| == Javascript Reported Vandals ==
| |
|
| |
| == Advertisement from hotest-tgp-pics.com ==
| |
|
| |
| When accessing a page on BSWiki just now, I ran into a very annoying advertisement. Before the page had even loaded, I was redirected to [http://hotest-tgp-pics.com hotest-tgp-pics.com] (not even in a new window or tab, so it overwrote the page I was viewing), which in turn resized my window to minuscule proportions, then put up a message box over it. Because my PC is slow, I can follow this, but on a fast PC it would seem like my browser window had disappeared. The message box was a misleading advertisement from [http://www.systemdoctor.com SystemDoctor], stating there were errors in my Registry (I'm running Linux, so I don't even ''have'' a registry) and telling me to click OK if I wanted SystemDoctor to check my non-existent registry, or click Cancel if not. After clicking Cancel, I was led to SystemDoctor's download page. I used the Back button to go all the way back to BSWiki, where I finally got to view the page I was visiting in the first place. When I (voluntarily) revisited hotest-tgp-pics.com, I got a similiar advertisement from [http://www.errorsafe.com ErrorSafe], which was just as misleading and annoying as SystemDoctor's. A third visit led me to [http://www.errorprotector.com errorprotector.com], advertising (less obtrusively, though) a product similar to ErrorSafe and SystemDoctor.
| |
|
| |
| I propose that this advertisement be banned from BSWiki for the following reasons:
| |
| # It is misleading (it ''always'' says there are errors in your Registry, even if your Registry is fine or you don't even have one);
| |
| # It is obtrusive, as it overwrites the page I'm visiting. Compared to this, popups would be a service (at least they leave your current page intact);
| |
| # It may confuse unexperienced users, because their browser window seems to vanish and multiple clicks on the Back button are needed to go back to BSWiki.

| == Kara Thrace and Maelstrom Discussions ==
| |
|
| |
| Admins: I just put my virtual foot down in the Character Elimination subtopic in the Humanoid Cylon Speculation article, asking discussions to cease, because unnecessary and circular debate on Starbuck was going on. The talk was a perfect example of what we're [[BW:NOT|not a place to chat forever]]. I know that Wikipedia has had a similar problem with other popular pages there, like the various articles for the TV show "Heroes." I don't want our wiki to look like an ugly Windows operating system with more banners and warnings than content like what Wikipedia has become, so let's be on our toes throughout the week to keep talk page discussions relevant and brief, warning users on their talk pages if necessary. Hopefully I'm not being too brash, but understandably there are many fans who are unglued by "Maelstrom" and we have to keep the consistency and accuracy of the wiki as well as managing questions but limit talk page speculation. In a way it's a good thing; Starbuck and the show have become dear to our hearts. But "it's just a TV show: we should really just relax..."--[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:28, 7 March 2007 (CST)
| |
| : No problem. Thanks Kevin! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 21:40, 7 March 2007 (CST)
| |
| ::But... but... but... That's fine with me. If there were novel arguments being made, I would advocate continuing the discussion. As it stands, it seems to be one person attempting to argue against a crowd. This is NOT a democracy, so the sheer numbers shouldn't be the only deciding factor. A lone voice making an impassioned, logical argument CAN sway consensus. That being said, the consensus seems pretty clear in this matter, and unless new evidence comes to light or there are novel arguments to be made, we should just let that one drop for right now. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 07:43, 8 March 2007 (CST)
| |
| :::Yeah, I didn't want to just end the discussion because it was annoying, but because it become less a debate than what should be in the article based on its subject matter. Starbuck's resurrection (if it happens) isn't a real topic appropriate to that article, nor is the metaphysicals of other SF in comparison to BSG. It really got off a tangent from the article subject. If a similar discussion (if kept brief) happened on Thrace's character page, I'd be less likely to ask the discussion to end given the circumstances. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:17, 8 March 2007 (CST)

| I have a note about this on the Crossroads Pt. 1 talk page 'cause that's where I was having the problem first, but it's been spreading, I keep running into pages where it tells me I'm forbidden to go there.

| == source on character´s pages ==
| |
|
| |
| Hello!
| |
|
| |
| My computer forgot to add the stylesheet one day and your pages came in view: white page, text and pictures only, no frames etc. ALL hidden text was revealed and to my surpise, it said under every character ...is a Humanoid Cylon.
| |
|
| |
| Source :
| |
| <tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;" class="hiddenStructure">
| |
| <td colspan="2"> Lee Adama is a <a href="/wiki/Humanoid_Cylon" title="Humanoid Cylon">Cylon</a>
| |
| </td></tr>
| |
| <tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;" class="hiddenStructure">
| |
| <td colspan="2"> Lee Adama is an Original Series Cylon
| |
| </td></tr></table>
| |
|
| |
| Hm, according to you everyone (...) is a Cylon?
| |
| Only one click away.
| |
|
| |
| Ps. I´m very glad I recently found this Wiki-pages. Dutch television is still halfway season two and have delayed the rest of the season...again! A!&&"(_&"(A!! Looking forward to take a good look around when you´ve finished. So much to learn!
| |
|
| |
| Good hunting, {{unsigned|Ristridin}}
| |
|
| |
| :Hi, Ristridin. Our template that allows us to change the status of a character is revealed a bit too much if the site is viewed without the style sheet. We know that Lee Adama isn't a Cylon, but we're still sorting out what the season 3 conclusion gave us. You're going to love it. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 16:06, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :The problem is actually even worse. In the week after "[[The Son Also Rises]]" aired, someone Googled [[Romo Lampkin]] (a character introduced in this episode), and Google came up with the "Romo Lampkin is a Cylon" part of the page. Now Romo Lampkin is not a Cylon (as far as we know...), but it made him think he was spoiled. The templates we use should not output unwanted info at all instead of just hiding the table cell. It's easy to do with an <nowiki>{{#if:condition|then|else}}</nowiki> construct (Shane knows what I mean).
| |
| :Also, as you haven't seen the entire series yet, I recommend you only read the articles about the episodes themselves (i.e. [[Miniseries, Night 1]] through [[Resurrection Ship, Part II]], the episodes that have aired in NL). Other articles (like [[William Adama]]) may contain spoilers. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 10:09, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

| == User Page template == | | ===Senior Chiefs=== |
| Hi everyone. The red links from new users' User pages hit me wrong every time I view [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]]. Can we set up a standard new user User page template? I was thinking something along the lines of Shane's (with suitable modifications, of course) as that is what many of us use anyway :) ... but even a generic "This is your user page. You can use this to help other wikipedians get to know you" etc. etc. etc. would work. Possible new project? [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 13:20, 15 April 2007 (CDT)
| | Senior chiefs are, in Wikipedia's terminology, bureaucrats who have the ability to make other users into chiefs. They also have the ability to check user and other advance functions not under the purview of the chiefs. |

|
| : While I'm not a fan of red-links by any means, I've always felt that the user page was their page to do with as they please, as so long as they obeyed the guidelines and policies. To force people to have a user page doesn't strike my fancy at all, since it's more or less their space, not the community's. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 14:48, 15 April 2007 (CDT)

| Hi folks. Well, let me propose this and see if gets shot down. Is there any way the advertisements for sites that are selling pornography could be removed from the site? The only reasons I can give are (1) I find them rude (2) My family members find them rude (3) I think they detract rather than add to the experience of the site. (4) I don't think they have anything to do with the subject matter at hand. [[User:Mokwella|Mokwella]] 13:25, 18 April 2007 (CDT)
