| Hey, Joe, if you look over at the [[BW:WQ|Quorum]], you'll see the discussion on how Sci-Fi's very own Wiki has been stealing some of their info from us here at Battlestar Wiki. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 21:22, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

| == Hi again from Wikia ==
| |
| | |
| Hi Joe,
| |
| | |
| I saw the discussion about hosting, it sounds like you decided to try something else for now. Best of luck with the adbrite tools. If it is of any value, we'd be happy to discuss hosting you with the following if you ever change your mind <br>
| |
| * Ads only on content pages for registered users (not on talk, history, edit, etc) if that makes the site cleaner and faster loading.
| |
| * Offering attribution, Youtube, easier photo uploading (try our image button), polling, mapping and a bunch of other extensions that have improved functionality
| |
| * Links from the wikia home page to help you grow
| |
| | |
| That said, I respect the desire to build what you have, so best of luck with a great site - I'm a fan of the show and of your work.
| |
| | |
| [http://world.wikia.com/wiki/User:Gil Gil] @ Wikia | |
| | |
| : Hi Gil! Thanks for your kind words! My team and I will look into the features you've mentioned above. You also mentioned something about a link from the Wikia home page. We can still do this, if you'd be willing. Basically, we would add you to our "Friends" box on our main page and you can link to us from the Wikia main page. Would this be feasible? Obviously, if something changes, I'll let you know. Thank you, again. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 10:24, 30 November 2006 (CST)

| ::Those are some really cool features, perhaps we could look into implementing a few of them here. I still have lots of concerns about moving to Wikia however, there would be a big increase in adverts on the whole wiki and of course if the site got popular enough to make a profit, you wouldn't see a penny of that Joe. I worry about the overall loss of control. The only real benefit is an already existing massive database of users already signed up and the advertising on a popular site. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 11:40, 30 November 2006 (CST)

| ==Requested Pages==
| |
| Joe, I don't think you should create requested pages if you don't have anything to fill them with. The red links encourage people to start articles - they don't see that nothing's there, they have no reason to contribute anything. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 01:43, 14 December 2006 (CST)
| |
| :The {{tl|requested}} tag however adds things to the [[Battlestar Wiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]], which people can then see to add pages for. By adding the requested tag things are actually listed rather than only appearing on the "broken links" page --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 03:50, 14 December 2006 (CST)

| ::[[Special:Wantedpages]] serves the same function, and is the better choice, IMO. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 14:00, 14 December 2006 (CST)
| |
| : Actually, the reason for ''requesting'' (as opposed to merely linking and thus having to deal with the "red link" effect) is for the benefit of [[Battlestar Wiki:Tasks]]. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 17:30, 14 December 2006 (CST)
| |
| ::And why is this worth losing the red links? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 06:00, 15 December 2006 (CST)
| |
| :::I think that having a list of pages wanted on the community portal might entice people to actually create those pages rather than wading though the red links. The majority of the red links are French anyway or direct links to images. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 06:47, 15 December 2006 (CST)
| |
| :::As Mercifull rightfully points out, a majority of the red links are mainly links in articles being translated, as well as defunct image and talk pages that do not exist yet. Also, [[Special:Wantedpages]] isn't particularly user friendly for those uninitiated in the ways of the wiki, and I say that viewing the wantedpages listing using a "customer" or non-technical user POV. The wantedpages feature on Mediawiki is very much structured to be used by the veterans or wiki-inclined. The ultimate goal is to make things as user friendly as possible. Any articles that '''really''' need to be created are deeply buried in the 700+ red links on that page. On a related note, I've noted that [[MemoryAlpha:Special:Recentchanges|Memory Alpha's RC page]] has a brief task list at the top. I feel that we would only benefit from having something similar as well. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 15:54, 15 December 2006 (CST)
