== Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! ==

Greetings, {{PAGENAMEE}}, and welcome to Battlestar Wiki! 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:{{PAGENAMEE}}|user page]]?

As you may already know, Battlestar Wiki covers all the ''Battlestar Galactica'' series from past to present, in addition to authorized merchandise. Presently, we don't cover fan fiction, but our sister-site, [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]], does so. 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. Becoming a member also entitles you to our [[BW:RAFFLE|raffle]], where you can win gift cards, merchandise, and other prizes! We think this is very cool, and we hope you do as well!

Thank you for joining us! Hope to see you soon!

== Ads-Free Update ==

Hey Mouan,

Just to let you know, the guys (Catrope and Shane) have updated our software and you should have ads-free viewing of every Battlestar Wiki language edition now. If this isn't the case, let me know. Thanks! :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 21:17, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks Joe. As I already posted on the Chief's Board, it works fine :) -- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 21:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

== Upload errors ==

So, we're having upload errors... I haven't a clue how to fix it right now, but what I get is this:

: Could not rename file "/tmp/http/phpPZkJNu" to "public/7/7f/Genevieve_Buechner.jpg".

Now, the prefix should really be "/home/bsgwiki/public_html/media/images" and not "public" (no slash in front)... I wonder if there's a configuration setting fubared somewhere in one of 1.13's files? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 05:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

: Ok... this is what happens when the disembodied spirit of Jar Jar Binks inhabits all of us... what caused this issue was the fact that the partition was close to (or at) 100% full.

== Subscription ==

Hi!
I have just paid the subscription fee for a year, but I can still see the ads after having logged out and in again. Is there anything I have to do to confirm it? Have I done anything wrong, or is it just a question of time for the subscription to go through and change my status?
Thanks a mill in advance for your help. -- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 16:12, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
: Hi Mouan, I've confirmed your subscription and will set you up here for ads-free viewing in a few minutes... By the way, do you have an account on our [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum]?

Getting this whenever I post a new article:

from within function "efUpdateCheckUserData". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'bsgwiki_media.cu_changes' doesn't exist (athena.frakmedia.net)".

== Spanish titles ==

Hi there Chief(s)! 
I have recently come across a series of discrepancies in the Spanish translation of the Episode list. Some episodes appear to be direct translations of the original title in English, but do not match the official title they were released with on Sci-Fi in Spain, or the ones listed on the Spanish-language DVD sets. I have been surfing the net searching for information on the different versions, if any exists, of the TV show in Latin America, but I have not found any, apart from the fact that TNT LA broadcasts the Latin version, subtitled, and obviously keeping the original titles in English. 
Since we cannot have 3 different titles for the same episode, which is, in your opinion, the best way to proceed? Have you got any additional information on this topic? For the time being I have suggested to use Sci-Fi Spain as reference, since that is, imho, the only official source and I assume it complies with the wiki's policy. Anyway, any piece of advice? 
-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 13:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
: I would go with Sci-Fi Spain as a reference. Use their title. As for the other titles for that episode, simply make those titles redirect to the main page. Do you know how to make redirects at all? It's not that hard -- it's actually mind-numbingly easy -- but let us know! :D -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 14:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks for the info, Chief! I've changed the titles according to the official source, Sci-Fi Spain. The problem is that I am so frakkin' lost most all the time ''(yes, I'm *that* Viper pilot with a map and the "help-me-I-am-lost" face)'', and afraid of changing what I shouldn't, that it takes me ages getting anything done around there *grumble, grumble, grumble* {{unsigned|Mouan}}
:::Don't sweat it. Any changes that are made can be undone, so if there's something that doesn't work, it can be easily fixed. :) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 19:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
::::One thing. Imagine someone created a page and the title of the page is wrong. How do you edit it so when it's listed on the corresponding category is listed correctly? I have been correcting episodes and I have changed the titles according to Sci-Fi throughout the thext (Episode Data, and every time the episode title is listed). I have changed the titles on the Episode List and Guide, but it's still listed wrong, and editing the page itself does not offer me the posibility to edit the page's title :(-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 20:22, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

:* it won't work for people who have JavaScript disabled;
:* I don't think it's necessary: there are some sections that we can compress or move off the main page:

:** The Airdates section could be a two-column table; it causes a lot of empty space right now;
:** The QotD box doesn't need to be full-width. It could be half-width and go underneath the Airdates box.

