| | | | |
| − | Hi, Solar. I was just thinking about the wiki logo and how good it is compared to some. However, it really does need "Wikisimpsons" to appear on the logo somewhere. I ''would'' do it myself, but I don't know if I have the right software and skill to do it. Maybe it could be written using the simpsons font, similar to whats been done with the "wikia" logo? And then underneath, maybe, "The Simpsons Wiki" or something like that? Seeing as this wiki seems to be getting more popular and "going up in the world", as it is, I think adding this would help. What do you think? Prehaps somebody else could make the change if you don't have the time etc? [[User:Effluvium|Effluvium]] 20:25, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

| − | ==New Wiki Skin==
| + | Hello there Solar Dragon,<br> |
| − | Hi, Solar. Have you had a chance to check out the new beta on the Glee, Twilight, Red Dead Redemption, Muppet, and Healthy Living Wikis? What do you think? I saw you signed the petition to stop Wikia going ahead with it - I singed it too. Im not fussed on it, to be honest. Do you think Wikia will listen to us editors, or will they go ahead with it regardless. I'd like to see how Wikisimpsons would look with the new skin, shame it isn't being used in the beta testing... [[User:Effluvium|Effluvium]] 20:54, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
| + | Actually, manually copy/pasting articles might be a problem because they could be copyright violations. That is why the complete article history has to be imported, to avoid issues with copyrights. And the manually copied articles may also clutter up the article history or cause other problems during the import process. --[[User:Jedimca0|'''Jedimca0''']]<staff/><sup>([[User talk:Jedimca0|talk]])</sup> 17:54, 12 October 2010 (UTC) |

He does not seem to be acting out of malice, which is why I left a note instead of a warning. He may show up on your talk page, another admin's, or even mine with some questions, so I figured I'd leave you a heads-up.

I've already told him a couple of times that using redirects is just fine (to type just <nowiki>[[Homer]]</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[Homer Simpson|Homer]]</nowiki>, for example) but he seems to be insisting on doing it the long way around, making a bunch of unnecessary edits. I first dropped him a line about it on his talk page, then he replied on mine, and I added some more on his. He said he doesn't like redirects (which I sort of understand ... I've seen wikis that steered away from using them), but since our style is that they're perfectly acceptable, and in fact encouraged, then IMO he should respect the style (and avoid going to a bunch of unnecessary trouble). -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 19:25, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

| + | No doubt you have seen the commercials for "Bob's Burgers", the new Fox show. I have made a wiki regarding it and would like to suggest a partnership? |
| − | considering us as an alternative to Wikia. We are aware that many
| |
| − | people are rather upset about Wikia's plans to force yet another skin
| |
| − | on their wikis, which causes extra work to the administrators of a
| |
| − | wiki.
| |
| − | A database dump would indeed be an easy way to import all your
| |
| − | articles to ShoutWiki. We also have an extension that gives users the
| |
| − | ability to import their user account to ShoutWiki; this process is
| |
| − | very transparent and users practically won't even notice the
| |
| − | difference as they can log in with their Wikia credentials. Attracting
| |
| − | contributors to the wiki would be up to you, but if you can get most
| |
| − | (maybe even all) of the admins to support a move then most of the
| |
| − | community might follow. Do take into account though that when you do
| |
| − | move, you will most likely lose your adminship on the Wikia wiki and
| |
| − | Wikia will continue maintaining their version of your wiki. That has
| |
| − | happened to other wikis that have moved off Wikia in the past.
| |
| − | On the subject of blogs, ShoutWiki has no plans or intentions to add
| |
| − | blogs to wikis. Though, userpages and user subpages work nicely for
| |
| − | that purpose. As a matter of fact, some wikis used them in a way
| |
| − | similar to blogs before Wikia introduced the blogs.
| |
| | | | |
| − | On ShoutWiki, you can choose the skin from many options, with the
| + | ~DS |
| − | classical Monobook being the most popular skin. There are two themes
| + | [http://bobsburgers.shoutwiki.com/ Bob's Burgers Wiki] |
| − | available for Monobook: Dark and Pink. You can test these out on
| |
| − | ShoutWiki Hub, for example (see
| |
| − | http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page?useskin=monobook&usetheme=dark
| |
| − | and http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page?useskin=monobook&usetheme=pink).
| |
| − | Other available skins are the older Cologne Blue and the newer Modern
| |
| − | skin. After we have upgraded our version of the MediaWiki software to
| |
| − | 1.16, the Vector skin will also be available.
| |
| − | In the future we will also have more skins available as premium (paid)
| |
| − | features; including the ever-popular Monaco skin! If you're interested
| |
| − | in these, feel free to check out our Premium Examples Wiki at
| |
| − | http://premium.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Special:Preferences.

| − | I wish you hadn't gotten yourself blocked, because I'm pretty sure a move would be a bad idea. Before, I was sold because I thought this wikia would have to start over. Instead, it will remain as it is. It also has the benefit of being older, being higher in google, being part of wikia and having more IP users. Sure, it would lose a lot of editors, but more would come. As much as I hate the new skin, this whole time I've been trying to urge users to stay calm, think things through and wait until the new skin is implemented. Instead, you got yourself blocked and we now have a no-win situation: Stay, lose some of our top editors and compete against them; or move to a new site and compete against wikia. And, make no mistake about it, if we move, I'm sure they'll do everything they can to bring in new users. -- [[User:Brian McClure|Brian McClure]] 17:16, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

| − | :Well, you are right about one thing. Even if we get a wave of older users who have a lot of edits come and oppose a move, I will still be moving. We can increase our Google rank. It will take work and effort but I reckon we could be able to get on the first page for the search term Wikisimpsons. Of course Wikia will try to get new users. Someone will try to draw them to the other wiki. We have plans to change this wiki. Come on IRC to find out. I bet staff are patrolling my page and I don't want them to know.

| − | ::Don't you realize that the wikia people KNOW that you're going to try to sabotage the site on your way out and thus will be watching for anything suspicious? This is just like the conflict we had a few months back - you got yourself blocked and now editors are either with you or against you. I want nothing to do with any of this. One side there's a group of paid people who make money off people's volunteering who don't give a damn about us. On the other side is a group of volunteers who are over-reacting, would rather create drama than edit and are doing as much as wikia to scare away new editors. This whole idiotic situation has sapped what little will I had to contribute to this (or any new) site. -- [[User:Brian McClure|Brian McClure]] 17:39, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

I am an admin on 2 wikas and I am thinking of moving away from it. Shoutwiki.com is one of 2 alternatives. Can you, please, tell me why did you choose Shoutwiki as a new server?

Is the database dump going to bring in the user pages too or should I recreate mine? Bshardy 06:04, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
No doubt you have seen the commercials for "Bob's Burgers", the new Fox show. I have made a wiki regarding it and would like to suggest a partnership?
