| == Glitched pages? ==
| |
| After trying to add the WIP template to [[Yoshi Touch & Go]], I realized it took me to the blank page [[Yoshi Touch]] which is ''not'' the page I want to see... --[[User:Sakurina|Sakurina]] 17:03, 27 December 2005 (PST)
| |
| : It's Dreamhost's fault--they have mod_security enabled. I'll try to take it off. --[[User:Echelon|Echelon]] 20:23, 27 December 2005 (PST)
| |
| : Can't fix. PHP as CGI doesn't get the PATH_INFO array, and I can't hack apache to use MediaWiki's fix. [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-June/005814.html] We'll have to do without them for now. Bummer. --[[User:Echelon|Echelon]] 20:54, 27 December 2005 (PST)
| |
| :: Do you mean the pathinfo() function or the $_ENV['PATH_INFO'] environment variable? pathinfo() takes an argument and does return an array but the environment variable should not be an array. I am running PHP as CGI on Dreamhost and I am able to access the PATH_INFO env variable correctly. There is some more info here [https://panel.dreamhost.com/kbase/?area=2933] about this issue as well - does that help at all? --[[User:Midblue|Midblue]] 07:27, 6 January 2006 (PST)
| |
| Now I can't seem to be able to access [[Yoshi Touch & Go]] at all... it takes me to [[Yoshi Touch]]. I'm kind of hoping it isn't gone... I did type all that stuff out... and now the issue is cleared up, awesome. --[[User:Hack|Hack]] 23:35, 27 December 2005 (PST)
| |
| * hack, It isn't gone. I have the source from the page. --[[User:Sakurina|Sakurina]] 19:52, 29 December 2005 (PST)
| |
| | |
| == Styling conventions? ==
| |
| I'm trying to make a couple pages (mainly the front page and community portal) more readable, but shouldn't the guides have some sort of styling/readability standard to respect? --[[User:Sakurina|Sakurina]] 17:03, 27 December 2005 (PST)
| |
| * You know, perhaps we need to make a page discussing StrategyWiki readability standards or something. [[User:Spiritsnare|Spiritsnare]] 19:50, 2 January 2006 (PST)
| |
| ** Well, there seems to be 2 different styles so far. The 'book' style that is more of a walkthrough (see [[Zelda: Majora's Mask]]) , and the 'FAQ' style that is just a single page with information thrown onto it (see [[Mario Kart DS]]). Surely both formats can be improved upon, but for now the styles seem fine. --[[User:Hack|Hack]] 12:14, 3 January 2006 (PST)
| |
| *** It does seem that there are two styles of page. Obviously not all games will require the "book format", though I really like that format the best. "faq" format is best suited for racing games, puzzle games, and the like. Conventions for both must be established, though right now I am concerned most with the "book format" conventions (and that is what I am working on most). --[[User:Echelon|Echelon]] 20:41, 5 January 2006 (PST)
| |
| ****I don't really like the "book format" layout; it seems a little unweildy, somehow. Maybe the OoT FAQ just hasn't been totally implemented "right" yet, but the way it's split up doesn't make much sense to me. If you're going to go as far as to start breaking the thing up, the main walkthrough should be split up as well, to allow direct access to specific dungeons/areas - and I'd have the ToC on the "front" page. I'd have taken out the ASCII art, too - some of it looks passable, but other bits aren't lining up right and it looks pretty bad, IMO. --[[User:Aniki21|Aniki21]] 11:58, 6 January 2006 (GMT)
| |
| ** As for a page discussing standards, we can make one once they're established. --[[User:Echelon|Echelon]] 20:41, 5 January 2006 (PST)

| == Preventing spoilers ==
| |
| This will no doubt be important in the future, but how will we prevent someone from editing any page and posting spoilers in them? Should we lock guides when they're completed? I wish there were a way to mark pages as protected yet still allow edits, then we could manually approve edits made to guides that are already complete. --[[User:Echelon|Echelon]] 21:26, 5 January 2006 (PST)
| |
| * I suppose preventing spoilers will be quite difficult without some type of moderation. Maybe we should stick with a 'trust' policy for now, hoping that people won't throw spoilers in any place. If it gets out of hand then we can start protecting specific/completed guides, like how Wikipedia takes protective action when vandalism occurs. --[[User:Hack|Hack]] 02:53, 6 January 2006 (PST)
| |
| == Wikibooks==
| |
| As I have just been doing, I suggest people go onto http://en.wikibooks.org, look around for strategy guides, and put them on strategywiki. They're license and format compatible, but they're aren't a lot of them. Ones that do exist need work.
| |
| | |
| As a sidenote, the Total Annihilation wikibooks article would make a very good "book format" guide on Strategywiki. Could someone convert that? I gotta get back to work. :P --[[User:Tapo|Tapo]] 10:32, 6 January 2006 (EST)
| |
| | |
| :If you want to see all the Wikibooks that could be used the category is [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Computer_and_video_games_bookshelf here] there may also be some more wiki format walkthroughs that we can use [http://wikicities.com/wiki/Category:Gaming at Wikicities.com].

| == Community Portal Discusssion ==
| |
| I don't think that the Community Portal should contain navigation as well as a discussion. It leaves the navigation too open to vandalism. I suggest either setting up a forum for discussion, moving it into it's own seperate page, putting in the [[talk:Main Page]] or moving the navigation to a seperate page - Current events? [[User:Jackhynes|Jackhynes]] 08:30, 6 January 2006 (PST)
| |
| | |
| :Or [[Talk:Community Portal]] - but I was just about to say the same thing. I don't think this wiki needs a 'Current events' page at all, it's just that MediaWiki sites tend to inherit one. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 09:25, 6 January 2006 (PST)
| |
| | |
| == Site Navigation ==
| |
| This site looks like a good idea! However, as a user visiting the main page, there's no way at all to get to guides apart from a search. Tagging guides with a platform category and linking to those from the main page would help. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 09:25, 6 January 2006 (PST)