== Sharon's callsign (Boomer) ==

I didn't imply the callsign was self-given. The other pilots would no doubt have found out about Troy and in classic harsh military humor (I'm in the Army; I know) they decided to call her Boomer. And unless RDM has stated differently in a blog or podcast, it makes more sense than getting the nickname from her loud, crashing landings.

Also, when Baltar asked about her callsign, she referenced Troy, not, "I make rough landings."

It just makes more sense to have the reference in the notes than hidden in the bio. The whole reason I put it in the notes was because I had been looking for the reference and couldn't find it. And it is more relevant than Head-Six's snarky sexual reference.

Just asking you to reconsider. I'm not factually wrong, and isn't that the point of user-modified fact pages?

Subject: Battlestar Wiki page Sharon Valerii has been changed by Joe Beaudoin Jr.

Dear Pjamese3,

The Battlestar Wiki page Sharon Valerii has been changed on
14:33, 11 May 2008 by Joe Beaudoin Jr., see
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Sharon_Valerii for the current
version.

See
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Sharon_Valerii&diff=0&oldid=159855
for all changes since your last visit.

Editor's summary: revert: as Serenity pointed out, Troy blowing up has
no bearing (not to mention the fact that we've already noted this here).
Also callsigns are given out by other pilots, not self-given. {{unsigned|Pjamese3}}

:Whatever the in-universe reason for her callsign, obviously the out of universe reason is that they had to fill the [[Boomer (TOS)]] slot. That might be a good question for Mr. Thomson over at [[BW:OC]], though. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 00:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

:Her explanation about Troy isn't in any way related to Six's comments (which she can't even hear). Baltar says that he hears a trace of an Aerelon accent in her voice and asks where she comes from. The callsign thing is actually a scene earlier when she first visits Baltar's lab. When Baltar asks about it, she doesn't react to it and asks about the Cylon detector.

== Trouble with Spanish Templates ==

Hi Chiefs! Following Shane's suggestion, we have started updating a few templates of the Spanish wiki since the ones used until now had become obsolete. For some reason, deleting the old Episode Data one and replacing it with the Spanish translation of the one you're currently using here has resulted in chaos. Sure I have done something wrong, because for quite some time the system kinda mixed both templates (even if the old one had been deleted) and the translated episodes using the Episode Data template were all frakked up. I am the one doing the translation work but I don't want to mess up with the template's code once again, and Baltar Gaiolas is not confident either so.... would it possible for any of you guys, to give us a helping hand with this template? Thanks a mill. -- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 02:20, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

:::::OK, same thing happened again :( I translated a test of the Episode Data template and saved it (Test Plantilla: Datos de Episodio) and it has frakked things up once again. The original template has not been deleted, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. I have deleted the test template but the episodes still look all messed up :( And now I am at my wit's end. I am more than happy to help with translations and such, but every time I "touch" the code, I frak up. I apologise for bothering you again with this issue, but I don't know what else I can do. Could any of you guys have a look at that template and fix it. Also, if possible, could someome tell me '''exactly''' what lines need to be translated into Spanish? Because I'm afraid that the problem may lay there, that I have translated part of the code :( -- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 14:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::Future reference, don't mark it minor as I don't get updates when it does. You should have done it on [[:es:Plantilla:Datos_de_Episodio]] There was no need to create [[:es:Test Plantilla:Datos_de_Episodio]]. I don't see any problems other than it being in the wrong place. You also have to update the episode pages as well to use the new template. If you notice, all the variables are lower-case ([[:es:Plantilla:Datos_de_Episodio]]) so [[:es:33]] template has to be updated to reflect the new varabile names as well. Look @ the output area of [[:es:Plantilla:Datos_de_Episodio]] and look at the code. Very simple to update. Just requires patience. The template also has the rules on what needs to be filed out an way. Look @ my changes to [[:es:33]] and see how it came together. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 14:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::Thanks, Shane. So, if I've understood you correctly, I can replace [[:es:Plantilla:Datos_de_Episodio]] with the translated version from the test page I created ([[:es:Test Plantilla:Datos_de_Episodio]]), save it, and once it's done, delete the test page, right? After that, I need to go into every episode page and update the template. -- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 16:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

