  • [13:20:11] <PanSola> usually issues with light background color
  • [13:20:31] <PanSola> Even if your site doesn't set gaming theme as default, please be aware that some users may choose it
  • [13:20:49] <GPT> PanSola: see #halopedia, please
  • [13:20:49] <Tesfan> I prefre the user page spread out rather then a drop down
  • [13:20:52] <PanSola> so if any tables, divs etc on your wiki uses light background, please manually specify a dark font
  • [13:21:37] <Sgt_Johnson> I tried to use the Gaming Skin, it doesn't work
  • [13:21:42] <Manticore> PanSola: who picks higlighted wikis on gaming hub?
  • [13:21:46] <Sgt_Johnson> you can't see the words on my wiki

  • [13:23:55] <PanSola> If you see an "edit" link for a section, then you can edit it d-:
  • [13:24:57] <Manticore> bah technicality
  • [13:25:00] <PanSola> Sgt_Johnson: the problem with gaming theme on AceWIki is precisely becuse you have white text on light colored background
  • [13:25:01] <Manticore> I see [edit] everywhere
  • [13:25:07] <Sgt_Johnson> ah
  • [13:25:10] <PanSola> you need to manually specify the font color and set it to black
  • [13:25:16] <Sgt_Johnson> ok
  • [13:25:16] <Sgt_Johnson> got it
  • [13:25:32] <PanSola> Manticore: precisely
  • [13:25:59] <PanSola> Manticore: be bold. The only penalty for doing something wrong is it getting reverted d-:
  • [13:26:03] <Sgt_Johnson> sweet!
  • [13:26:05] <PanSola> which isn't a big deal
  • [13:26:09] <Sgt_Johnson> It went up in the search engine!
  • [13:26:39] <Manticore> PanSola: +sysop - I see [edit] where others don't - was my point ;)
  • [13:26:48] <PanSola> oh
  • [13:26:52] <PanSola> I forgot
  • [13:26:53] <PanSola> well
  • [13:26:58] <PanSola> log out then d-:
  • [13:27:01] <PanSola> wait
  • [13:27:04] <Tesfan> lol
  • [13:27:06] <PanSola> sysops should see the same
  • [13:27:12] <PanSola> hte page is not protected
  • [13:27:16] <Jack_Phoenix> PanSola: regarding your above comment to Manticore, you can also get your commit permissions removed if you're a MediaWiki dev :-P
  • [13:27:49] <PanSola> The page isn't protected, so/and you shouldn't see extra edit links compared to other ppl
  • [13:28:09] <Manticore> well, I wouldn't know if it was without checking :P
  • [13:28:26] <PanSola> well if it were protected,you'll see a "Unprotect" tab
  • [13:28:34] <PanSola> since you are sysop and all
  • [13:29:11] <PanSola> another thing is
  • [13:29:16] <PanSola> we want ppl to write articles for teh hub
  • [13:29:28] <PanSola> right now we got a total of 4 articles (only 3 shows up on the hub)
  • [13:29:41] <PanSola> target audience: users of other gaming wikis
  • [13:30:03] <Tesfan> Would the artilce be like "<wiki>: About"?
  • [13:30:09] <PanSola> feel free to write on any topic/subject (as long as you keep target audience in mind"
  • [13:30:26] <PanSola> Tesfan: typically no
  • [13:30:29] <Tesfan> Oh, on gaming.wikia
  • [13:30:39] <PanSola> um, this is for the hub
  • [13:30:42] <PanSola> not for gaming.wikia
  • [13:30:46] <PanSola> http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Gaming
  • [13:31:03] <Tesfan> Ah
  • [13:31:31] <Sgt_Johnson> saphire looks the best on the Ace Wiki
  • [13:31:34] <PanSola> things you want to share with other users of gaming wikis. An advice, a story
  • [13:31:49] <PanSola> a trick
  • [13:32:32] <Manticore> PanSola: if you transclude a sysop protected template, you see [edit] on the page, that's what I was talking about - I don't know if any of them are protected :)
  • [13:32:44] <PanSola> Manticore:none
  • [13:32:57] <uberfuzzy> who do i talk to about something on gaming.wikia?
  • [13:33:21] <PanSola> their local sysops?

  • [13:33:39] <Manticore> speak to DNL uberfuzzy
  • [13:33:53] <uberfuzzy> DNL?
