Wiki Community Newsletter for Saturday, March 1st

The newsletter will focus on changes to the wiki within the last month and a few notifications for users as well!

What happened last month?

 * Hyperborrean22 suggested we remove opinion blogs from the front page and allow anyone to create them, not just News Team members. After a very longwinded discussion between him and Sam, it was deemed the proposal was in bad faith. Forum:Opnion blogs ''(Opened 15:50, February 16, 2014; closed 17:39, February 20, 2014)
 * Kylet357 noticed that the wiki's official YouTube channel has been inactive and only lightly used, and suggested we put it to better use by asking for improvement ideas. Several good ideas were brought up, such as level walkthroughs and partnerships with existing YouTubers, but in the end it was decided that there exists too much competition for the channel to thrive and not enough user interest in putting effort into the videos. Forum:CoD Wiki YT Channel (Opened 02:15, December 1, 2013; closed 16:30, February 25, 2014)
 * Egon Eagle suggested a new section in mainspace articles for references to the CoD series in popular culture and cited a few examples. The forum received little attention, but after two weeks was closed with the unanimous dicision that those references should remain in the trivia section. Forum:Call of Duty in popular culture (Opened 16:07, February 13, 2014; closed 22:39, February 27, 2014)
 * Verantha was voted February's Featured User! She was previously Featured User in January of 2012. A warm congratulations and big thanks to her for her admirably consistent additions to mainspace articles.

What's happening this month?

 * Call of Duty Wiki:Articles for Deletion has several articles nominated, so please consider dropping by and providing some valuable feedback.
 * Call of Duty Wiki:Requested Improvement Drive Articles is an ongoing project to improve the articles that desperately need it. Argo and many other users put a lot of hard work into it and it would be greatly appreciated if you could help out!
 * Kat has suggested we change the skin of the wiki to something less dark, and has provided a mockup. Some other possible avenues of change have been brought up as well. Forum:Wiki skin revamp
 * Sam noticed a section at the bottom of some pages labeled "Must Watch Videos" that closely resembles the "Related Videos" feature we chose to disable some time ago. After the issue was raised, we all noticed that it only appears every so often. Forum:Must Watch Videos
 * Callofduty4 and Sam have together proposed that we do away with our leaked information policy on the grounds that: it severely limites our ability to post relevant information that would draw viewership; Activision has never asked any other large site to stop posting leaked info like we do, which is unfair and unwarranted; and since we have received no reply from Activision after repeated attempts to clear things up, it's about time we took things into our own hands. It has also been suggested by others that we contact Wikia staff for their take on the situation. Forum:Retiring COD:LEAK
 * AntiScootaTwo has suggested we either allow low-quality Ghosts images to be put into mainspace articles, or start a new image project to combat the amount of Ghosts weapon pages sorely in need of images. The main issue is the lack of editors that own the PC copy or a capture card. Forum:Ghosts Weapon images
 * Sam has lamented that the trivia sections of many articles have become long and filled with untrivial information, and some possible improvements are being discussed. Forum:Regarding trivia sections
 * Damac feels that the recent decline in the quality of news articles has led to decreased readership, and has asked for suggestions for improvement. Prominent ideas so far include more professionalism and a link to this forum. Forum:Quality of News
 * Kylet357 thought it might be necessary to have a new category for satire blogs, but after some reconsideration has changed his proposal to a "non-serious" category. Forum:Satire Category for Blogs

Other reminders

 * Be sure to keep an eye out for vandalism and speculation, especially now that information about the next Call of Duty is being revealed. Be kind and courteous to people who misunderstand things, and make sure to leave an edit summary when undoing an edit!

''Comments? Questions?''

Don't hesitate to leave a comment on this page and we'll do our best to see to it! Thanks for reading.

Yeah, or at least it's supposed to be :P I can't always be active enough to do it, but when I am, I will. Joe Copp 00:33, March 2, 2014 (UTC)

RE:
Cheers, it's nice to be appreciated. :D A lot of fun getting all the models in the same "pose" so they all look somewhat professional. Amazing how much legacy content there is too... Thanks again Kylet, you lovely person, you. :P 22:56, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Game
Thanks a lot for the code Kylet! I'll try do something with it (pass it on or use it) over the weekend. 08:34, March 19, 2014 (UTC)

File names
Hi. Looking over some of your recent removals, I believe they should stay. Firstly, the file names of weapons is quite an important fact, not something of trivial matter. And if a user got to said page because they were searching for a weapon by file name and got redirected, it flows a lot better by being placed in the main header. Secondly, citing "COD:NAME" doesn't really work for removing the information. Since the policy is for dictating the name of the article itself, not the names we put on the page itself.

Anyway, just thought I'd bring it up here, so we can talk about it here, as opposed to starting something in edit summaries or something. 03:43, March 21, 2014 (UTC)

Help
Hey,

Could you click on this link that is from Sam's page: Chat Family Tree

It comes up with a 404 for me, does this happen to you?

Thanks. 11:59, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

EDIT: Forget the message, he's already fixed it.

