From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Looks really nice! Perhaps a lighter blue for the login section? Make it blend with the background. :)
No way! Actually, my favourite academic novel would be Fahrenheit 451. :P
Um... no. I was referring to the days when there were blogs, polls, games, tons of users, and the Halo 3 era. The real "old" Halopedia.
Sure, and it wasn't a traffic issue. A process essentially started using way too many resources so I'm doing stricter limits.
Hi Nicmavr!
Finally done with Header test. Which one looks nice? :)
I know HaloNation and Halopedian are two seperate accounts, but there is a lot of overlap. And it paid out, because Forerunner came to save the day. :-D
HaloNation was all deserted when I was there expect for the vandals of course...
May I ask why you are not allowed on HaloNation?
Γιεά σου φίλε! Ήθελα να σου πω ότι χÏειάζομαι οπωσδήποτε βοήθεια στην Ελληνική Wiki του Halo διότι δουλεÏω μόνος και δεν βλÎπω να πηγαίνει μπÏοστά. ΜετÎφεÏε αυτό το μÏνημα και στους άλλους Έλληνες χÏήστες. Τα λÎμε σÏντομα!
That's not the problem - as I said, it thinks I have written it wrongly. It says that custom wikis require me to insert /w/ or /wiki/ at the end. However, because this wiki doesn't accept /wiki/ as part of the URL AWB won't accept the URL as being valid. Here are some examples while it un-crashes >.>
- en.wikipedia.org/Halo_(series) redirects to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(series)
- residentevil.wikia.com/wiki/Resident_Evil redirects to residentevil.wikia.com/Resident_Evil
in both of the above cases /wiki/ is an accepted pathway but is not required in the URL. AWB appears to always use /wiki/, and so not entering it into the custom URL menu leads the system to assume that you have performed the action incorrectly.
As you predicted I've "almost" hit the 10,000 mark. :-D I was just wondering when the rest of my edits will be here?
Thanks again, but do I also get rollback rights on Halonation or does that have to go through the proper channels on that site?
Ow, some whole other thing. I noticed that the links in the 'Did You Know' section on the left mostly direct to redirects. As you may already have noticed, I greatly dislike redirect pages, so I really would like to see that changed.
If this is in a section available to me, just gimme the link and I'll do it myself :-P
Ah, ok. I thought it was just about corrected links. Just thought I'd mention this since it kind of causes a lot of extra work.
Regarding the recently imported revisions, I agree that some of the links should be corrected but I think it would be for the best to do that manually or with a bot instead of importing the whole article text.
The thing is, the pages in Halo Nation and Halopedia have diverged so much from each other that importing revisions from HN may be more counterproductive at this point. Looking at the page histories, most articles in HN have stayed nearly the same since last October while many articles here have had drastic improvements. With the changes, it's hard to point specific things that were better in the HN version and it's often easier to just revert the whole thing.
Look at this neat template I created! Would be nice to have it in Halopedia. :D
Well, I suggest telling whoever's in control of the bot to avoid substituting. :|
The reason why the template "failed" is because you forgot to remove <noinclude>. :P
I suggest not substituting, i.e. {{SUBTITUTE:}}
with the actual template in the talk pages. Just link it, i.e. {{Welcome}}
Good. Now, to get that Wikipedia article... :P
p.s. I'm no longer an administrator, so I don't really have any saying in approving such important matters. ;)
