Wikisimpsons:Editor meetings/March 10th 2012

Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
[20:00] <Randomno> Now.
[20:00] * Phinbart (5770b71f@gateway/web/freenode/ip.87.112.183.31) has joined #wikisimpsons
[20:00] <Phinbart> Here for the meeting
[20:00] <Randomno> Hi, Phinbart.
[20:00] <Phinbart> Hi guys
[20:00] <Randomno> Meeted JUST started.
[20:00] <FatHomer> Hello!
[20:00] <Randomno> About 20 seconds ago.
[20:03] <FatHomer> Ok...
[20:03] <Randomno> Okay, first things, first: Mobile site.
[20:03] <Phinbart> I think we should have one.
[20:03] <Randomno> Me too.
[20:03] <Phinbart> And, who's doing the transcript?
[20:03] <FatHomer> I like the idea
[20:03] <Randomno> We need a whole site too, as we need to simplify templates.
[20:03] <Randomno> *We'd
[20:03] <FatHomer> Yes
[20:03] <Randomno> Phinbart: What about transcripts?
[20:03] <Phinbart> Who's doing the transcript for the meeting?
[20:03] <Randomno> Oh, I can if you want.
[20:03] <FatHomer> Good
[20:03] <Phinbart> I was gonna suggest to do it, but meh
[20:03] <Randomno> It's starts here: "[20:00] <Randomno> Now.".
[20:03] <FatHomer> Where's AleWi?
[20:03] <Randomno> Solar_Dragon ?
[20:03] * Phinbart shrugs
[20:03] <@Cook879> how would we do it?
[20:03] <Phinbart> I don't think Solar's noticed that a meeting's on today.
[20:03] <Randomno> He's drunk.
[20:04] <@Cook879> He is cognizant
[20:04] <Randomno> Literally.
[20:04] <Phinbart> Cook, can you put on the sitenotice that the meeting's on now.
[20:04] <Randomno> Okay, whatever.
[20:04] <FatHomer> Solar is drunk?
[20:04] <@Cook879> done
[20:05] <Phinbart> Thanks
[20:05] <Phinbart> It would take a while to put together a mobile site, but...
[20:05] <Phinbart> m.simpsonswiki.net
[20:05] <FatHomer> Yes
[20:06] <FatHomer> We don't need m.simpsonswiki
[20:06] <Randomno> We need a SITE.
[20:06] <Phinbart> NO, m.simpsonswiki.net would be the address of the mobile site
[20:06] <Randomno> I know.
[20:06] <Randomno> Like WP.
[20:06] <FatHomer> The simpsonswiki.net can see if the user is using a phone
[20:06] <Randomno> We need to simplify templates. for it.
[20:07] <Randomno> *template for
[20:07] <FatHomer> Yes
[20:07] <Phinbart> I think we should work on the mobile site second.
[20:07] <FatHomer> .
[20:07] <Phinbart> First, I dunno
[20:07] <@Cook879> 17% of our viewers yesterday used a mobile device
[20:07] <FatHomer> That is many
[20:07] <Randomno> I can do templates.
[20:07] <Randomno> Pretty simple.
[20:08] <FatHomer> I think it's because of the Simpsons tapped out
[20:08] * Doh5678 (4e94e929@gateway/web/freenode/ip.78.148.233.41) has joined #wikisimpsons
[20:08] <Randomno> We're not getting as simple as en.m.wikipedia.org, though.
[20:08] <Randomno> Hi, Doh.
[20:08] <FatHomer> Hi
[20:08] <Doh5678> hello
[20:08] <@Cook879> Since records began it sits at around 10%
[20:08] <Doh5678> What are we discussing?
[20:09] <FatHomer> Mobile site
[20:09] <Phinbart> The mobile site
[20:09] <Doh5678> We have a mobile site?
[20:09] <Phinbart> To CREATE a mobile site
[20:09] <Randomno> Not yet.
[20:10] <Doh5678> Oh
[20:11] <Phinbart> Well, how about we discuss it with Jake first.
[20:11] <FatHomer> Yeah
[20:11] <Randomno> We can discuss the technical stuff with Jake, we need to decide on actually doing it, though.
[20:12] <Randomno> It's pretty much "Yes", though.
[20:12] <Phinbart> First, we should work on a design to see if it would work on a mobile.
[20:12] <@Cook879> Is there a mobile version of MediaWiki then?
[20:12] * Phinbart shrugs
[20:12] <Randomno> I have a mobile right next to me.
[20:12] <FatHomer> Yes
[20:12] <FatHomer> Ok
[20:13] <Phinbart> It would be cool if Wikisimpsons automatically detected if the viewer is using a mobile or not.
[20:13] <@Cook879> ok, so it would be just installing that then adjusting templates and what not?
[20:13] <Phinbart> Then it would redirect straight away to the mobil site.
[20:13] <Phinbart> *mobile
[20:13] <@Cook879> We do - or at least PiWik does - It takes every screen size and device
[20:14] <Randomno> I'm getting on to Wikisimpsons now on mobile.