== Volunteering Translator in need of help ==

Hi

Apologies in advance if this is not the right place to post my request for help. but I'm at my wits' end and utterly lost after navigating this site over and over. I am a frequent user of wikis, but truth is this is the first time a take a peek behind the curtain.
I would like to "serve" as a translator for the Spanish site (I'm a bilingual philologist with time to spare) but I don't know the correct procedure as to where to submit my request to join the translation team. I have already translated some articles on some of the main characters that look fine when previewed, but I really don't know what the next step is.
So, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks (and again apologies if I have posted this on the wrong place)

== Spanish titles ==

Hi there Chief(s)! 
I have recently come across a series of discrepancies in the Spanish translation of the Episode list. Some episodes appear to be direct translations of the original title in English, but do not match the official title they were released with on Sci-Fi in Spain, or the ones listed on the Spanish-language DVD sets. I have been surfing the net searching for information on the different versions, if any exists, of the TV show in Latin America, but I have not found any, apart from the fact that TNT LA broadcasts the Latin version, subtitled, and obviously keeping the original titles in English. 
Since we cannot have 3 different titles for the same episode, which is, in your opinion, the best way to proceed? Have you got any additional information on this topic? For the time being I have suggested to use Sci-Fi Spain as reference, since that is, imho, the only official source and I assume it complies with the wiki's policy. Anyway, any piece of advice? 
-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 13:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
: I would go with Sci-Fi Spain as a reference. Use their title. As for the other titles for that episode, simply make those titles redirect to the main page. Do you know how to make redirects at all? It's not that hard -- it's actually mind-numbingly easy -- but let us know! :D -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 14:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks for the info, Chief! I've changed the titles according to the official source, Sci-Fi Spain. The problem is that I am so frakkin' lost most all the time ''(yes, I'm *that* Viper pilot with a map and the "help-me-I-am-lost" face)'', and afraid of changing what I shouldn't, that it takes me ages getting anything done around there *grumble, grumble, grumble* {{unsigned|Mouan}}

::::One thing. Imagine someone created a page and the title of the page is wrong. How do you edit it so when it's listed on the corresponding category is listed correctly? I have been correcting episodes and I have changed the titles according to Sci-Fi throughout the thext (Episode Data, and every time the episode title is listed). I have changed the titles on the Episode List and Guide, but it's still listed wrong, and editing the page itself does not offer me the posibility to edit the page's title :(-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 20:22, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

== Sharon's callsign (Boomer) ==

I didn't imply the callsign was self-given. The other pilots would no doubt have found out about Troy and in classic harsh military humor (I'm in the Army; I know) they decided to call her Boomer. And unless RDM has stated differently in a blog or podcast, it makes more sense than getting the nickname from her loud, crashing landings.

Also, when Baltar asked about her callsign, she referenced Troy, not, "I make rough landings."

It just makes more sense to have the reference in the notes than hidden in the bio. The whole reason I put it in the notes was because I had been looking for the reference and couldn't find it. And it is more relevant than Head-Six's snarky sexual reference.

Just asking you to reconsider. I'm not factually wrong, and isn't that the point of user-modified fact pages?

Subject: Battlestar Wiki page Sharon Valerii has been changed by Joe Beaudoin Jr.

Dear Pjamese3,

The Battlestar Wiki page Sharon Valerii has been changed on
14:33, 11 May 2008 by Joe Beaudoin Jr., see
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Sharon_Valerii for the current
version.

See
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Sharon_Valerii&diff=0&oldid=159855
for all changes since your last visit.

Editor's summary: revert: as Serenity pointed out, Troy blowing up has
no bearing (not to mention the fact that we've already noted this here).
Also callsigns are given out by other pilots, not self-given. {{unsigned|Pjamese3}}

:Whatever the in-universe reason for her callsign, obviously the out of universe reason is that they had to fill the [[Boomer (TOS)]] slot. That might be a good question for Mr. Thomson over at [[BW:OC]], though. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 00:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

:Her explanation about Troy isn't in any way related to Six's comments (which she can't even hear). Baltar says that he hears a trace of an Aerelon accent in her voice and asks where she comes from. The callsign thing is actually a scene earlier when she first visits Baltar's lab. When Baltar asks about it, she doesn't react to it and asks about the Cylon detector. And I'd say it makes more sense to base the callsign on her flying skills than a catastrophe that killed her whole family. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 00:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

The current podcast situation leaves us playing catch up (whenever the first three are released). Thankfully, I've located a potential [http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=681054&view=findpost&p=5144602 volunteer] for transcribing the third episode, and I'm definitely interested in doing "Six of One". Would anybody like to step up and take on "He That Believeth in Me"? That way we'd have the first three episodes going in parallel, which ought to get us caught up in short order. Speaking of ketchup, if anybody has a chance, there are an inordinate amount of acts that need to be verified over at [[BW:POD]]. Verifying the acts is a far less painful act than the transcription process, and any help on that is appreciated.

