== An old question about hits counter from Enabran ==

Hi Joe, [[user:Enabran|Enabran]] asked some time ago if it is possible to retrieve the hits counter. I tried to install a stable version of [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HitCounters Extension:HitCounters] on the [[:fr:|French wiki]]. It seems to work. You'll need to run an <tt>maintenance/update.php</tt> after installing the extension with the following in the <tt>LocalSettings.php</tt> file

wfLoadExtension( 'HitCounters' );

It should keep the old values. As you wish, but I think there will be a happy, happy editor ;-) Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 13:57, 3 June 2020 (PDT)

== TOS/G80 unproduced scripts ==

Greetings fellow Colonial!

I'm interested in assisting in regards to the summary pages of unproduced scripts of the 1978 series and its follow-up in 1980, but there are a few problems in this regard. First, it appears the wiki hasn't been updated in quite some time regarding these scripts (so I'm unsure if this is an active project or not). Second, the link to the Battlestar Pegasus page is dead. I have a few scripts printed out from the '78 series a few years ago, but I'd need access to the other scripts (especially The Beta Pirates, which I've wanted to read for many yahrens). Is this wiki still active, and can I assist? {{unsigned|Ninth Lord of Kobol}}

: Hello! Yes, the wiki is still somewhat active. I mostly maintain the English one at this point, with assistance of two other admins: [[User:Enabran]] of the [[:de:|German language Wiki]] and [[User:LIMAFOX76]] of the [[:fr:|French language Wiki]].

: As to the scripts, I have digitized PDF copies of the ones I've collected over the yahrens. I just need to re-upload them again (I'll upload them to the Wiki directly and update the links to the specific episodes). I'll start with "[[The Beta Pirates]]" and go from there. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 14:22, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

== Battlestar Wiki's new skin ==

Hi Joe, I hope you're well. I discovered the new skin you implanted for BW. Is that normal if everything is still in a white background even if you modified the css page to adapt? Thanks for your answer. Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 06:24, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

: Howdy! Things are OK -- I hope things are good for you! For the background, it is adaptable, and there are three options if you click on the wheel/gear icon on the upper menu bar: Auto, Light and Dark. You might be on "light" or "auto," so if you click on Dark you should get the "darker" red theme.

: I'm trying to figure out what to do for the "light" theme (so I've left it alone for now), and might try something that invokes the cream/light brown paperwork from the series.

: I'm tweaking the theme as I go as well, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions, let me know. Cheers! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 23:38, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
:: Things are good for me as well, thanks! Regarding the skin, I chose the Dark theme, yet it is still white. Did I miss something in my parameters??
:: Small update, it seems that the dark and light themes are linked to the browser main color theme. I managed to change it in Edge and Firefox but I had to purge the cache. If I switch the browsers' theme back to light, it comes back to the light mode. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 20:54, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

::: I loved the old cream-coloured theme developed by Paul Gu. I don't think that theme would work in the current versions of Media Wiki, though. But if you have the CSS of that light theme, maybe we can use the same colours in the current Citizen based theme? -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 20:28, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

== SSL certificates ==

Hi Joe, Hope you're fine. There is an issue with the SSL certificates on all Battlestar wikis and Buck Wiki. It says that they are not valid anymore and block the page's loading. Is it possible to update the certificates so no warning message appears ? Thank you very much. Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 10:23, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Joe, I hope you're fine. Is it possible please to add the two "Caprica" fonts on the German wiki root directory? It is already configured to have them, so it will appears as soon you import them.

== Old WikiFrakr content and other language wikis ==

WiiFrakr had some fantastic and hilarious content back in the day. Sadly this was lost in time. Is there a way to restore those pages back if a backup is available? Maybe instead of a separate sub-wiki, those pages can live under a namespace on the English Wiki.
Similarly, the other language wikis which existed are lost. Is it possible to restore them too? -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 20:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

== TOS/G80 unproduced scripts ==

Greetings fellow Colonial!

I'm interested in assisting in regards to the summary pages of unproduced scripts of the 1978 series and its follow-up in 1980, but there are a few problems in this regard. First, it appears the wiki hasn't been updated in quite some time regarding these scripts (so I'm unsure if this is an active project or not). Second, the link to the Battlestar Pegasus page is dead. I have a few scripts printed out from the '78 series a few years ago, but I'd need access to the other scripts (especially The Beta Pirates, which I've wanted to read for many yahrens). Is this wiki still active, and can I assist? {{unsigned|Ninth Lord of Kobol}}

: Hello! Yes, the wiki is still somewhat active. I mostly maintain the English one at this point, with assistance of two other admins: [[User:Enabran]] of the [[:de:|German language Wiki]] and [[User:LIMAFOX76]] of the [[:fr:|French language Wiki]].

: As to the scripts, I have digitized PDF copies of the ones I've collected over the yahrens. I just need to re-upload them again (I'll upload them to the Wiki directly and update the links to the specific episodes). I'll start with "[[The Beta Pirates]]" and go from there. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 14:22, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

== Battlestar Wiki's new skin ==

Hi Joe, I hope you're well. I discovered the new skin you implanted for BW. Is that normal if everything is still in a white background even if you modified the css page to adapt? Thanks for your answer. Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 06:24, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

: Howdy! Things are OK -- I hope things are good for you! For the background, it is adaptable, and there are three options if you click on the wheel/gear icon on the upper menu bar: Auto, Light and Dark. You might be on "light" or "auto," so if you click on Dark you should get the "darker" red theme.

: I'm trying to figure out what to do for the "light" theme (so I've left it alone for now), and might try something that invokes the cream/light brown paperwork from the series.

: I'm tweaking the theme as I go as well, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions, let me know. Cheers! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 23:38, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
:: Things are good for me as well, thanks! Regarding the skin, I chose the Dark theme, yet it is still white. Did I miss something in my parameters??
:: Small update, it seems that the dark and light themes are linked to the browser main color theme. I managed to change it in Edge and Firefox but I had to purge the cache. If I switch the browsers' theme back to light, it comes back to the light mode. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 20:54, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

::: I loved the old cream-coloured theme developed by Paul Gu. I don't think that theme would work in the current versions of Media Wiki, though. But if you have the CSS of that light theme, maybe we can use the same colours in the current Citizen based theme? -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 20:28, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

== SSL certificates ==

Hi Joe, Hope you're fine. There is an issue with the SSL certificates on all Battlestar wikis and Buck Wiki. It says that they are not valid anymore and block the page's loading. Is it possible to update the certificates so no warning message appears ? Thank you very much. Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 10:23, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

There are problems with our templates. But I do not have the skills to solve them. When you look at a german ship, the page does not look like the english ship.

http://de.battlestarwiki.org/Kampfstern,_Valkyrie-Typ
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/Valkyrie_type_battlestar

I think the error must be here, but I have no clue where:
http://de.battlestarwiki.org/Vorlage:Schiffsdaten

: Hi Enabran, It's not your template by itself, but the previous Battlestar-made skin used built-in classes (like "infobox"). The MediaWiki skins don't have it by itself and put a "default" class template. You have to create those classes inside the <tt>[[de:MediaWiki:Common.css|MediaWiki:Common.css]]</tt> and <tt>[[de:MediaWiki:Timeless.css|MediaWiki:Timeless.css]]</tt> pages. For that, you have to declare yourself Interface Administrator with your [http://de.battlestarwiki.org/index.php?title=Spezial%3ABenutzerrechte&user=Enabran User rights] page. You can copy-paste the [[MediaWiki:Timeless.css|English Timeless.css page]] on your German page, and see the results. It should be a first test before a definitive skin for the wiki (working on it).

== German Battlestar Wiki issues ==

: I put back this conversation here (you were on an archive). Hi Enabran, The German interwiki is not configured correctly. It points to the former address (with a <tt>wiki</tt> inside it. It has to be changed by an "Interwiki" group member (not you nor me for now). Just as a reminder, in the German LocalSettings.php the following line has to be changed from (that's for you Joe)
<pre>$wgLanguageCode = "en";</pre>
to

There are problems with our templates. But I do not have the skills to solve them. When you look at a german ship, the page does not look like the english ship.

http://de.battlestarwiki.org/Kampfstern,_Valkyrie-Typ
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/Valkyrie_type_battlestar

I think the error must be here, but I have no clue where:
http://de.battlestarwiki.org/Vorlage:Schiffsdaten

: Hi Enabran, It's not your template by itself, but the previous Battlestar-made skin used built-in classes (like "infobox"). The MediaWiki skins don't have it by itself and put a "default" class template. You have to create those classes inside the <tt>[[de:MediaWiki:Common.css|MediaWiki:Common.css]]</tt> and <tt>[[de:MediaWiki:Timeless.css|MediaWiki:Timeless.css]]</tt> pages. For that, you have to declare yourself Interface Administrator with your [http://de.battlestarwiki.org/index.php?title=Spezial%3ABenutzerrechte&user=Enabran User rights] page. You can copy-paste the [[MediaWiki:Timeless.css|English Timeless.css page]] on your German page, and see the results. It should be a first test before a definitive skin for the wiki (working on it). Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 06:14, 1 September 2019 (PDT)

:: I got it. Thank you!

And where can I include the Colonial Logo to the left of every side or change the left bar of the site?
: Unfortunately you cannot do anything for that, it's a file declared in the Wiki's <tt>LocalSettings.php</tt> file. Only a server admin (like Joe) can modify it. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 09:42, 1 September 2019 (PDT)

Hi Joe, Do you have any plan about the French Battlestar Wiki to "really" come back to life? If you want to, you can directly write to my personal email address, it didn't change. Thank you very much. Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 12:21, 11 August 2019 (PDT)
: Yes, I do! I've just been traveling, so I haven't had the ability to carve time out for it.

:::::Hi Joe, Hope you're well, I know you're very busy right now and I'm really, really sorry to bother you again. It's just to lighten your burden about the French wiki. It will allow me to make the interwiki links work between the English, German and French Battlestar Wikis so I can populate the links when the pages are created. You won't have to worry about the design and the MediaWiki update for the French one, and when (and only when) you are ready, we can prepare to transfer the wiki on the main domain.

'''MLMT поезд''' (также известен как ''Лев'' или ''МагЛев'') - это система общественного транспорта в [[Каприка-Сити]]. Этот поезд использует магнитную левитацию для достижения парения и быстрого перемещения ко всем уголкам Каприка-Сити.