  • [13:34:12] <PanSola> he visits halopedia
  • [13:34:12] <GPT> uberfuzzy: what's the problem?
  • [13:34:15] <PanSola> #halopedia
  • [13:34:23] <GPT> something wrong with gaming.wikia?
  • [13:34:29] <uberfuzzy> "Profile Completeness"
  • [13:34:40] <GPT> oh... !bAH, yeah, can't help, talk to staff. ^_^
  • [13:34:45] <uberfuzzy> what is that % based on?
  • [13:34:47] <Sgt_Johnson> is it ok to put a wikias featured nomination on the main page of said wikia?
  • [13:35:06] <PanSola> Sgt_Johnson: elaborate, not entirely sure what you mean
  • [13:35:34] <GPT> uberfuzzy: I think it's based on the number of fields you've filled out... but I'm not sure.
  • [13:35:36] <Sgt_Johnson> Like, in the announcements say "______ Wiki has been nominated for featured wiki! Vote here: http://blah blah blah"
  • [13:36:00] <PanSola> Sgt_Johnson: depends on the policy of the local wiki
  • [13:36:04] <Sgt_Johnson> ok
  • [13:36:23] <GPT> PanSola: are you ignoring me?
  • [13:36:59] <PanSola> GPT: not in this channel
  • [13:37:03] <PanSola> I'll deal with other stuff later
  • [13:37:15] <GPT> ah, kthx
  • [13:38:13] <PanSola> anyways so yeah, please help write articles for teh hub
  • [13:38:18] <PanSola> we want it to feel lively
  • [13:38:35] <PanSola> that way more ppl will feel comfortable writing
  • [13:38:42] <Tesfan> What would an example of an article be>
  • [13:38:45] <Tesfan> *?
  • [13:38:58] <PanSola> Tesfan: http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Gaming_user_articles
  • [13:39:10] <PanSola> there are four articles for you to get an idea
  • [13:39:14] <Tesfan> thx
  • [13:39:19] <PanSola> you can write something totally different too
  • [13:39:26] <Kirkburn> PanSola, in the middle of washing up ><
  • [13:39:40] <Kirkburn> Back soon!
  • [13:39:40] <PanSola> as long as you keep in mind the target audience is "users of other gaming wikis", you can write anything
  • [13:39:42] <PanSola> Kirkburn!!!
  • [13:39:48] <PanSola> >_<"
  • [13:39:57] <PanSola> was gonna ask him to share what he has been up to lately
  • [13:40:38] <PanSola> anyways, any wikis facing issues lately?
  • [13:40:43] <PanSola> (except teh current site slowness)
  • [13:41:05] <GPT> Pfhorpedia's falling into disrepair... but I guess that's my fault mainly. ^_^
  • [13:41:46] <PanSola> disrepair means things that were working are now startingn to break?
  • [13:41:53] <Sgt_Johnson> GPT: its not your fault
  • [13:41:56] <PanSola> like informathing has changed but wiki doesn't keep up?
  • [13:42:04] * Sgt_Johnson has other priorities
  • [13:42:12] <GPT> nah... I've just stopped editing and I'm the only real editor, 'tis all I mean.
  • [13:42:20] <PanSola> ah
  • [13:42:22] <Kirkburn> Back
  • [13:42:27] <Kirkburn> Right, hello all
  • [13:42:27] <PanSola> so it's really just gone stagnant
  • [13:42:44] <Kirkburn> I've been working on a couple of wikis, giving them the GamingStarter treatment
  • [13:42:45] <GPT> ja
  • [13:42:50] * Joins: PsiSeveredHead
  • [13:42:54] <PanSola> hi PsiSeveredHead
  • [13:43:07] <Sgt_Johnson> hi
  • [13:43:11] <PsiSeveredHead> Hiya
  • [13:43:24] <Kirkburn> Last week I created a stock Manual of Style to help wikis start and added it to the flagship wikis - however, other's can request I add it to their wiki
  • [13:43:25] <Manticore> Hi PsiSeveredHead
  • [13:43:37] <PsiSeveredHead> Hi
  • [13:44:18] <Kirkburn> This is essentially what I created - http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/BioShock_Wiki:Manual_of_Style
  • [13:45:20] <PanSola> Kirkburn: is there anything in there that is gaming-specific?
