Request For Comments

Okay after getting nowhere with the design for the past couple of days due to not knowing what to make it look like. Messed with a few design choices and it didnt work out, looked like something from the 1990's. Requesting comments on styling it like Coestar recently did for the board art: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CGmPbKPU8AAQp__.png:large

Requesting comments on if you feel using similar design elements (obviously it wont look exactly like that and obviously it wont be transparent on the wiki pages (so you can actually read the content). Plornt (talk) 17:13, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

Theme is no where near finished yet at all but got a quick thing going if you go to preferences and then Appearance and select URLive theme... You'll want to turn it off to actually use the site currently though. Plornt (talk) 19:22, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

TODO

• Create Logo - Done/Quickfix Plornt (talk) 15:19, 2 June 2015 (EDT)
• Restyle to match overall theme of Unforgotten Realms
• Add to GitHub for serverside code collaboration
• Fix user registration PHP Mailer.

Requests

• Produce Template For Character's pages.
• Make it so links open in new tabs.

I'm not sure about this one, it could get messy for those navigating around. Have you tried just using CMD/CTRL clicking the link to open in new tab? I think this gives the user more control on what they want clicking a link to do. Plornt (talk) 15:25, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

Is there any way to make it so just external links open in new tabs, e.g. for the link on the main page to coe's twitch CoconutM1lk (talk) 15:30, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

Yep, just changed it in the config so all is good! Plornt (talk) 15:36, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

• Could i have the page Cards added to the sidebar under the "The game" section

Done Plornt (talk) 16:29, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

• Should we have a forum or a page for conversation on formatting and feedback (for example i would like to get some feedback on the card page) and i feel like that is not really relevant for an admin request page--Red Rath (talk) 16:54, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

I think article specific format talk should be done in the discussion of the article itself. But perhaps for more general guidelines something like that might be good.Skydivizer (talk) 17:05, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

Though how would you put forward a request for that opinion because unless it is a high traffic page there is going to be little to no traffic in the discussion page --Red Rath (talk) 17:13, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

I see how that might be a problem. I honestly don't know. Could be that just showing up in the Recent Changes gathers enough attention. But perhaps like you said some sort of format discussion page might be better. Skydivizer (talk) 17:21, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

• I cleaned up the logo of URlive and I assume you need an admin to add it. No idea how to even upload it onto the wiki so here it is through imgur. ----->[1] Im happy to make any changes and available if you need something Photoshopped. --TorisLaurinaitis (talk) 21:45, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

You can add files from the left hand bar under tools Pillowkeeper (talk) 21:50, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

Thanks Pillow! I got it now, here is a link to it [2]--TorisLaurinaitis (talk) 22:34, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

There is a problem with the logo on the [Login Page[3]], this will need to be fixed by an Admin --Red Rath (talk) 04:41, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

Fixed, thanks Plornt (talk) 04:45, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

• Please delete the page Master of the Rolls, the official title is Game Master. Chronohawk (talk) 04:53, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

Fixed by Me (Moderator) Logged as author request--Red Rath (talk) 05:01, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

• Is it possible to update images with files of a different filetype? The cards for week 2 seem to be JPGs. But the current ones are PNGs. When I try to upload them as newer versions it isn't allowed by the server.Skydivizer (talk) 04:56, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

Looking into it now! Plornt (talk) 05:17, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

Alrighty, looked into it, it seems there is no extension to do this. I went through the code myself and the reason its failing is because its looking at the file contents as well as the old extension of the file meaning it fails the verification check (this is to protect users and the server ultimately). I can disable the mime checking but I dont really want to do that. I'll have a look more later on but it doesnt look like its possible without converting the image to a different type or changing the extension of the file when it changes. Plornt (talk) 05:36, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

I see. Thanks for looking into it. I'll just convert them to png for now. Skydivizer (talk) 05:41, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

• Could you psoibly add an extension that would make chatting on the wiki easier to follow and differentiate i was thinking of using [This[4]] extension. Thanks--Red Rath (talk) 15:13, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
  • Or possibly this one that allows you to chat realtime, but might get a little annoying for other pages http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Chat Pillowkeeper (talk) 19:34, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
  • Also just wondering if we could add this http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Widgets to have widgets for youtube videos on the actual wiki. ~~~~

Requests For Permission

• Certain users able to undo edits? Just an idea.

Yeah, thats pretty much what this section is for realistically, if anyone wants to be a moderator of the wiki they can just put their name here (and request for it) and I'll look over their profile to make sure all is okay Plornt (talk) 16:32, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

I would like to Put my name forward To be a moderator Thanks --Red Rath (talk) 16:37, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

I would moderate as well CoconutM1lk (talk) 16:57, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

May not be a bad idea for me to put my name in as well. Tdis8629 (talk) 20:51, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

Why not, seems like fun! My name is in the hat!--IronClark (talk) 20:53, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

I'd love to as well!--TorisLaurinaitis (talk) 21:52, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

Sure! Being able to moderate would help tons with editing Pillowkeeper (talk) 00:11, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

I'd like to be able to moderate. Chronohawk (talk) 04:53, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

I will gladly offer to moderate too. Pcplague (talk) 19:59, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

If you still need a hand I'd love to help out. Wecr (talk) 21:27, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

Theme

The new theme looks absolutely awesome. I'm working on changing the main page to match. Chronohawk (talk) 21:09, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

Thanks :D, and awesome! Bit by bit we're getting there. The theme isnt complete yet but worked a couple of hours on it and got it to a usable state, thought I might aswell put it up now. Plornt (talk) 21:13, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
