| − | ::It may be worth later creating something similar but less stylised, to create skill statements that look something like:<nowiki>[[Magic_(skill)|magic]].[[Magic_(skill)#Methods|methods]].[[Magic_(skill)#Methods.Mental|mental]].[[Magic_skill(skill)#Methods.Mental.Charming|charming]]</nowiki> (which comes out as: [[Magic_(skill)|magic]].[[Magic_(skill)#Methods|methods]].[[Magic_(skill)#Methods.Mental|mental]].[[Magic_skill(skill)#Methods.Mental.Charming|charming]]) or just <nowiki>[[Magic_(skill)#Methods.Mental.Charming|magic.methods.mental.charming]]</nowiki>.

| | | | |
| − | :::That's true. Though personally I think it's nicer to just link the whole thing directly to the full skill (since if you link to every level it's easy to misread the whole thing as one link and click the wrong part--and how often do you care about a category skill, i.e. magic.methods, anyway?) and have the leaf skills in ''categories''. So faith would be a category containing faith.rituals, faith.items, and faith.points; faith.rituals would be a subcategory containing faith.rituals.offensive, and so on. Not that templates would interfere with that, of course. --[[User:Ilde|Ilde]] 03:13, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
| + | ==Adding users to the wiki== |
| | + | Administrators for this wiki can create new accounts if anyone playing on the mud wants one. The only criteria right now is that they must have an account on Discworld mud. The account name should match one of their mud account name or be a recognizable variation of it. Accounts of past players are kept to know who modified what even if they are deleted from the mud. |
| | | | |
| − | These boxes are left over from the merging of my wiki with this one; the player who was adding the magic articles had a Grand Plan that I didn't quite understand, but it made her happy and looked like it was probably useful, so I went along with it. [[User:TherionAndAlts|-TherionAndAlts]] 07:22, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
| + | Players should contact through the mud someone from [{{fullurl:Special:ListUsers|group=sysop}} this list] who has been active on the mud recently asking for an account to be made for them. |
| | | | |
| − | == Anonymous users and spam ==
| + | The procedure for wiki administrators is: |
| | + | #Go to [[Special:CreateAccount]], when logged in. |
| | + | #With email |
| | + | ##Enter a username and an email address, and click the "by email" button. |
| | + | ##The account will be created with a random password which is then emailed to the given address (as with the "forgot password" feature). The user will be requested to change password at first login; when they do, their e-mail address will also be marked as confirmed. |
| | + | #Without email |
| | + | ##Without an email the administrator enters the requested password or makes a random one. |
| | + | ##They then send the password to the user by mudmail telling them to login and change their password to something else. |
| | + | #If anything fails, post a message to [[User_talk:Frazyl]] or send a mudmail to Frazyl. |

| − | Should we consider disabling anonymous editing to reduce spam? Do we feel that anyone is likely to particularly want to make anonymous contributions? Personally, I'd like it because it would stop me making edits while logged out, but it would also mean much less despamifying. A CAPTCHA extension may also be useful, but there are valid points against it.

| − | :Proactive or Reactive? Unless it becomes a real problem, I think it's better to react to it case by case. If it becomes a major issue then is the time to consider proactive solutions. As far as I know we've only had one instance? [[User:Zexium|Zexium]] 10:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | ==Clubs pages== |
| | + | Also asked by Emily for other mudders is to have pages for clubs. This is fine, you can create pages for your club as a subpage like [[Club/Charm Chasers]]. |
| | | | |
| − | :: Rather a few more than one, and I'm a big fan of proactive. ;) See [[Special:Log/block]] for a list of IPs we've blocked (most are spammers, and some committed multiple instances of spamming). It also seems to be getting worse. I've blocked eight IPs today, not that doing that helps. I'm currently protecting (making user-editable only) pages after a few attacks, as once the bots start on a page, they won't stop. [[Special:RecentChanges]] seems to be filling up with spam and spam fixing. -[[User:Taepha|Taepha]] 10:56, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

| − | ::Yesterday I would have agreed with a reactive stance; today we got a whole bunch of spam dumped on us. I had thought that the spam bots were naively targetting direct links from the main page (makes sense - they have less computational work to do that way), in which case simply protecting all links from the main page would have worked nicely. Unfortunately, today's aren't following that pattern.
| + | ==Todo== |
| | + | *Update to latest MediaWiki. |
| | + | *Move quests to individual pages in quests namespace (to prevent showing up in default search) with warning at the beginning and include them all in existing pages. This makes it easier to read the whole quest if you want to or to edit it, it still shows the pages with hidden text like now for those who prefer that, and it allows linking quests in several lists. |
| | + | *Think of a way to allow people to create accounts themselves by checking that they have accounts on the mud, copy/pasting something from the mud or something like that. |
| | + | *Document everything on the mud. {{Research}} |

