2008-08-02T11:18:47 so, welcome everyone to another episode of StrategyWiki meeting 2008-08-02T11:19:24 today we will also be covering stuff that was missed due to cancellation of last month's meeting 2008-08-02T11:19:46 So, as an initial announcement, we've almost finished another guide merger 2008-08-02T11:20:03 We have created http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Exteel 2008-08-02T11:20:17 based on info from http://exteelwiki.co.uk/ 2008-08-02T11:20:27 All that remains are the images 2008-08-02T11:20:42 once that's complete, that site will be a redirect to us 2008-08-02T11:20:51 Without checking the site, we have permission and/or it's GFDL? 2008-08-02T11:21:09 I worked with the owner to bring stuff over 2008-08-02T11:21:14 he completely agreed with it 2008-08-02T11:21:43 Also discussed with the major contributor on that site 2008-08-02T11:22:09 questions/comments? 2008-08-02T11:22:26 None here. 2008-08-02T11:22:29 nope 2008-08-02T11:22:29 ok 2008-08-02T11:22:31 so moving on 2008-08-02T11:22:40 (Skizzerz): would you like to talk about changes with IRC? 2008-08-02T11:22:47 uh... sure 2008-08-02T11:23:10 As you may be able to notice, I set up a PJIRC gateway for strategywiki (accessible via the sidebar) 2008-08-02T11:23:29 *** Teddy has joined #SW-Meeting 2008-08-02T11:23:38 Very few people seem to actually be using it, however 2008-08-02T11:23:53 And the ones that do get discouraged fairly quickly due to the inactivity 2008-08-02T11:24:09 irc chat? 2008-08-02T11:24:14 yes 2008-08-02T11:24:33 as such, we need to figure out a way to increase awareness of the chat both among the regular users and the casual browsers 2008-08-02T11:25:07 Open to discussion? 2008-08-02T11:25:13 sure 2008-08-02T11:25:16 I can idle from now on. 2008-08-02T11:25:19 I was thinking that we could get a new domain name and run IRC on that one 2008-08-02T11:25:31 and add that to our "network navigation" 2008-08-02T11:25:57 Or we could start by increasing activity in the room *thumbs up gesture* 2008-08-02T11:26:17 yes, I don't think the NAME is the issue, it's the activity (or, lack thereof) 2008-08-02T11:26:23 that's difficult because getting people to idle in here is hard 2008-08-02T11:26:38 yes... perhaps if we had some incentive to do so 2008-08-02T11:26:43 well, putting it at the top as an affiliate would be a bit more prominent than a link mixed in 2008-08-02T11:26:58 just make it say "porn" 2008-08-02T11:27:02 AHAHA 2008-08-02T11:27:13 Best idea I've ever heard. 2008-08-02T11:27:15 yea, might work :D 2008-08-02T11:27:42 lol 2008-08-02T11:27:43 or hentai for you freaky people out there. 2008-08-02T11:27:54 anywayz.... 2008-08-02T11:27:54 You won't have much luck with getting people to idle via PJIRC due to the very transient nature of PJIRC 2008-08-02T11:27:58 any other suggestions? 2008-08-02T11:28:23 I think the problem is a lot of people don't interact with the site for very long. 2008-08-02T11:28:30 well, the PJIRC is only temporary until we can get something better up 2008-08-02T11:28:35 I.e. they view their watch list or just edit what they are reading. 2008-08-02T11:28:46 i.e. people have lives. 2008-08-02T11:28:47 Skizzerz: What do you have in mind? 2008-08-02T11:29:05 perhaps some fork of mibbit that allows for more customizable options 2008-08-02T11:29:33 such as? 2008-08-02T11:29:58 the options? mainly the ability to put in a password to auto-identify to nickserv with 2008-08-02T11:30:01 Sorry, I haven't particularly followed the desired changes for IRC. 2008-08-02T11:30:04 *** Teddy is now known as Notmyname 2008-08-02T11:30:19 hehe. 2008-08-02T11:30:44 Wouldn't it just be better at that point to encourage people to download a real IRC client? 