Question
You know that RFA is April Fools right? -- 01:07, April 1, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Code
Thanks. I may give it a try. Joe Copp 21:40, April 7, 2014 (UTC)

Happy Birthday
i still remembered you saying on my easter blog that monday was your birthday. so, i wanted to be the first (on the cod wiki) to say that to you. RisingSun2013 (talk) 12:27, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

Happy Birthday
Sup Kyle. Saw on RisingSun's blog that you said it was your birthday today. So Happy Birthday! 15:14, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

Hyvää syntymäpäivää (that's Finnish)
I made you a cake, but I got hungry and ate it. Sorry. But happy birthday regardless. 16:06, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

re:template
I think it could be linked to your signature itself. As I've noticed when you use it it leaves behind a lot of code instead of as a template. 17:03, May 12, 2014 (UTC)

Poop
And if you look at the MSBS and the normal PDW, "3 Round Burst" is yellow, too. So that doesn't prove anything, as both are burst fire weapons by default.

The difference is that a weapon having a different fire mode doesn't make it a weapon with an attachment, as the fire mode attachments in Ghosts have specific effects, unlike the other integrated "attachments" which are already part of the weapon instead of modifying it. --79.248.252.24 02:33, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

I already know that. There is no automatic fire attachment for the PDW (iw6_pdw_mp). The Gold PDW is a different weapon (iw6_pdwauto_mp). Anyone with the PC version of the game can easily check that, either by extracting the fast files or by looking through the game's memory with Cheat Engine. 79.248.252.24 03:18, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks
Sorry, I didn't realise that we used the weapon stats from the website that anon stated. Thanks for reminding me. 07:55, July 2, 2014 (UTC)

спасибо (Thanks in Russian)
感謝 for that Kyle! You will become an admin someday, just keep it up! (You'll need a trillion editz though) 08:01, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

Your signature
Hi, your signature is substituted contains more characters that you signed it on my talk page (seen here). On your preferences, you should change it to Signatures/Kylet357 and it should replace the signature template after you sign it with four tildes, thank you. -- 18:54, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Your Sig
Hey Kyle, I recall a while ago that you said your signature template wasn't working in vandalism/bad edit templates or something of the likewise. I looked over your signature, and noticed it was missing | in the category. I've added it, so I think it might work for you now. 19:10, July 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * With luck, now it will work and you don't have to leave so much code behind! :D 02:59, July 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Didn't look like it worked last time. I'm going to try one more time. 17:17, July 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Testing.  17:25, July 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yep, looks like it works now. 17:27, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Poop
Here we go again I never said I get special treatment yes we are equal and like I said to miller stay out of something that has nothing to do with you please don't I have enough weight on my shoulders--Cod slayer134 (talk) 15:58, July 28, 2014 (UTC)(codslayer)

Just a tip
If there are multiple people vandalizing a page, you can go into the history of that page and edit an earlier change made before the vandalism to counteract both cases of vandalism at once. 02:20, August 11, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Good to see ya
That's kewl. Just be careful lest Morgan Freeman turns you into gold. 08:15, August 22, 2014 (UTC)

GIMP
The best way to do it with GIMP is to use the lasso tool and draw around the image (generally with clicks, not actually holding it down and drawing around it). Once that's done you can copy the image and delete the background so all you have left is the image you cropped around and a transparent background. Also, its generally good to expand the canvas a bit so the image doesn't look to squashed once it's uploaded. 12:04, August 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Smuff/Transparency Guide 12:16, August 22, 2014 (UTC)

Images
If you don't mind me asking, where do you get your images like the Skorpion EVO reload? 14:22, August 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * I didn't even see the licensing, anyway just wanted to ask because of the lower quality settings than what I'm used to seeing on transparent images. I might also replace some of them with higher quality ones, JSYK. 14:32, August 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * You use a PS3 right? 14:51, August 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * PS3 uses a max resolution of 1280x720 whereas most images taken on a PC like mine are 1920x1080 (more is possible though if you have a monitor to support higher resolutions). 1080p is about two times higher quality. That and PC also has things like increased texture sizes and anti-aliasing available. 15:21, August 22, 2014 (UTC)

RE:Signature
Could you post on my talk apge, with nowik tags, what you currently have written in your "Custom Signature" section on your preferences page? 02:55, August 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * Try changing it to Signatures/Kylet357 and see what happens. 03:23, August 28, 2014 (UTC)

Re:What?
He left, simple as that. And I didn't want messages on my talk page saying that I suck dick, even as a metaphor. 07:56, September 6, 2014 (UTC)

congatulations on getting over 2000 edits. sorry i didnt say something before, i forgot i was going to. RisingSun2013 01:38, October 5, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Your sig
I haven't actually thought about that. But still, to tell you the honest truth, I don't really like my signature anymore, and I have tried to change it to be what I want, but, being an amateur at coding, I just have been able to change it to my liking (I'm a perfectionist). Capt. Miller  01:39, October 19, 2014 (UTC)

Samhein/Halloween
tis the day of samhein/halloween/hallowe'en. let it be happy for thou. RisingSun2013 20:26, October 31, 2014 (UTC)