  • [13:45:28] * Quits: uberfuzzy
  • [13:45:48] <Kirkburn> It's a modified version of the WoWWiki one, so it definately leans that way
  • [13:46:37] <Kirkburn> The sample article that comes with it - http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/BioShock_Wiki:Manual_of_Style/Sample - also has gaming leanings
  • [13:47:36] <PanSola> and non-english leanings o_O
  • [13:48:02] <Kirkburn> Other things I've been working on can be seen on http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Moss and http://bioshock.wikia.com/index.php?title=Moss&action=edit ... the mediawiki default text is altered
  • [13:48:10] <Kirkburn> PanSola, ?
  • [13:48:23] <PanSola> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

  • [13:48:28] <PanSola> me no understand
  • [13:48:36] <Kirkburn> Lol, Google for "lorem ipsum"
  • [13:48:47] <Kirkburn> It's standard filler text
  • [13:48:56] <PanSola> oh
  • [13:49:05] <PanSola> ~_~"
  • [13:49:10] <Kirkburn> It's an odd version of Latin
  • [13:49:17] <PanSola> why not "a happy fox jump over the fense" or something
  • [13:49:26] <Kirkburn> My plan is to add this and more stuff to gaming wikis as I go around them
  • [13:49:52] <Kirkburn> Atm I'm halfway through adding this gaming irc link to wiki sidebars
  • [13:50:39] <Kirkburn> One thing I've noticed about wikis as I go around them is that categorising isn't emphasised enough - articles without categories may never be found
  • [13:50:49] <PanSola> hmm
  • [13:51:00] <PanSola> I usually find articles via search or via internal linking
  • [13:51:07] <PanSola> Ihardly ever uses categories to navigate
  • [13:51:19] <Kirkburn> The mediawiki bits I edited give some help on that - http://bioshock.wikia.com/index.php?title=Moss&action=edit - see above and below the editbox
  • [13:51:46] <Kirkburn> This is more for maintaining the wiki - if internal links disappear through editing, the articles cannot be found
  • [13:51:55] * Joins: uberfuzzy
  • [13:52:10] <Kodia> It's not that odd. :)
  • [13:52:10] <PanSola> I would philosophically argue that, an uncategorized article that is heavily linked to is easier to be found than a categorized article nobody links to
  • [13:52:53] <Kirkburn> Of course, but categories is a single fire-and-forget method of making an article discoverable
  • [13:53:08] <Kirkburn> Linking relies on other articles being well made
  • [13:53:35] <Kirkburn> I think it's often ignored because new editors don't know about it
  • [13:54:14] <Kirkburn> I'm not suggesting that categories are how to navigate wikis, just that for the maintainers of the wikis, if you don't categorise, it's going to cause more trouble
  • [13:54:35] <PanSola> GPT: do you have casual editors at Phforpedia?
  • [13:54:37] <Jack_Phoenix> hey hey everyone
  • [13:54:44] <Tesfan> hi hi
  • [13:54:57] <GPT> PanSola: three other people have edited once or twice.
  • [13:55:24] <PanSola> and do you think things like what Kirkburn showed above might help? Or is the situation with your wiki more like wiki veterans not having enough time?
  • [13:55:33] * GPT looks
  • [13:56:13] <GPT> the situation with it is that it's new and there's a "competitor" on some other site, and everyone trusts that wiki because it's been around longer
  • [13:56:20] <PanSola> ah
  • [13:56:59] <PanSola> why did you start the competation then? Is the other wiki also on MW?
  • [13:57:30] <PanSola> Sgt_Johnson: did you take a look at kirkburn's work?
  • [13:57:34] <GPT> I didn't know the other site was there, so I started one at Wikia... and yes, the other one's MW
  • [13:57:46] <Sgt_Johnson> Pansola: I was reverting vandalism at my wiki
  • [13:57:52] <PanSola> ouch
  • [13:57:55] <Sgt_Johnson> ah
  • [13:58:15] * Quits: Tesfan
  • [13:58:26] <PsiSeveredHead> I think Kirkburn's example is very helpful. However, wiki veterans often don't have much time as well.
  • [13:58:32] <PanSola> I think haivng reminders and pointers to the manul of style easily spotted near the edit box can help new ppl
  • [13:59:19] <Kirkburn> Btw, BioShock is essentially "the" Gaming wiki style, much of the special stuff on there like the community portal and project:templates pages is templated and easily added to other wikis
  • [13:59:32] <Sgt_Johnson> http://acecombat.wikia.com/wiki/AceWiki:Style_guide - like this?