==Терракт==

За 58 лет до Падения Колоний, ученики [[Академия Афины|Академии Афины]] и члены религиозной организации [[Солдаты Одного]], [[Зоуи Грэйстоун]], [[Лэйси Рэнд]] и [[Бен Старк]] на поезде №23 решили отправиться в космопорт Каприка-Сити, чобы отправиться на Геминон. В последний момент Лэйси не смогла, и на поезд сели только Зоуи и Бен. Через несколько минут после отправления, Бен детонировал бомбу, обвязанную вокруг своего тела и убил всех пассажиров поезда, включая свою девушку Зоуи и семью каприканского адвоката [[Джозеф Адама|Джозефа Адамы]]: дочь [[Тамара Адама|Тамару]] и жену [[Шэннон Адама|Шэннон]].

Агент [[Департамент Глобальной Обороны|Департамента Глобальной Обороны]], [[Джордан Дюрам]], начал расследование терракта, что ошибочно привело его к выводу, что терракт совершила Зоуи Грэйстоун.

Battlestar Wiki:Future of the wiki

2016-02-20T21:25:59Z

CylonU87:

This page is for the Battlestar Wiki stakeholders to identify the current needs pertaining to the long term survival of this wiki, and come up with ideas and proposals to meet those goals.

== Problems ==

(If you notice any more problems/issues, please do add to the list below.)

* All the six language wiki's unavailable
* WikiFrakr is broken
* BSG Forum is down
* BS Pegasus is lost since ages

== Messages from Joe B. ==

=== 11 September 2005 ===
Greetings Colonials:

Due to diminishing interest in BSG and the fact that most of the main contributors have since moved on, I am looking at the possibly of shutting down the website come early next year.

That is to say, unless I'm able to hand this off to someone who is willing to continue to maintain it (both financially and from the tech support perspective, who has the willingness and time available), that seems to be the only option. It's honestly this option that I've been procrastinating on for quite a while now, even though the writing was on the wall for quite some time, simply because I was loathe to simply turn off the lights and walk away.

Either way, it has been a stellar 10 year run, and I personally couldn't be happier with how things have turned out -- considering that this project was initially borne from boredom. Despite those origins, the numerous contributors and roller coaster algae-ridden ride have been worth it, despite all the ups-and-downs.

In other words, while all good things do come to an end, I'm not sad that it is coming to an end... but happy that it happened to begin with. And I hope this little website happened to affect you more positively than negatively. smile emoticon

Regards,

Joe Beaudoin Jr.

Battlestar Wiki

=== 2 November 2015 Update ===
Hi All,

As you may be aware, the website was taken off line about a week or so ago. The reason is due to an accounting snafu, which I am working on resolving with the hosting provider.

In the long term, we are working on ways to keep the site online as long as possible, and we've received a few offers that are being evaluated. However, as the core group has other obligations, we are doing this as our free time permits. (Everyone here works pro bono, so we don't make any money off the site at all.)

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we'll have updates in due course.

Regards,

Joe B.

CylonU87: /* Future */

This Page is for general discussions of this Wiki

== Actual Responsibility ==

Who is the person, responsible for maintenance?
It seems that all senior-officers of the BSG are inactive. Shane, Joe, aso...
Joe is not responding on mails and other contact metohdes.

=== Problems ===

* French wiki unavailable
* German wiki unavailable
* Strange "SQL" Errors on the german wiki
 
== Alternative contacts? ==

If none of the Battlestar Wiki senior chiefs are available, maybe contacting someone outside would be helpful: "Paul Gu" and "pair Networks" are listed at the very bottom of each page. Maybe if one or both of them are still active and understand the situation, they can intervene. -- [[User:BlueResistance|BlueResistance]] 23:03, 14 August 2014 (EDT)
: I tryed to contact Paul Gu right now. I hope he will give me an answer --[[User:Enabran|Enabran]] 05:05, 15 August 2014 (EDT).
: Apologies for being AWOL, however real life has certainly taken me away from things for the last few months.
: With regards to Paul Gu, we only based our design off his work... he has nothing to do with us, at all.
: As for the technical issues, I'm really the only one left who is active on that end. I am working on revamping the site (from a technical perspective), which will be deployed under beta.battlestarwiki.org when it's ready. It will be a complete redesign, as the one we're currently using is dated... and showing its age, like the Old Girl. It will also take time to deploy, as I am a one-man team. Further updates as I have them. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 18:31, 17 August 2014 (EDT)

:: Over a year has passed and nothing happened in between. Can it be so hard to repair the german "recent changes" function? I am not able to control what happens on the german wiki without that function. And I do not want to work on new edits without this function.

What if Joe has gone too? Will that be the end of this wiki?
:I imagine it would be closed only if Joe instructs the hosting company to close it. If it's clear to Paul Gu and/or the company hosting the wiki that Joe is no longer active, and they see that it's active contributors who are requesting a transfer of ownership and not just some stranger to the wiki, I would be willing to bet that they would transfer it. There are enough references to the Battlestar Wiki on Wikipedia and other sites to argue that the site should remain up and running as a general resource. -- [[User:BlueResistance|BlueResistance]] 22:59, 15 August 2014 (EDT)
:: My demise has been greatly exaggerated. That said, I am just as concerned about continuity of things as you are, and will be putting out feelers to ensure that there's a sense of continuity to things... as, frankly, a lot of the continuity methods basically went out the window after the show left the air, and all of the senior chiefs have pretty much "retired" at this point.

==New Zealand Broadcast Dates for Season Three==
FINALLY starts today on C4, New Zealand's music & "youth" channel. the C4 website is also offering the 10-part webisodes that preceeded the third season.
http://www.c4tv.co.nz/
[[User:Triton|Triton]] 23:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

==Purpose?==
What's the goal of the Community Portal page, eventually? What kind of things should go here? If I had any idea of how to help, I'd feel better about changing it to, well, something at all. --[[User:Day|Day]] 00:49, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

: My thought was to have a list of links and references to other BSG resources and bulletin boards. -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 09:48, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

::Ah. So not so much a portal to the community of ''this'' site, but a portal to the greater BSG community on the web. I see. --[[User:Day|Day]] 11:47, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

::: Or it can function as both our internal community as well as the "greater" community. :-) -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 14:58, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

One purpose I suggest would deal with "action alerts." For example, the "Battlestar Pegasus" entry on Wikipedia has been proposed for deletion. Would it be appropriate to alert readers that they can go [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Battlestar_Pegasus| here]] to register their votes? [[User:Jtmichcock|Jtmichcock]] 07:20, 25 October 2005 (EDT)

== Village Pump? ==
I didn't know where else to post this, so i'll do it here.

Can we get a page like the wikipedia village pump? The village pump is simply an area where wikipedians (sorry, wiki-editors) can come to talk to each other about the wiki. It's where ideas can be presented and discussed, and questions can be asked. It's sort of a gathering point, from which groups can break off into dedicated projects, and etc.

I would like that just because i have a few questions and suggestions that i'd like to include interested people in, but i don't know where to talk about it. I checked the community portal, but it hasn't been made. I'd volunteer to create an initial page if i had a 'village pump' to link to. :P

As a final note, it can be called anything. "Village pump" en.wikipedia, "Beer parlour" en.wiktionary, "Le Bistro" fr.wikipedia. Probably for this site some clever name of a place that people meet on galactica... "flight deck" or... well i dunno, someone suggest a good idea!

[[User:Fudoreaper|Fudoreaper]] 07:10, 2 October 2005 (EDT)

: I vote for the Combat Information Center or something like that. Or Cloud 9. Something like that. I assume it'd use the Battlestar Wiki namespace or something, so as not to conflict with actual pages. --[[User:Day|Day]] 15:28, 2 October 2005 (EDT)
::I vote Cloud 9. CIC sounds too official and serious. -- [[User:Danaucpe|Danaucpe]] 17:37, October 2, 2005 (EDT)

::: I'm not a Wikipedia editor, so I don't know what the Villiage Punp is normally used for, but I suggested the CIC because it's kind of the nerve center of ''Galactica''. If it's the kind of place that would spin off [[:Category:Project Page|Project Pages]], then maybe it should be a bit serious. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, though. If its more casual and less planning, then I think ''Cloud 9'' would be a great name. Just... thought I'd be more clear. --[[User:Day|Day]] 19:18, 2 October 2005 (EDT)

:::: The village pump is for all kinds of questions/suggestions/talk. Its general-purpose, and no, not very formal. If a discussion starts on the village pump that becomes more formal, the discussion is moved (maybe to a project page or something). The reason i want something like this is so i can make suggestions. :P – [[User:Fudoreaper|Fudoreaper]] 22:51, 5 October 2005 (EDT)

==Timeframes?==

Hi, I've been here a while scoping the place out, and I have a question before I begin editing heavily. :) How long after an episode has aired first-run can we make changes without riling the spoiler-free crowd? (Example: Changing appropriate pages to reflect Adama's changing rank) [[User:Joemc72|Joemc72]] 14:37, 18 January 2006 (EST)

: Please direct your attention to our [[Battlestar Wiki:Spoiler Policy|Spoiler Policy]]. I think it's pretty clear. It's also linked from the main page, in case you don't want to keep coming here when you want to look at it. ;) --[[User:Day|Day]] 15:33, 18 January 2006 (EST)
:: I did notice it, and will abide by it. Please excuse my obvious buffoonery. :) [[User:Joemc72|Joemc72]] 15:39, 18 January 2006 (EST)

::: No worries. There's not hard in pointing new folks to various of our important, non-article pages. Sometimes they're hard to find. I was just giving you a bit of a hard time. Welcome aboard. --[[User:Day|Day]] 15:55, 18 January 2006 (EST)

==Community Portal Content==
Looking at Wikipedia for an example, their [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Community Portal|community portal]] has these sections:
* To do
* Active collaborations
* Ongoing projects
* About Wikipedia
* Help
* Resources
It starts out with links to the village pump, but most of the page has to do with group projects. I like the Active collaborations section. It would be nice to have a way to focus attention on articles that need help. Cylons (RDM) (and TOS for that matter) would be a good candidate for something like that. Resources would be a good way to give the Standards and Conventions some more visibility (outside Spencerian's welcome message). We have several Ongoing projects that could use attention (other than their spot in the sidebar, I suppose). Anyhow, not all of these sections might be relevent to the BattleWiki, but I thought this might at least get the ball rolling on some ideas. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:01, 31 January 2006 (EST)

: I would like to get the "[[Battlestar Wiki:Quality Articles|Quality Article]]" idea started up as well... The Community Portal would be a good place to discuss which article needs to be worked on via a collaboration to achive a QA status. Anyone else have any other cool or wonderful ideas? -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 10:54, 31 January 2006 (EST)

::I have some thoughts on the Quality Article thing, but not a lot of time to post until this weekend. Don't let me forget about it. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 11:42, 31 January 2006 (EST)

::: Under the Official Cast & Crew Sites, perhaps add Tricia Helfer's site to the list? [[User:Northtwilight|Northtwilight]] 08:36, 10 May 2006 (CDT)

::::Feel free to add it to the links area of the community portal (just click the "edit" button under whichever section it belongs). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 08:58, 10 May 2006 (CDT)

==How to make a good Wikiportal==
I found the following [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Portal#How to make a good Wikiportal|here]]:
 
"Most Wikiportals contain the following for readers:
* A featured article and/or picture
* Links into the main category for the topic and possibly subcategories (some portals actually appear in the description page for the main category)
* General info about the subject, or links thereto
* Links to other portals (using templates)

...and for editors:
* Links to related WikiProjects.
* Links to specific articles or tasks
* Collaboration of the week, month, etc.

