| == How do you sign up to be a mirror? ==
| |
|
| |
| Hey all, I'm the webmaster of bsgtns.com and one of the owners of MediaBlvd. We think this is a pretty cool thing that you have here, and would like to offer up some server space for a mirror. MB has 6 high end servers, and good deals on bandwidth. I might be missing how to go about that, as I'm fairly new to this space. I did want to say that I really like the concept though, and I spent several hours going thru the Wiki yesterday, and liked what I saw enough to want to be involved-- NetRanger
| |
| :[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|talk to joe]]. I think usually the mirror deals with running the software of mediawiki and one site having access to the other and vice-versa. Joe is currently sick. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 19:12, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

| |
| Admins can help in the circus I created named [[State of the Wiki II]]. I protected the article so that we can corral the talk page commentary to correct the agregious formatting, bias, lack of bias, and all other ills. This is arguably the worst article I've ever made. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 22:17, 14 August 2006 (CDT)

| Did there used to be a buttton thart did this on my Watchlist? Often, I'll read a diff, rather than the actual article, but I would like it unbolded all the same. I could've sworn there used to be a button that said "Mark all articles as Visited" or something like that.

| == Login Problems ==
| |
|
| |
| Hello, since the update to the new MediaWiki-Software and the move to the new URL I (and probably everyone else) cannot login to the [http://de.battlestarwiki.org German BSW] anymore. It tells me there is no user Astfgl but the [[:de:User:Astfgl|Userpage]] still exists. Do I have to recreate my account? If so, will my current userstats be lost? (I'm afraid they already are.) -- [[User:Astfgl|Astfgl]] 03:20, 23 August 2006 (CDT)
| |
| :I can re-do the stats. I just need you to register. Can you contact me over Gtalk? I need to talk with you also about something. I sent you an email with my email address through the BSG wiki system. In any case, go ahead and REGSITER your name over there excatly with the same settings here, username, etc, and I will run the script that will re-link you to your edit count. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 03:24, 23 August 2006 (CDT)

| |
| Just to let everyone know, I have taken an executive decision and have banned [[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] from the wiki. My explaination of it [[Battlestar Wiki:The Merovingian Ban|is here]]. I did this last night prior to heading off to bed (as it turned out, it was a good decision, in light of the fact that Ernesto severely weakened upon leaving Cuba and I had to go in this morning after all), so I forgot to post the link here. If anyone needs to talk, please use the [[Battlestar Wiki talk:The Merovingian Ban|talk page of the decision in question]].

| This may not be the proper place to bring this to the attention of the community, but my limited knowledge and even more limited intelligence affords me no better alternative. Hot Topic now has Battlestar t-shirts. One has the seal of the "Vigilantes" squadron, and the other says "What the Frak?" with a Colonial emblem on the back.
