Revision as of 11:23, 13 May 2014

If you have a problem with the AmtWiki, leave me a message here and I'll make sure it get's on the list and fixed as soon as possible. Make sure you leave me a contact point for you, your real name, and your Amt name. Also please detail what is wrong or not working. Thank You

Changes for my lineage members.

Shoeless Ds has changed his name to Shoeless Corvus and my other MaA has a page that has been deleted I guess there was a conflict. contact me anytime. Sir Shadow Corvus BfP/RW (John McDonald) Items taken care of.

Page Problems.

I'm trying to fix it so my page and my profile sync. As of now, my profile says there is no page (was deleted because it was duplicate?), but when I search for myself I find my page. Page name is Moonyen, profile name is Moonyen, real name is Christine.

  • Ok no problem, I was reviewing and saw it being the same I will return it as it was with 1 addition - Ork3 link active. My apologies for this inconvenience.


Hmm, I still have to edit one page, and then the other. Is there any way to make the user page and the info page the same page? Moonyen/Christine

Moonyen, sorry this took so long to reply, but I have been researching how to do this and the only thing really is to merge the two pages which will effectively erase one- so I'm guessing not an option?

Do something like what Linden did with hers and redirect the one page to the other. Please redirect the article page to the userpage though, you have no idea how hard it is to get to someone's talk page if you do it the other way. Zell Faze 06:41, 13 May 2014 (EDT)

Skipcaptcha right

I'm requesting that a new permissions group be created for editors that clearly are not bots that has the skipcaptcha right, allowing us to not have to fill out a captcha every single time we make an edit. I'm also requesting that if such a group is made that Ibe put in it. You can trust me not to be some random Internet spammer. I've made several constructive edits here and Ihave a strong history with both Amtgard and wikis.

I have been playing Amtgard for the last seven years. I don't get out to the field much because of the travel distance involved, but Ido ditch with some friends at my home every week and I am intending to start a group here where I live so that tthe travel issue might be resolved.

I am also an editor on the English Wikipedia where I have made over 1,500 edits. Between all Wikimedia Foundation projects Ihave made over 2,600 edits and I have been editting there for over five years. If you count edits on other smaller Wikis, such as this one, the number is likely substantially higher still. Additionally I do Mediawiki extension development as part of what I do for a living, and as of last week have also submitted patches to Mediawiki core. I am on the Mediawiki developer mailing list and the Mediawiki enterprise mailing list. I myself own and administer a number of Wikis. This should show that I have substantial experience with mediawiki and Wikis in general and am not likely to do something awful as soon as the captcha is turned off.

If you are willing to do this I can walk you through the changes to LocalSettings.php and tthe changes you will have to make in Mediawiki itself. I emailed Linden asking about this last night, but upon checking her contribs, it apears she hasn't been active here in some time.

Also if you guys ever need any help with anything feel free to ask. Wikis and the creation of freely licensed content are both passions of mine.

Parser Functions Extension

Aaaahhh! I just realized this Wiki doesn't have Parser Functions installed. I know I'm new and I've already made one request for changes to the configuration of the Wiki, but can I make just one more. Can you please install Parser Functions? It comes pre-packaged with Mediawiki in 1.18, so it literally just needs to be enabled. Its an extremely commonly used extension that makes it possible to do rudimentary scripting with templates and would make life a whole lot easier on me. This is literally the first public Wiki that I have edited that didn't have it installed. I just sort of assumed that you guys did. Zell Faze (Talk) 07:23, 13 May 2014 (EDT)