You may want to embark on an effort to fill the related categories with appropriate articles if this has not been done already (or add it to the portal's "todo" list so visitors can help out)."

Just some more content ideas. (It mentions featured articles, which very much jives with Joe's suggestion above). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:45, 31 January 2006 (EST)

== Bug report ==
I'm posting this here because I can't find any counterpart to [[w:Wikipedia:Bug reports|Wikipedia:Bug reports]]. Recently, all pages on the wiki have had a large amount of visible debug text enclosed with <nowiki></nowiki> at the bottom of them when viewed in [[w:K-Meleon|K-Meleon]] while logged in. -- [[User:Gordon Ecker|Gordon Ecker]] 05:29, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

== Concerning: Battlestar Wiki at Netflix ==

This is a briefer on keeping site directives inline with canon. I have foreword that Netflix has API plugins for user groups and commercial sites seeking to use its servers to download or rent movies and episodes. Certainly this option is a valuable one and the implications are endless.

I will update this briefer to see if any positive feedback has been returned.

Good look out

== Change the site over... ==

Hey Joe, sorry if im being an annoyance, but I am concerned about the Battlestar Pegasus site:

I was wondering what you meant by this. I know I am one of the few users who uses it, but I have put alot of time and energy into the articles, ship files, character files, corporation files, and soon some technology files, AND my fanfiction as well. I would hate to see this go, and I am just wondering what your position on this is, and I just want to touch base with you on this.

Thanks,

I think my last question several months ago was overlooked. I would like to know what is to become of the Battlestar Pegasus site. I have put weeks of my time into writing a fan fiction on that website, not including all of the ship files, corporation files and other pages I have created. I hope this site does not have to go for good, but if it does, at least allow me to retrieve my works from it.

Replies are appreciated. Thanks.

--[[User:Mercer|Mercer]] 13:33, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

: I'd need to speak to Shane, who backed up all the files and database for the website when we relocated servers. It's not been a priority to put up the website for us, because of the things that have happened these past few months. (Shane's working on a corporate project, and I'm juggling several endeavors myself—all of which pay our bills.) I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, and I understand that you spent time working on everything... but there have been more pressing matters, such as the upkeep of the Wiki, which takes precedence over BSP, as the Wiki ''is'' our flagship site.

Some pages have a chaotic design when printed. {{unsigned|Ergasto}}

: Hi Ergasto! Thank you for the praise, as well as your question! To answer that question, we will be rolling out a better printer script into the wiki, so that it better formats the pages. That might take a week or so, depending on my work schedule and commitments, however. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 19:44, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

== Idea: Battlestar Wiki's [[w:Wikipedia:Facebook directory|Facebook directory]]? ==

Copying an idea from Wikipedia, anyone for having a "Facebook" directory like this: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Facebook_directory Wikipedia:Facebook directory]? It could encourage users whose pages are simply marked "userpage" to personalize them. Then again, we already have a Facebook presence so this could just be needlessly redundant. Thoughts?--[[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 14:05, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

== War Of The Gods Part II - the cloven hoof and the novelization ==

Hi Folks, I was looking up the war of the gods part 2 info and i saw the info about the cloven hoof being seen by Apollo and Starbuck when they look into the crashed ship. I was always mad that we never got to see it on the show or in a deleted scene but this past summer i found the novelization of War of the Gods at a flea market and it made mention that the body that Apollo and Starbuck saw had a prehensile tail and legs that ended in cloven hooves.
Just thought I would pass it along.

The Big Frak {{unsigned|The Big Frak}}

In a listing of Battlestars in the old series that were present at the "peace" conference, the Acropolis needs to be deleted and the Solaria put in its place. The Battlestars present were: Galactica, Atlantia, Columbia, Pacifica and Solaria. The Battlestar Solaria was the last Battlestar destroyed at the peace conference. It is refrenced in both the book and the pilot. I tried to update the list of Battlestars, but was unable to do so. {{unsigned|Solaria}}

== Theatrical Movie ==

Back in 2009 it was reported that Bryan Singer was working on a theatrical movie, apparently based on his revival script from like a decade ago. I haven't heard any information since then, but as of June 2011 both Wiki and IMDb list it as a going concern. I was a little surprised you guys don't have a category for that, and I could't find any information in a search. Does anyone here know anything about this? Is it *really* still a going concern? {{unsigned|Republibot 3.0}}

: Rumors of a BSG movie are really nothing more than a bunch of people blowing hot air. I have it on very good authority that the movie will never happen, as frankly Glen Larson is viewed in a negative light and, therefore, no one wants to deal with him. (Glen Larson is the only one with the movie rights, and so would have more involvement in — and full creative control of — any movie production.) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 10:18, 4 June 2011 (EDT)

== Any plans for SSL ==

I find it bothering to login to this wiki from public hotspots and university campuses without SSL. Any plans for implementing SSL at least for logins. I know that it involves purchasing certificates and all (by the way I think some vendors are giving certificates for free.), but security a must in these times. And I don't see any means of reclaiming ones account, once its compromised. [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 03:14, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

== Lots of spamming activity. ==

Looking at recent changes its clearly visible that there has been a lot of specifically targeted spamming attack on this wiki. And due to that, the recent changes page is flooded with all the spam posts and then the blocks. It actually becomes difficult to see the changes of articles going on. Are there any particular attempts to stop this. [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 05:33, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

:Since anons are not allowed to edit pages, spammers are forced to create accounts to do their bidding. (Have you noticed the kind of usernames being created, they usually are names from common word lists and 2 to 4 digits of numbers appended, this probably means that this is not done manually, but is scripted. And this makes me believe that ReCapcha is broken.) I have also noticed that the chiefs here are pretty quick in blocking these spamming accounts, but isn't it a better idea to also block the IP from which the account was created, so they just wont continue with creating more accounts. The new users log is just filled with all these kinds of accounts. [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 05:39, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

:: This is nothing new. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as banning the IP addresses — those are banned as well, in addition to usernames of the spammers — since they simply use another computer at another IP address. Also, many of the successful spammers are apparently actual users (i.e. human beings and not bots), and thus they circumvent the captchas by actually solving them. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 09:24, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

:::Well, you may be speaking based on your observation of the Check IP logs. But don't you think something needs to be done about this. This has been going on for years. And it looks like a targeted attack specifically at this wiki. [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 05:22, 11 August 2011 (EDT)

:::: Sad thing is that there is very little you can do about it. Fact of the matter is that this happens to all the major wikis. Wikipedia has always had this problem, same with Memory-Alpha, et al. There's actualy very little we can do to inhibit the activity — that is to say, without making it extremely difficult for new, actual users to lend their hand in contributing to the Wiki. Believe me when I say that we've talked about this internally for years, and really the only way to "stop" the manual spammers is to become draconian and extremely restrictive — which would harm ourselves in the long run, by losing people who would contribute. So, as long as we're on top of spammers, we're good. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 14:04, 11 August 2011 (EDT)

Given that while they are [http://galactica1981.tripod.com/Best.htm published] they're still considered [[fan fiction]], should we take the content from the TOS alternate articles to form Fan fiction/ articles?

== How to add script names to the 'Original Series and Galactica 1980 Unproduced Episode List' ==

I would like to add the following script names to the 'Original Series and Galactica 1980 Unproduced Episode List' which appears at the bottom of the page of each unproduced episode entry. For the original series, add Saga of a Star World (early draft) and for Galactica 1980, add Galactica Discovers Earth (early draft), Earthquake, A Flight For Life, The Money Machine, and the Battle of Troy.

I've been trying to do this for awhile now without success. {{unsigned|Galactica1981}}

: OK, I fixed an error in the template that prevented easy editing. Basically, if you haven't seen it already, you click on the "e" in the lower right hand corner of the template and that should bring you directly to the editing page.

== What does 'Purge' do? ==

What does the 'Purge' option at the top of the page do? {{unsigned|Galactica1981}}

: Basically, purge just calls the database (where the actual content is stored) and makes sure that the page is presenting the most recent version stored.

:: I prefer the second format, since it clearly tells me that the info is from an in universe newspaper, and not from an series episode or something. Also, I would like to say that all those articles from [[The Caprican]] look kind of weird when they are directly in the mainspace of the wiki. What about prefixing all those pages with something like "The Caprican:". Just an idea. -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 02:38, 22 January 2012 (EST)

::: Wilco. And I see what you mean CylonU87, but I feel like it'll make those articles longer than they'd need to be i.e. [[The Caprican/Travel Agency Gets More Than It Bargained For After Group Marriage Wins Sweepstakes]] and the articles already speak for themselves. Thanks for the idea though.--[[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 11:36, 22 January 2012 (EST)

== Long Pages. ==

Some pages have become really long recently. See: [[Special:LongPages]]. I think some of them can be split to make them smaller.

I recommend splitting the [[‎List of Deleted Scenes (TOS)]] into multiple articles as follows. For example, the deleted scenes related to episode Saga of a Star World will be under Saga of a Star World/Deleted Scenes. Just like how the Razor article was pruned to allow less advanced browsers to load it with little performance loss.