  • [14:00:21] <Kirkburn> Aye, though that seems to be copied directly from Wikipedia
  • [14:00:30] <Sgt_Johnson> ?
  • [14:00:30] <PanSola> Kirkburn: I would suggest creating an overview article that shows the category tree structure
  • [14:00:56] <PanSola> if I am creating an article on, say, WoW Wiki, and if I want to find out what category to put my article in by browsing Special:Categories on WoWWiki
  • [14:01:07] <PanSola> I might decide to just skip it and let otherppl clean up my mess
  • [14:01:25] <Sgt_Johnson> it was moved to ace wiki during the merger
  • [14:01:37] <PanSola> so the pre-merged version was copied from WP
  • [14:01:43] <Kirkburn> Yeah, PanSola, I might add something about that
  • [14:01:54] <Sgt_Johnson> I blocked that IP
  • [14:02:02] <Kirkburn> At least have some explanation or gameplan on how to categorise
  • [14:02:26] <PanSola> maybe even linking to the root ofthe category tree
  • [14:02:55] <PanSola> that would probalby be more helpful than the list of all categories in alphabetical order
  • [14:03:14] <PanSola> if I start from the root I would more likely find the category I want to put my article in
  • [14:03:22] <Kirkburn> Amazingly, WoWWiki doesn't have a true root category :/ (annoyingly)
  • [14:03:28] <PanSola> lol
  • [14:03:36] <Kirkburn> Indeed, I think Browse is the default on Wikia
  • [14:03:44] <PanSola> just slap on every uncategorized browse
  • [14:03:56] <PanSola> I think Brows is a common practice on wikia, but not default
  • [14:04:48] <PanSola> anyways, any thing else anyone want to discuss/share?
  • [14:05:03] <GPT> Kodia wants to share food.
  • [14:05:08] <Kodia> lol
  • [14:05:12] <PanSola> Remember to chech the gaming hub for meeting times (next week is one hr earler thanthis week)
  • [14:05:14] <Sgt_Johnson> why is it a sin to protect every page?!
  • [14:05:17] <PanSola> Nominate and vote for featured
  • [14:05:25] <PanSola> Sgt_Johnson: because then you won't have a wiki
  • [14:05:29] <GPT> Sgt_Johnson: no one can edit if every page is uneditable...
  • [14:05:30] <PanSola> write articles
  • [14:05:30] <Sgt_Johnson> lol
  • [14:05:31] <Kodia> it defeats the purpose of every thing wikis stand for
  • [14:05:48] * Sgt_Johnson just wants to protect everything from vandals
  • [14:05:56] <PanSola> Kodia: technically just "most things" wikis stand for
  • [14:06:09] * Parts: Kodia
  • [14:06:30] * Joins: Kodia
  • [14:06:35] <PanSola> wb
  • [14:06:41] <Kodia> wrong button
  • [14:06:47] <Sgt_Johnson> I have to protect this page
  • [14:06:50] * Kodia blushes
  • [14:07:01] <Sgt_Johnson> where are those lasagna rolls?
  • [14:07:09] <Kodia> on the stove. you're not here yet
  • [14:07:33] <Kirkburn> Btw, as I'm adding more links to this channel around Wikia Gaming, the channel may get a bit busier
  • [14:07:42] <PanSola> GPT: have you considered closing yoru phforpedia and merge into the other wiki? Or are there philosophical difference between yoru two sites?
  • [14:07:49] <Kirkburn> If you see people arrive from the Wikia portal, say hello :P
  • [14:07:58] <GPT> PanSola: "closing" isn't allowed on Wikia...
  • [14:08:14] <PanSola> GPT: Put a big notice on the main page: "We have merged"
  • [14:08:24] <GPT> no thanks...
  • [14:08:38] <GPT> I don't really like their license, and they're way too unorganized IMO.
  • [14:08:42] <PsiSeveredHead> Are you talking about merging multiple wikias?
  • [14:08:45] <PanSola> what's their license?
  • [14:08:56] <GPT> PsiSeveredHead: Wikia w/ non-Wikia
  • [14:08:57] <Sgt_Johnson> what are expiry times for protection?