2008-08-02T11:30:47 at any rate, this will take quite a lot of work and pretty much a complete change in how the community looks at IRC 2008-08-02T11:30:57 Ness: yeah probably. 2008-08-02T11:31:03 it might be worthwhile to just merge the abxy/sw communities 2008-08-02T11:31:15 I don't see how that's possible. 2008-08-02T11:31:19 for irc? probably 2008-08-02T11:31:25 it's possible, it would just take a lot of work 2008-08-02T11:31:29 well 2008-08-02T11:31:29 You mean merge the user databases? 2008-08-02T11:31:37 no, that would be impossible 2008-08-02T11:31:38 i mean just forget about the #strategywiki 2008-08-02T11:31:43 o 2008-08-02T11:31:44 and suggest people go to #abxy 2008-08-02T11:31:48 Yeah that's a good idea 2008-08-02T11:31:59 except for the whole... 2008-08-02T11:32:02 chaos of abxy 2008-08-02T11:32:04 :P 2008-08-02T11:32:15 well, that's half the fun of irc 2008-08-02T11:32:18 Ahahahaha 2008-08-02T11:32:20 from there 2008-08-02T11:32:25 and tuatara. 2008-08-02T11:32:31 we can point them to #strategywiki if they need MW help 2008-08-02T11:32:32 TUAT 2008-08-02T11:32:42 I like that idea, Prod. 2008-08-02T11:32:46 so you want us to idle abxy more? 2008-08-02T11:32:57 idle my little bitchez, idle! 2008-08-02T11:33:00 does seem like a good idea, would help get more people in the same place 2008-08-02T11:33:01 actually that's the best idea because it will help abxy grow as well... 2008-08-02T11:33:07 we'll have to convince #abxy to allow people to ask for MW help :P 2008-08-02T11:33:18 Who runs SIP? 2008-08-02T11:33:22 teddy 2008-08-02T11:33:22 Teddy does 2008-08-02T11:33:24 o 2008-08-02T11:33:29 as in the phone protocol? 2008-08-02T11:33:29 >___> 2008-08-02T11:33:39 ShouldIPlay 2008-08-02T11:33:40 ness: as in shouldiplay.com :) 2008-08-02T11:33:46 that's not my name. i swear. 2008-08-02T11:33:46 oh, lol :P 2008-08-02T11:34:21 however, I think it should be "genericized" into a more general name 2008-08-02T11:34:23 rather than abxy 2008-08-02T11:34:31 have that channel redirect or something (if that's possible) 2008-08-02T11:34:34 #abxy or abxy.com 2008-08-02T11:34:38 # 2008-08-02T11:34:39 o 2008-08-02T11:34:45 genericized sounds like circumcised 2008-08-02T11:34:49 :P 2008-08-02T11:34:51 channel redirects are possible, just set a limit of 0 and an overflow channel :P 2008-08-02T11:34:54 ahahaha... 2008-08-02T11:35:10 of course, there's the issue of channel access 2008-08-02T11:35:54 what do you mean? 2008-08-02T11:36:04 *** Rhonlore has joined #SW-Meeting 2008-08-02T11:36:32 well, if we decide to use #abxy for everything, at first very few of the strategywiki staff would have access there. 2008-08-02T11:36:42 even afterwards, we'd have to decide how to share the access 2008-08-02T11:36:58 I think we should have a series of redirect, at least 5, and have each channel be a single word which spells a secret message. If the user hasn't force quit their IRC client by this time, they definitely deserve to be in our lovely community. 2008-08-02T11:37:28 and... how exactly will that help? 2008-08-02T11:37:45 STFU N00B 2008-08-02T11:37:58 * Notmyname is helpful. very helpful. 2008-08-02T11:38:05 moving right along... 