Talk:2013 project for the wiki




 * Still working on Item: Namespace project, just finished up one semester in school, about to start another. Probably about 3-4 weeks I'll take another big swing at it and knock out another chunk.
 * related project : mediawiki date tagging (Template:GameRevisionDates, MediaWiki:GameRevisionDates) - Tech has finished it. Found release dates for Alpha and initial Beta releases and added to date tagging template/system message.
 * I've wanted to make some modifications to the Recent Changes RSS/Atom feed, which is different from the launcher feed you guys are talking about, but haven't been able to figure out where those system messages or whatever drives/formats them are.
 * Current format is " $1\nBy $2 "
 * I am hoping to make it more like " At $3, $4, $2, $5:\n$1 "
 * $1 is the name of the page.
 * $2 is the editor of the page.
 * $3 is the time of the edit.
 * $4 is the date of the edit.
 * $5 is the action of the edit.
 * Edited
 * Created
 * Deleted
 * Moved
 * Protected
 * Etc...
 * Auto-cat in templates... Just point me to the templates, and I'll take a look. I'm sure I can come up with something.  If they're item effect templates, then they are already on my list of to-fix with Item: Namespace.  Only need to point out "other" templates...
 * was really driving me nuts with whatever he was trying to do. I think a more defined policy might be needed.

These are just my responses to your list... I'm sure I can add a few things of my own when I have a few minutes to clear my mind and think about it. ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; ) 13:24, December 31, 2012 (EST)


 * Everything's looking good. I personally don't care for the 100% width on the RSS feed, looks like a giant banner ad, IMO... I tinkered with it in my sandbox a little while back, but didn't want to step on any toes implementing it (squishing boxes around on the home page and what-not). Let me know what y'all think.

 * The part of the Item: Namespace project that is visible to end users is done. I still need to do some background work and cleanup all of the "What links here" pages, but that is on hold until I get Internet back at hame and can run the bot.
 * MediaWiki date tagging (Template:GameRevisionDates, MediaWiki:GameRevisionDates) project is completed.
 * Auto-cat in templates... Just point me to the templates, and I'll take a look. I'm sure I can come up with something.  If they're item effect templates, then they are already on my list of to-fix with Item: Namespace.  Only need to point out "other" templates...
 * is still driving me nuts with whatever he tries to do. I have chatted with him a bit on IRC, and I understand that most of my frustration is a language barrier and I am working to understand and try and make everything work well for everyone as best as can reasonably be done.  I think a more defined policy still needs to be made.

These are just my responses to your list... I'm sure I can add a few things of my own when I have a few minutes to clear my mind and think about it (which I never seem to have, checking out my todo page is always a good place to look). ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; ) 13:43, March 12, 2013 (EDT)