Then regarding the article called ‎[[Humor (1980)]], there is a lot of redundant information. For example the summaries at [[Humor (1980)#British writer Matthew Wharmby's Hilarious Galactica 1980 Episode Summaries]] are present in two locations. See: [[The Super Scouts, Part I#British writer Matthew Wharmby's Humorous Summary]], [[Spaceball#British writer Matthew Wharmby's Humorous Summary]] and [[The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I#British writer Matthew Wharmby's Humorous Summary]] to know what I am talking about. Its pointless to have redundant text in two locations. It creates problems of information integrity when one of them is modified and the other isn't. I would recommend spiting the [[Humor (1980)]] article and moving the interviews to the Sources: namespace (see [[Category:Interview]]).

And all these great contributions are by [[User:Galactica1981|Galactica1981]], I think someone (Joe) needs to explain him why adding redundant information in more than one place is a bad idea, so that he/she does not do it again. This user has been a great contributor, that's why.

So, Once we come to a consensus on what to do I can help make the changes. -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 02:58, 22 January 2012 (EST)

:I agree on all fronts ([[User:Galactica1981|Galactica1981]] is a great and valued contributor) but I kinda miss the point of the Humor articles themselves on the basis of [[Battlestar Wiki:What Battlestar Wiki is not|What Battlestar Wiki is not]] (soapbox, personal web/image host). I could copy and paste every BSG fiver (short parody) from [http://www.fiveminute.net Five-Minute Voyager] in that case but it would make for an awkwardly long article. I could see constructive articles written about the varying types/tones of humor between the Original and Re-imagined Series (I proposed an [http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Battlestar_Wiki:Chiefs%27_noticeboard/Archive6#Humor_in_Battlestar_Galactica idea similar to this about four years ago]), but some of the stuff on there would be better suited as an entry on [[References to the Original Series]], i.e. the ''MAD Magazine'' parody, or [[References to Galactica 1980]], as the filk band ([[w:Ookla the Mok (band)|Ookla the Mok]]) reference.

:On the reviews, I'm fine with their being relegated to userspace but on the wiki itself I think it goes against the Battlestar Wiki's [[Battlestar Wiki:Neutral point of view|Neutral Point of View]] policy unless we start giving Reception sections to every article, i.e. linking to ''[[w:The A.V. Club|The A.V. Club]]'', ''[[w:io9|io9]]'', or ''[[w:Locus Online|Locus Online]]''.--[[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 12:02, 22 January 2012 (EST)

Can someone go through here and edit the information that reveals details not known to the first time viewer? I am mainly talking about revealing the identities of Cylons. I just finished watching Hero and was reading the page about the episode when it is revealed that Chief Tyrol is a cylon. Come on! Really? How is that piece of information necessary on the Hero page? It is not the first time that the identities of the Final Five have been given away. The season three pages are full of things like this. {{unsigned|EN500}}

: I've gone through and hidden those parts. There may be need for a review at a later date, when resources and time permit. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 19:27, 19 July 2012 (EDT)

:: Thanks very much. It is nice knowing that someone is monitoring this site. Like I said, there are other spoilers that I have come across such as the line "This episode marks the supposed death of Ellen Tigh. However its later revealed...." and "This episode and "Precipice" are the only ones in which all twelve humanoid Cylons appear." Both of these comments appear on the Exodus Part II page. {{unsigned|EN500}}

== All New Accounts must be Confirmed First ==

Just letting everyone know that I've implemented the "Confirm Account" feature, so that should stop spammers from causing problems. We'll have to watch the [[Special:ConfirmAccounts]] page and clear it out that way, but that's simpler than what's being done now, and it should allow the RecentChanges page to look a lot less cluttered. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 21:15, 18 December 2012 (EST)

== References ==

Hello, I've been off for nearly four years since my last edit in mid-April 2009, because of college and university studies, so I can't be here at Battlestar Wiki 24/7. Now, I'm in a semester break. Lately, I've started replacing the older <nowiki><references/></nowiki> and <nowiki><div style="font-size:85%"><references/></div></nowiki> tags in most articles with the newer <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Reflist|reflist]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> tag I created. This not only makes it very consistent in all articles, but also open up for potential future reference-cleaning edits by other editors to reduce clutter through list-defined references and fixing bare URLs. I got my JavaScript reference cleaning function ready.

It is my intention to make the articles in this wiki to be more readable to all visitors by moving references to the end. I assure you that my edits related to references will not introduce no scrolling lists of any kind. Any editor is welcome to help. Thanks. -- [[User:Starkiller|Starkiller]] | [[User talk:Starkiller|reply here]] 13:40, 10 January 2013 (EST)

== Banning policy update on the user and user talk pages on a ban ==

I got to a point where banned editors' user and user talk pages must be updated with a notice of the ban when it is enacted, linking to any applicable discussion or decision-making pages. The purpose of this notice is to announce the ban to editors encountering the banned editor's edits, such as those spammers I encountered. The notice of the ban I created is there: <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Banned user]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>. I feel that this must go to the [[Battlestar Wiki:Banning policy|banning policy]] of Battlestar Wiki. -- [[User:Starkiller|Starkiller]] | [[User talk:Starkiller|reply here]] 10:22, 23 January 2013 (EST)

I was trying to remember the phrase Lt. Boomer said when he yelled out to the 2 thieves that stole the Energizer from him and Starbuck in the episode : " The Magnificent Warriors" . I think the he said " you bunch of crassidies " ?

== Request for becoming a chief? ==

* [[User:Starkiller|Starkiller]] | [[User talk:Starkiller|reply here]]

Since 2006, I've been playing a number a larger role in improving this Wiki. In 2008, the [[:ms:|Malay version]] was launched. In 2013, I helped the Wiki in the creation of the <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Reflist|Reflist]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> template. I will like to become a Chief (Administrator) to maintain consistency with [[:ms:Pengguna:Starkiller|my account]] on the Malay version. Perhaps I will watch the integrity of the Wiki to protect it from vandals and trolls.

{{newsection link}}

== Title ==

Is there any particular reason the title is "Blood and Chrome" with "Blood & Chrome" as a redirect? All press information has used "Blood & Chrome" as the spelling, which says to me that it should be the other way around. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 17:54, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

: The ampersand is a bit of a technical issue in the URL, which is why we're using "Blood and Chrome" for right now. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 18:04, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

:: Ah. I hope that it gets fixed. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 05:24, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

== Placeholder image? ==

Until the powers that be release a title card or promotional photo for ''Blood and Chrome'', could we use the [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005]] closeup as a placeholder? The image seems to be generic enough to represent any Cylon War-era story. More importantly, we need something for the "Next Aired Episode" box on the main page. -- [[User:BlueResistance|BlueResistance]] 12:58, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

: That works. ;-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 13:15, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

:: Actually, having thought about it, it would probably suit us to use one of the production art images that are available online. Even if they're just rough art, it's more representative of the production than the Cylon Centurion from "Razor." -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 20:54, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

We don't have a tag for Blood & Chrome, yet, do we? What's it gonna be? BAC? -- [[User:Pedda|Pedda]] 17:32, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

::::::So BAC it is? -- [[User:Pedda|Pedda]] 23:46, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::::Yes, BAC it is. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 00:12, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
::::::::Does the ampersand issue still arise if you use the code (I forget what it is, I think it's the HTML code) for it? Just curious... I haven't heard of wiki's having issues with this (but then you all may be doing something different here).

==Character Names==
I am not exactly sure which source was used (to list names on this wiki), but I read an article a few minutes ago, and it said that [[Lili Bordan]]'s character is ''Beka'' Kelly (As opposed to Becca). While I know that wiki's tend to have users "be bold" I thought I would mention this in case "Becca" was confirmed through a more official source. --[[User:Typhoeus|Typhoeus]] 20:14, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

== Summary ==

Will you make a new page called "Blood and Chrome (Pilot)" or simply write the plot into the Plot area of this page? --[[User:Enabran|Enabran]] 16:17, 20 December 2012 (EST)

: I guess the best way to do it would be, to rename the current page at [[Blood and Chrome]] to [[Blood and Chrome (series)]]. And have a new page for the pilot at [[Blood and Chrome (pilot)]]. -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 00:33, 21 December 2012 (EST)

== Military Ranks ==

Just a few concluding remarks I don't blame you for what you did, where I in your position I would have done the same thing. The reason I didn't respond to Serenity's first post was because until yesterday I had been unable to figure out how. As far as fear of retribution, I've never really been involved with a wiki before so I wasn't really sure what to expect and was kind of intimidated. I appreciate you're addressing my issues. Not only did it help me understand why things were happening the way they were, but it also made me feel like my input was welcome and that was all I was asking for. I am anxious to see any clarification you can offer in the weeks ahead because I find this a rather fascinating topic.

Thanks again for the clarification. {{unsigned|Grandmaester314}}

== Dynamic Page List ==

Hi, I just checked all feature about BW and I didn't see the Dynamic Page List feature. Do you plan one day to install it because it's very useful?--[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 20:32, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

=== Examples ===

Here are some examples I made for the Stargate Wiki FR:

* To see minor characters:
** [http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:LigneMineurs Automatic generation of a line with five stamps] using DPL with entry of the series, the season, and the first article sorted.
** [http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Portail:Personnages_Universe/Mineurs/Saison_Un/Page_1 Automatic generation of minor characters for the first page] with automatic sort by last name
**[http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Portail:Personnages_Universe/Mineurs/Saison_Un Automatic creation of minor character stamps page links] with automatic image update and automatic update of the first and the last character name of this page.
* To see objects:
** [http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:Ligne Automatic generation of a line]. All you juste have to do is to put the correct category.
** [http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Portail:Armes Autogeneration of a page] with the famous lines.
* To resume objects in a bottom navigation bar:
** [http://fr.stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:Divers Nav bar] automaticaly updated (put the right category)

All you have to do with this kind or templates is to put the right category and DPL (with a purge) will do the rest. The main purpose of DPL is to avoid editing when the database can do the stuff for you. You don't have to edit an article or a template to update with new article of the same category. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 08:28, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

== What about RFA and RFB for French BW ? ==

Hi Joe,

I'm on the verge to edit the policy for the french version of [[BW:RFA|Request for Admninship]] and [[BW:RFB|Request for Bureaucratship]]. I need your help for this two policies.
# Do I just translate the English version with the same vote system than the main site?
# Do I have to do it in another way?
# Is the principle of request the same than the main site?
Thanks for answering.--[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 11:25, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