Aphaea has started copying data across, I was just wondering: Would it be better to have the TM stuff on the skills' research pages? --[[User:Gunde|Gunde]] 16:05, 28 March 2013 (UTC) |
| − | ::*Will stop most of the spam (I doubt we can stop all of it) | + | |
| − | ::*Won't discourage people from just coming along and editing. | + | |
| | | | |
| − | ::To that end, I think it's possible to use captcha without being heavy-handed about it - one of the common wiki captcha options is to require it for edits made from non-confirmed accounts which are attempting to insert links to 'unrecognized external sites'. This would have blocked all the spam we've had so far, with a pretty minimal effect on legitimate edits (especially if 'discworld.atuin.net' is a 'recognized external site'), so would be pretty much ideal. That would get my vote.
| + | I think it's fine either way. I'd prefer if all the bonus ranges were on the same page because it means less clicking. The way Aphaea is doing seems fine to me, especially since there's links to other skills to help navigation. --[[User:Frazyl|Frazyl]] 17:42, 28 March 2013 (UTC) |

| − | :::A low level captcha would be a good approach. We will have to make some sacrifices which may discourage random editing, but that's unavoidable if we want to stop the spam. We could add a limited protection and if that doesn't stop the majority of the vandalism we could step up to a higher level. Using captcha on adding external links would not solve every problem though, as there seems to be a lot of gibberish vandalism.

| − | ==Judge crackdown==
| + | |
| − | Despite [[judge|various]] [[Research:Judge|pages]] [[Category talk:swords|indicating]] that this is unwise, people are still:
| + | |
| − | *Creating/editing pages that imply that there are 10 judge categories (example: '08/10 (Very good)', [[:Category:Swords|here]]) - there aren't, there are actually 15.
| + | |
| − | *Creating/editing pages that use someone's judge category to compare or rate weapons (example: [[:Category:Excellent swords]]) - this isn't helpful as judge category is ''subjective'' - what you judge a weapon as isn't necessarily the same as what someone else does, depending on ad.ev.we bonuses.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Now, I don't attach any blame to individuals here - people can't be expected to read all talk/research pages, and many of the latest ones are probably arising from copy/pasting existing articles - however, this needs to stop.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | So far, I've been taking a softly-softly approach on this subject:
| + | |
| − | *{{tl|infobox weapon}} will accept being called with just a judge category, and will even tolerate things like '8/10'.
| + | |
| − | *I've set the template's documentation to request that people don't do this.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Unfortunately, this just isn't working - more of the offending articles keep being created - and the more people add articles with these issues in, the harder our future job will be to fix them. It's hard for me to contact individuals on this matter and ask them to stop, as many of such edits are made by anonymous IP.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To that end, I'm now taking a somewhat more forceful approach to this matter:
| + | |
| − | *I've tweaked {{tl|infobox weapon}} and {{tl|judge}}. Any edits to pages using either of these as of a week from now will automatically refuse to display a judge rating, and will instead display nice red text requesting that the editor stop using the deprecated syntax and provide their bonus. Note that this should only affect edits ''after'' that date - so we won't suddenly get a giant swathe of red-texted infoboxes in existing articles at that point.
| + | |
| − | *I've created two new warning templates - {{tl|Judge category is subjective}} and {{tl|There are not 10 judge categories}} - which I shall be adding to the worst offending articles. These can also be added to logged-in users' talk pages.
| + | |
| − | *I propose deleting '''all''' of 'Category:Excellent swords/axes/maces/etc.', and shall do so in a week's time unless there are serious objections. For now, each of these will be tagged indicating that it is a candidate for deletion.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Obviously, these will be fairly drastic changes - therefore, I've time-delayed them by a week to give people time to discuss/object/complain. Until that time, all that will happen is that various articles will have warning tags added to them.
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| − | I've updated the weapon pages (all of them as needs it, I believe) to reflect the proper number of judge categories. I propose repurposing the "Excellent" category pages to display weapons whose upper rating is 100; keeping the "100 club" (or whatever) page is handy given that many players will only wish to view the best weapons available in game.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Furthermore, these pages allow someone to sort ''only'' "100 club" weapons by weight, number of specials, and so on. Mind, if any of you know how to write a table with multiple sortable parameters, that'd be even better; but in the meantime, the pages perform a valuable function.

