Review extension

We may want to add a Review extension in the near future to gain feedback from our readers. Thoughts? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 11:41, 27 December 2007 (CST)

It may be a good way to grade a quality article. --Spencerian 19:46, 27 December 2007 (CST)

Good point. I was thinking, though, that the results could be published privately so that only administrators can see them. Theoretically, this would give us the feedback we need to see what people actually like or dislike, without demoralizing any contributors. Also, the person voting won't be swayed by voting for or against any visible "grain", as it were, since they won't be able to see the results of the votes either.

SVG broken at HB

SVG rendering seems to be broken at the Hangar Bay, which is kind of ironic as its purpose is to play around with new designs :) --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 10:52, 3 January 2008 (CST)

Yeah, at this point, I think it's best if we start the Hangar Bay's MW install on that from scratch. (It has a separate MW installation than the rest of the Wikis, so this is easy to do.) -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 15:28, 5 January 2008 (CST)

Incorrect interwiki binding

The rc: interwiki prefix is currently bound to "http://www.robotchicken.org/$1", but that should be "http://www.robotchicken.org/index.php?title=$1". --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 14:53, 5 January 2008 (CST)

It's now fixed. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 15:27, 5 January 2008 (CST)