: If you have any suggestions as to improve the policies in question, then that would work well. Until the French wiki has more contributors, I don't think the RFA and RFB are really going to work all that well, and so administrators are promoted on a case-by-case basis as determined by you, me, and Shane. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 13:10, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

:: Until I design or translate all the templates needed and the main page, I think there will not be a lot of contributors. The main problem is the lack of French and French-speaking people who speak English fluently. French people are not very confortable with English, so it's very difficult for them to contribute unless they have seen the show and are fans. With your agreement, I will just create one page for RFA and RFB with the statement you said above (Shane, you and me). FYI, all the episodes of the [[Re-Imagined Series]] have been aired in France, and have been released in DVD format (I just saw the Season 4 Part 2 Set yesterday in a supermarket) . --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 14:22, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

It is certainly appreciated! :D -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 15:21, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

== Advertising and problem on media repository ==

Hi Joe and Happy New Year, 
As I already said to Shan, I can see that you succeed to bring back the wiki. Congratulations. I have two point to ask.
# I made a donation for the wiki to avoid advertising but I still have them on the screen, why? Thank you for your answer.
# On the media repository, I tried to upload an image. It is actually somewhere in the directory but the sofware is unable to create a thumbnail. It says that it cannot find the "convert" file on the server. So for now, it's impossible to add new images on the media repository.
Thanks for your answer. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 15:48, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

: Happy New Year to you too! :D
: Anyway, I went ahead and upgraded your account to sponsor status, so you shouldn't see the ads. If you do, try logging in and out again. If that doesn't work, a hard refresh should clear the cache. As for the convert issue, I'll have Shane look into it. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 15:55, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

1. It seems that [[:fr:User:InterBot|InterBot]] doesn't work because the interwiki link I made on the pages I created aren't duplicated on the other wikis. 
2. I don't have access to [http://www.battlestarpegasus.com/ BS Pegasus] either. It says it's forbidden. Is there any problem since the server transfer or something? 
Thanks for your answer. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 21:41, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

: 1. Shane needs to reprogram the InterBot. He hasn't had time to do that as he's been working on projects for Best Buy.

== Calendar dates on auction items ==

Hi Joe,

I expanded the [[Colonial calendar#Different Dating Methods]] section with information from a couple of auction items and noticed in the process that you wrote at least some of the blog entries at battlestarprops.com. Do you recall seeing any calendar items I haven't mentioned yet, and if so, could you point me to their pictures? It would also be nice to see a higher resolution scan of Socrata's medal of valor document, if one is available.

: I honestly never really paid all that much attention to the dating thing, since it was all made up anyway. (''Star Trek'''s "stardate" system is a very good example of this, actually. It isn't until they did TNG that they really put thought into it.) There is very little consistency behind the dating on any of the paperwork; in television production, much of it is thrown together—some of it even at the very last minute—even taking into account the quality of BSG's paperwork being higher than other genre television series. It isn't until ''Caprica'' that they really tried to address the issue of the Colonial dating method, because it's simply not natural not to have characters ''not'' say "Hey Lacy, meet me for lunch on Saturday."

: As for photos of the stuff, the [http://archive.propworx.com Propworx archive] has photos of everything that's been auctioned through Propworx. I also know of a few fans who have won many paperwork documents from the BSG auctions (both live and via eBay) that have taken the time to scan them, but most of their work is on private boards and some prop replication communities. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 02:34, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. The scans on that site have a much higher resolution and I already found a couple of items with supposed dates. I would like to document them in the article primarily to establish that there was no real system in the re-imagined series as opposed to ''Caprica''. Such random alphanumerics also suggest to the reader that the dates in Adama's dossier need not be correct necessarily (e.g. the year 20000+). -- [[User:Graf Iblis|Graf Iblis]] 18:16, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

== "pos" extended parser function ==

Hi Joe, I would like to ask if it is possible to add the "'''''pos'''''" Parser Function into the wiki, this will allow to do some research more easily (for example to do an action on pages with a certain text and not on the others). Thanks for your answer. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 12:57, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it was a real question : how could the pegasus avoid further contamination by the Cylon virus. Is this answered in future episodes ?

Why did you simply remove my question ?

== Jupiter-class battlestar issue ==

I have a problem with your edit of my edit on the Jupiter class battlestar Galactica. The book I refered to is canon since it was written by the science advisor to BSG and sactioned by SyFy and Ron Moore. If yoiu prefer your wiki not to contain official information then that is fine and I will not bother to add any other information to your site. I will rely solely on official material such as this book. Cancel my membersip please.
Good Bye. {{unsigned|Lonewriter}}

: Please refer to [[BW:CITE#Acceptable_Sources|Acceptable Sources]], which list the sources of what makes something canon. Just because there is an error in a book sanctioned by Syfy Channel, does not mean it is automatically canon. As I've only started reading the book, I've already noticed errors (mostly with spelling, such as Cally's name), that raises a few doubts in my mind when it comes to how thoroughly the book was copyedited.

: As I believe I had explained, the episode that the writers of the book refer to ("Pegasus") does ''not'' make mention of ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> class. ''At all.'' So, they made a mistake, or improperly cited the source. (Now, if it came from the script for that episode, I can see that. We've used scripts as sources before.)

: Now, if Ron Moore or David Eick were to come out and say "well, they're right, ''Galactica'' is a ''Jupiter'' class" then we will certainly note that, and cite that it came from them. Furthermore, maybe I wasn't clear, but I'm not saying that we should throw out the reference at all, but '''it needs to be pointed out that the way the information is present is in ''direct contradiction to what viewers saw on screen.'''''

: Believe me, were this information aired in "Pegasus" fans would have eaten that up, just like they (we) ate up the whole ''Mercury'' class reference that Adama made before Cain boarded the ship. :)

: Now, as to your immature comment, it does suggest that you probably wouldn't be a good editor here, because you don't seem to understand how to critically analyze information, or the necessity of viewing all information with a critical eye. That's fine. There are people who simply don't have that ability. There's nothing wrong with that. Also, you don't have to use the site, at all. I hate to be disingenuous and brusque, but if you're going to use appeals to emotion instead of actually bothering to do the research (which I, and many, many fans have done over the past five-plus years) then you're welcome to leave and never look back.

: However, let me be particularly clear when I say this: what I have done is pointed out this error, which you've brought to our attention, so thank you for that. Now, if you want to act like a prima donna and storm off in a huff, then that's your call. You're more than welcome to stay, or you are more than welcome to leave.

== William Adama edits ==

I seem to find the spoiler tag formatting (I edit on wikipedia but we have nothing similar there) so I'm just going to be as vague as I can be and hope you understand. While reading over the spoilered info on William Adama's page that you recently added I realized that you have a character connection slightly off. If you check my edit history, you'll see I made a similar change on a related page. Hope that's enough for you to see what I meant (since I can't edit the Old Man's page).

== Duram's files at Propworx ==

Hi Joe,

Have you preserved alternate photographs of Duram's files which are now on eBay? The available photo makes Clarice's file halfway legible, but I'm curious what's in Amanda's and other files. I'm not planning on buying them though, since I'm only interested in the information, not in provenance. Even so, thanks for participating in the auctions — the photos have provided so much useful information that would've normally disappeared with the shows. -- [[User:Graf Iblis|Graf Iblis]] 22:10, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

: I'd have to ask Jarrod, since he's the one who oversees the Caprica auction stuff out in LA.

What does putting the ref in break? I don't see anything unusual except that the 33 has to be bracketed to be a link. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 22:47, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

: Issue is that the brackets are printed out, and they really shouldn't be. I guess I'll have to modify the infobox template to deal with that.

Hello would you like this wiki to affiliate with my independent wiki http://stargate-wiki.org/ ? [[User:Escyos|Escyos]] 23:38, 25 May 2011 (EDT)

Not sure if you got my email or not, anyway, would you prefer to join the SIWA Network (Scifi independent wiki alliance)? http://siwanetwork.webs.com Basically just lets more people interlink with these wikis and its always good to have more links to your site laying around. It costs nothing and we dont really ask for anything in return. [[User:Escyos|Escyos]] 06:35, 4 June 2011 (EDT)

: Thank you for the offer, but I will decline. I really see no benefit for this wiki and its contributors in being a part of the SIWA Network. In fact, I feel that our inclusion would only be beneficial for you, seeing as we have a wide exposure. We've run into loose fan organizations like SIWA before, and frankly they are not worth the bandwidth that it takes to pull up the webpage. Our experience is that such things are not professionally run and are basically glorified fly-by-night operations operated by unprofessional, doe-eyed fans with unrealistic expectations. Nothing personal against you, it is just our experience. And, as for traffic and links, we've found that being a part of a glorified "webring" has no return on investiment. A majority of new traffic has always, and without fail, come from two sources: 1) word-of-mouth (forums and social networks), and 2) search engines. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 10:25, 4 June 2011 (EDT)

I had 22 new visitors to my site because of SIWA. Your loss i guess. Also it really doesn't make it less offensive when you call me: unprofessional, doe-eyed fan with unrealistic expectations then say no offence. Even you should see that. Well if you change your mind, let me know. [[User:Escyos|Escyos]] 11:56, 4 June 2011 (EDT)

: And how many of those 22 people will stick around and contribute in the long-haul? Since there are so many Stargate wikis out there, those results aren't surprising... and, don't get your hopes up, as they will be short lived. Traffic from web rings and "alliances" is short-lived, and with extremely poor to negligible long-term ROI. I've been running websites for the last 15 years, so I am well aware of what I'm taking about.

: Furthermore, I was not making a personal attack against you: I was making a general observation about such organizations. However, since you are keen to make it about yourself: given your behavior in the past towards another member of this website (and bringing problems from an outside wiki to this Wiki directly and without provocation from us), I find ''that'' unprofessional. End of subject. Thank you for the offer, and have a splendid day. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 12:16, 4 June 2011 (EDT)

Wow, take it overboard much. I was going to link certain articles like actors other work here etc but because of that attitude, you can forget it [[User:Escyos|Escyos]] 12:21, 4 June 2011 (EDT)

: Your attitude and sour disposition are the problems here. After all, you were the one who [[User_talk:LIMAFOX76|brought outside problems from another website to this one]]. ''You'' initiated it here. ''You'' deliberately sought the user in question, tracked them to this website, and brought ''your'' problems to an open forum instead of taking it up with the user via e-mail. ''You'' involved us, and ''I'' put a stop to it. I have no ill will towards you personally, but your immature behavior here and your inability to properly deal with issues in a mature manner exemplifies why we are careful in associating with other organizations and websites.

