Why not have some way for different distinctions? Anyone can have a bio, but there is also a seperate distinction for more well-known members?

I'd have no problem with giving the three of you Sysop access. Let me look over the docs and see the powers each access level has.

As for requiring people logged in, I'm still mulling it over, for right now it just requires someone to login, but I might allow anon editing since we can always revert.

what would the criteria be for "well known" members?

sysop

This is the most common privileged user. A user marked as 'sysop' can delete and undelete pages, protect and unprotect pages, block and unblock IPs, issue read-only SQL queries to the database, and use a shortcut revert-to-previous-contributor's-revision feature in contribs. See Help:Administration for details. (Due to something of a historical accident, users with sysop status are generally referred to as 'administrators' or 'admins' on the English Wikipedia, and most likely elsewhere.)

---
So I removed bureaucrat on you guys, and you should now all be set.

DanGarion · 03-03-2007, 04:25 PM

Anyone interested in creating a graphic for the front page post them here and we can figure out what we want.

I don't know, I'm just saying if people are worried about every tom, dick, and harry having a page this is an option.. I personally think it woudl be silly to disallow a bio on anyone...

DanGarion · 03-03-2007, 04:47 PM

I don't have a preference as to who has their own member page, but that's just me.

MIJB#19 · 03-03-2007, 04:58 PM

FYI, the screen names of some of the listed members are misspelt.

Well then you should fix them!

Or you could post which ones are misspelled here so others can do it.

You got me there.
Although, it shouldn't be so hard to find the right spelling at, I dunno, FOFC's member list?

Anyway, it caught me right away that QuikSand wasn't with a capital S and Ryan S was merged to RyanS. Also, if my memory serves me right, I'm pretty sure that HornsManiac had a capital M.

Barkeep49 · 03-03-2007, 05:40 PM

Hope that didn't come off wrong. I was trying to make an earnest suggestion MIJB.

Barkeep49 · 03-03-2007, 05:53 PM

I fixed Quiksand to be a capital S and Horns to be a capital M. I also made sure if anyone entered Ryans that it would go to Ryan S, though the software has no pages linking to Ryans.

Logan · 03-03-2007, 06:02 PM

I don't think it matters about the member pages and whatever...but there need to be more links to the great FOFC threads. It's been a half hour and I'm only on page 4 of the "Kyle, tell us about Hornsmaniac..." thread. God I love it.

st.cronin · 03-03-2007, 06:05 PM

How do you create a page? I want to create a page for Maximum Football.

Barkeep49 · 03-03-2007, 06:21 PM

I KNEW there was a thread I wanted to wiki about and then couldn't remember what it was.

To create a page:
Do a search for the page. When the screen comes up it says:
"There is no page titled "maximum football". You can create this page."
Click on create this page and you'll have your page.

I agree. I've hesitated about putting something up about the dissolution of .400 Studios because I don't remember the details. But that's certainly a thread worthy of remembering.

I think it was actually several threads. Even at the time, there really were no details, just various rumors and allegations, at least that's how it seemed to me.

I created a Maximum Football page, just two sentences.

Barkeep49 · 03-03-2007, 06:56 PM

Seems like a thread that monumental needs two entries. So I created a separate page to just focus on the thread itself, besides one on the game and giving a more general overview of the thread.

Logan · 03-03-2007, 07:21 PM

What the hell was the name of the HUGE thread (I could've sworn it was started by CleBrownsFan) about when to call a girl after getting her number? I tried searching, and no luck...unless my search skills are terrible. Anyway, that was a great one that should be on there.

st.cronin · 03-03-2007, 07:24 PM

how long to call?

Logan · 03-03-2007, 07:47 PM

Finally found it. The search function sucks. Ctown fan, CleBrownsFan...same thing.

Didn't sound that way. I thought I were the one sounding like a jerk.

Edit: And thanks Logan for the idea to go read "How long to call?" again!

No problem. Hopefully this is the kind of stuff that will give some greater use to the FOFC Wiki. I know that I would love to re-read these classic threads every once in awhile.

Yeah that's what I see this as, a reference to those important posts and information that can't always be easily found on the message board itself.

JeeberD · 03-03-2007, 08:33 PM

Hooray, I have a page already!

JeeberD · 03-03-2007, 08:56 PM

Dola-

I know it's fairly bare-bones so far, but I'm having a blast browsing the Wiki...

You will get spam very quickly if you don't require a login.

As for people asking how to do things, until we build the help pages it hsould be easy enough to look up the help pages for wikipedia as a reference (it's latee so I'm not going to do it now

)

lordscarlet · 03-06-2007, 10:44 AM

Barkeep49 · 03-08-2007, 08:19 PM

Wish there was a way to encourage more contributions since right now the content being created is very focused on what a few of us find interesting to create and not necessarily the most "useful" info. Not to mention nearly all of the pages we have are stubs in great need of more info.

I think some people feel intimidated by the way the system works.

st.cronin · 03-08-2007, 11:57 PM

I think maybe a new thread with some directions and guidelines, maybe stickied at the top, would generate some momentum.

Lathum · 03-08-2007, 11:59 PM

can someone post a link to the page on wiki

Well someone would need to create a thread with directions and guidelines and then the powers that be would need to sticky it. I give permission to anyone that is contributing to make the post (I'm still just learning the page creation directions), or if someone wants to PM me the post I will post it and ask Skydog about stickying it...

DanGarion · 03-09-2007, 12:17 AM

I have added a bunch of games that we discuss here on the boards as catagories. If someone is interested in adding the actual content that would be a good start to learning how to do this. Look at the current design for the FOF description and then write something like that for any game you are interested in.

Here is the link to the Text Sim category.

lordscarlet · 03-09-2007, 10:21 AM

It's going to be tough to get this going. I'm trying to only add stuff with content, and as a relative n00b that pretty much leaves easy stuff like IWS.

The best thing to do for directions is link up: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing

We use this software so all of these rules should apply.

Looks ok to me

Barkeep49 · 03-10-2007, 12:20 PM

Yeah it came back up for me. Been working away on it now.

DanGarion · 03-10-2007, 12:23 PM

It was down for about an hour. I notified the host and they fixed it.

DanGarion · 03-10-2007, 12:26 PM

And now it's down again. So give it a few mins.

Swaggs · 03-10-2007, 12:37 PM

I'm on it right now and it is working fine.

Barkeep49 · 03-10-2007, 12:43 PM

Yeah it came back up after about 5 minutes.

Joe · 04-14-2007, 02:18 PM

hay cool theres a page about me. but I'm not well known!

Neon_Chaos · 04-20-2007, 02:55 AM

Someone needs to add "Welcome to Hollywood."

Go for it. That's how a wiki works.

Would people be more willing to develop this if they didn't have to create a user name and log in?

I think not being at some random URL would help.
