New video embed tool
Hello! I'm here to tell you about our newest feature: the Video Embed Tool, a tool that allows you to quickly and easily add videos to your wiki via a button on the editing toolbar.

I have posted an announcement at the Forum:New video embed tool, but you may wish to add you own announcements to your community. Thanks for your time! Kirkburn (talk) 20:22, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I poked you cause you were the most recently active admin :) Glad to hear you like it! It's currently live on diablo, fallout, residentevil and here. Kirkburn (talk) 23:17, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Where do I go to find out how many edits I've made? LordDeathRay 00:49, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. LordDeathRay 00:56, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
Hey Creepy, I have been considering obtaining Rollback privileges. I was wondering what the policy is here. Do I have to open a Request for Rollback or what? Thanks,


 * Ok, thanks


 * Yes, I got rollback thanks for nominating me. It has been quite helpful especially with all the IPs.

RE: Confirm E-mail
I confirmed my email back in 2007. :P. Anyway, if you need to send me an important message, why not just tell me on my talk page like normal? 03:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Community Portal
So, what do you think of rolling the licenses out tonight? Joey -  Talk Contribs 06:43, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Just make it "Template:Copyrighted Media" or something, and be sure to include all aspects of media. Also, I hope you don't mind my flooding of the recent changes? I figured we had too many uncategorized images. Joey -  Talk Contribs 06:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, basically something like that. Just pick that up, and bring it over here, but don't forget that we don't have all the same templates transcluded into that template as Wikipedia. So, it may be necessary to rewrite some of it. Joey -  Talk Contribs 06:52, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Ya, I was just checking it out, and it looks good. If you're ready, I will just stop the bot at what it is at, and add the license to everything. Too bad we didn't have the license earlier, but I'll just have to do all the ones I already did before now with this, and I'll stop it so that it won't affect the others. Okay, I'm starting now, be ready for some spam! Joey -  Talk Contribs 07:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Heh, ya and just a tip, since I got all my bots edits as minor, just click "Hide Minor Edits" to hide them. Anyways, good luck :) Joey  -  Talk Contribs 07:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Great it's running. As you can see, my bot is quite helpful, so if you or anyone else has any repetitive tasks to be done, just leave me a message. ;) Joey  -  Talk Contribs 07:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

A little over a month, and I have instituted it on a few wikis under different names. If I do use it here, we may want a bot flag, but that's just an if. It's great for help in the special pages, so I drift to wikis offering help in that department. Oh, and anytime. Joey -  Talk Contribs 07:21, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Re:Manual of Style
Ya I know, that's why I said we need to make one. If we are just using one from another wiki, then our ideas will just get mixed up. Thanks. Joey -  Talk Contribs 20:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

heh, looks like you're having fun. Sorry. Joey -  Talk Contribs 22:52, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good. I know that the Star Wars Fanon Wiki has a policy in which if you don't add a license within two minutes of uploading, you are blocked for a day and it is deleted. We don't need to be that strict, but that is the general idea. If we had better categoried on the images though, I would have been able to be neater with the license. But now, all we can do is go by hand. Joey -  Talk Contribs 22:59, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I was thinking, should we include glitches? There is no Manual of Style, so I didn't know for sure if we should. If we do though, I think it would be important for us to start with the perk glitch, as I know a lot of people that have paid money to learn it, and a page explaining it would be beneficial. Anyways, what do you think? Joey -  Talk Contribs 02:49, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, we most definitely won't want to be crazy like the policies at SWF. I mean, two minutes and then a day ban? Err, that seems messed up.

Anyway, on the topic of licensing for images, we could just make a policy saying "all images fall under United States Fair Use unless otherwise stated", as many other wikis have done. If an image doesn't fall unser Fair Use, then it would get a template. I love it when images have licensing tags, and I love to encourage the adding of them, but I don't think we should punish people for not applying one. 05:34, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Of course the two minutes and then a day ban is quite harsh, but then again with their traffic, and their 30 000 articles they would get into some real trouble if they had an unlicensed image. There is a lot of things to make licensing easier, it is possible to have a special button that would automatically add the license, I could run my bot on a weekly basis, or we could just encourage all the more "regular users" to license images. If an IP or new user comes in and uploads ten images without the license, I don't think we should ban them, I think we should tell them. If someone uploads a lot and doesn't license after we keep on telling them, then a one day ban would be reasonable. I think that would be straightforward. Joey -  Talk Contribs 05:44, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Basically, the way I look at it is: we HAVE to categorize and license images, just because it is very tedious and annoying to do it afterwards. :( I think we do need strict policies on licensing images, but we should make a very user-friendly environemnt for the uploader.  Maybe we could use Joeyaa's idea and put some convenient buttons up.  Oh, that reminds me, we reallly should get around to those "welcome" buttons that Joeyaa suggested a while ago.  Although I don't really have much idea of how to build something like that, I'm sure Joeyaa or a helper could do it.  I also saw a cool welcome button idea on wiki help where someone made two buttons for welcoming in the little edit bar above the text box.  Maybe we should come up with a list and call in a helper...?   18:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