When I discovered [[Special:Doubleredirects]] and started checking it regularly and fixing double redirects, I noticed nobody really cares or knows about them. Now that Season 4 is airing, multiple pages are being moved every week, creating more double redirects than ever before. I changed the [[MediaWiki:Movepage-moved|message]] you see after moving a page so it mentioned double redirects and pages linking to the old name, but nobody seems to have noticed that either. I've just fixed another batch of double redirects, so I'd like to draw attention to this: whenever you move a page, all redirects to that page will become double redirects (which are invalid and don't work). So please, people, after moving a page, [[Special:Doubleredirects|check]] whether you've created any and [[Special:Whatlinkshere|see]] if you have to change a name on pages linking to the old title. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 13:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Apologies in advance if this is not the right place to post my request for help. but I'm at my wits' end and utterly lost after navigating this site over and over. I am a frequent user of wikis, but truth is this is the first time a take a peek behind the curtain.
I would like to "serve" as a translator for the Spanish site (I'm a bilingual philologist with time to spare) but I don't know the correct procedure as to where to submit my request to join the translation team. I have already translated some articles on some of the main characters that look fine when previewed, but I really don't know what the next step is.
So, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks (and again apologies if I have posted this on the wrong place)

== Spanish titles ==

Hi there Chief(s)! 
I have recently come across a series of discrepancies in the Spanish translation of the Episode list. Some episodes appear to be direct translations of the original title in English, but do not match the official title they were released with on Sci-Fi in Spain, or the ones listed on the Spanish-language DVD sets. I have been surfing the net searching for information on the different versions, if any exists, of the TV show in Latin America, but I have not found any, apart from the fact that TNT LA broadcasts the Latin version, subtitled, and obviously keeping the original titles in English. 
Since we cannot have 3 different titles for the same episode, which is, in your opinion, the best way to proceed? Have you got any additional information on this topic? For the time being I have suggested to use Sci-Fi Spain as reference, since that is, imho, the only official source and I assume it complies with the wiki's policy. Anyway, any piece of advice? 
-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 13:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
: I would go with Sci-Fi Spain as a reference. Use their title. As for the other titles for that episode, simply make those titles redirect to the main page. Do you know how to make redirects at all? It's not that hard -- it's actually mind-numbingly easy -- but let us know! :D -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 14:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks for the info, Chief! I've changed the titles according to the official source, Sci-Fi Spain. The problem is that I am so frakkin' lost most all the time ''(yes, I'm *that* Viper pilot with a map and the "help-me-I-am-lost" face)'', and afraid of changing what I shouldn't, that it takes me ages getting anything done around there *grumble, grumble, grumble* {{unsigned|Mouan}}

::::One thing. Imagine someone created a page and the title of the page is wrong. How do you edit it so when it's listed on the corresponding category is listed correctly? I have been correcting episodes and I have changed the titles according to Sci-Fi throughout the thext (Episode Data, and every time the episode title is listed). I have changed the titles on the Episode List and Guide, but it's still listed wrong, and editing the page itself does not offer me the posibility to edit the page's title :(-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 20:22, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Hiya. I was wondering whether the use of screenshots taken from an episode is allowed or not.-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 12:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

== Double redirects ==

When I discovered [[Special:Doubleredirects]] and started checking it regularly and fixing double redirects, I noticed nobody really cares or knows about them. Now that Season 4 is airing, multiple pages are being moved every week, creating more double redirects than ever before. I changed the [[MediaWiki:Movepage-moved|message]] you see after moving a page so it mentioned double redirects and pages linking to the old name, but nobody seems to have noticed that either. I've just fixed another batch of double redirects, so I'd like to draw attention to this: whenever you move a page, all redirects to that page will become double redirects (which are invalid and don't work). So please, people, after moving a page, [[Special:Doubleredirects|check]] whether you've created any and [[Special:Whatlinkshere|see]] if you have to change a name on pages linking to the old title. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 13:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

