This noticeboard is a location to discuss and coordinate administrative tasks for the Battlestar Wiki.

It is our hope that this place can serve as a location for administrators to coordinate their efforts on the maintenance tasks of the Wiki (it's not ALL fun and games), as well as a spot for our contributors to be able to bring things to the attention of the admins if something needs to be done. Need a protected page edited? An article or picture deleted? Admins will watchlist this page so that your request won't get lost in the shuffle.

User rename

If possible, could someone please change my username from Sgalovan to "Galjamspe". Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sgalovan (talk • contribs).

Done. Let us know if you have any issues! -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 01:59, 19 March 2008 (CDT)

CAP == Caprica (series)

Any objections? Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 12:28, 19 March 2008 (CDT)

Well, we still could use "RDM" as the acronym... it is in the same universe, after all. It's not like we're talking about TOS vs. 1980 here. :P -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 13:23, 19 March 2008 (CDT)

CAP = "Combat Air Patrol" for me. We don't need a separate Caprica disambiguation. I totally agree with Joe. It's the same universe and information can be included into the normal RDM articles. -- Serenity 14:04, 19 March 2008 (CDT)

Some of the information might be, however, I believe that if we have new technology/people to organize in the category system, I would not like to put a category RDM that is for mostly the new stuff. :| And yes.. I already changed it, so I can create a new portal. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 15:50, 19 March 2008 (CDT)

Caprica should really be a subset of the RDM category. RDM is, in my view, an all encompassing category that includes both the new BSG and any spinoffs. Also, for all we know, Caprica may very well be a one-shot deal. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 17:56, 19 March 2008 (CDT)

Seems the RDM acronym isn't so unfortunate now as it appeared to be. This would be worse if it were something like TNS. -- Serenity 17:58, 19 March 2008 (CDT)

I concur now. RDM is fortuitious. We don't need something separate save for name conflicts with TOS and other items. --Spencerian 18:11, 19 March 2008 (CDT)

Wiki speed?

Is it just me, or is the Wiki faster now that we've upgraded to MW 1.12? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 02:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Not just you. I noticed it. I was watiing for a normal user to notice. :) But oh well. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 04:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

What, I'm not normal enough for you? :P -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 04:38, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I plead the 5th to answer this in a public forum. :) Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 04:46, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I think we'll get an answer to that next week, when the S4 premiere has aired. We also have memcached now, which'll help improve performance too. What's the status on APC? --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 11:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

For the record, this 'normal user' has certainly noticed the faster wiki. :) Veepz 16:09, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