2008-08-02T11:38:19 that issue can be sorted out quite easily if it comes to that 2008-08-02T11:38:34 We COULD attempt a reward system 2008-08-02T11:38:40 i.e. 100 edits = IRC access xD 2008-08-02T11:38:48 i'll talk to ech about that also 2008-08-02T11:38:59 100 edits = 25 pixels of a pornographic picture revealed 2008-08-02T11:39:00 Ok, so moving on 2008-08-02T11:39:07 Teddy is the mastermind behind us 2008-08-02T11:39:08 (Skizzerz): anything else? 2008-08-02T11:39:17 with IRC, not that I can think of at the moment 2008-08-02T11:39:18 it would work. admit it. 2008-08-02T11:39:21 ok 2008-08-02T11:39:36 Next on the agenda is system portals 2008-08-02T11:39:45 good idea 2008-08-02T11:39:56 he said softly 2008-08-02T11:40:00 unfortunately Garrett isn't around 2008-08-02T11:40:11 so I think that's going to have to be left alone 2008-08-02T11:40:11 Quick comment on Exteel - looks like there's about 48 images on the site. 2008-08-02T11:40:24 (Notmyhandle): a bunch of the images got deleted 2008-08-02T11:40:31 so there are image links but the images themselves are broken 2008-08-02T11:40:38 o... 2008-08-02T11:40:39 i'll be bringing over whatever's still left 2008-08-02T11:41:02 portals will take a bit of work 2008-08-02T11:41:11 and may benefit from some js 2008-08-02T11:41:17 but we'll have to see about that next week 2008-08-02T11:41:27 with the upgrade? 2008-08-02T11:41:59 well, I'd like Garrett to discribe it a bit more 2008-08-02T11:41:59 I think each system should get a lil button instead of a tiny square icon for the front page. 2008-08-02T11:42:24 3x4 grid 2008-08-02T11:42:42 that would take up a lot of vertical space 2008-08-02T11:42:49 just make it and show us 2008-08-02T11:42:54 and those links already seem fairly well used 2008-08-02T11:42:59 thats how we deal with brainstorming main page changes 2008-08-02T11:43:09 ok 2008-08-02T11:43:36 next on the list 2008-08-02T11:43:39 Common talk pages 2008-08-02T11:43:45 (Notmyhandle): I believe that was yours? 2008-08-02T11:43:52 Uh 2008-08-02T11:44:01 I don't think i started it 2008-08-02T11:44:10 but yeah we were considering combining all talk pages for a game 2008-08-02T11:44:19 so that every subpage's discussion link links to the same page 2008-08-02T11:44:39 This was because some of us (at least me) felt that these subpage talk pages were isolated and ignored 2008-08-02T11:45:13 The problem is implementation - it requires some sort of hack I believe, and then merging of all talk pages. 2008-08-02T11:45:32 Is this a good idea? 2008-08-02T11:45:46 I'm not too much of a fan of hacks 2008-08-02T11:45:52 but if it was clean 2008-08-02T11:45:57 I don't think it would be that helpful 2008-08-02T11:46:08 it would help centralize discussions 2008-08-02T11:46:28 but then discussions about a specific page may get lost 2008-08-02T11:46:41 actually 2008-08-02T11:46:49 lemme take that back 2008-08-02T11:47:05 I think it would be good, but the hack wouldn't be worth it unless it can be pushed into an extension 2008-08-02T11:47:18 Right. 