== Not sure this is a gaffe ==

[[He_That_Believeth_In_Me#Gaffes]] contains this final paragraph, which I think should be deleted:
:Tracey tells Baltar prior to their intercourse that the door to the group's hideout is locked and that only the two of them are in the room, but when Jeanne returns with Derrick, she is able to reenter even though both Tracey and Baltar are still asleep (presumably she said this to put Baltar more at ease).
Saying that a door is locked does not preclude the possibility of others entering. A locked door can be unlocked. Other doors on Galactica are locked with keypads (like the one rigged to blow up Romo Lampkin), and there is no reason to think Jeanne would not have the entry code. [[User:Dogger55|Dogger55]] 16:12, 11 July 2011 (EDT)

:: Many of Galactica's hatches are lockable only from one side, not both. Further, only small arms lockers and other sensitive areas have keypads. Not every door has one.

:::I wasn't sure; that's why I wrote instead of deleting or changing. However, I went back and took a closer look. When Baltar first arrives at his new home (10:45), they knock to gain entry and the door is unlocked from the inside. You see a wheel for bolting/unbolting the door on the outside and on the inside. Around 14:30, you hear the door close and the bolt turn when Paula and Jeanne leave, and no other such sounds from then until Tracey "makes her move" on Baltar and agrees that the door is locked. It seems to me that whatever means they used to secure it, the door could be locked & unlocked from either side, and was clearly locked from the outside until the time Jeanne returned.

Theres a user that needs banning on the simple wiki - "oakley brand" [[User:Escyos|Escyos]] 21:40, 15 July 2011 (EDT)

== Operational costs. ==

I am really curious on how you are able to keep this wiki running, with only source of revenue being a few paying members, AdSense, AdBrite, and a few affiliations with Amazon and other stores. I mean I just see two ads per page, one on the top header, and one on the sidebar. [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 10:15, 14 August 2011 (EDT)

: Actually, we're able to cover all of our monthly costs with these revenue sources. It's just finding that balance that was the issue. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 17:25, 14 August 2011 (EDT)

: It also helps to dominate the search results when it comes to anything BSG related. Advertisers really love that kind of thing. ;-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 17:26, 14 August 2011 (EDT)

:: Really. Its kind of hard to believe. I am <s>amusing</s> assuming that, the only way this is working out is, your CPM for ads is a really high figure. Unfortunately the forum doesn't rank high in search rankings. Any plans of getting rid of the ancient vBulliten for something more SEO friendly like vanilla forums. If required I can be of some technical help. [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 14:45, 15 August 2011 (EDT)

::: We've never made money from the forum, so that never factored much into it anyway. Thanks for the offer, but vBulletin has more than enough features that we need and vanilla forums don't seem to have the features that we need. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 14:55, 15 August 2011 (EDT)

== Article number on main BW portal. ==

Hi Joe, It seems that the [http://www.battlestarwiki.org main BW portal] is not up to date regarding article number on all languages wikis. Is it possible to update it or put an automatic routine to avoid manual updates? --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 12:08, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

: We did have a script that updated the article count, but I would need to talk to Shane about that. Also, I'm thinking we're going to ditch that main portal and come up with something more dynamic. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 12:46, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

== Re-imagined categories ==

Greetings, I have a quick question, I have noticed that there seems to be "duplicate" categories for the re-imagined continuity, "RDM" and "TRS", that seems to be going along with the page renaming. What my question is, are pages supposed to be moved out of "RDM" and placed into "TRS" or something? --[[User:Typhoeus|Typhoeus]] 22:31, 4 September 2011 (EDT)

: Basically, if it's in the "RDM" universe (that means ''Caprica'', ''Blood & Chrome'', ''Re-imagined BSG'') then it's classified as RDM. Otherwise, if it is specific to one show, such as [[Helena Cain]], then it is classified under both "RDM" and "TRS". Originally, we used RDM for just the Re-imagined Series, until the spinoffs/prequels came along. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 23:04, 4 September 2011 (EDT)

== Recent spaming ==

Is it just me, or is there a recent increase in spamming? I am not around as often as I would like, so I am not entirely sure on this. If I could ask, what sort of anti spam features do you have? {{unsigned|Typhoeus}}

: It comes and goes. Basically, these are humans (instead of bots) who are paid to spam, and thus solve the captchas and the like. They have to fill out a captcha when they sign up for an account, and when they add a link in any page (new or established) a captcha will also come up. We have a blacklist for terms and the like, but that's why they come up with crazy titles for the spam pages. We've enabled a variety of anti-spam measures, but that's mostly good against automated bots. IP blocking isn't an option in these cases, as the manual spammers use proxies, and thus change their IP address every time they create a new account and spam. We could go draconian and prevent new accounts from posting, BUT then we make it extremely difficult for new contributors to actually contribute. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 11:31, 7 September 2011 (EDT)

:: Usually, they spam in early Europe morning, when American sleep ;-).--[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 12:51, 7 September 2011 (EDT)

:::: One more acting in USA's end of day ;-)--[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 16:36, 7 September 2011 (EDT)

== Recent spaming (option) ==

With all the recent spamming, I think we should temporarily ban new sign ups for a while. It's just becoming too annoying seeing useless pages. I know you would disagree with the suggestion, but I see it as the only option available. [[User:CoreyDanian|Corey "Shadow" Danian]] 08:58, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

: In my opinion, but I'm not the one who decides for this, It would be a mistake to do so. Yes it's annoying to see all this rubbish but by doing so, we prevent real genuine contributors to sign up and contribute, even if, for the moment there are not so many new real genuine contributors but there is still hope. Even in French Battlestar wiki, some spammers try to pollute the wiki but we are here to prevent this and to clean this wiki. They are more now, but not like Wikipedia, so we can clean quicky. But as I said first, it's just my opinion. Cheers.--[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 09:26, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

: I feel the frustration, and I've even briefly considered this as an option, but I don't see it as a big enough issue to temporarily ban new sign-ups (or run them through a rigorous sign-up process). Spamming has always been an issue on any Wiki, and to lock things down in such a matter would really dissuade genuine contributors from contributing. I know it may not seem like it, but we've always been spammed, and we will continue to be spammed; the volume of spam just seems massive because we're not expanding much in the way of content, like the way we were when the show was airing.

: Further, taking into consideration that most new contributors would not waste their time trying to jump through hoops just to contribute, we would just be shooting ourselves in the foot in the long run. (Actually, it takes only a few minutes to deal with them. Delete their contributions and ban them.) We've been very good about responding to spam in a reasonably timely manner, so I really don't see the need for such draconian measures right now. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 12:42, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

== DISPLAYTITLE activation on the French Wiki ==

Hi Joe, Is it possible please to set the two following parameters in the ''LocalSetting.php'' file?
* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgRestrictDisplayTitle $wgRestrictDisplayTitle] to ''false'';
* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAllowDisplayTitle $wgAllowDisplayTitle] to ''true''.
Reason: allowing permission to see episode titles like the [[:fr:Modèle:ép|<nowiki>{{ép}}</nowiki>]] template. In the same way, can you disable the automatic système which add a caps letter at each word in the title. Thank you very much. Cheers.--[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 12:33, 17 November 2011 (EST)

: I'll activate these on the French wiki here in a bit. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 12:43, 17 November 2011 (EST)

: Activated. I'm very leery of actually deactivating the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCapitalLinks CaptailLinks] feature because of the link breakage it may cause. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 13:32, 17 November 2011 (EST)

:: Weird. It doesn't seem to work (see [[:fr:33 minutes|this page]] with a DISPLAYTITLE). CaptailLinks is about the first captail letter of the title. I'm talking about the others, not the first. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 13:51, 17 November 2011 (EST)

::: Ah, I added quotes around the "false" and "true" variables, and MediaWiki doesn't like that. Should work now. The only thing is that you can't use wiki syntax within the <nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</NOWIKI> code, since it renders the HTML tags as text. (See the "33" page.)

::: Also, the uppercase thing for the first word is a CSS attribute (as I recall) in the style sheet, so I can fix that. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 14:04, 17 November 2011 (EST)

:::: Is it possible to activate the wiki syntax on titles? --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 14:48, 17 November 2011 (EST)

::::: Not that I've seen. You can only change what the title says, not how it is styled. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 15:18, 17 November 2011 (EST)

:::::: I think it's possible, just see the [[w:Template:Italic title|italic title]] template on Wikipedia. It is used especially for feature films and it's using wiki markup. May be it's just a parameter to set. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 15:28, 17 November 2011 (EST)

::::::: I've looked through the template, and it's impossible to do it within the DISPLAYTITLE syntax itself. The italics must be applied on the outside, like so: <nowiki>''{{DISPLAYTITLE}}''</nowiki>. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 15:58, 17 November 2011 (EST)

:::::::: At least, I will be able to put French quotes signe in the title. Yet, there is still First letter caps appearing on each word following the first one. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 16:42, 17 November 2011 (EST)

::::::::: Hi, Joe. I checked again and I think the issue can be resolved by setting the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseTidy $wgUseTidy] parameter to true in LocalSettings.php. Check out if I'm right. Best regards. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 07:43, 23 November 2011 (EST)

== Possible solution against spammers ==

Hi Joe, It seems that we may have a solution against spammers. It is called [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:QuestyCaptcha QuestyCaptcha]. Semantic MediaWiki has used it for two weeks as they were invaded by spammers like us (same username style) and the number of spammers has been largely reduced since the installation. It may be a good solution for BW. What do you think? For instance, I deleted more than 25 spammer for two days in the media repository. Best Regards.--[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 16:14, 26 November 2011 (EST)

:: -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 11:23, 4 February 2012 (EST)

::: Yes. Spamming isn't a new problem on the Wiki; it's one that we've been dealing with on and off since the site's founding in 2005. The issue is that about half the so-called "spam blocking" software doesn't actually work on "manual spammers" — i.e. actual people behind the computer solving captchas and what not. Further, many bot software programs are actually better at circumventing and solving captchas, and so it's really a constant fight to keep up.

