| I'm thinking, a lot of users join up, and then the majority never edit anything. Are we sure we're not scaring people off by very quick "Welcome to the Battlestar Wiki!" message everyone gets? Perhaps we could trial a week or two where we don't use this and see what happens, or reconsider its content? [[User:OTW|OTW]] 17:49, 23 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| :A greeting from Spencerian (albeit much briefer) when I first started was one of the things that kept me around. I'd be surprised if it made much of an impact either way, but I'd be willing to try an experiment. However, getting the message out to everybody not to greet newcomers might be awkward, and if you didn't get the word out you'd still have people getting greeted. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 20:02, 23 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| :We can try to create alternate welcome messages, see which of them is more effective. Or we can try short, informative messages in lieu of our normal one. -- [[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> 22:22, 23 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| ::Perhaps an adjustment to the message would be appropriate. Something like...
| |
| :::''"Thanks for creating an account on the Battlestar Wiki! With a user account, you can, if you wish, now create or edit almost all of the articles on the wiki. You aren't obligated to edit or comment...if you liked to "lurk" in the background before, you can still do so. However, with a user account, Battlestar Wiki works better when you do correct, add new information, vote on matters, and generally speak out. The community, in return, can speak back to you."''
| |
| ::We can amend the existing greeting around it. I think the current greeting is good in the sense that it leaves little out as far as the essential information needed to contribute to this wiki (as opposed to others). But brevity should always be considered. Thoughts? --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 00:56, 24 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| :::Maybe we need to ease up a bit one the rules. Right now it's like "Please don't do this and that and especially not this. Oh and read our rules about this and that, which is very important". That might scare some people. Usually we make immediate style edits anyways.
| |
| :::We could create ''one'' help page with further links for this (basically what's in the message now) and then have just one link to "Tips for starting" in the welcome text. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 07:23, 24 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| ::::Yes. The current message spawned over time because our help pages weren't as developed (or existed). Now they are. We can put in essential links and keep it shorter. I'll try my hand at one here shortly for review here for everyone based on our current help and tutorial pages. One or two reminders should remain in the greeting, however. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 07:58, 24 November 2007 (CST)

| === Variant #1 ===
| |
| | |
| Here's a version that I've worked on:
| |
| | |
| : ''Greetings, [username], and welcome to Battlestar Wiki! I hope you enjoy your stay with us and am looking forward to your contributions to the Wiki!''
| |
| | |
| : ''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, [http://www.battlestarpegasus.com Battlestar Pegasus] (which will soon open) shall do so. We're also not really a discussion site, but 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]]. ''
| |
| | |
| : ''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|Galactipedian's 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.''
| |
| | |
| : ''Thank you for joining us! Hope to see you soon!''

| |
| ::''We hope you enjoy your stay with us and look forward to your contributions''
| |
| :This is ambiguous. Who's looking forward to the newbie's contributions? "We" or "you"? It can be interpreted either way. The sentence should be disambiguated by adding "we": "and '''we''' look forward to your contributions".

| :::I for one love this new greeting. Although I did like the part in the old greeting that asked them to start a user page. So is this complete? Can we start using it now? --[[User:OrionFour|OrionFour]] 19:33, 26 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| ::::The new greeting's quite less bloated. This Concision Fairy approves. I recommend, however, to change the following as such: ''"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)'''''."'' --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:47, 26 November 2007 (CST)

| ==Season Data Boxes== | | == Improperly Archived Talk Pages == |
| I was just thinking, it would be really cool if we had a special data box for each season, similar to the data boxes we have for each episode. We can put in the number of episodes, the release data, dvd information, a season chronology for quick access to other seasons, and even things like SciFi Pulse links to teaser trailers. We could have links to the [[List of Podcasts]] page with # signs for each season, as well as the season R&D skit pages, and if we're really ambitious we can create staff pages that list all the various staff for each season and link it there. It could also be a way to bring the links to the episode guides (the list guide and the summary guide) to the top. We could have a spot for promotional materials, such as the webisodes and minisodes, and of course, the trailers. | | 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) |
| One reason I say this is because page views for Season 3 have topped 124,000! Page views for Season 4 have already reached 45,000. To me, this seems to necessitate a data box for easy interactive access. --[[User:OrionFour|OrionFour]] 01:32, 16 December 2007 (CST)
| | : 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) |
| :Sounds interesting! My first reaction was negative, as it sounded like the season templates at the bottom of the episode guides, but now I think I'm tracking with you. I don't think there'd be any harm in going ahead and mocking something up. People usually can provide more concrete critical feedback when there's something actually there for their tomatoes to hit. Do you want to take the lead on this one? I'd recommend taking the episode data template as a base (as far as copying and pasting for formatting purposes), and going from there. Maybe Template:Season Data? --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:32, 17 December 2007 (CST) | | :: 👍 --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] ([[User talk:April Arcus|talk]]) 16:57, 13 April 2020 (PDT) |

| :If it's only displayed on the respective season pages it's a very good idea. In general, it's a good idea to be careful with templates. Sometimes there are huge templates or up to 2 of them displayed below a character article. That's just clutter for little to no gain. But this would work. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 12:23, 17 December 2007 (CST)
| |
| ::Alright i'll get started! Any other ideas to add to the template? Also does anyone know where I can find old teaser trailers to previous seasons? --[[User:OrionFour|OrionFour]] 14:39, 17 December 2007 (CST) | |