2008-08-02T11:47:21 and converting the old ones may cause some problems 2008-08-02T11:47:27 since some of them hold histories 2008-08-02T11:47:34 *** Rhonlore has quit IRC 2008-08-02T11:47:40 Can someone link me the mediawiki bug/suggestion site? 2008-08-02T11:47:52 instead of merging them outright, why not just have an automatic message put on the top that links to the main talk page 2008-08-02T11:47:53 bugzilla.mediawiki.org 2008-08-02T11:48:05 no 2008-08-02T11:48:11 it's https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org 2008-08-02T11:48:17 er.. 2008-08-02T11:48:18 yea :P 2008-08-02T11:48:56 Skizz's idea is good. 2008-08-02T11:49:09 But how do we do it? 2008-08-02T11:49:11 anyway, regarding the automatic message, there is a hook that would allow that 2008-08-02T11:49:28 Oh like the site-wide messages, but only if you go to a talk page? 2008-08-02T11:49:34 talk sub-page 2008-08-02T11:49:43 but yeah 2008-08-02T11:49:43 Very neice 2008-08-02T11:49:44 which hook? 2008-08-02T11:50:10 hold on 2008-08-02T11:50:37 I guess we could make all talk subpages uneditable and have them only have text/images that say go to the main game page 2008-08-02T11:50:51 http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/OutputPageBeforeHTML 2008-08-02T11:51:03 that's a hardcore hook >_> 2008-08-02T11:51:14 yeah :P 2008-08-02T11:51:24 it's cuz we're EXTREME 2008-08-02T11:51:34 I think we might want to find one a bit further out of the core of it 2008-08-02T11:51:39 er wait, that's not the right one 2008-08-02T11:51:53 perhaps one of those preload type fillers 2008-08-02T11:52:29 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:1.2.32.4&action=edit&redlink=1 2008-08-02T11:52:35 or maybe text like that 2008-08-02T11:52:49 rawr i can't use bugzilla lol 2008-08-02T11:53:05 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:1.2.32.4&redlink=1 2008-08-02T11:53:39 we protect all talk subpages and have a template like that on all of them 2008-08-02T11:54:32 ok, so is it agreed that we think they're a good idea? 2008-08-02T11:54:59 doing what, protecting subpages/adding a template? 2008-08-02T11:55:05 and then merging? 2008-08-02T11:55:09 common talk pages in general 2008-08-02T11:55:19 sounds like we'll still have to work on implementation 2008-08-02T11:55:39 well once you do this sort of thing, there's no going back really 2008-08-02T11:55:47 unsorting these mergers... oh god 2008-08-02T11:55:56 i think it'd be fine 2008-08-02T11:56:29 yeah i think its a good idea 2008-08-02T11:56:45 ok, so we'll leave this back to the forums for implementation to get worked out 2008-08-02T11:56:50 sure 2008-08-02T11:57:20 Next on the list is the "Update pending" templates 2008-08-02T11:57:24 http://forums.abxy.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=26458 2008-08-02T11:58:13 currently the concensus seems to be: 2008-08-02T11:58:18 Update pending template is good 2008-08-02T11:58:23 Updated frequently is bad 2008-08-02T11:58:44 It's basically the same thing 2008-08-02T11:58:47 not really 2008-08-02T11:59:12 One refers to a set date, and one implies that the game is heavily supported (i.e. WoW). 2008-08-02T11:59:21 most people know if a game is updated frequently since they play it. However, they may or may not know exactly when the updates are taking place 2008-08-02T11:59:31 Most games don't announce. 2008-08-02T11:59:53 I think these sort of things would best go on a talk page. 2008-08-02T11:59:58 And aren't template worthy 2008-08-02T12:00:13 the update pending could be added when a game just got updated and peole haven't had a chance to update the changes to the guide 2008-08-02T12:00:33 Well it wouldn't be pending then would it? XD 2008-08-02T12:00:37 and I agree with what Skizzerz said about the updated frequently 2008-08-02T12:00:46 updates to the guide would be pending :) 2008-08-02T12:01:09 hmmm 2008-08-02T12:01:19 i guess we can try i 2008-08-02T12:01:20 it 2008-08-02T12:01:29 im just afraid it will end up like WIP and be left there for months 2008-08-02T12:01:33 if it doesn't work out... well, that's what the delete tab is for :) 2008-08-02T12:01:34 yea 2008-08-02T12:01:48 we could put a timer on it like {{future}} 2008-08-02T12:01:55 good idea 2008-08-02T12:02:02 1 month timer is good 2008-08-02T12:02:04 yeah 2008-08-02T12:02:10 who wants to create it? 2008-08-02T12:02:17 I can create the timer :) 2008-08-02T12:02:29 {{pendingupdate}}? 