Wiki

[Arkbennett 16]

I thought I suggest it, because I notice in our profiles, there is a "recent wiki edits" section.

I don't think it'd be too bad of a thing, kind of keep a history on us. Everything from members to forum threads.

[Marked 197]

That thing in the profiles is there because it's actually installed, it's been here since December: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/index.php?autocom=ibwiki

[Arkbennett 16]

No shit?

Put that thing on the menu! lol.

[Marked 197]

Haha no shit. I added it to the member bar. The permissions should be set up. If there's any problems with it, just post back here.

[Arkbennett 16]

lol, well, now that I know it's there.

I'm gonna start writing articles on it, from members to special forum threads.

So keep a sharp eye chaps, you might be on there.

[Arkbennett 16]

So sorry for the double post, but I'm requesting anyone and everyone who is on the wiki, or wants to be, to submit any type of information to me if.. With it, I could make a better and more accurate information database. Also, if you would, submit a quote you made up yourself, or what you believe in, or anything like that. Thank you. =)

[Marked 197]

It's looking quite good so far, a lot of interesting stuff about the members. I can't really give you must info about me, but keep up the good work.

[Arkbennett 16]

Thank you! =)

If you can't give me anything, can you atleast give me a quote for when I make yours?

[Polraudio 122]

Can you give all members permission to edit the wiki?

[Wyzrd 12]

I honestly do not think that a good idea. That would mean anyone wondering onto the forums could change anything in the Wiki. Putting stuff that isn't true and so forth.

[BiddyPocket 0]

yeah,

 

then it would be like a REAL wikipedia, which people change all the time :P. I think submitting stuff to Ark, though, would be a good idea, and he can change it. Feel free to write about me and my composing, Ark! :)

[Polraudio 122]

You could also make it where only members can change their own information if its possible.

[Marked 197]

Have you tried editing articles? You should be able to. All members should.

I honestly do not think that a good idea. That would mean anyone wondering onto the forums could change anything in the Wiki. Putting stuff that isn't true and so forth.

Thats true. Although for the moment I would like to keep it as it is. If these problems do come up, then we can change the permissions. If something like this does happen(Or in the case of members deleting articles) the information is easily retrievable from the Database.

 

Ark, you should write one on Noob Saibot. I think he was definitely a significant member. And I don't really have a quote...sorry.

 

Also, do you mind if I do some? I have some members who definitely need a mention, but didn't exactly make it to the forum(we had two), so you probably don't know them at all. They are the guys who got this forum here.

[Polraudio 122]

I just tried and it said you do not have permission

[Arkbennett 16]

Hey guys, sorry I havn't been on the forum, between the down time on the forums and my computer messing up, I havn't been able to write any articles, nut I did plan on writing one on Noob Saibot and many other members, and I still do. I'm hoping my computer will be fixed either today or tomorrow at the lastest.

 

I'm a little heistant only allowing other people write in the wiki, but that's not my call. I'm not trying to be a power hungry asshole, I just want all the articles to be consistant. palraudio, the reason you can't edit the wiki is because I set up the categories specifically so that newbies would not have permissions to modify, or create any articles. I did this to eliminate some concerns that people have mentioned before me.

 

Of course Marked, as the forum administrator, your more than welcome to make any articles you like. It's your forum, your rules, correct? =)

If it's decided that the wiki be open for public edits and creation, all I ask for members is to please be consistent with the articles already there, and type in a clean, literate, professional fasion.

I see what you mean. I don't know how many members are going to want to use the Wiki.

 

Do you want the Wiki not to open to the public? I would not have a problem with this as you are going for a high standard with articles.

 

An alternative is setup some rules for the Wiki. Members can see the high standard they're at, and have to make the articles consistent, as you say. Another is approval of Wiki edits. All edits have to be approved, and specific usergroups can approve edits. You can also revert any edits made, and see who edited what article. Example: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/index....istory&id=5

 

It's your forum, your rules, correct? =)

Our Forum.

 

I also got around to adding the Wiki in the Menu.

[Arkbennett 16]

For the wiki to be public, I feel uncomfortable making that decision, without the opinions of other members.

Perhaps we should make a poll, either I write the wiki, it's open to the public, or it's open to the public with my approval?

[Marked 197]

If you are willing to do the Wiki all yourself, then I'll setup the poll?

[Arkbennett 16]

I have no problem doing it myself.

[Marked 197]

Poll setup, everyone can now vote on this.

[Wyzrd 12]

I voted that it be open to the public with Ark's approval. That way we could submit stuff but then at the same time if it's not quite up to his standards he could edit it so it is, or he could ask that member to re-do it.

[Arkbennett 16]

I suggest the voting end.. Maybe the 10th, that should give enough time for every active member to decide.

[Polraudio 122]

Guess its Open to the Public, with Arkbennett's approval of articles/edits

Can some one make mine?

[Arkbennett 16]

Joo.

Just help make my life easier, and send me some stuff about you.

And a quote would be nice.

[Marked 197]

I think I'm gonna write one on Blazinks and Ravenclaw and perhaps the history behind RMXP Unlimited. With your approval Ark. I'll write them super good though.

 

The Wiki is set up like this:

Arkbennet is the only member who can create, delete, edit new Categories. That means if a member wants to write an article, it has to be in a pre-existing category.

All articles and edits require approval from Arkbennet.

 

If there are any problems I need to know about them, because I have my own permission group, I don't see what other members do, so if there's any issues, please tell me about them.

[Arkbennett 16]

I wrote one, and it's up for approval, but uhhhh..

I'm not getting any approval message.

[Marked 197]

Goto the article and click "approve article"

 

I approved that new article to see how it's done. I won't usually do that though, dont worry. I'm sure its okay if I approve the approvers article though. :D

 

By the way, do you the categories show 0 articles or is that just me?

[Arkbennett 16]

See, that's the thing. When I went to the article to approve it, it said it didn't exist, or something like that.

 

And yeah, it does the same for me too.

lol, nothing ever goes right here, does it? =)

[Marked 197]

Ah I'll try fix that. See if you have the same problem with the next article.

 

lol, nothing ever goes right here, does it? =)

:huh:

The result of almost 2 years work. Brilliant.

 

I started on the history of RMXP Unlimited. I'm not finished yet though, not by a long way. I posted it in the "Forums" Category, but it will need to be moved to an appropriate Category when its done.

[Arkbennett 16]

lol, I'm just kidding Marked. lol.

 

Alright, I already had a category in mind for such things like the incident with Ghost Rider.
