== Change the site over... ==
 
Hey Joe, sorry if im being an annoyance, but I am concerned about the Battlestar Pegasus site:
 
"Mercer, the site is now up. However, I do have plans to change the website over, since it never really lifted off as well as I'd hoped. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 18:29, 15 September 2009 (UTC) "
 
I was wondering what you meant by this. I know I am one of the few users who uses it, but I have put alot of time and energy into the articles, ship files, character files, corporation files, and soon some technology files, AND my fanfiction as well. I would hate to see this go, and I am just wondering what your position on this is, and I just want to touch base with you on this.
 
Thanks,
 
Mercer

Oh, I understand now. I thought by "change the website over" you meant take it down or something, but it seems you mean to change aspects of it. If it does so happen that you wish to remove it, PLEASE contact me and let me know at drew.shoemaker@gmail.com
 
Again, thanks for all of your responses and clarification on this matter...

I think I might have screwed up.
 
I've just posted this new page after I failed to find anything specific to this officer by searching by his call sign:

However, after some thought I looked again and but asked for his specific task instead.  Then I found this:

What should I do?

== can someone please add YR42 to the Numerology page entry for "42"? ==
 
since it has been established that "last year" on Caprica was YR41 (timestamp on interview with the bomber kid) and that "this year" is YR42 (masthead on newspaper), can someone please add this to the entry for "42" on the numerology page?

thanks!
 
here's something i just posted on my FB:
 
and hey, look what i found for 42! http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Numerology#42 - i knew the reference to Douglas Adams' works (42 is, of course, the meaning of life, the universe, and everything - and it just so happens that 42 in decimal is 101010 in binary - HUH!!! lol!).

== Season 4.0 limited release ==
 
Can someone help me with this?
 
It's been so long since I bought my dvds, and unfortunately lost track of where I was in the show.
I am re watching it now, only to realize I purchased some kind of tin case for season 4.0.
I have not been able to find any information about this anywhere on the internet - even on the list of dvd/blu-ray releases on this wiki site.  Can someone tell me what I bought? I can upload a pic if need be.

== I ask again ==
 
I think my last question several months ago was overlooked. I would like to know what is to become of the Battlestar Pegasus site. I have put weeks of my time into writing a fan fiction on that website, not including all of the ship files, corporation files and other pages I have created. I hope this site does not have to go for good, but if it does, at least allow me to retrieve my works from it.
 
Replies are appreciated. Thanks.
 
--[[User:Mercer|Mercer]] 13:33, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 
: I'd need to speak to Shane, who backed up all the files and database for the website when we relocated servers. It's not been a priority to put up the website for us, because of the things that have happened these past few months. (Shane's working on a corporate project, and I'm juggling several endeavors myself—all of which pay our bills.) I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, and I understand that you spent time working on everything... but there have been more pressing matters, such as the upkeep of the Wiki, which takes precedence over BSP, as the Wiki ''is'' our flagship site. We'll let you know when things are back up. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 13:57, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 
 
Thanks, I am glad to hear it was backed up and I understand about the upkeep of the normal wiki, I just wanted to hear what was planned and make sure my work was safe at least.
 
Thanks for the feedback and I wish you luck. :)

== Miniseries Night 1 ==
 
"The Cylons were created by the people of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol as a labor and military force.
Approximately 52 years prior, the Cylons turned on their human creators and the Cylon War ensued."
 
Prior means before right?  they couldnt turn on their creators 52 before they were created.
:Probably could be better worded, the 52 years prior line is prior to the "Zero hour" that the Minseries is set in (at least, that's how I interperated it). --[[User:Typhoeus|Typhoeus]] 22:21, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

First of all, thank you so much for this great wiki.
 
My question is, would it be possible to include a printing script into the codes for a better printing solution?
 
Some pages have a chaotic design when printed. {{unsigned|Ergasto}}
 
: Hi Ergasto! Thank you for the praise, as well as your question! To answer that question, we will be rolling out a better printer script into the wiki, so that it better formats the pages.

Copying an idea from Wikipedia, anyone for having a "Facebook" directory like this: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Facebook_directory Wikipedia:Facebook directory]? It could encourage users whose pages are simply marked "userpage" to personalize them. Then again, we already have a Facebook presence so this could just be needlessly redundant.