== Double redirects ==

When I discovered [[Special:Doubleredirects]] and started checking it regularly and fixing double redirects, I noticed nobody really cares or knows about them. Now that Season 4 is airing, multiple pages are being moved every week, creating more double redirects than ever before. I changed the [[MediaWiki:Movepage-moved|message]] you see after moving a page so it mentioned double redirects and pages linking to the old name, but nobody seems to have noticed that either. I've just fixed another batch of double redirects, so I'd like to draw attention to this: whenever you move a page, all redirects to that page will become double redirects (which are invalid and don't work). So please, people, after moving a page, [[Special:Doubleredirects|check]] whether you've created any and [[Special:Whatlinkshere|see]] if you have to change a name on pages linking to the old title. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 13:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Apologies in advance if this is not the right place to post my request for help. but I'm at my wits' end and utterly lost after navigating this site over and over. I am a frequent user of wikis, but truth is this is the first time a take a peek behind the curtain.
I would like to "serve" as a translator for the Spanish site (I'm a bilingual philologist with time to spare) but I don't know the correct procedure as to where to submit my request to join the translation team. I have already translated some articles on some of the main characters that look fine when previewed, but I really don't know what the next step is.
So, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks (and again apologies if I have posted this on the wrong place)

== Spanish titles ==

Hi there Chief(s)! 
I have recently come across a series of discrepancies in the Spanish translation of the Episode list. Some episodes appear to be direct translations of the original title in English, but do not match the official title they were released with on Sci-Fi in Spain, or the ones listed on the Spanish-language DVD sets. I have been surfing the net searching for information on the different versions, if any exists, of the TV show in Latin America, but I have not found any, apart from the fact that TNT LA broadcasts the Latin version, subtitled, and obviously keeping the original titles in English. 
Since we cannot have 3 different titles for the same episode, which is, in your opinion, the best way to proceed? Have you got any additional information on this topic? For the time being I have suggested to use Sci-Fi Spain as reference, since that is, imho, the only official source and I assume it complies with the wiki's policy. Anyway, any piece of advice? 
-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 13:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
: I would go with Sci-Fi Spain as a reference. Use their title. As for the other titles for that episode, simply make those titles redirect to the main page. Do you know how to make redirects at all? It's not that hard -- it's actually mind-numbingly easy -- but let us know! :D -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 14:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

== And so the Daddy Tomato said... ==

The current podcast situation leaves us playing catch up (whenever the first three are released). Thankfully, I've located a potential [http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=681054&view=findpost&p=5144602 volunteer] for transcribing the third episode, and I'm definitely interested in doing "Six of One". Would anybody like to step up and take on "He That Believeth in Me"? That way we'd have the first three episodes going in parallel, which ought to get us caught up in short order. Speaking of ketchup, if anybody has a chance, there are an inordinate amount of acts that need to be verified over at [[BW:POD]]. Verifying the acts is a far less painful act than the transcription process, and any help on that is appreciated. I'd step up myself, but as the transcriber of most of the acts I'm not really eligible. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 00:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:Count me in for transcribing HTBIM. I'll have no school for the next three weeks, so I'll have the time. BTW, does this Darthrazorback guy have an account here? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 11:27, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
::Awesome! And, not as far as I could tell, though I'm not picky as to how he gets the transcript in, whether it's by creating an account or sending it via other means (email, etc) and me posting it for him. Hopefully he'll create an account, though, and we'll have a new Galactipedian in the fold. I'll cross that bridge once the podcasts are posted. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:59, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm not saying he must have an account here, just that it'd be more useful if he transcribed directly to the wiki.

The current podcast situation leaves us playing catch up (whenever the first three are released). Thankfully, I've located a potential [http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=681054&view=findpost&p=5144602 volunteer] for transcribing the third episode, and I'm definitely interested in doing "Six of One". Would anybody like to step up and take on "He That Believeth in Me"? That way we'd have the first three episodes going in parallel, which ought to get us caught up in short order. Speaking of ketchup, if anybody has a chance, there are an inordinate amount of acts that need to be verified over at [[BW:POD]]. Verifying the acts is a far less painful act than the transcription process, and any help on that is appreciated.

