In Charge of Wiki Development
I am wondering whom is in charge of this wiki. I will assume that to be you and ask a few questions here. --Callek 12:22, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
- I am simply the most active sysop at the moment. Trel is hosting the wiki now and can work with more of the server/extension side issues, though I can do everything sysop related and forward information to him.--Naeya (talk) 12:48, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
Content Copyright
There is no associated copyright of the content here that I can (easily) find, such as a Creative Commons, Open Documentation Licence, etc. This, imo, hurts the viability of this endeavor. As well as my willingness to contribute. (as I can *not* really guarantee what others can do with my words and vice versa). --Callek 12:22, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
- I will look into getting this information to you as soon as I speak with Trel.--Naeya (talk) 12:48, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
- The problem here is many, you (elanthipedia people) cannot simply change the copyright attribution here without asking permission from ALL contributors of ALL pages you do it to. So it might be best to restrict editing until such time as people agree. And then there's me. Where I have many edits I'd like to actually make (in many areas), but would NOT want to leave the ambiguity of copyright of my edits out there. --Callek 13:26, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
Wiki Policies
The Privacy Policy and Disclaimer appears to have been lifted from another webservice with the concept that "Elanthipedia" is in fact a legal entity. Should it not be, you would *legally* need to represent "Elanthipedia" as a person, with a real-world contact address. Or simply munge your privacy policy to ensure that elanthipedia is in-fact not a legal entity. As it stands, if a Privacy issue as expressed there is broken, there is no legal entity expressed on these pages to point any claim. --Callek 12:22, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
Wiki Policies (DR Related)
You also do not express any policies on the inclusion of any "In Game" (or "In Forum") secrets. As there are things that are IG secrets, but not In Forum Secrets. And then there is "open information". Which asset does the wiki here allow. Am I able to post anything and everything about thief "cookies" or even mention their names (like on the boards). How about the quest to enter Hara. Or a Warrior Mage Pathway Quest solution. No information regarding this. --Callek 12:22, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
- Personally, I don't care if the spoilers are added as long as they are clearly marked and on a separate page perhaps, even in different color font so you have to actively highlight the text in order to see the data. The thief info is another matter, and I'm not sure if/when we'll even consider disclosing that information. Again, at this point, this is just my opinion as a player.--Naeya (talk) 12:48, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
Spam Policy
Non-Existant. --Callek 12:22, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
Wiki Extensions
The only one employed is <imagemap> (and the quasi-built in one <pre>) Might I suggest <cite> and the *spamblacklist* extension as a starter. Then also include my suggestion for: CategoryTree. All of these are on the wikipedia site (see Special:Version of Wikipedia) --Callek 12:22, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
- Seconded. Also could we get ParserFunctions installed for this wiki? If you look in the history of the At a Glance template you'll see where I tried to use it...would make the template handle empty variables better. (I also see User:Farman was trying to use #expr in one of his edits). --Grindinghalt 12:36, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
Wiki Configuration
If at all possible, it could be good to post the contents of LocalSettings.php on here (NOT counting the local-filepath [$IP] and NOT counting the DB User/Pass) So that we, the elanthipedia users, can suggest changes. --Callek 12:22, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
Site Favicon
I would also like to ask that elanthipedia do NOT use the simu play.net (dr) icon, as it only serves to confuse when multiple sites from different companies use the same icon (even Google uses different icons for different services) :-) --Callek 12:24, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