== War Of The Gods Part II - the cloven hoof and the novelization ==
 
Hi Folks,  I was looking up the war of the gods part 2 info and i saw the info about the cloven hoof being seen by Apollo and Starbuck when they look into the crashed ship. I was always mad that we never got to see it on the show or in a deleted scene but this past summer i found the novelization of War of the Gods at a flea market and it made mention that the body that Apollo and Starbuck saw had a prehensile tail and legs that ended in cloven hooves.
  Just thought I would pass it along.

In a listing of Battlestars in the old series that were present at the "peace" conference, the Acropolis needs to be deleted and the Solaria put in its place.  The Battlestars present were: Galactica, Atlantia, Columbia, Pacifica and Solaria.  The Battlestar Solaria was the last Battlestar destroyed at the peace conference.  It is refrenced in both the book and the pilot.  I tried to update the list of Battlestars, but was unable to do so.
 
== Theatrical Movie ==
 
Back in 2009 it was reported that Bryan Singer was working on a theatrical movie, apparently based on his revival script from like a decade ago. I haven't heard any information since then, but as of June 2011 both Wiki and IMDb list it as a going concern. I was a little surprised you guys don't have a category for that, and I could't find any information in a search. Does anyone here know anything about this? Is it *really* still a going concern? {{unsigned|Republibot 3.0}}
 
: Rumors of a BSG movie are really nothing more than a bunch of people blowing hot air. I have it on very good authority that the movie will never happen, as frankly Glen Larson is viewed in a negative light and, therefore, no one wants to deal with him. (Glen Larson is the only one with the movie rights, and so would have more involvement in — and full creative control of — any movie production.) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 10:18, 4 June 2011 (EDT)
 
== Any plans for SSL ==
 
I find it bothering to login to this wiki from public hotspots and university campuses without SSL. Any plans for implementing SSL at least for logins. I know that it involves purchasing certificates and all (by the way I think some vendors are giving certificates for free.), but security a must in these times. And I don't see any means of reclaiming ones account, once its compromised. [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 03:14, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

== Lots of spamming activity. ==
 
Looking at recent changes its clearly visible that there has been a lot of specifically targeted spamming attack on this wiki. And due to that, the recent changes page is flooded with all the spam posts and then the blocks. It actually becomes difficult to see the changes of articles going on. Are there any particular attempts to stop this. [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 05:33, 9 August 2011 (EDT)
 
:Since anons are not allowed to edit pages, spammers are forced to create accounts to do their bidding. (Have you noticed the kind of usernames being created, they usually are names from common word lists and 2 to 4 digits of numbers appended, this probably means that this is not done manually, but is scripted. And this makes me believe that ReCapcha  is broken.) I have also noticed that the chiefs here are pretty quick in blocking these spamming accounts, but isn't it a better idea to also block the IP from which the account was created, so they just wont continue with creating more accounts. The new users log is just filled with all these kinds of accounts. [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 05:39, 9 August 2011 (EDT)
 
:: This is nothing new. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as banning the IP addresses — those are banned as well, in addition to usernames of the spammers — since they simply use another computer at another IP address. Also, many of the successful spammers are apparently actual users (i.e. human beings and not bots), and thus they circumvent the captchas by actually solving them. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 09:24, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

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.

This noticeboard is a location to discuss and coordinate administrative tasks for the Battlestar Wiki.

It is our hope that this place can serve as a location for administrators to coordinate their efforts on the maintenance tasks of the Wiki (it's not ALL fun and games), as well as a spot for our contributors to be able to bring things to the attention of the admins if something needs to be done. Need a protected page edited? An article or picture deleted? Admins will watchlist this page so that your request won't get lost in the shuffle.

Discussions[edit]

Request For Article Deletion[edit]

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 this (assault raptor) article be deleted? The duplicate for this article is here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fisher 2000 (talk • contribs).

No worries! The duplicate has been deleted. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 03:05, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

lost access to my old account[edit]

hello! this is User:DrWho42 from a new account. my old account used an old university email which i no longer have access to. if possible, i would like to regain access in preparation for the new series (love sam esmail and mr. robot!).-DoctorWho42 (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2020 (PST)

Send me an email at webmaster@battlestarwiki.org with your new email address. I should be able to update your account and send you a password reset link. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 18:40, 5 January 2020 (PST)

Improperly Archived Talk Pages[edit]

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. --April Arcus (talk) 19:59, 12 April 2020 (PDT)

This was caused by the initial deployment of the 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. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 14:17, 13 April 2020 (PDT)