== Double redirects ==

When I discovered [[Special:Doubleredirects]] and started checking it regularly and fixing double redirects, I noticed nobody really cares or knows about them. Now that Season 4 is airing, multiple pages are being moved every week, creating more double redirects than ever before. I changed the [[MediaWiki:Movepage-moved|message]] you see after moving a page so it mentioned double redirects and pages linking to the old name, but nobody seems to have noticed that either. I've just fixed another batch of double redirects, so I'd like to draw attention to this: whenever you move a page, all redirects to that page will become double redirects (which are invalid and don't work). So please, people, after moving a page, [[Special:Doubleredirects|check]] whether you've created any and [[Special:Whatlinkshere|see]] if you have to change a name on pages linking to the old title. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 13:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

== Volunteering Translator in need of help ==

Hi

Apologies in advance if this is not the right place to post my request for help. but I'm at my wits' end and utterly lost after navigating this site over and over. I am a frequent user of wikis, but truth is this is the first time a take a peek behind the curtain.
I would like to "serve" as a translator for the Spanish site (I'm a bilingual philologist with time to spare) but I don't know the correct procedure as to where to submit my request to join the translation team. I have already translated some articles on some of the main characters that look fine when previewed, but I really don't know what the next step is.
So, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks (and again apologies if I have posted this on the wrong place)

== Spanish titles ==

Hi there Chief(s)! 
I have recently come across a series of discrepancies in the Spanish translation of the Episode list. Some episodes appear to be direct translations of the original title in English, but do not match the official title they were released with on Sci-Fi in Spain, or the ones listed on the Spanish-language DVD sets. I have been surfing the net searching for information on the different versions, if any exists, of the TV show in Latin America, but I have not found any, apart from the fact that TNT LA broadcasts the Latin version, subtitled, and obviously keeping the original titles in English. 
Since we cannot have 3 different titles for the same episode, which is, in your opinion, the best way to proceed? Have you got any additional information on this topic? For the time being I have suggested to use Sci-Fi Spain as reference, since that is, imho, the only official source and I assume it complies with the wiki's policy. Anyway, any piece of advice? 
-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 13:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
: I would go with Sci-Fi Spain as a reference. Use their title. As for the other titles for that episode, simply make those titles redirect to the main page. Do you know how to make redirects at all? It's not that hard -- it's actually mind-numbingly easy -- but let us know! :D -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 14:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks for the info, Chief! I've changed the titles according to the official source, Sci-Fi Spain. The problem is that I am so frakkin' lost most all the time ''(yes, I'm *that* Viper pilot with a map and the "help-me-I-am-lost" face)'', and afraid of changing what I shouldn't, that it takes me ages getting anything done around there *grumble, grumble, grumble* {{unsigned|Mouan}}
:::Don't sweat it.

::::One thing. Imagine someone created a page and the title of the page is wrong. How do you edit it so when it's listed on the corresponding category is listed correctly? I have been correcting episodes and I have changed the titles according to Sci-Fi throughout the thext (Episode Data, and every time the episode title is listed). I have changed the titles on the Episode List and Guide, but it's still listed wrong, and editing the page itself does not offer me the posibility to edit the page's title :(-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 20:22, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::You gotta click the "Move" tab above the page (or "trasladar" in Spanish), which will allow you to change the page's name.

== And so the Daddy Tomato said... ==

The current podcast situation leaves us playing catch up (whenever the first three are released). Thankfully, I've located a potential [http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=681054&view=findpost&p=5144602 volunteer] for transcribing the third episode, and I'm definitely interested in doing "Six of One". Would anybody like to step up and take on "He That Believeth in Me"? That way we'd have the first three episodes going in parallel, which ought to get us caught up in short order. Speaking of ketchup, if anybody has a chance, there are an inordinate amount of acts that need to be verified over at [[BW:POD]]. Verifying the acts is a far less painful act than the transcription process, and any help on that is appreciated. I'd step up myself, but as the transcriber of most of the acts I'm not really eligible. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 00:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

== Double redirects ==

When I discovered [[Special:Doubleredirects]] and started checking it regularly and fixing double redirects, I noticed nobody really cares or knows about them. Now that Season 4 is airing, multiple pages are being moved every week, creating more double redirects than ever before. I changed the [[MediaWiki:Movepage-moved|message]] you see after moving a page so it mentioned double redirects and pages linking to the old name, but nobody seems to have noticed that either. I've just fixed another batch of double redirects, so I'd like to draw attention to this: whenever you move a page, all redirects to that page will become double redirects (which are invalid and don't work). So please, people, after moving a page, [[Special:Doubleredirects|check]] whether you've created any and [[Special:Whatlinkshere|see]] if you have to change a name on pages linking to the old title. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 13:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