[20:14] <FatHomer> It's easy to detect if it's a mobile r not
[20:14] <Randomno> The sidebar ends up a whole way down.
[20:14] <Phinbart> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile_browser_testing
[20:14] <TuxBot> [LINK] Mobile browser testing - MediaWiki
[20:14] <Phinbart> Uhhh!
[20:14] <Randomno> I have Opera Mini on my phone.
[20:14] <Phinbart> They should call it LinkBot instead of TuxBot
[20:15] <Randomno> !wird
[20:15] <Randomno> !word
[20:15] <TuxBot> The word is Mexicali's
[20:15] <FatHomer> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MobileFrontend used on Wikipedia
[20:15] <TuxBot> [LINK] MobileFrontend - MediaWiki
[20:15] <Randomno> Are we nearly done for mobile site?
[20:16] <Phinbart> I think so
[20:16] <Phinbart> Ok, Credit pages for issues of comics
[20:16] <Doh5678> Wouldn't it cost more for a mobile site?
[20:16] <Phinbart> Probably.
[20:16] <FatHomer> No
[20:16] <@Cook879> why Doh5678?
[20:16] <Phinbart> I would have thought so
[20:17] <@Cook879> Surely it's just using server space, like the sub wikis do
[20:17] <Phinbart> How about we discuss it more next meeting
[20:17] <Doh5678> Maybe
[20:18] <FatHomer> Ok
[20:18] <Phinbart> Credit pages for issues of comics
[20:18] <FatHomer> Ok
[20:18] <@Cook879> what about them?
[20:19] <FatHomer> Who added it?
[20:19] * Phinbart shrugs
[20:19] <Phinbart> I don't think we should have them.
[20:19] <@Cook879> wanna look at the history
[20:20] <@Cook879> ?
[20:20] <@Cook879> why not?
[20:20] <FatHomer> I think we should
[20:20] <Phinbart> Credits for comics are quite small
[20:20] <@Cook879> So - longer then many of our articles
[20:20] <Doh5678> It seems so pointless to have credits for comics if most of the people don't have articles
[20:21] <FatHomer> We should still have them
[20:21] <@Cook879> That's why we - this will shock you* make them!
[20:21] <FatHomer> It's a wiki, someone will create the pages
[20:21] <Doh5678> Good point
[20:21] <@Cook879> and it's easy to make when we have complete credits
[20:22] <FatHomer> Yes
[20:22] <FatHomer> Next subject?
[20:22] <Phinbart> New infobox for mobile/app games.
[20:23] <Phinbart> I think we should have one.
[20:23] <FatHomer> We should have that
[20:23] <Randomno> I'm working on a mobile site design.
[20:23] <FatHomer> Good :)
[20:23] <Doh5678> Infobox for those
[20:23] <@Cook879> How do they differ?
[20:24] <Phinbart> We could have like a "hide/show" for the icon, the main screen, and the trailer.
[20:24] <Phinbart> Just a suggestion.
[20:25] <@Cook879> I'd say make one and see how it goes
[20:25] <Phinbart> Maybe we should wait until more mobile games are released.
[20:25] <FatHomer> No
[20:26] <Doh5678> Make one now, seeing as we have articles for them
[20:26] <FatHomer> Next subject?
[20:26] <Phinbart> Improving The Simpsons: Tapped Out article.
[20:26] <Phinbart>  Expand gameplay, Extras, and References. Images for locations in Appearances need to be from the game.
[20:26] <FatHomer> Yes, that is important
[20:27] <Phinbart> Anyone have Tapped Out?
[20:27] <@Cook879> I plan to steal cjc's iPod to help
[20:27] <@Cook879> Might do it after i finish these credits
[20:27] <FatHomer> I do on the iPad
[20:27] <Doh5678> Nope
[20:27] <Phinbart> I'm hoping to get an iPod touch to play it on
[20:27] <Doh5678> Mainly because I have an android
[20:27] <Randomno> I'm doing transcript. Lazily.
[20:28] <Phinbart> Well, it's being released on Android in a few months.
[20:28] <Phinbart> FatHomer, which country do you live in again...
[20:28] <FatHomer> Sweden
[20:28] <Doh5678> I'll get it then, if it's free
[20:28] <Phinbart> Never mind then. I thought you lived in the US
[20:28] <FatHomer> I want to
[20:28] <FatHomer> ...
[20:29] <Phinbart> Images for locations in the Appearances tab need to be from the game.
[20:29] <Phinbart> Well, not NEED.
[20:29] <Randomno> Wait, FatHomer and AAALLLEEVVVIII!!!!!!! both live in Sweden?
[20:29] <FatHomer> Yes
[20:29] <@Cook879> Yes Randomno, keep up
[20:29] <Randomno> Meep meep.
[20:29] <Phinbart> I didn't know FatHomer lived in Sweden.
[20:29] <FatHomer> :)
[20:29] <Randomno> I only joined January 22, 2012.
