  • Produce Template For Character's pages.

I took care of it. Check out Template:Charbox --Petertwnsnd (talk) 12:54, 4 June 2015 (EDT)

  • 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)
Fixed by Me (Moderator) Logged as author request--Red Rath (talk) 05:01, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
  • Could we please get this extension added to the wiki? It'll be really handy for the main page, as I'll replace the old title with a nice header. Chronohawk (talk) 21:31, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
Gunna give it a go, its an unmaintained extension so hopefully it still works Plornt (talk) 21:33, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
Should be done. Tested it on MainPage and it worked for a little while. Not sure why its showing up again now Plornt (talk) 21:42, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
Alls good!


  • Maybe somehow add a logo t o the name of the page in tab? Like this bit. CoconutM1lk (talk) 11:41, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
I added a logo earlier, it should show up when your browser reattempts to download the favicon.ico file. When I had originally put it up it was broken.
  • 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) -- CANTFIX Plornt (talk) 15:46, 4 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)
Yea that looks like a good one, a bit like an irc for a specific page, we will just need to make shuer that it is limmited to discussion pages and "feature (odd)" pages so that it does nto clog up the main wiki :)
Will have a look into it. Need to make sure it doesnt allow arbitrary HTML to be run as that can be bad. Glancing over it, it looks like I only have control over what widgets people can use. Plornt (talk) 21:47, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
  • I can't seem to get the #if statements in templates to work. I think Template:Class_Card_Sheet should be hiding unspecified rows, but it just shows them all. I tried just a simple if statement and doesnt seem to do anything at all. Don't know if I am doing something wrong or if #if needs some extension to work. Skydivizer (talk) 05:07, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
Fixed parser, this may break something else though with the info boxes as it uses a different parse extension. Hopefully all is fine though! Thanks. Plornt (talk) 05:14, 4 June 2015 (EDT)


  • Just wondering, will the site be robust enough for Saturday? It went down for a while last night when Coe linked the wiki to ~200 viewers. Not sure if there's a better place to ask. Pcplague (talk) 12:08, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
Server went down due to the database crashing, no idea what caused it but there wasnt any spike in usage shown on any of the stats which was weird. I'll make it restart when it crashes and put in some redundancy. Should be good to go for saturday Plornt (talk) 12:34, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
Okay just did a load test... Yeah didnt survive 50 users connecting all at once. Gotta increase some resources for the server. Plornt (talk) 13:37, 4 June 2015 (EDT)


  • Is it possible to PM people? Maybe we could get an extension for that if one exists.
I'll have a look into it. Its not possible at the moment unless you count "Private" as your user discussion page. Plornt (talk) 14:33, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
  • Maybe it would be a good idea to get an extension to hide spoilers as many people might not have seen parts of the campaigns yet. CoconutM1lk (talk) 15:34, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
Whats peoples opinion on this? I dont know if this would clutter the pages a bit much. Perhaps if we have a spoiler box like a lot of TV show wikis have that explain at the top if the article contains spoilers? Plornt (talk) 15:40, 4 June 2015 (EDT)

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)
Thanks guys, appreciate it, I set a few people as mod yesterday, it doesnt seem like theres too much mod work needing to be done at the moment. Will add more when I get time to go through peoples profiles to double check. Plornt (talk) 21:49, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
I'd also like to be a mod. --Petertwnsnd (talk) 12:56, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
  • Is it possible to set the permissions for moderators posts to be auto patrolled, as i assume they are in a position of trust and i do not feel like i need to patroll the posts, this would help with looking through the recent edits to make sure that there is no vandalism. Thanks :) --Red Rath (talk) 13:44, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
Moderators have now been given autopatrol right! Thanks Plornt (talk) 14:16, 4 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)
  • Noticed that captions for framed images don't show up, like in Gemling for example, due to the white text. I think making frames and tables slightly darker would help, and also provide less jarring contrast. Pcplague (talk) 23:24, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
Similarly when looking at the difference between revisions some text is very hard to read. Skydivizer (talk) 04:25, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
Quick fixed the difference box. Best I can get away with whilst at work. Thanks! Plornt (talk) 04:36, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
  • I was curious if we should talk about how the pages should look, as in should my Power Listings be included, as they have started to be removed from some pages. I'm just curious if they should be or not. Rather not step on anyones toes. --IronClark (talk) 12:51, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
I think thats best to be discussed on the talk pages of the actual articles. Generally whatever looks best is kept. If someone removes something without reason and doesnt put it in a more reasonable place then I'd go ahead and re-add it. Plornt (talk) 14:33, 4 June 2015 (EDT)


  • Also the question thing is really difficult to read with the new theme as you can see here CoconutM1lk (talk) 11:41, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
Do you remember where that was? As the one on the login/register is okay. I cant seem thttps://i.imgur.com/s1kowuJ.pngo get it to appear Plornt (talk) 15:02, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
Fixed! Plornt (talk) 15:07, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
  • On the old theme when I try to press the Edit button (not edit source) this pops up and I can't access the page? CoconutM1lk (talk) 15:23, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
Fixed, the visual editor requires a second server to be running to parse the Wiki syntax and expressions. That server crashed (since the visual editor is in beta at the moment). If it goes down again just let me know. Thanks Plornt (talk) 15:37, 4 June 2015 (EDT)
