Thank you for the confidence Hobbes, but I have no urge to clear out bots all day =D. What is needed is a new (more secure) version of the MediaWiki software and/or some to our wiki unique questions upon registration.
There has been a substantial increase in spam from bots on the ufopaedia wiki lately, Hobbes is doing a great work of keeping them at bey but.... it might be time to take a new look on the security and the version state of the wiki? //Kokkan - Heniv
This is a copy if a message I sent to Pete, I'm posting it here too. I was kinda wondering if we could get Extention:ParserFunctions on the UFOpaedia.org wiki? http://www.mediawiki...ParserFunctions They are very useful. Best regards //Kokkan
It's not a stand alone game, it's a part of EU2012. I thought I read that there were 2 DLC incoming, so we could just add an "Expansion / DLC" sub-heading in the EU2012 Table and have one page for each.
Thundercats HHoooooo!!!! =D Yes Pete, the site is much more responsive now. Personally I'm not interested in badges/privileges based on payment. If there is a problem with the funding, we could just run a drive on the UFOpaedia and site, with a simple PayPal donation (I don't think those cost as much as Kickstarter).
I have started to hang out in * irc://quakenet/UFOpaedia.org * irc://quakenet/XCOM If anyone wants to discuss anything with me directly, you can find me there. (I'm on GMT+1 times). //Kokkan
No, we need not to change anything that is working. Just perhaps stop the practice to use Templates on pages where Tranclusion is sufficent (on new pages).
If I remember correctly. A template is a special page in a wiki that can take one or several variables/inputs. Lets say I have Template:Flag, and on another page i write {{Flag|sweden}} then the template will put a swedish flag on that page. More info: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template My example: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Template:Flag You can include pages into other pages using something call transclusion (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion) without the need for a template.
__NOTITLE__ works fine. Thank you Pete. You can achive that with a __NOTITLE__ and a H1 (=Header=) combination. I however discourage it strongly since it will cause more confusion than good in my opinion.
Yes, I found that bug also. I will contineu to work on it for a while more. Unless any of you have anything against it I will update the Main Page once i'm sure everything works 100% (you can revet it if you don't like tha layout).
