|
| What does another site have to do, really, to get on our little "Friends" list? I just wondered if there were any rules or... what? I thought, since we link Memory Alpha, that it might be appropriate to link the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Wookieepedia], seeing as how it's another huge Wiki about a popular SciFi universe (or Space Opera, but let's not split hairs). Anyway... What's the story? --[[User:Day|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Admin]])</sup> 00:03, 31 May 2006 (CDT)
| | Why was the quote of the day section removed from the main page. That was one awesome section which automatically updated daily, and gave us some kind of dynamism in the main page. It would be really nice if that could be added back. I don't have rights to edit the main page. So, some one with rights should do it. -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 05:32, 23 February 2012 (EST) |
| :Well.. I created the "friends" section to hightlight sites that have a lot of common elements to each other. Gateworld - Learn about most BSG News Here. MA - A lot of the Actors/Crew have down work in Star Trek and BSG is compared to Star Trek. Wikipedia - Has large sections of just everything. inlcuding the templates, and styles we use on the site. This is my unoffical policy of the friends section bear in mind. I wouldn't just put any old site on this section unless if it did had a significant impact on the subject matter at hand. I don't see alot of Star Wars references in this Wiki. That's why I would not put that site in this section. Plus we have a thing with {{tl|gateworldphoto}} and I think Joe is talking or might soon be talking with {{tl|memoryalphaphoto}}. We use alot of the same common images. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 00:21, 31 May 2006 (CDT)

| == Did you know... ==
| |
| | |
| So I was thinking of adding a "Did You Know..." section under the "Airdates" section (if for no other reason than that space is not used), but I couldn't figure it out. I have some ides for Did You Know...s, so if someone else has already started working on this, lemme know. Just while I'm thinking of it, I'll post what's in my head now right here. Otherwise I'll forget.
| |
| | |
| ::'''Did You Know...'''
| |
| ::*...that [[Wikipedia:Thrace|Thrace]] is a geographic area somewhat north of [[Wikipedia:Greece|Greece]]?
| |
| ::*...that both [[Zak Adama]] and [[Ellen Tigh]] have been portrayed by two different actors?
| |
| ::*...that [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] was originally never intended to appear after being left on [[Caprica]] in the [[Miniseries]]?
| |
| ::*...that [[Samuel Anders]]' last name is derived from the Greek word for "Man"?
| |
| | |
| I thought of some more while I was typing that. Anyway... there's those. --[[User:Day|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Admin]])</sup> 23:37, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

| : Oh. I just now saw that there's a "Did you know..." section on the RDM portal... Is there a reason not to put it over here and include questions from all continuities? --[[User:Day|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Admin]])</sup> 23:39, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

| ::I still like the idea of "did you know" on the front page. I can add it to the [[Battlestar Wiki:Main page|main page project]]. Under what section is the question. With the news being so long it is really tough. Right now I am working on the cite.php file to see if I can place the refernces in another area (new section on the front page - also see [[Battlestar Wiki:Main page#Current Design|current design]]) so they would not interfere with the disuption of the news elements with the left side coloum. Plus I think the airdates will get longer once our internationial users start putting up their airdates. So everything will balance out I think for Season 3. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 23:48, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

| ==Region 4 Season 2 DVD new Slimline Set==
| |
| | |
| Can we please include the new Region 4 release set for 16 August 2006 for Australia [http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/787854]. This is an Australian Store. I have made several edits in the Mini series and Season 1 DVD set to include the Region 2, 4, and 5. Im unsure that it includes all episodes, but i would assume it would be the case as for it being Season 2 not Season 2.0, and having a price tag of AU$80 and of course being released after the full season 2 was aired. --[[User:Lgamser|Lgamser]] 23:35, 13 June 2006 (CDT)

| == Proposal to Open Wiki to Unregistered Users ==
| |
| | |
| I think the time has come, or close to it to re-open the Wiki to all users without the need to register. We have the tools, the policy, the people, to support a full time 24/7 operation of keeping the wiki in check. We also have the most imporatnat policy [[BW:PRO]] (in progress) for information to be keeped sucure. With the summer starting and October coming up quickly and the new found acess to the [[BW:OC]] page, it would be nice to see some other contribuations from real outsiders.
| |
| | |
| I don't know if this should be done right away, but we need some sort of guidelines worked on in [[BW:PRO]] and possaibliy [[BW:IP]] and we would need [[BW:PRI]] up and voted on. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 14:04, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

| :The problem, as Joe and others (before Joe created admin status to the wiki last fall) can vouch, involves zombie PCs that are used to spam the wiki by anonymous editing. Spammers don't adhere to policy, and nothing we write will keep a spammer from making a mess of things. We were hit a lot last summer by this problem until Joe restricted anonymous editing. Spammers still get on, but now they have to make a more concerted effort, and it appears its hardly worth their time. The latest MediaWiki update might have further flummoxed them, as well. I'm for requiring registered users; IPs are too anonymous, and I want to credit or blame someone for changes, as well as not have some yahoo wreck months of everyone's work. We really aren't on here 24/7, so I can't say that's an effective argument for reinstating this. We see quite a number of new users each week, and the rate increases when new episodes are in play, so I can't see how opening what is already an open wiki (registration needed) will do. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 17:23, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

| ::We are 24/7. Usually when most of us are asleep Mercifull is online and same with Ford. Our Euorpe is base is growing. [[BW:PRO|Protecting]] important pages [[BW:SAC]] and such can be protected. If people where giving the oppertunity to prove themself instead of admins & users hiding behind the curtain of signing up. I don't see alot of vandlism at the Memory Alpha wiki which has open editing. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 18:28, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

Quote of the day.
Why was the quote of the day section removed from the main page. That was one awesome section which automatically updated daily, and gave us some kind of dynamism in the main page.
