| == Just a few things ==
| |
| | |
| The rest of us at NIWA rarely hear from you and many would have loved to help the move and give this new wiki an edge over the one that will be left. The Steve that designed the skin for WiKirby and Metroid Wiki designed a newer logo [http://ssbwiki.net/wiki/Special:RecentChanges here] that matches the domain name a little better. We're all looking forward to meeting this Wiki's community and are excited on the move news. Just as courtesy, could you inform us of major events like this? There were some people working on a NIWA SmashBros Wiki, but they are accepting this wiki to take the place they were aiming for. The only real loss was their time and effort, but we'd like to prevent a similar event by informing anyone working on a wiki, as soon as move discussions take place so they can be productive where there won't be any loss of work.[[User:Axiomist|Axiomist]] 00:05, 30 September 2010 (EDT)

| |
| :Well, you saw that I posted in the Smash Bros. thread that I was making an offer. My intention was really just to make sure that SmashWiki was happy on Wikia before we put even more effort on building a new wiki from scratch, but there ended up being a lot of support for the move. I'm not happy about the lost work on the other wiki, either. We should have given SmashWiki this final offer before we got to work on our own wiki. Regarding the logo: I think we're keeping the SmashWiki name as long as the move is deemed official by current SmashWiki staff. Maybe they can have the original site renamed SmashWikia or something. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] 00:45, 30 September 2010 (EDT)

| == Userpages ==
| |
| | |
| Is there something on this Wiki preventing non admins from being able to edit other users' userpages? If so, I highly suggest it should be removed. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span>[[Image: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 05:24, 10 October 2010 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| :Tbh, I highly suggest that it NOT be removed. Most of the time we don't have any business editing other user's userpages, and if there is some violation of policy on a userpage, an admin can deal with it. <font face="Helvetica" color="silver">[[User:Dr. Pain 99|<font color="#008080">Doctor Pain 99</font>]] ([[Special:Contributions/Dr. Pain 99|<font color="silver">C</font>]][[User Talk:Dr. Pain 99|<font color="silver">T</font>]][[Special:Editcount/Dr. Pain 99|<font color="silver">E</font>]])</font> 10:17, 10 October 2010 (EDT)

| ::Must I remind you that a userpage is just another page on the Wiki? Which means like every other page, can be edited by anyone, and do not belong to anyone. They're not the user's property. Even Wikipedia has a userpage [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Userpage#Ownership_and_editing_of_user_pages policy] that explicitly states "However, pages in user space belong to the wider community. They are not a personal homepage, and do not belong to the user. They are part of Wikipedia, and exist to make collaboration among editors easier." So please, stop thinking a userpage is a user's own magical space that no one else can step foot in. It's just bullshit to have a page on the Wiki that is restricted from editing with no precursor for it. If we didn't have this pointless userpage restriction on right now, Mako Shark and I would have been able to remove all those categories from userpages they didn't belong on much sooner. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span>[[Image: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 10:51, 10 October 2010 (EDT)

| :::What you need to do (for this set of spam at least) is add <pre>$wgSpamRegex = "/SE...SS_/";</pre> to LocalSettings.php - that'll stop THIS set of spam from working, at least.

| :::And Spamblacklist isn't very effective in my experience, I'd look at [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamRegex SpamRegex] instead. - [[User:Reboot|Reboot]] ([[User talk:Reboot|talk]]) 10:15, 27 January 2011 (EST)

| Whatever you do here, be sure to do it to the Donkey Kong Wiki as well. It too has been under the mass spam attack. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 10:20, 27 January 2011 (EST)

| I just had an idea: Put "jo<s></s>bs" in the filter. While "job" appears in various trophy descriptions, the plural form is only used on seven pages (none of them in the mainspace), and since job selling is what all these spammers are doing it'll be incredibly hard to avoid. If anyone needs to use the word for real they can use format folding like we did on this page, which doesn't work in URLs.
