I've defined a Delete template to add to pages that we want to remove from the wiki (for example, the page title is mis-spelled, and the content has already been moved to a correctly spelled title).

Just add...

Code: Select all

{{Delete}}

...to the page, near the top (but after any #REDIRECT statement) to nominate a page for deletion. Pages nominated for deletion are automatically added to the new Delete category.

Hey, was my user-ID on the wiki deleted or something? I tried to log on and it wouldn't let me :/

Just reviving this thread a moment to encourage people to add more articles. There's apparently enough "debate" activity going on with JMSpock and company for a lot of typical arguments to get addressed in the Wiki.

We can define a whole "common Trekkie arguments" category.

Could someone kindly point out how to start a new article? The English-to-trektard dictionary is coming along quite nicely but I'm not sure where to put it.

You simply click the edit tab on a wiki page, then type in the page name you want. Then you put [[ ]] brackets around the page name in question which will create a link and hit save. You then click on the link, and start typing. Copy the formatting from other pages and replace with your own content to save time.

OK, the dictionary is up. Can I move it to a subsection of "debating tactics" or "famous trolls" articles?

Servo, you used to have a quote from a guy named "Gof" regarding the word "Stationary." That would make a good entry.

You simply edit the page you want it linked to and insert the relevant name of the page. so you'd take

Code: Select all

http://wiki.blahblahblah.com/my_page_here

and use [[my_page_here]] whenever you want to link to the page. If you just want the name to show up, you'd type [[my_page_here| Troll]] to make it just one word. Similar to dressing a link on a BBS but with less user-friendly code.

Don't need the underscoring when linking to a page though.

If you want it to appear in a category, just add the relevant category code & name at the bottom of the article, eg: [[Category:Star Wars]] or whatever. It'll then appear alongside any other articles in that category.

You should probably just categorize it, using the following markup:

Code: Select all

[[Category:Famous trolls]]

Any chance of setting it up as 'wiki.stardestroyer.net' and/or rewrite the addresses to mask the 'index.php' for the articles? I think you already do this for server.stardestroyer.net, rewriting foo.php to foo_raw.php, etc.

ImperialWiki Privacy policy

I think the privacy policy page should be filled in, but I don't feel authorized to do it myself.

Suggestions:

ImperialWiki does not and will not sell information about its users.
ImperialWiki reserves the right to release information about users who vandalize the site.

Anything else?

personally I think we should be something about the articles that have nothing but the title (probably former copy/paste stuff) in them, either delete or put some kind of place holder text into there.

Where you find them, add a {{stub}} template. That will make them easier to find later.

If anyone's wondering how they might contribute to the Wiki, check the Stubs category...

Someone adding rebuttal #4 to the Alderaan argument made a link to a wiki article about suspension of disbelief but never apparently made the SoD page. That omission has now been rectified.

Darth Servo · Post by **Darth Servo** » 2007-12-08 03:47pm

Added pages on Andrew_Joshua_Talon and Husker (DM) Jay.

Also added "override" to the Trektard dictionary

Feel free to add to the articles as I'm sure there are jewels from each idiot I couldn't remember off the top of my head.

Is it a Good Thing that SirNitram is yet to be included on this Wiki, or a bad thing because it means you guys have forgotten he was ASVS alumni as well?

Darth Servo · Post by **Darth Servo** » 2007-12-08 08:08pm

Its neither. It only means he is choosing to not contribute. He is mentioned in various articles, mentioned as being a moderator, but he has not yet created his article on himself.

Zablorg · Post by **Zablorg** » 2007-12-08 08:12pm

Added 'Evidence' to English-Trektard dictionary.

Um, yeah. I had to create my own. If someone else creates it, you might not like it.

Post by **LadyTevar** » 2007-12-08 11:47pm

LadyTevar and Knights Astrum Clades entries updated

Darth Servo · Post by **Darth Servo** » 2007-12-09 12:29am

Does someone want to make a second subcategory of the "trolls" category for "Mindless Scooter Cockgoblins"?

Zablorg · Post by **Zablorg** » 2007-12-09 05:49am

Zablorg entry created. I needed to tell you this because I'm vain.

Now lets see, what is missing from the wiki... Moar pictures required, methinks. I'll go get some tomorrow.
