| == Minor issues regarding the new skin == | | == Quote of the day. == |
| | |
| There's a minor issue with the gallery feature in this skin. As seen by [[Viper (TOS)#Related images]], the bottom cell in the second column isn't filled to the bottom like the other two that flank it. Slightly annoying, aesthetically speaking. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 12:36, 26 September 2007 (CDT)

| We also need to replace the redirect image as well... -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 20:50, 28 September 2007 (CDT)

| == Protection ==
| |
| | |
| I wanted to add some news to the merch section, but the Wiki is telling me the main page is protected with cascading on. Any ideas when we'll be able to edit it again? --[[User:Slander|Slander]] 09:43, 27 September 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :I think cascade-protecting the Main Page was intended as a permanent measure (dunno for sure, though), so I guess you'll have to do it the old-fashioned way: put the news on the associated talk page and ask an admin to add it. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 10:56, 27 September 2007 (CDT)

| ::Cascading will stay on, sorry. But the news should not be effected. I will look into that. [[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 11:20, 27 September 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :::Actually, it should, as it's transcluded from a page that's in turn transcluded from the Main Page. Cascading protection also works deeply. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 11:52, 27 September 2007 (CDT)
| |
| ::::Unprotecting CF News Service didn't help: it's still protected. Rather than cascading-protecting [[Main Page]], we may want to just protect everything that needs protecting manually. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 15:31, 27 September 2007 (CDT)
| |
| ::::On a side note, the cascading protection is actually pretty evil. For instance, it automatically protects the Quote of the Day (which should be editable) and [[Battlestar Wiki:News/Airdates]]. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 15:34, 27 September 2007 (CDT)

| : Cascading protection is horrible. Just protect the pages individually. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 15:51, 27 September 2007 (CDT)
| |
| ::I've gone ahead and removed the cascading protection; the Main Page and some components will be protected, of course, but besides that everything else that should be editable is editable. Lemme know if you have any problems. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 15:55, 27 September 2007 (CDT)

| :::Should we protect the following?
| |
| :::* [[Main Page/Community Section]]
| |
| :::* [[Main Page/Friends Section]]
| |
| :::* [[Main Page/Sister Projects]]
| |
| :::** These are edited very rarely, and only ever by Joe or Shane
| |
| :::* [[Main Page/Featured Article]]
| |
| :::* [[Main Page/Featured Picture]]
| |
| :::** Switched each month, usually by an admin
| |
| :::I think that's pretty much it, the rest of the pages transcluded from [[Main Page]] (which is quite a lengthy list BTW) either don't need protection or are already protected. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 16:12, 27 September 2007 (CDT)

| Thanks for looking into things, fellas. I'm probably going to be getting more active around here, so it's good to know what I can and cannot alter before attempting to do so. I'll probably just wikignome it. --[[User:Slander|Slander]] 21:37, 27 September 2007 (CDT)

| :You'll notice pretty quickly what you can't edit though: for protected pages, you'll see a "view source" tab rather than an "edit" tab. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 06:53, 28 September 2007 (CDT)

| == Aren't there three new YouTube videos for Razor? ==
| |
| | |
| When I looked at the announcement for the new Razor previews here on Battlestar Wiki, naturally I was excited.. So when I went to check them out on YouTube, I found that there were not two new videos, but three (or at least, that's how it seems to be)..
| |
| | |
| Check this out, these are the videos you linked to:<BR>

| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnhSrBx79VQ<BR>
| |
| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw_Z2VgFN0o
| |
| | |
| But this one seems to be new as well (and very exciting I might add):<BR>
| |
| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e20Z8CsJBwg
| |
| | |
| This last one seems to be specifically about 'Razor flashbacks' that'll air during Flash Gordon..

| :Yeah, that one is specifically to promote the Webisodes. Sure we can link to them all, but on the other hand we are not a news site. We document the show, but generally post only the most important stuff in the small news section. Or put something up when it hasn't been updated for a while. We often include information from news into spoiler articles as you see in the "Razor" or Season 4 articles, but you'll see that the latest "Razor" teasers aren't included in the episode article. I don't know how others feel about this, but I don't think it's really necessary. For our purpose, I think it's better to note stuff like the appearances of [[Kendra Shaw]], [[Gina]], [[Alastair Thorne]] or [[Jurgen Belzen]] than linking to the teasers for their own sake.
| | Why was the quote of the day section removed from the main page. That was one awesome section which automatically updated daily, and gave us some kind of dynamism in the main page. It would be really nice if that could be added back. I don't have rights to edit the main page. So, some one with rights should do it. -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 05:32, 23 February 2012 (EST) |
| :This is a case where it's easy to add another link (I'll do so), but don't expect to find every bit of news on the show here. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:42, 2 October 2007 (CDT)

Quote of the day.
