| == 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?

| |
| | |
| 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)
| |
| | |
| ::Interesting out of universe explanation of the callsign in general. [http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/media/approach/whatsyourcallsign/callsignhistory.htm "Someone with the callsign "Boomer" is either a party hound or else broke some windows with a supersonic low-level fly-by."]

| == 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)
| |
| :::::::Remember that you don't have to be afraid of breaking stuff beyond repair: you can always undo your edits and revert the template back to a working version. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 18:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

| == WYSIWYG editor problems ==
| |
|
| |
|
| The new WYSIWYG editor is surely very nifty (though slow), but did you notice how it messes up internal links? All by itself changes something like <nowiki>[[Natalie]]</nowiki> to <nowiki>[[Natalie|Natalie]]</nowiki>. And that for ''all ''links within the text whenever you edit a page with it. Functionally, it's the same, but generally we took care to remove such unnecessary piping by hand. I could make understand something like <nowiki>[[Battlestar|battlestar]]</nowiki>, but it changes anything no matter what. That kinda clutters up the text if you read it the old way.
| | == Request For Article Deletion == |
| | Hello, I hope this is the correct page to ask for such things. I have done a lot of editing on the BSG: Deadlock articles and I have taken note that there was a duplicate article created (possibly my mistake) Please can I request that [[Assault Raptor|this]] (assault raptor) article be deleted? The duplicate for this article is [[Assault Raptor (Deadlock)|here]]. {{unsigned|Fisher 2000}} |
|
| |
|
| It also didn't take my nowiki-links here for some reason and translated them into html characters. Typing them in text view and then switching to WYSIWYG worked. Moreover, it writes categories in one line instead of one line per category. More seriously, none of the quick links below the edit box works anymore. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:12, 26 May 2008 (UTC)<br>
| | : No worries! The duplicate has been deleted. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 03:05, 14 February 2024 (UTC) |

| :What the hell.. those who prefer to read and edit plain wikitext (like I do) can click the "Wikitext" button in the top left corner of the editor. Anyway, according to [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FCKeditor_%28by_Mafs%29#Introduction the extension page on MediaWiki.org], it's an "'''expirimental''' approach providing a '''semi'''-WYSIWYG concept". IMO, FCKeditor is not ''nearly'' mature enough to be used here. Also, I was surprised that such a major change was made without discussion or without testing on the Hangar Bay. Shouldn't we at least go through the Think Tank and all that? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 10:29, 26 May 2008 (UTC) | | == lost access to my old account == |
