 +
[20:10] <@Cook879> Cool
 +
[20:10] <+supergeeky1> But again, it won't be for a few weeks.  I have a large workload ahead of me that needs to be completed by November.

[20:10] <Phinbart> http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Wikisimpsons:Editor_meetings/October_15th
 +
[20:11] <+supergeeky1> o.0
 +
[20:11] <+supergeeky1> Is the meeting over, or did you just get ahead of yourself?
 +
[20:11] <+AleWi> The meeting is not over
 +
[20:11] <@Cook879> We do it every 15 mins or so
 +
[20:12] <Phinbart> Next topic: Moving pages over to the merchandise wiki.
 +
[20:12] <+supergeeky1> Ah.  Alrighty then.
 +
[20:12] <@Cook879> brb
 +
[20:12] == Cook879 has changed nick to Cook879|BRB
 +
[20:12] <+AleWi> I have move one article today
 +
[20:12] <+AleWi> The comics is hardest to do
 +
[20:13] <+supergeeky1> Are all of Merch's articles copied from Wikisimpsons, or are some of them original?
 +
[20:13] <+AleWi> Some is copied and some orginal
 +
[20:13] <Phinbart> Some are original.
 +
[20:13] <+supergeeky1> Mmm.
 +
[20:14] <+AleWi> They do not have a lot of visitors
 +
[20:14] <+Doh5678> True
 +
[20:14] <+AleWi> Starting to think the wiki was a little bad idea
 +
[20:15] <+Doh5678> Why?
 +
[20:15] <+supergeeky1> Uh... considering the wiki was created only several weeks ago, that's way too soon to decide.
 +
[20:16] <+AleWi> They are hard to find what you want
 +
[20:16] <+supergeeky1> The Wikisimpsons community isn't that large in itself, so I wouldn't have any high expectations for Merchandise for another year or so.
 +
[20:16] <Phinbart> I was gonna say interpret the merch. wiki into the main wiki before the merch. wiki was created, but now...it's created...
 +
[20:16] <@Cook879|BRB> back
 +
[20:16] == Cook879|BRB has changed nick to Cook879
 +
[20:17] <+Doh5678> So if the wiki's a failure, what do we do
 +
[20:17] <+Doh5678> ?
 +
[20:17] <@Cook879> I agree with supergeeky1 its too early to deem the wiki as a failure or not
 +
[20:17] <Phinbart> Next topic: Main page at Merchandise wiki
 +
[20:17] <+Doh5678> IF
 +
[20:17] <@Cook879> I was typing that before you posted Doh5678
 +
[20:17] <@Cook879> Why move on - we're still chatting
 +
[20:18] <+supergeeky1> I do have to agree with AleWi on his last point, though.  It's incredibly hard to sift through pages.
 +
[20:18] <@Cook879> Also AleWi - I know what you mean about red links for comics -  nothing really we can do about that
 +
[20:18] <+AleWi> Many people who seeking information are not there
 +
[20:19] <+AleWi> They can not find what they are looking after
 +
[20:19] <@Cook879> The wiki does lack structure - we need templates, lists and categories made as well as articles themselves
 +
[20:19] <+Doh5678> http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Fakelink
 +
[20:20] <+Doh5678> That's sort of a way around the red link
 +
[20:20] <@Cook879> How?
 +
[20:20] <+AleWi> How?
 +
[20:20] <@Cook879> We want red links to appear
 +
[20:20] <+Doh5678> The link is blue even though it's ment to be red
 +
[20:21] <+Doh5678> just reverse it
 +
[20:21] <+Doh5678> And make it an actual link
 +
[20:21] <+supergeeky1> I don't get what that would be used for.
 +
[20:21] <+supergeeky1> Are we talking about linking to merchandise wiki, or something else?
 +
[20:22] <@Cook879> from Merch to main
 +
[20:22] <+supergeeky1> Ah.
 +
[20:22] <@Cook879> We have many comic stories that have no page so Comics are linking to non-existent pages and are not red links
 +
[20:22] == supergeeky1 has changed nick to SG1|Clitoris
 +
[20:23] <Phinbart> OH!
 +
[20:23] <+AleWi> If it was a namespace, it worked