| − | ==Multi-infoboxes==
| + | |
| − | Ever wanted to add an article that had multiple infoboxes in it?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If so, you've probably come across the Ugly Infobox Stacking Problem, and ended up with something like this:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{Infobox weapon
| + | |
| − | | Judge=Excellent
| + | |
| − | | Bonus=200
| + | |
| − | | Weight=Lots
| + | |
| − | | Commands=Dest
| + | |
| − | | Hands=7+1
| + | |
| − | | Type=Misc}}
| + | |
| − | {{Infobox stat item
| + | |
| − | | con=+2
| + | |
| − | | dex=+1
| + | |
| − | | int=0
| + | |
| − | | str=-1
| + | |
| − | | wis=-2}}
| + | |
| − | {{Infobox poison
| + | |
| − | | effect=Pain
| + | |
| − | | short=Mn Pg
| + | |
| − | | ingredients=Crushed Womble Soul}}
| + | |
| − | {{-}}
| + | |
| − | Or, worse, this:
| + | |
| − | {{-}}
| + | |
| − | {{Infobox weapon
| + | |
| − | | Judge=Excellent
| + | |
| − | | Bonus=200
| + | |
| − | | Weight=Lots
| + | |
| − | | Commands=Dest
| + | |
| − | | Hands=7+1
| + | |
| − | | Type=Misc}}
| + | |
| − | {{-}}
| + | |
| − | {{Infobox stat item
| + | |
| − | | con=+2
| + | |
| − | | dex=+1
| + | |
| − | | int=0
| + | |
| − | | str=-1
| + | |
| − | | wis=-2}}
| + | |
| − | {{-}}
| + | |
| − | {{Infobox poison
| + | |
| − | | effect=Pain
| + | |
| − | | short=Mn Pg
| + | |
| − | | ingredients=Crushed Womble Soul}}
| + | |
| − | {{-}}
| + | |
| − | To deal with this, I've created the {{tl|multiinfobox}} template, which you can use to combine multiple infoboxes into one nice single one with tabs, which swaps between the different infobox types when you click the relevant tab.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | With multiinfobox, the above become:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{multiinfobox
| + | |
| − | |num-boxes=3
| + | |
| − | |name1=Weapon
| + | |
| − | |name2=Stat Item
| + | |
| − | |name3=Poison
| + | |
| − | |box1=<nowiki></nowiki>{{Infobox weapon
| + | |
| − | | Judge=Excellent
| + | |
| − | | Bonus=200
| + | |
| − | | Weight=Lots
| + | |
| − | | Commands=Dest
| + | |
| − | | Hands=7+1
| + | |
| − | | Type=Misc}}
| + | |
| − | |box2=<nowiki></nowiki>{{Infobox stat item
| + | |
| − | | con=+2
| + | |
| − | | dex=+1
| + | |
| − | | int=0
| + | |
| − | | str=-1
| + | |
| − | | wis=-2}}
| + | |
| − | |box3=<nowiki></nowiki>{{Infobox poison
| + | |
| − | | effect=Pain
| + | |
| − | | short=Mn Pg
| + | |
| − | | ingredients=Crushed Womble Soul}}
| + | |
| − | }}
| + | |
| − | {{-}}
| + | |
| − | Enjoy :)

| − | :That is handy. Anyone familiar enough code wise to incorporate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox this]? Would be handy for custom infoboxes, and would make making new ones easier.

| − | == [[Template:Abbr]] ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I tried to add a template for showing the meaning of abbreviations on mouse over but I can't seem to make it work.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I'm not sure if this needs to be done by someone who can escape the tags < > so it works or if I'm missing a dependency...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I believe this template could be helpful for:
| + | |
| − | *Using shorthand while allowing people to hover over it and see the whole meaning.
| + | |
| − | *Allow some data in tables to be shortened or not showed until you hover over it, since some things like description can be huge and not really helpful to always be displayed but interesting to have if someone wants to check it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I suppose being able to show/hide columns could do it for the second, though I'm not sure how that could be done.

| − | :Fixed the template. 'abbr' isn't a tag that this wiki's parser allows, but 'span' works fine.<br>

| − | ::Thanks!
| + | |
| − | ::There's just a slight issue, there's no visible indication that you can hover over it to get more, it's not putting the dotted underline...
| + | |
| − | ::Failing that, normal underline wouldn't be too bad, trying to add <u> to the template didn't work and anyway it's deprecated, using style="text-decoration:underline;" doesn't seem to work either for some reason....

If the mud is down or you need to announce some big thing happening or there's a bug that does something super bad or similar please:
Note for 18 Sep 2020 by QingFeng: The usual path to the MUD discworld.starturtle.net port 4242 is down! There is an alternative path to the mud: disctemp.starturtle.net port 23 or 4242. This is not a temporary copy of the MUD, it is another path to the actual MUD.
(One) Wodan wisps: and this is NOT a temp mud, but the real thing, in case anyone wasn't clear on that yet
Administrators for this wiki can create new accounts if anyone playing on the mud wants one. The only criteria right now is that they must have an account on Discworld mud. The account name should match one of their mud account name or be a recognizable variation of it. Accounts of past players are kept to know who modified what even if they are deleted from the mud.
Also asked by Emily for other mudders is to have pages for clubs. This is fine, you can create pages for your club as a subpage like Club/Charm Chasers.
I think it's fine either way. I'd prefer if all the bonus ranges were on the same page because it means less clicking. The way Aphaea is doing seems fine to me, especially since there's links to other skills to help navigation. --Frazyl 17:42, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
So far removing all anomalies at the start of fields and capitalzing them however I will be aiming to have the 'action taken' field in a set format rather than it is now, before i work out how this will be i would like peoples input (If this page is still used --Ascdren 13:27 30 march 2013 (UTC)