2008-08-02T12:02:35 {{updatepending}}? 2008-08-02T12:02:38 {{updating}}? 2008-08-02T12:02:38 the latter 2008-08-02T12:02:43 {{pending}}? 2008-08-02T12:02:44 keep it simple 2008-08-02T12:02:49 {{update}}? 2008-08-02T12:03:04 {{wip}}? :P 2008-08-02T12:03:08 {{^_^}} 2008-08-02T12:03:15 Possibly combine {{updatepending}} with {{future}}? 2008-08-02T12:03:33 {{futureupdatepending}}? 2008-08-02T12:03:39 Just {{future}} lol 2008-08-02T12:03:40 we could continue the discussion on the forums, since there are some interested parties that aren't at this meeting 2008-08-02T12:03:58 ok 2008-08-02T12:04:19 {{ThisIsTheLongestTemplateNameOnTheEntiretyOfStrategyWikiAndItDoesntEvenServeAUsefulPurposeOtherThanTakingUpALotOfSpace}} 2008-08-02T12:04:31 :D 2008-08-02T12:04:33 So next up is the google guide search 2008-08-02T12:05:08 You can find the code on my js page 2008-08-02T12:05:09 http://strategywiki.org/wiki/User:Prod/BlueCloud.js 2008-08-02T12:05:35 If people like it, we can add it directly to the skin 2008-08-02T12:05:52 I have a few functions that help in adding items to tabs/toolbox/etc. 2008-08-02T12:06:12 well, I was thinking we add it directly to the php 2008-08-02T12:06:20 along with the "guide pages" link 2008-08-02T12:06:23 prod: does it add a second "google" search or take over the current search? 2008-08-02T12:06:35 it adds a "search this guide" button to the toolbox 2008-08-02T12:06:40 ohhh 2008-08-02T12:06:47 i thought u meant near the search box at the top 2008-08-02T12:06:51 where people search... 2008-08-02T12:07:32 http://strategywiki.org/wiki/User:Ryan_Schmidt/Scripts/library.js <- the addToolboxItem would make the addition of the node itself easier 2008-08-02T12:08:46 Does this add the google search box or just a link to a separate page? 2008-08-02T12:08:54 a link to it, I think 2008-08-02T12:09:01 link to a separate page 2008-08-02T12:09:08 essentially a specialized link to google 2008-08-02T12:09:15 http://strategywiki.org/wiki/StrategyWiki_talk:Community_Portal/2007/July#Guide_search 2008-08-02T12:09:20 that's the previous discussion about it 2008-08-02T12:11:07 the issues with special characters and brackets isn't there 2008-08-02T12:11:11 it seems to work for me 2008-08-02T12:11:49 I think an addition to the toolbox wouldn't hurt anything. Can we get additional ad-revenue from this? 2008-08-02T12:12:01 I'd rather have a PHP addition for this instead of a javascript "hack" 2008-08-02T12:12:02 not too sure 2008-08-02T12:12:10 (Skizzerz): agreed 2008-08-02T12:12:14 less .js plz 2008-08-02T12:12:17 if it's accepted it'll be a php addition 2008-08-02T12:12:26 I'm going to reply to the thread in the forums 2008-08-02T12:12:38 but you guys should try it out before we commit it 2008-08-02T12:13:07 it worked just fine when I tried it out a while ago 2008-08-02T12:13:42 http://forums.abxy.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=26436&p=413084#p413084 2008-08-02T12:13:47 that's currently the only issue I know of 2008-08-02T12:14:17 for google searching?