[20:29] <Randomno> And made over 2,300 contributions.
[20:29] <Phinbart> I joined over a year ago.
[20:29] <Randomno> And you're behind me on contribs. :)
[20:30] <@Cook879> I joined x years ago
[20:30] <Phinbart> We need a game image for Lard Lad Donuts.
[20:30] <FatHomer> I'm glad you joined this wiki
[20:30] <Phinbart> Who?
[20:30] <Phinbart> Me or the Wikia guy?
[20:30] <@Cook879> Randomno
[20:30] <Randomno> Hey...
[20:30] <FatHomer> Wikia guy :)
[20:30] <Randomno> Well, Wikia was going down the cliff.
[20:30] <Doh5678> Bit-off topic: How did that moving over thing go?
[20:31] <Phinbart> I liked your main page design though on your user page
[20:31] <Randomno> http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Special:NewPages They create pages behind us.
[20:31] <TuxBot> [LINK] New pages - Simpsons Wiki
[20:31] <@Cook879> they only really trump 50 edits on the weekends
[20:31] <Randomno> http://simpsons.wikia.com/index.php?title=Paula_Paul&redirect=no Amd have TOO MANY editors.
[20:31] <TuxBot> [LINK] Paula Paul - Simpsons Wiki
[20:31] <Randomno> Who create bad pages.
[20:32] <@Cook879> You can't have too many editors though.
[20:32] <Phinbart> They don't even have a page for Tapped Out yet.
[20:32] <Phinbart> Neither does Wikipedia.
[20:32] <Randomno> http://simpsons.wikia.com/index.php?title=Them,_Robot&redirect=no That looks like an EXACT copy of ours.
[20:32] <@Cook879> I say, the sign of minor spammers means you're getting around
[20:32] <TuxBot> [LINK] Them, Robot - Simpsons Wiki
[20:32] <Randomno> The link is the same.
[20:32] <Doh5678> WTF is that thing at the bottom?
[20:33] <Phinbart> Right, let's get back on subject.
[20:33] <Randomno> Yeah, okay.
[20:33] <Phinbart> FatHomer, do you have Lard Lad Donuts in your Springfield yet,
[20:33] <Phinbart> ?
[20:34] <FatHomer> I havnt played that much yet...
[20:34] <FatHomer> In which lvl do you get it?
[20:34] <Phinbart> Level 10 I think
[20:34] <FatHomer> Ok
[20:35] <Phinbart> You could take photos of your town for us.
[20:35] <FatHomer> I think I could add a pic soon
[20:35] <Randomno> http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Springfield_Mayoral_Election,_1990.
[20:35] <FatHomer> Should all images be from the game?
[20:36] <FatHomer> ...
[20:36] <Randomno> What? ...
[20:36] <Phinbart> All images of locations
[20:37] <FatHomer> Yes
[20:37] <FatHomer> Next subject?

[20:37] <TuxBot> [LINK] The Simpsons: Tapped Out/Appearances - Wikisimpsons, the Simpsons Wiki
[20:37] <Phinbart> Putting {{scroll}} at the beginning and end of long tables.
[20:38] <@Cook879> NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
[20:38] <@Cook879> Why?!
[20:38] <FatHomer> I don't think so
[20:38] <FatHomer> It's annoying
[20:38] <Phinbart> Yeah, I was gonna say that.
[20:38] <Randomno> Can't we make a scroll height?
[20:38] <Doh5678> Per above
[20:38] <Phinbart> Forgot to remove it.
[20:38] <@Cook879> who suggested?
[20:38] <Phinbart> Me
[20:38] <Randomno> Or Solar can try hiding tables.
[20:38] <Phinbart> I thought it was a good idea at first.
[20:38] <Randomno> When he's not slightly wassailed.
[20:39] <FatHomer> You still have to scroll so I don't get the point with it
[20:40] <@Cook879> and ti still has to load
[20:40] <@Cook879> *it
[20:41] <FatHomer> Should we move on?
[20:41] <Phinbart> Next editor meeting
[20:42] <Randomno> April 1.
[20:42] <Randomno> As an April Fools joke.
[20:42] <Randomno> Then to April 2.
[20:42] <Phinbart> March 24
[20:42] <Phinbart> April 1 is a Sunday and April 2 is a Monday.
[20:42] <Randomno> By the way, what should we do for April 1?
[20:42] <Phinbart> Solar's got someat planned.
[20:42] <@Cook879> thta's Solar_Dragon's department. He's been planning for ages
[20:43] <Randomno> Someat?
[20:43] <Phinbart> Meh
[20:43] <FatHomer> ?
[20:43] <Phinbart> Someat is my word for something.
[20:44] <Randomno> Oh.
[20:44] <Phinbart> brb
[20:44] <Randomno> Hokily-dokily.
[20:44] <Phinbart> Back
[20:45] <FatHomer> Yay
[20:45] <Phinbart> Also, we need more info on the versions of Tapped Out.
[20:46] <Randomno> I'll be useless.