== Volunteering Translator in need of help ==

Hi

Apologies in advance if this is not the right place to post my request for help. but I'm at my wits' end and utterly lost after navigating this site over and over. I am a frequent user of wikis, but truth is this is the first time a take a peek behind the curtain.
I would like to "serve" as a translator for the Spanish site (I'm a bilingual philologist with time to spare) but I don't know the correct procedure as to where to submit my request to join the translation team. I have already translated some articles on some of the main characters that look fine when previewed, but I really don't know what the next step is.
So, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks (and again apologies if I have posted this on the wrong place)

== Spanish titles ==

Hi there Chief(s)! 
I have recently come across a series of discrepancies in the Spanish translation of the Episode list. Some episodes appear to be direct translations of the original title in English, but do not match the official title they were released with on Sci-Fi in Spain, or the ones listed on the Spanish-language DVD sets. I have been surfing the net searching for information on the different versions, if any exists, of the TV show in Latin America, but I have not found any, apart from the fact that TNT LA broadcasts the Latin version, subtitled, and obviously keeping the original titles in English. 
Since we cannot have 3 different titles for the same episode, which is, in your opinion, the best way to proceed? Have you got any additional information on this topic? For the time being I have suggested to use Sci-Fi Spain as reference, since that is, imho, the only official source and I assume it complies with the wiki's policy. Anyway, any piece of advice? 
-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 13:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
: I would go with Sci-Fi Spain as a reference. Use their title. As for the other titles for that episode, simply make those titles redirect to the main page. Do you know how to make redirects at all? It's not that hard -- it's actually mind-numbingly easy -- but let us know! :D -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 14:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks for the info, Chief! I've changed the titles according to the official source, Sci-Fi Spain. The problem is that I am so frakkin' lost most all the time ''(yes, I'm *that* Viper pilot with a map and the "help-me-I-am-lost" face)'', and afraid of changing what I shouldn't, that it takes me ages getting anything done around there *grumble, grumble, grumble*

It is our hope that this place can serve as a location for administrators to coordinate their efforts on the maintenance tasks of the Wiki (it's not ALL fun and games), as well as a spot for our contributors to be able to bring things to the attention of the admins if something needs to be done. Need a protected page edited? An article or picture deleted? Admins will watchlist this page so that your request won't get lost in the shuffle.

== Expelled ==

At the very best, advertising Ben Stein's film "Expelled" is insulting and tasteless. Do we have to run this ad? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 18:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
: I can block it. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 19:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
: Ok, I've blocked it. It should take a few hours to go into effect though... If you do happen to see it tomorrow, please let me know what the URL is so that I can block that too. (I've blocked any ad promoting expelledthemovie.com, although the people behind it might have come up with a different url so that it doesn't get blocked. I've seen that before... doesn't happen that often, though.) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 19:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
::I guess that this means "Expelled" is expelled ;-) -- [[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 20:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

== Malay Wiki ==

Given [[User:Starkiller|Starkiller]]'s steadfast and dedicated work, I think it's time to get a malay wiki off the ground. Thoughts? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 16:58, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:He's been translating a lot of stuff lately, so provided he's got the necessities (like [[BW:SAC]] and friends) covered, I support creating a Malay wiki. On a technical note: the translated wikis we currently have use English names for the Portal and Quotes namespaces. It's possible (and actually quite easy) to translate those namespaces names as well. For the Malay wiki, we could do this right from the start, whereas for the other wikis, we could create aliases from "Quotes" to e.g. "Zitaten". --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 17:51, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::No objections here. :) [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 19:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::[[:ms:|Fully Integrated]] even with the InterWiki bot. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 18:02, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
:::You [http://ms.battlestarwiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general|namespaces|namespacealiases didn't do] the namespace thing (yet), though. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 18:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
::::I am waiting for translations. Will there be a way to mass move all the namespaces on the other wikis so I don't have to do manual moves? :) [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 19:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::There's no moving involved at all. The namespace of a page is stored as a number in the database(0 though 15 for the standard namespaces, 100 and above for custom ones), and you're just changing the text associated to that number. It would be good to set up a [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgNamespaceAliases namespace alias] so [[:de:Quotes:Foo]] would automatically go to [[:de:Zitaten:Foo]]. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 20:11, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

