| == How do you sign up to be a mirror? ==
| |
|
| |
| Hey all, I'm the webmaster of bsgtns.com and one of the owners of MediaBlvd. We think this is a pretty cool thing that you have here, and would like to offer up some server space for a mirror. MB has 6 high end servers, and good deals on bandwidth. I might be missing how to go about that, as I'm fairly new to this space. I did want to say that I really like the concept though, and I spent several hours going thru the Wiki yesterday, and liked what I saw enough to want to be involved-- NetRanger
| |
| :[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|talk to joe]]. I think usually the mirror deals with running the software of mediawiki and one site having access to the other and vice-versa. Joe is currently sick. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 19:12, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

| :::Probably is spyware, but doing it on a Linux machine is kinda freaky. Also, Charter Cable uses proxy servers on there networks. It might be that doing it at that point. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 09:56, 16 November 2006 (CST)

| :Wow. It took a few refreshes, but I was able to reproduce a redirect to the stupid rockstar site. That's pretty uncool of them. Any way to ban that particular ad? --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:00, 16 November 2006 (CST)

| ::Pfft naughty ad companies. I emailed AdBrite earlier and they explained to me how to only show text adverts and not image or flash banner ads. I suggest that Joe do the same :) --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 15:57, 16 November 2006 (CST)

| Just want to get some feedback from the admins on this, but how do we feel about continuing the short-term editing freezes on episode articles during airing? Are they helping us or are we just doing ourselves a disservice? Thoughts? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 21:48, 4 December 2006 (CST)
| | == Improperly Archived Talk Pages == |
| | I'm seeing a lot of archived pages in the Talk namespace with "/Archive 1" appended to their names, where the corresponding unprefixed Talk page does not exist. It looks like someone mass-archived talk pages and neglected to create new talk pages or an archive index. I suggest that we move these pages back to their unprefixed titles, with a bot or mass edit tool if possible. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] ([[User talk:April Arcus|talk]]) 19:59, 12 April 2020 (PDT) |
| | : This was caused by the initial deployment of the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StructuredDiscussions StructuredDiscussions extension]. It should've provided a link the "archive" from the main "talk" page, but it didn't deploy that. I'm seeing about a means to rectify that. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 14:17, 13 April 2020 (PDT) |
