[change] MediaWiki:Sitenotice

Could an admin please remove the Wikimania 2006 notice from MediaWiki:Sitenotice please? It's making the whole site look more deserted than it really is :) Thanks, Tangotango 09:46, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Done - Tangotango 10:42, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[change] Gmcfoley

I'm not going to be here much (if at all) for now on. If someone wants to drop me from the list of admins feel free to do so (It's done at Meta). You will be able to get me at Wikipedia if anyone has questions. Good luck people! Gerard Foley 23:15, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for all the help! You will always be welcome to edit and administer here, and that's why I say you are "emeritus" rather than "inactive" or taking you off the list. We are still very few and far between here, so I'd prefer if you stuck around until our number of regular contributors was higher, but as I said before, I respect your decision. You'll be missed. --Cromwellt|talk 17:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[change] Some updates

Just some quick updates: I've added Template:Click and changed the sister projects at the bottom to templates using click; this makes the image go directly to the sister project. In addition, I changed MediaWiki:Uploadtext back to the default text and then added some warnings; I have it currently worded that we won't accept any images unless they're under the GFDL. We don't have any images yet (save for Image:Wiki.png), and I don't see the need to allow any other type of images if they can simply be placed on commons. Thoughts on this? Thanks! Flcelloguy 20:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I wondered how that image-to-project link worked (on some projects but not others). Glad to see it works here. I see images as quite useful here, but I'm with Flcelloguy that we shouldn't allow any images here directly: they should all be on the commons. That's what it's for! If they really want to add it here, it should definitely be under GFDL. --Cromwellt|talk 21:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[change] Patrolled edits?

I've been thinking if we shouldn't implement the patrolled edit featured that MediaWiki has; it lets either everyone or just administrators mark an edit as "patrolled". Since we have such a low level of activity here, that would be useful - instead of a couple of use checking each edit by an IP address or new user, we could do it just once. See m:Help:Patrolled edit for more information. I've played around with the settings a little bit but I think only developers can access LocalSettings.php. What do you guys think? Thanks! Flcelloguy 17:19, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I support this idea. I don't see exactly how it works, but if it helps keep things in line and makes less work for all of us, let's go for it! --Cromwellt|talk 17:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
I don't care either way for this, but I would like it as an admin only tool. Gerard Foley 18:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
I agree that it should be an admin-only tool. Users (and even Wiki-knowledgeable trolls) patrolling their own edits could be very problematic. Cromwellt|talk (forgot to sign earlier)
I don't mind either way. It will probably help to coordinate efforts between admins. However, with the relatively small number of edits, I find it quite easy to at least glance over all the changes using the RSS feed, so I don't know if it will help very much, but I'm willing to give it a go. If you want to see it in action, VLC's wiki has this system (though nobody bothers to mark edits as patrolled, even though they do get checked). Actually I think the biggest drawback on this system is probably laziness about actually going and clicking the "patrolled" link. --H2g2bob 19:13, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Great! I'll ask a developer to see if we can test this out with sysop-only patrol; note that the German wiktionary recently turned this on as well. Thanks! Flcelloguy 19:53, 21 February 2006 (UTC)


[change] Special:Statistics

An administrator needs to update the Special:Statistics page. It is much simpler when it is automated. If those extra pages are counted in English Wiktionary, they need to be counted here also. If not, they have a way to omit them automatically. Because a page similar to this one changes often, a "last changed" date in the footer would also be nice. --Cromwellt|talk 12:48, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Realizing I just showed my ignorance of how this stuff works, I grin sheepishly. But there are some updates that could be done, such as fixing where the word "articles" is on the next line. How are the number of actual article pages calculated? --Cromwellt|talk 13:12, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
The page is automated, but we can change the text at MediaWiki:Sitestatstext. The text probably depends on browser; it appears on one line for my screen. Thanks! Flcelloguy 16:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
The text looks fine to me now, too. I sense the hand of an admin, but maybe it was just a fluke. --Cromwellt|talk 18:14, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[change] User:Yumyum

User:Yumyum - massive number of page moves page blamking etc

[change] Vandal

  • [1] - constant creation of nonsense pages; reverting and tagging as I see them, but needs a block. PeterSymonds 14:30, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Done by steward Spacebirdy. The pages still need deleting though. PeterSymonds 15:26, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
