Questions

Hi, you welcomed me yesterday - I usually edit another wiki with an ongoing discussion of funding and hosting. I was interested in the way your wiki works. You seem to be A.) Independent from a host (i.e. you don't have host that has any say in waht you do, or you host yoursleves completly?) and B.) You have user payed subscription along with advertising - Does this work well? Also Wikia has its own battlestar wiki free of adverts and is free to use - however its mostly abadoned - which seems odd if you have to pay to get an ad free use on this one? I hope you don't mind me pestering:) Sycamore 15:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Request

Hello.

I come to you because I need your help. I started to update the french part of the wiki, to translate various pages from the english one, to import templates the french wiki didn't use yet etc etc. I noticed you were looking for somebody to manage the french wiki. I do not exactly know what it'd be about, but let's say I'm quite interested in this.

The reason of my message is simple. I updated the Episode List (not the template, only the wikipage) and had to do some modifications, involving accents, missing or useless capital letters, and special letters. I think i'm done, however these modifications broke several links to episode pages.

I know it is possible to hide them on screen, but that would not be quite clean, that's why I tried to rename the pages who needed it... unsuccessfully, since I'm not allowed to do it. Could you please grant me the correct permissions, so that I could rename the pages with a correct typography ? Afterwoods, when there is no more broken links on the "episode list" wiki page, I shall update de "episode list" template page, and the episode infoboxes.

Thank you.

Alvine

French wiki

Thanks for your answer! You're right, there's a lot of work to do on the french wiki. The english one is really impressive. Too bad nobody here tried to translate more articles. Take the helm ? That would be with pleasure. As soon as you give me the right to rename/move pages, I'll try to make it right. That's not a hard work ; more a very very long one :) ; Anyway, I love it.

Thank you for everything. alvine 15:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)Alvine

Guest stars

Hello. Thanks for your note on my talk page. I believe it is in reference to my removal of some actors (i.e. Michael Hogan, Tahmoh Penikett, Kandyse McClure, Michael Trucco, Allessandro Giuliani) from the guest stars section of season 4 episodes. I don't plan to take this any further back (you suggest that I might continue on as far as season 1) as these actors were in fact guest stars in earlier seasons and are correctly listed as such. I have removed them from the season four sections as they became part of the starring cast at the beginning of season 4 and are no longer guest stars. I don't see any need to propose this to the think tank as it is a cut and dry error correction. If you would like to make some kind of proposal regarding these edits please let me know and I'll happily reproduce my rationale there.--Opark 77 21:48, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you! I'm currently updating the french wiki templates (translating the english ones). Since I translate the documentation, the code, and the templates' names, there may be some issues involving missing templates, or templates whose name is still in english (and thence not found when they are called)... This shall be fixed soon. Good news for the interwiki bot. I added the interwiki links by myself into templates pages because it is simpler to use an interwiki link than typing the entire URL everytime I had to go back and forth through each language versions... Thank you for all. We keep in touch. alvine 11:39, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Namespaces

Hi!

Sorry to bother you again. I'm still modifying many things on the french part of the site, and I need you again... for namespaces problems. With the french localization, the main namespaces were modified to french ones. However, the misc. namespaces (i.e. added with extensions of the wiki software) were not updated to french. I'm trying to have almost all the wiki translated to French, and these english namespaces look weird. Can you help me ? Here is a list of the translations I need:

English namespaces needing translation into French

< English namespaces >	< French equivalents >
Portal	Portail
Portal talk	Discussion portail
Sources talk	Discussion sources
Quotes	Citations
Quotes talk	Discussion citations
Podcast talk	Discussion podcast

There is a mediawiki [extension] designed to manage namespaces.

Thank you for reading me again and again, day after day :) (and double thank you + good luck if you accept to translate those things).

Permissions issues

Thanks for the quick work on the Wiki Frakr permissions issue, I'm seeing the same problem when I try to access Battlestar Pegasus. JubalHarshaw 18:06, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I havn't restored those databases yet. Shane (talk) 18:11, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