  • [14:09:07] <PanSola> Sgt_Johnson: local rules
  • [14:09:10] <Sgt_Johnson> got it
  • [14:09:14] <GPT> PanSola: basically says "this stuff is ours, not yours. you can't use it. it's copyrighted, stealing r not allowed. bai."
  • [14:09:26] <PanSola> GPT: then yeah, philosophical difference
  • [14:09:35] <GPT> ja
  • [14:09:50] <PanSola> you should try to sell the Phforpedia as the OPEN resource for marathon
  • [14:09:56] <PanSola> that belongs to the community
  • [14:10:13] <PanSola> and focus on getting *one* single aspect better than your competition
  • [14:10:16] <GPT> ah... kelwl.
  • [14:10:19] <GPT> *kewl
  • [14:10:24] <PanSola> if you can get *one* thing better
  • [14:10:29] <PanSola> then you got your foot in
  • [14:10:42] <GPT> I can get lots of things better, if I have the time...
  • [14:10:46] <PanSola> ppl will start to consider using both for different purposes
  • [14:10:54] <PanSola> then they will start help improving yours
  • [14:11:06] <GPT> ja
  • [14:11:09] <PanSola> so, focus on one single thing first
  • [14:11:12] <PanSola> onen step at a time
  • [14:11:20] <GPT> k
  • [14:11:26] <PanSola> if you try to improve everything at once, with limited time, you'll end up being inferior at everything
  • [14:11:44] <PanSola> 1. Improve a single aspect to become superior
  • [14:12:05] <PanSola> 2. Attract users to use Phforpedia for that single purpose (while still using competitior for others)
  • [14:12:16] <PanSola> 3. Attract them to help other aspects
  • [14:12:18] <PanSola> 4. ???
  • [14:12:18] * Joins: DuTempete
  • [14:12:26] <PanSola> 5. Profit!
  • [14:12:30] <Jack_Phoenix> haha :D
  • [14:12:33] * DuTempete growls at Kirkburn
  • [14:12:34] <Jack_Phoenix> I knew that one ;-)
  • [14:12:44] <GPT> heh
  • [14:12:47] <GPT> there isn't a step four?
  • [14:12:55] <Kirkburn> Y'know, I need a big notice to remind myself of these meetings
  • [14:12:56] <PanSola> step four is in question marks
  • [14:12:57] <DuTempete> So, I hear I missed an interesting coversation about gaming wikis?
  • [14:13:13] <Kirkburn> Methinks I should make a page on WoWWiki about it, since I look at it enough :O
  • [14:13:16] <PanSola> DuTempete: unless you usually go by a different nick, you've missed several
  • [14:13:24] <Kirkburn> haha
  • [14:13:26] <DuTempete> heh, probably a good idea, Kirkburn
  • [14:13:35] <DuTempete> PanSola, cute, but I've been on hiatus for a while.
  • [14:13:39] <PanSola> and this oen is about wraping up
  • [14:13:57] <Kirkburn> ... presents?
  • [14:13:58] <PanSola> I try to keep it around 1 hr
  • [14:13:59] <DuTempete> Just started logging in again as my term wraps up
  • [14:14:15] <DuTempete> ah, well
  • [14:14:16] <PanSola> anyways, next meeting time can be found on the Gaming hub
  • [14:14:23] <PanSola> www.wikia.com/wiki/Gaming
  • [14:14:26] <DuTempete> Next time, give Kirkburn a kick in the pants, and maybe he'll remind me.
  • [14:14:29] * Kirkburn changes topic to 'Welcome to #wikia-gaming | http://gaming.wikia.com/ | Vote on featured gaming Wikia - http://wikia.com/wiki/Featured_gaming_Wikia | Next chat on 9 December, 8pm (GMT)'
  • [14:14:31] * Phil_E is now known as Phil_E|Away
  • [14:14:35] <Kirkburn> ^ hope that's right?
  • [14:14:38] <DuTempete> or, well, tell me, since I never really new in the ifrst place :P
  • [14:14:44] <Kirkburn> lol
  • [14:14:49] <DuTempete> *knew
  • [14:14:58] <PanSola> anyways, hang around here as much as you can
  • [14:15:10] <PanSola> new founders occasionally hop on to see what this "IRC" thing is about
  • [14:15:10] <DuTempete> Yeah, I keep forgetting to add this channel to my autojoin
  • [14:15:27] <PanSola> when we don't catch them within 60 secs they often leave and never return )-:
