Favicon

Joe... I'm not sure when you did it, but the new favicon appears... garbled in my Firefox. I think it's because of the image scaling. I'm guessing that it's just the logo shrunk down way. Personally, I think such a small picture should be MUCH simpler. Just thought I'd weigh in on that. I'm not demanding a change or anything, just piping up. --Day (Talk - Admin) 00:27, 14 May 2006 (CDT)


Email Validation (2)

Earlier i posted to your talk page about the problems I was having with email validation. Well I kinda forgot about it for a while but the issue has cropped up again now I am an administrator of thw wiki. I posted more details about it to the Admins noticeboard. The email address that i am trying to validate is mattsims@evilmerc.com Cheers --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 15:08, 1 July 2006 (CDT)

Maybe some experimentation could be done over at the hangarbay to try to troubleshoot this? --Steelviper 12:19, 6 July 2006 (CDT)
I didnt get an email from the hangarbay wiki either. Possibly a problem with the way its set up on the server? --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 07:51, 10 July 2006 (CDT)

Subpages + Bot

Well.. I noticed something. Subpages for the User, Battlestar Wiki talk, and possaible some other namespaces. Maybe just turn them all on so it works as used. See Battlestar Wiki:Sandbox/Temp and Battlestar Wiki:Sandbox/Temp/Temp1 for examples. I can also work on the task bot if Perl is complied into PHP. --Shane (T - C - E) 14:15, 25 July 2006 (CDT)

The bot might be ready to run again. I uploaded a whole bunch of fixes to the file. Post any errors to my email. Run it using perl taskbot.pl OPENTASK_UPDATE --Shane (T - C - E) 13:21, 26 July 2006 (CDT)
No idea where to put this, but maybe the trusted group could get Patrol status. Patrol is just something to watch mark changes that they were seen. --Shane (T - C - E) 16:00, 27 July 2006 (CDT)
UPDATE: http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&hidebots=0 - Bot is working. :) Now it just needs to be added to the cron to run every 4 or 6 hours.


Setting up a mirror

MediaBlvd would like to offer up some of our server space and bandwidth as a mirror, if that would be useful. Great job here, all involved.

Thanks for the offer! I'll try to get in contact with you in the next few days to iron out details. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 09:30, 4 August 2006 (CDT)
Side note... we should really setup this also joe.
  • www.battlestar.org (Splash Page)
  • en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki (english)
  • de.battlestarwiki.org/wiki (german)
  • es.battlestarwiki.org/wiki (spanish)
  • hb.battlestarwiki.org/wiki (Test Wiki)
  • media-0.battlestar.org/wiki (Media File Repository; Our Inital Media Resository)
    • Interactive Files (Images)
  • media-1.battlestar.org/wiki (Media File Repository; Could Be Net Ranger's Server, but out link)
    • Interactive Files (Video, Sound, and Images)

...and all sharing the same user databases.... so we didn't have to create usersnames for everyone. We move all the images to the File Repositories. --Shane (T - C - E) 14:52, 5 August 2006 (CDT)

Good News/Bad News

Doing some work on the MediaWiki talk:Edittools markup, I was trying to figure out why the markup was always driving us crazy. It was because of the current skin js code. So let me break this down more...

  • Good News: The javascript code barily works with 1.7.1
  • Bad News: For it to get fully working correctly, one of the classic skins needs to be enabled.

So... I'm a digging in the hangerbay and working on my CSS code and update the Hangerbay with 1.7.1 and also fix up my two skins with the new javascript. That's about it. :-) --Shane (T - C - E) 14:32, 3 August 2006 (CDT)

Also need a quick run on the maintenance/update.php on the hangerbay so it's to date with 1.7.1
Update: I did a manuall update. No worries now. :) --Shane (T - C - E) 11:34, 5 August 2006 (CDT)
