channel to be called? "#Finalfantasy" is taken
  • [13:44:34] <hexedmagica> ff?
  • [13:44:42] <PanSola> and by taken I mean someone else has the op so you can't get ops there
  • [13:44:46] <Cactuar83> FFWiki
  • [13:44:56] <hexedmagica> FFWiki works too
  • [13:45:37] <PanSola> ok the channel is registered
  • [13:45:53] <PanSola> you won't be able to access it yet from the IRC gateway I think
  • [13:46:05] <Azul81677> where from?
  • [13:46:09] <PanSola> but if you use mIRC, X-chat, or the java client, then you can join it
  • [13:46:25] <Azul81677> okay good
  • [13:46:26] <Azul81677> :)
  • [13:47:32] <PanSola> anyone else needs a channel for their wiki?
  • [13:47:55] <Cactuar83> how do I get to the channel]
  • [13:47:57] <Hunterj|TV> Rathcet & clank wikia has too few screename accounts to have one
  • [13:48:06] <PanSola> Cactuar83: type "/join #FFWiki"
  • [13:48:17] <Hunterj|TV> if the users logged in, as I'm encouraging them to....
  • [13:48:21] <Kirkburn> Caps don't matter, btw
  • [13:48:55] <Cactuar83> It says access blocked
  • [13:48:55] <PanSola> Hunterj|TV: maybe advertise about the benefits of being logged int
  • [13:49:24] <Kirkburn> Btw, add links to IRC channels in the sidebar
  • [13:49:34] <PanSola> Cactuar83: that is because you are connecting through the IRC gateway CGI
  • [13:49:35] <Kirkburn> Helps get people on it
  • [13:50:03] <Cactuar83> So if I enter through mIrc i'd be able to get on?
  • [13:50:08] <PanSola> Cactuar83: correct
  • [13:50:21] <Cactuar83> Thanks
  • [13:50:25] <PanSola> np

  • [13:50:49] <Cactuar83> I dnot know
  • [13:50:49] <PanSola> I'll ask the channel to be added to the gateway list so ppl using the gateway can access it too
  • [13:51:01] <Hunterj|TV> one guy made lots of great edits, messed up stub templates, never seen him since
  • [13:51:10] <Hunterj|TV> PanSola:I just don't want to put people off
