The current podcast situation leaves us playing catch up (whenever the first three are released). Thankfully, I've located a potential [http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=681054&view=findpost&p=5144602 volunteer] for transcribing the third episode, and I'm definitely interested in doing "Six of One". Would anybody like to step up and take on "He That Believeth in Me"? That way we'd have the first three episodes going in parallel, which ought to get us caught up in short order. Speaking of ketchup, if anybody has a chance, there are an inordinate amount of acts that need to be verified over at [[BW:POD]]. Verifying the acts is a far less painful act than the transcription process, and any help on that is appreciated. I'd step up myself, but as the transcriber of most of the acts I'm not really eligible. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 00:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
:Count me in for transcribing HTBIM. I'll have no school for the next three weeks, so I'll have the time. BTW, does this Darthrazorback guy have an account here? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 11:27, 23 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
::Awesome! And, not as far as I could tell, though I'm not picky as to how he gets the transcript in, whether it's by creating an account or sending it via other means (email, etc) and me posting it for him. Hopefully he'll create an account, though, and we'll have a new Galactipedian in the fold. I'll cross that bridge once the podcasts are posted. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:59, 23 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
:::I'm not saying he must have an account here, just that it'd be more useful if he transcribed directly to the wiki. That way, parts of the podcast can be verified shortly after completion, and he can preview wiki markup rightaway. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 12:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
::::I'll definitely encourage him to do so. I'm just happy to have an extra hand either way. Also, if you get a chance, if you could verify some of my old acts, I'll try to verify the few acts that I'm eligible to. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:03, 23 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
:::::If I can't transcribe, I will try to verify a few when life slows down ''just a wee'' for me. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 14:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
== Woopra slowness... AGAIN == | |||
Just like it did to the forum last week, the Woopra script is making the wiki load extremely slow. I had to AdBlock *.woopra.com just to be able to post this here. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 20:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
: I've went in to LocalSettings and commented out the extension, so that it doesn't load. I'll probably have to do the same thing over at [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum] RFN. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 20:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
: On that note... I think we should disable Woopra permanently, at least until they get their act together... if they can't handle the traffic or technical issues on their side, and it brings down our traffic, then it's not worth having. Period. After all, I don't find it that important to have "real time" statistics on things, and our audience cares not for such things either. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 21:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
::So that's what the trouble was. I like the stats, but not the delays, especially during live-time. Down with da Man! --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
== Double redirects == | |||
When I discovered [[Special:Doubleredirects]] and started checking it regularly and fixing double redirects, I noticed nobody really cares or knows about them. Now that Season 4 is airing, multiple pages are being moved every week, creating more double redirects than ever before. I changed the [[MediaWiki:Movepage-moved|message]] you see after moving a page so it mentioned double redirects and pages linking to the old name, but nobody seems to have noticed that either. I've just fixed another batch of double redirects, so I'd like to draw attention to this: whenever you move a page, all redirects to that page will become double redirects (which are invalid and don't work). So please, people, after moving a page, [[Special:Doubleredirects|check]] whether you've created any and [[Special:Whatlinkshere|see]] if you have to change a name on pages linking to the old title. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 13:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
: Thanks for this, Catrope! And you're right, we do need to keep an attentive eye on this issue. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 15:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
: It doesn't help that the [[Special:Specialpages|special pages overview]] was removed from the admin sidebar. I have a link to it in my bookmarks, but I was nice to have that shorthand. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:31, 26 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
:: The link's on the bottom of the page, just underneath the bottom editing toolbar on each page. ;-) Although we could definitely slip it back into the sidebar, at least for the chiefs. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 15:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
== | == Volunteering Translator in need of help == | ||
Hi | |||
Apologies in advance if this is not the right place to post my request for help. but I'm at my wits' end and utterly lost after navigating this site over and over. I am a frequent user of wikis, but truth is this is the first time a take a peek behind the curtain. | |||
I would like to "serve" as a translator for the Spanish site (I'm a bilingual philologist with time to spare) but I don't know the correct procedure as to where to submit my request to join the translation team. I have already translated some articles on some of the main characters that look fine when previewed, but I really don't know what the next step is. | |||
So, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks (and again apologies if I have posted this on the wrong place) | |||
:Hi! Get in touch with [[:es:Usuario:Baltar Gaiolas|Usuario:Baltar Gaiolas]] ont he Spanish wiki. He's our main contact over there and he can direct you around. You can also check out the [[BW:i18n]] project page for more information. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 14:01, 28 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
