== The Colonial Fleet as a "Friend" ==
I was very impressed with the costuming and carousing group known as "[http://www.colonialfleet.org/quorum/index.php? The Colonial Fleet]" at DragonCon 2007. Formed after their meeting last year, TCF was one of the hits of DragonCon, and their Saturday party and parade presence was legendary.
TCF specializes in two things: Parties and costumes. Originally gathering needed data for their first costumes from the wiki and other sources last year, TCF's resources today now dwarf our meager offerings and would be a nice cross-reference for costuming enthusiasts (we could also put links to TCF on relevant uniform articles in the "See Also"s).
I'd love to add the [http://www.colonialfleet.org/quorum/index.php? TCF seal and link] as a Friend on our Main Page. (Their logo is awesome: It uses the [[Lest We Forget]] figure.) It would link to their discussion board. Any comments? I know Shane can get this up in a heartbeat. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 00:27, 7 September 2007 (CDT)
: I have no objection. Actually, could we use some of their own research over here to fill our [[Uniforms (RDM)]] page? That would definitely bring that page up to snuff. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 00:50, 7 September 2007 (CDT)
::I went ahead and added them (heck, senior chiefs ought to have some benefit of the doubt on such things, and two of them agree). I made a quick little png of their logo. I think that's my first png, ever. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 00:55, 7 September 2007 (CDT)
== Special:Editcount broken ==
I think this was already brought up some time ago, but [[Special:Editcount]] is completely broken. First, the colors are messed up, so you have to highlight the thing to see anything. Seems to be white text on a white background. Second, the maths is also wrong. I have about 6,800 edits of which about 4,700 are in (Main). And that's supposed to be 0.06%. What the frak? --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 11:25, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
:The percentages are broken for me too. Maybe Joe or Shane should [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/Editcount/ update] the Editcount extension? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 11:34, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
:Looking at the revision log, I think I know what's causing the bug:
Total  2,870  100%
(Main)  1,096  0.03%
:The 1096 is first formatted to 1,096, ''then'' divided by 2870: (1.096/2870)*100 = 0.038. This was fixed some time ago, so an upgrade should fix it. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 11:38, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
::Catrope nailed it. It's a problem we run into every time we take an update. It's a pretty easy fix. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:47, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
:::I have fixed this 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times before so I just ignore it cause I submited a patch along time ago and no one took care of it. :-P [[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 12:28, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
::::Maybe no one there cares about their edit/post counts :) Though Catrope said they fixed it by now... --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 13:00, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
:::::Yep, you gotta upgrade your version of Editcount through the link I posted above. Just download each of the files in that folder. Unlike Steelviper thought, however, this was '''not''' caused by the 1.10 --> 1.11 update: the problem isn't in the MediaWiki core code, but in the Editcount extension, which hasn't been upgraded for some time. Shane, Joe, if you worry about running possibly unstable SVN code, there's a stable version of Editcount guaranteed to work with 1.11.10 [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/tags/REL1_11_0/extensions/Editcount/ here]. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 13:48, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
== TOS badges appear at bottom only ==

: Uploaded it now. It works, as far as I can tell. The only thing to do is to fix the table in CSS... which Shane should do since he's working on the skins anyway. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 13:54, 28 September 2007 (CDT)