== And so the Daddy Tomato said... ==

The current podcast situation leaves us playing catch up (whenever the first three are released). Thankfully, I've located a potential [http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=681054&view=findpost&p=5144602 volunteer] for transcribing the third episode, and I'm definitely interested in doing "Six of One". Would anybody like to step up and take on "He That Believeth in Me"? That way we'd have the first three episodes going in parallel, which ought to get us caught up in short order. Speaking of ketchup, if anybody has a chance, there are an inordinate amount of acts that need to be verified over at [[BW:POD]]. Verifying the acts is a far less painful act than the transcription process, and any help on that is appreciated. I'd step up myself, but as the transcriber of most of the acts I'm not really eligible. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 00:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:Count me in for transcribing HTBIM. I'll have no school for the next three weeks, so I'll have the time. BTW, does this Darthrazorback guy have an account here? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 11:27, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
::Awesome! And, not as far as I could tell, though I'm not picky as to how he gets the transcript in, whether it's by creating an account or sending it via other means (email, etc) and me posting it for him. Hopefully he'll create an account, though, and we'll have a new Galactipedian in the fold. I'll cross that bridge once the podcasts are posted. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:59, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm not saying he must have an account here, just that it'd be more useful if he transcribed directly to the wiki. That way, parts of the podcast can be verified shortly after completion, and he can preview wiki markup rightaway. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 12:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
::::I'll definitely encourage him to do so. I'm just happy to have an extra hand either way. Also, if you get a chance, if you could verify some of my old acts, I'll try to verify the few acts that I'm eligible to. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:03, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::If I can't transcribe, I will try to verify a few when life slows down ''just a wee'' for me. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 14:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

== Woopra slowness... AGAIN ==

Just like it did to the forum last week, the Woopra script is making the wiki load extremely slow. I had to AdBlock *.woopra.com just to be able to post this here. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 20:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
: I've went in to LocalSettings and commented out the extension, so that it doesn't load. I'll probably have to do the same thing over at [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum] RFN. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 20:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
: On that note... I think we should disable Woopra permanently, at least until they get their act together... if they can't handle the traffic or technical issues on their side, and it brings down our traffic, then it's not worth having. Period. After all, I don't find it that important to have "real time" statistics on things, and our audience cares not for such things either. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 21:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
::So that's what the trouble was. I like the stats, but not the delays, especially during live-time. Down with da Man! --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

== Double redirects ==

When I discovered [[Special:Doubleredirects]] and started checking it regularly and fixing double redirects, I noticed nobody really cares or knows about them. Now that Season 4 is airing, multiple pages are being moved every week, creating more double redirects than ever before. I changed the [[MediaWiki:Movepage-moved|message]] you see after moving a page so it mentioned double redirects and pages linking to the old name, but nobody seems to have noticed that either. I've just fixed another batch of double redirects, so I'd like to draw attention to this: whenever you move a page, all redirects to that page will become double redirects (which are invalid and don't work). So please, people, after moving a page, [[Special:Doubleredirects|check]] whether you've created any and [[Special:Whatlinkshere|see]] if you have to change a name on pages linking to the old title. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 13:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
: Thanks for this, Catrope! And you're right, we do need to keep an attentive eye on this issue. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 15:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
: It doesn't help that the [[Special:Specialpages|special pages overview]] was removed from the admin sidebar. I have a link to it in my bookmarks, but I was nice to have that shorthand. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:31, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
:: The link's on the bottom of the page, just underneath the bottom editing toolbar on each page. ;-) Although we could definitely slip it back into the sidebar, at least for the chiefs. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]] 15:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

== Volunteering Translator in need of help ==

Hi

Apologies in advance if this is not the right place to post my request for help. but I'm at my wits' end and utterly lost after navigating this site over and over. I am a frequent user of wikis, but truth is this is the first time a take a peek behind the curtain.
I would like to "serve" as a translator for the Spanish site (I'm a bilingual philologist with time to spare) but I don't know the correct procedure as to where to submit my request to join the translation team. I have already translated some articles on some of the main characters that look fine when previewed, but I really don't know what the next step is.
So, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks (and again apologies if I have posted this on the wrong place)