::: Also, half the extensions in your list are either beta, outdated (only working with older version of MW), or tend to conflict with other extensions. As I recall, we did have AntiBot running once, but that didn't quite work out well. I'll have to see if that works again after I upgrade the entire system to the 1.18.x series, though. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 12:40, 4 February 2012 (EST)

:::: Hi Joe, I tested [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:QuestyCaptcha QuestyCaptcha] on my English [http://stargate.wikkii.net/ Stargate Wiki] and let my [http://fr.stargate.wikkii.net French one] without. Results: 5 spam attacks in one night for the French one ([http://fr.stargate.wikkii.net/wiki/index.php?title=Sp%C3%A9cial:Modifications_r%C3%A9centes see here]) and none for the English one ([http://stargate.wikkii.net/wiki/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges see here]).

:::::::::: Yes, I haven't been able to get to that though because of my move and work schedule. (Besides, Wiki Frakr is a good control to measure how effective the Questy Captcha is.) As with anything else... there is a downside to using it, but i consider it a litmus test for people who want to contribute... if you really can't be bothered to answer simple questions (or do a Google search to answer them), then what good is getting an user account here? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 11:52, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

:If I read well the [[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project#Articles Needing Translation|translation project]], you'll have to translate first the main policies in Russian.

== Spanish wiki ==

Hello! I'm [[User:Erechel|Erechel]]. You have sended me a message in which you thanked me for editing the spanish wiki, and offered me help.

I think that I'm the only active editor in it, and I've discovered several incongruences and mistakes in the wiki, but my scripting abilities are very limited. I've tried to standardize the templates in all those pages that need them, but some of them are beyond my capacity. I've tried to copy and paste the templates from the english version, and traduce wherever it's necessary, and even create some very simple template messages (stub, disambiguation, traduction in progress), but those with particular data are difficult to me.

The wiki needs some corrections in the templates, particulary {{Datos del episodio}} and {{flags}}, but some revision in the others will do no harm. Well, thank you, and I hope you help me.

Bye

== Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! ==

Greetings, {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Battlestar Wiki! I'm pleased to tell you that you have full editing privileges on every wiki in the Battlestar Wiki network. I hope you enjoy your stay with us and am looking forward to your contributions to the Wiki! Why not begin by telling us a bit about yourself on your own [[User:{{PAGENAME}}|user page]]?

As you may already know, Battlestar Wiki covers all the ''Battlestar Galactica'' series from past to present, in addition to authorized merchandise and [[BW:SEPCON|separate continuity]] materials such as comics and tie-in novels. '''We do not cover fan fiction.''' We're also not a discussion site, although we do have an ever-growing [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum] where people can discuss the various shows and non-BSG topics as well!

To get started on the wiki, we suggest that you check out our [[BW:TUT|tutorial]], experiment in [[BW:SAND|the sandbox]] (a test editing area for those learning wiki code), and review some of our basic [[BW:POL|policies]] (which have important differences from other SF wikis). For some general questions and answers about the navigation and operation of the Wiki, check out the [[Battlestar Wiki:FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] (FAQ).

Of course, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you are more than welcome to bring them up at the [[BW:CN|Chiefs' noticeboard]] (which is frequented by the administrators of the Wiki) and at the [[BW:GQ|Galactipedians' Quorum]] (which is the hub for contributors, who are called "Galactipedians").

Furthermore, if you don't wish to see the ads, then please consider upgrading your account to a [[BW:MEMBERSHIP|paid membership]], which costs only $10 USD a year and helps support the wiki financially. This membership also extends to the [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum], where you can talk to other members about the show and most anything that you want to talk about to BSG fans! We think this is very cool, and we hope you do as well!

Thank you for joining us! Hope to see you soon! -- -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 03:34, 7 August 2012 (EDT)

== Rewrote [[:Council Security]] ==

I did a pretty much total rewrite of [[:Council Security]]. Hope it passes muster. — [[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]] [[[User talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]] [[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|cont]]] ‹(-¿-)› 10:35, 8 February 2008 (CST)
:Looks good in general. Nice details of their appearances. Though we generally write the article bodies themselves from a strictly in-universe perspective and confine real-world references to notes (unless it's an article dealing with an obvious real-world subject of course). -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:45, 8 February 2008 (CST)
::Yeah, I re-read the policy on that last night (after like 3 months); will re-re-write the article so that the real-world stuff is in the Notes section, unless someone has beat me to it. — [[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]] [[[User talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]] [[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|cont]]] ‹(-¿-)› 02:47, 9 February 2008 (CST)
:::I removed it. It was mainly about the comparisons to the US police or Secret Service. The article is fine without that. Saying things like "In episode so and so they did..." is ok if it can't be avoided. Since the article partly deals with their different depiction in various episodes, that's appropriate in this case. So a completely re-write isn't really necessary. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:54, 9 February 2008 (CST)

== "Spoiler follows, highlight to read" ==

Does anybody else find the "highlight to read" style distracting and kind of unprofessional? Why can't we just use a little CSS to make a pop-down spoiler box:

<div class="NavFrame" style="border-style: none; padding: 0px;"><div class="NavHead" style=" text-align: left; padding: 0px;">'''Spoiler follows'''</div><div class="NavContent" style="display: none; text-align: left; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align:left; border: 1px solid #ffffff; padding: 2px; margin-top: 2px;">Adama is a cylon!</div></div></div>

::If it doesn't screw anything up, this would be far better than the highlight thing we have now. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 18:54, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
::::The drop down does not format on lists correct. Like before, it would create a new line and interrupt the list numbers. Also, from our previous discussion on javascript expanding boxes in the middle of episodes pages (which are not at the top), templates that expand huge things of text change the entire format of the page layout when they expand. Images get shifted and it creates an unnesseary new lines that were not there before. It's always 100% width.

OK, the template is created as [[:Template:Spoilerbox]], add it if you like. I'm not going to replace the existing spoilers since... I don't want to be spoiled :) [[User:Evan|Evan]] 07:39, 21 March 2008 (CDT)
:Nice template. Less is more for me on some pages, especially now. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:42, 21 March 2008 (CDT)
::Uh, one question...what's the input format for the template? I can't glean that from the description. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:45, 21 March 2008 (CDT)
:::I've updated the page, but the syntax is {{tlp|spoilerbox|This is a spoiler! Muhahahahha!}}. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 13:55, 21 March 2008 (CDT)
::I like the idea, but I'm not sure it's universally better than the current method... Especially if it will create problems like Shane mentioned. As dumb as it seems, I think the current method does have some advantages: Depending on how someone highlights the spoiler, they can control how much of the spoiler is revealed. Also, people can gauge how much content the spoiler contains just by looking at the amount of unreadable text. --[[User:Galjamspe|Galjamspe]] 00:40, 22 March 2008 (CDT)

== Proposition for new article ==

Hi! Quite new here, and since I don't find a button for creating a new article, I figure I must go through the Quorum?

I'd love it if we could open a small article for adding notice for Caprica Six's unborn baby.
There's no actual article for this person yet, and I have to write my mentions about it, in already existing articles like Gaius Baltar's and Caprica Six's.

Thanks for the attention! {{unsigned|Iniovan}}

: Do we really know anything about the baby enough to write an article? At this point, we just know that Caprica-Six is pregnant and that the father is Saul. Other than that... any analysis on it could probably fit in the episode guides. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 18:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

== Question on editing etiquette ==

Hi,

I'm a newbie here. So this is a question so I can hopefully avoid stepping on anyone's toes. If you see an existing article and wish to add to the information and content, would it always be best to ask the original contributor before doing so? Especially if to do so, I would have to move some items around in the original article.

For example, I want to put in a new reference to supplement the article, however, it would need to go before an existing article, requiring renumbering of all of the references.

I'm just trying to get a feel of what is good editing and bad editing before I put foot in mouth.

thanks!
Jeff Rabb
:In a word, no. In addition to greatly slowing down the ability for the community to keep things up to date, it also ignores the fact that once you hit "save page" your edits become community property. There really isn't an "ownership" of articles, outside of perhaps articles in the "User" namespace. So feel free to [[BW:BOLD|be bold]] and get in those edits. If somebody takes issue with your edits they can either change it back themselves, take it up in the talk page of the article in question, and/or potentially bring it up on your talk page. New references are almost always welcome, as they're the glue that binds this place together. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 23:23, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice!
Jeff

== How Can This Not Be Canonical? ==

On the [[unnamed battlestars]] page, there is section dealing with the [[Berserk Class Escort]]. A notation notes the specific information on this class of ship is non-canonical. Presumably because it comes from the ship designer's own website vs that from one of the sanctioned websites or sources. But the ship WAS used in [[Razor]]. So how can one on one hand use it in the show and on the other hand say that any specific information on it from it's creator is non-canonical simply because TPTB never bothered to put it with a sanctioned source? It either is or isn't in my book. I'm sure this discussion has arisen many times before, but I'd like to find out the final arguement that finally determined why this source, which straddles the line, should be excluded as non-sanctioned? Jeff Rabb
:The ship described on the website is on the show, but canon starts from the aired content and trickles down from there. So while we do see the ship, we aren't given any in-show identification of the ship. Also, there's nothing from the producers on the matter. However... the information coming from "crew" does seem to place it somewhere in category 3 in the [[BW:CITE|source hierarchy]], so it should have some weight (IMO). Anyway, I can see where the note was coming from (in that none of the information about the name of the ship, etc., came from any aired info or from RDM, etc), but I think you've got a decent argument. Given Joe's edit to the article, it appears he at least checked out the source website enough to correct the spelling to match it. Personally, I'd consider replacing the "canon" note and just replace it with a reference pointing to Chu's website. I do have to agree that it's not necessarily a battlestar, and in fact given the escort designation it's likely not a battlestar. Battleships don't "escort" battleships, and likewise with aircraft carriers. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 01:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

== The Caprican - Will We, Won't We ==

Hello all,

Very, very new here. I'm wondering if the contents of the newzine "The Caprican" will be included in info on the Caprica series?

It's been really great to read it, and join in the group that's been posting in character. I wouldn't think that the comments would be included as material, but the actual articles seem like they're going to be good fodder for Colonial life in general.