[20:24] <+AleWi> Hi supergeeky1
 +
[20:24] <+AleWi> supergeeky1 has changed nick to SG1|Clitoris??
 +
[20:24] <supergeeky1> Hi.  Sorry.  I switched over to my Mac so that I can type more easily.
 +
[20:24] <Phinbart> Next topic: Seymour Skinner continuity
 +
[20:24] <+AleWi> Who is supergeeky1?
 +
[20:24] <@Cook879> 2 other options - Ignore it or make short stubs
 +
[20:24] <@Cook879> wait Phinbart
 +
[20:24] <@Cook879> Didn't you say Merch main page was next?
 +
[20:24] <+Doh5678> No next topic is: Main page at Merchandise wiki
 +
[20:24] <supergeeky1> Yeah, Phinbart keeps skipping topics.
 +
[20:25] <+AleWi> Main page at Merchandise wiki  is next
 +
[20:25] <@Cook879> It isn't a race Phinbart :P
 +
[20:25] <@Cook879> AleWi - how easy would it be to create stubs for all the comic stories we need?
 +
[20:25] <+Doh5678> brb twoillet
 +
[20:26] <+AleWi> It goes without the plot
 +
[20:26] <Phinbart> TwoilleT?
 +
[20:27] <+Doh5678> Fake french
 +
[20:27] <@Cook879> Yeah - just a basic 1 line summary
 +
[20:27] <+AleWi> It us possible without the plot
 +
[20:27] <+AleWi> *is
 +
[20:28] <@Cook879> That's a theasible option - I'll help if you want - Just move the page and i'll do any pages left over
 +
[20:28] <+Doh5678> Or just redirect
 +
[20:28] <@Cook879> So redirect back to the page they just came from?
 +
[20:28] <+Doh5678> To the english
 +
[20:29] <@Cook879> But that's the thing - we need to create the pages on English first :P
 +
[20:29] <+AleWi> It is not easy
 +
[20:30] <@Cook879> I don't mean anything big - a template, the sentence about where its from then a 1-2 line summary, like "Bart gets in trouble for pulling a prank" that kinda thing
 +
[20:31] <@Cook879> We solve the problem and get more pages that will gain searches - even if they are stubs

Revision as of 14:32, October 15, 2011

[20:00] <Phinbart> Meeting to order!
[20:00] <Phinbart> The counter's going up.
[20:00] <@Cook879> :P
[20:00] <+AleWi> The time is plus now 45. 46, 47
[20:00] <Phinbart> main page redesign
[20:00] <@Solar_Dragon> I think my dinner's almost ready
[20:00] <+supergeeky1> It's trolling us.
[20:00] <+supergeeky1> Who's leading this meeting?
[20:00] <@Cook879> just ate mine
[20:01] <Phinbart> Solar? Are you?
[20:01] <@Cook879> Though in 10 mins or so i'll have to do a brb
[20:01] <@Solar_Dragon> I'm having dinner in a minute so I can't!
[20:01] <@Solar_Dragon> Someone needs to make a log of the meeting too
[20:01] <Phinbart> Cook an can lead, then...
[20:01] <Phinbart> I am!
[20:02] <Phinbart> an can :)
[20:02] <+supergeeky1> Same.  I've logged everything from the past four years.
[20:02] <@Solar_Dragon> Okay, firstly, anyone with eBay, buy mah stuff! http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/solardragon2010/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686 >:(
[20:02] <Phinbart> Didn't know you had an eBay account.
[20:02]  * Cook879 note to self - remove soloar's link :P
[20:03] <Phinbart> No Simpsons!
[20:03] <@Solar_Dragon> XD
[20:03] <@Solar_Dragon> No Simpsons stuff, no
[20:03] <@Solar_Dragon> Doctor Who and Top Trumps atm :P
[20:03] <Phinbart> Why no Simpsons stuff?
[20:03] <Phinbart> Ahem...main page redesign!
[20:03] <@Solar_Dragon> Because I don't have any Simpsons stuff I want to sell :P
[20:04] <@Cook879> Anyway mainpage redisgn - someone design - we vote - simples
[20:04] <@Solar_Dragon> I was thinking of the tabber extension but apparently it's dangerous XD
[20:05] <Phinbart> Dangerous?
[20:05] <@Solar_Dragon> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Tabber
[20:05] <@Solar_Dragon> Security risk :P
[20:05] <Phinbart> Right.
[20:06] <+AleWi> I think we didn't use that
[20:06] <@Solar_Dragon> I want to use it though :P
[20:06] <@Solar_Dragon> I'm sure we'll be fine using it
[20:06] <+Doh5678> There's a fix
[20:06] <@Solar_Dragon> Exactly
[20:07] <Phinbart> If any accounts get hijacked, I'm blaming it on you! :P
[20:07] <+supergeeky1> Honestly, unless I'm missing something, I wouldn't bother with the tabber extension.  It's just as easy to make it with CSS and wiki code.
[20:08] <@Solar_Dragon> Really?
[20:08] <@Solar_Dragon> Anyway, I got to go and eat now
[20:08] <@Solar_Dragon> Bai!
[20:08] <+supergeeky1> Yeah, AFAIK.  Darthipedia uses something similar for a few paes.
[20:08] <+supergeeky1> *pages
[20:08] <+supergeeky1> http://darthipedia.com/wiki/Darthipedia:Featured_Sithspawn
[20:08] == Solar_Dragon has changed nick to SD|FOOD
[20:08] <@Cook879> Is anyone thinking of making a design?
[20:09] <+supergeeky1> It's a bit primitive compared to tabber, but it can be worked on.
[20:09] <Phinbart> Not me. I'm not that good with making main pages.
[20:09] <+supergeeky1> As for a main page design, I was planning on developing one myself in the coming weeks.
[20:09] <Phinbart> Though for the merch.wiki.
[20:10] <+supergeeky1> Right.  I'll probably work on a main page design for Merchandise Wiki first.  Then develop it further for Wikisimpsons.