Thanks!
Glasswalker33

: I think we need to be very clear that whatever is in "The Caprican" isn't necessarily canon. If that's done, I have no qualm about including it, since it is put out officially by the SyFy Channel. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 03:36, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

::As I am new to this website, I was looking for an answer to this question (that, and regarding whether we will include the information from Serge's Twitter account). How should we distinguish it is not "necessarily canon" - a separate non-canon section of a particular article, just note information in the background info./notes or just include it in the main article until it is contradicted? --[[User:JamiLeeD|JamiLeeD]] 23:45, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

:::Everything's been canonical so far, including things first mentioned in The Caprican that appear onscreen days or weeks later. The latest example being Eros Day, which was mentioned in The Caprican a month ago and on the card in "End of Line". -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 23:52, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

::::Also, the rather ominous note about new railings on the Pantheon Bridge appeared weeks ahead of End of Line: http://showblogs.syfy.com/caprican/news/pantheon-bridge-getting-new-safety-measures.php Other things that appeaned in the Caprican before they showed up on the show were Vesta, the terror alert being raised (which was a plot point in End of Line-- it was why they couldn't get Zoebot off-planet for another week), and (if I'm remembering right) v-date. Clearly whoever writes it is involved with the production of the show. -- [[User:Rjinswand|Rjinswand]] 01:46, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

:::::Yes, V-Match first showed up there. Natalie Stark was also first named there, and the concept of a holoband sleeper weeks before it talked about Vesta and New Cap City. Furthermore, Serge and The Caprican's usage of place names and Pyramid facts all agree with each other. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 15:38, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

::::::Any ideas for what how citations should be formatted for: 1. Serge's Twitter account, and 2. ''The Caprican''? - [[User:JamiLeeD|JamiLeeD]] 03:49, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

== Question....Original Series ==

My teacher gave a clue to his laptop password...its "Three that was detroyed" from TOS
can anyone tell me what it means?
I tried D'Anna, Xena, And Six of one, none of the worked {{unsigned|Snarky}}

: "Three that was destroyed..." Hmm... Might be referring to a lot of things, actually. Like "Zac," the third child of Adama's that was killed in the pilot. Could be "Serina" too... I think your teacher needs to be a bit more specific. "Three" of what? Is "three" a specific thing, or does "three" mean a quantity? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 19:29, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

== Color of links to other wikis ==
I'm not quite sure this is the right place to ask this. I find a bit confusing that links to other wikis (e.g. Wikipedia, Memory Alpha) share their color with battlestarwiki links. I think its cool to link to other wikis at times, for example to give real world perspectives on some matters but I'd like to directly know if a link leads me away from this site. Maybe another shade of yellow/orange could be used? -- [[User:Penumbra|Penumbra]] 22:12, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
: Hmm... We could do that. I'd like to get everyone's impression on it though. I might tweet this so we can get some idea of what people think. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 22:17, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Just to illustrate my point (and bring the discussion up again): Most of you are probably aware of this but I think [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Ronald_D._Moore Memory Alpha] is a very good example for what I mean. The color of non-MA links is only slightly darker but it makes it very easy to spot them. -- [[User:Penumbra|Penumbra]] 19:51, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I am very much in support of this, I keep on getting sent to Memory Alpha or wherever when I don't really want to be. -- [[User:Rjinswand|Rjinswand]] 20:49, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

The discussion wasn't very lively, sadly. But do we (=you, Joe) want to make a decission? I'm still very much in favor of this. -- [[User:Penumbra|Penumbra]] 09:21, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

==Citation Links, Templates and...other things==
I have a suggestion for the wiki, I hope this is the right place to put this (The above discussion leads me to believe that it is), but it concerns the citation links to episodes, their placement and formatting. I was thinking that a series of templates would allow the proper formatting this wiki wishes to obtain, while being able to properly link to the intended pages (for instance, having CAP lead to Caprica, instead of a disimbig page). Some others from other wikis may get an idea of what I am trying to suggest (and perhaps it already has been done so). This is not without it's flaws though, most wiki's have found (unless a better system can be put in place, or someone knows what they are doing are far better with wiki coding then I am) that episode pages all need to be moved to "title (episode)" to prevent false/unwanted page/wanted page requests. Basically, the idea here is, when one wants to cite an episode of the reimagined series, they'd have to write <nowiki>([[TRS]]: "[[33]]")</nowiki>, my idea would have them writing out <nowiki>({{TRS|33}})</nowiki>, you'd get the same formatting, but less coding to do, especially if you going to cite multiple episodes. --[[User:Typhoeus|Typhoeus]] 07:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
: Thank you for the suggestion, however it's better to not go the template route for episode citations. First, this would not work for paragraphs where citing multiple episodes—perhaps across multiple series, like TRS & Caprica—would be necessary. Secondly, it's not really a matter of coding, but the number of database calls such a template would do each time the page is viewed—and, frankly, cost of increased database calls is not really worth that. Further, what you're suggesting is actually far more complicated than it has to be, both in terms of programming templates to deal with complex citation situations AND having people do it right the first time. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 14:23, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Alright, if it's going to end up costing more, I guess I can agree that it's not worth it, as for multiple episode citation though, Sorry, I forgot to add in, you'd simply add in another title after "33" as such "33|Title|Title 2" but anyway it doesn't matter, I wasn't aware that it would cause a database call that'd cost this wiki some money. --[[User:Typhoeus|Typhoeus]] 22:24, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
: Yeah, I had figured that too. It's a good idea, or seems to be, until you realize that there are over 4,000 articles that'll probably use the template, compounded by the many thousands of visitors we get on a daily basis... Then, it gets to be a bit of a quagmire. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 22:44, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

== Query regarding suicide bombing in Battlestar Galactica ==

Hi. I'm currently writing an essay on the suicide bombing in the episode occupation. I'm framing it from Bill Adama's perspective looking back on the events of the suicide bombing and trying to debate the moral conundrums that the episode so cleverly draws out. I am going to try and reflect on past events both fictional and within our world now that may have happened in the past. I am intrigued to know whether there is anything in the scriptures of the twelve colonies or in cylon prophecy that mentions martyrdom or the cult of the hero? I was also wondering if you had any more info on how Adama's Mom and Sister died, I know it was a suicide bombing but is there any more specific information on how it happened and why?
Thanks a lot, Joe -- {{unsigned|JoeCarr}}

: There's really nothing in the "Cylon scripture" or the [[Sacred Scrolls]] that tells their readers how to "deal" with "infidels." As for Adama's mom and sister's deaths, they were caused by [[Ben Stark]] of the [[Soldiers of the One]], who have their own aims and goals—as well as their own factions. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 14:55, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

== RDS / TRS ==

Why are articles in the reimagined series that need disambiguation marked "(RDM)" instead of "(TRS)"? I understand where the RDM comes from, but [[Battlestar Galactica (TRS)|the series article itself]] uses TRS and reimagined series episode names in articles are supposed to be prefixed with TRS:, so it would appear that it's been decided that "TRS" is the appropriate series identifier. To use "RDM" in article names would seem to me, quite frankly, to be wrong. [[User:Lexicon|Lexicon]] 22:28, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

: Lexicon, it's a new thing... Before the advent of ''Caprica'', we used "RDM" to disambiguate any articles pertaining to the re-imagined series; "TRS" wasn't used back when we started. In a nutshell, we now use "RDM" to describe anything in the ''universe'' created by the Reimagined Series (including ''Caprica''), whereas "TRS" is used for any subjects depicted solely in the Re-imagined Series (sans ''Caprica''). -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 23:12, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

::Ah. [[User:Lexicon|Lexicon]] 23:23, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

== Episode templates ==

I've created some simple templates like those on Memory Alpha for displaying episode titles with the appropriate prefixes and punctuation. They are:

*<nowiki>{{TRS}}</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{CAP}}</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{1980}}</nowiki>

However, as there's already a <nowiki>{{TOS}}</nowiki> template (which has been a candidate for deletion for some time), I couldn't make that one.

The template can be used by simply putting an episode name after a bar, and can fit up to eight episode names. So <nowiki>{{TRS|Miniseries, Night 1|Miniseries, Night 2}}</nowiki> produces {{TRS|Miniseries, Night 1|Miniseries, Night 2}}. Will these be considered useful? And if so, can we get that other <nowiki>{{TOS}}</nowiki> template gone so we can have a full set? [[User:Lexicon|Lexicon]] 23:45, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

: Not to splash acid on what you've done, but this was [[#Citation Links, Templates and...other things|brought up before]]. Now this is not to remind people that the decision made from that discussion is final (as it isn't), but I think it highlights something that most people do not consider. Feel free to further discuss. :) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 14:36, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

::Any idea what the "cost" of the use of such templates would be? And is there a way to substitute the results of templates instead of having the templates actually called? I thought that that was possible (I'm a regular Wikipedia editor and Admin). Further, are there no bot programmers around who could just whip up a script to crawl the wiki and make all the changes? [[User:Lexicon|Lexicon]] 01:43, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

:::Well, there are more than 4,000 pages that would call the script, and with the average page using roughly 5 of these episode templates per page... it gets to be a bit of a quagmire, as I mentioned before. Now times that by how many visits we get on a daily basis (40 to 50k)... So that's an additional 800,000,000(ish) calls per day—in addition to whatever the other templates (infoboxes and so forth) that each article calls. Now, Shane's done a good job at trying to reduce the server calls (because MW has this annoying habit of calling everything whenever the page is ''loaded'', as opposed to when it is ''updated''). Now our new server has some real power behind it, so I do feel that we could more than handle that... Still, I'm very cautious so I will have to speak to Shane about this, because he knows more about the tech stuff than I do.

:::As for the bot code, Shane wrote (or modified) many of the bots. I spoke to him about that a few weeks ago, and (from what he and I understand) MW changed the way bots work in the 1.15 series. So we'll need to work on that as well, whenever we're not busy working. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 14:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello all,

I've been enjoying the Podcasts as I work my way through this great series (half way through Season 3), though I was sad to see that as of yesterday the Podcasts are no longer hosted on the SyFy website. Does anyone know of another web location where I can download those great podcasts??{{unsigned|Dimsdail}}

== Sacred Scrolls, Book of Pythia ==

Some friends of mine were haveing a disscusion about the Scared Scrolls and when and where they were written. Most say they were written on the Colonies, I say they were written on Kobol then addes to like the New Testement kinda. Also the phrase Life here began out there, same arguement. Does the saying start on Kobol or was it added once the got to the 12 colonies? Any thoughts or views welcome. Thanks, Unca John
