If we can get enough facts, perhaps we can get an "On this day..." on the Front Page. It can be simple things like games which began and finished on each day. We could use a similar method that Wikipedia uses.

* Don't Panic! We're just in the process of moving the Mafia Scum Wiki over to the MediaWiki software (see button at bottom right of page).
If you'd like to help out, feel free to peruse the list of "most wanted" pages and copy those that are old, stable, or "definition"-type pages from the old wiki to here. Another option is to look at the Transwiki list, which will show all pages that have not been transferred yet as redlinks.-- Mr. Flay 16:36, 25 January 2007 (MST)
- The MafiaScum introduction on the main page talks about "I". Who wrote this originally? We should make reference to that person or change the word. _ Mgm 01:20, 31 January 2007 (MST)
- I agree: I've done this now. I also took out the bit about "a drunk IS" - it struck me as an in joke that was more likely to put people off and inappropriate for the front page. -Stoofer 09:45, 31 January 2007 (MST)
- That section shouldn't really have been used in the first place; I wrote it for the original About page, long before the first wiki was made, and it made a little more sense in context. jeep was just trying to incorporate all that old stuff in the wiki, and I guess no one wanted to touch it once it was there. --WikiSysop 04:42, 10 February 2007 (MST)

Moving the wiki?
Could we remove that part until it's actually going to be moved? It's only been 4 months.
Uploading Files
Any idea when we can upload files again? AFAIK, this prevents updates of avatars. --yawetag 02:11, 6 March 2010 (EST)
Articles link from main page doesn't go anywhere
Suggestion changing it to http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Category:Articles from http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Main_Page#Category:Articles
Images are borked
Currently, any attempt at creating an image thumbnail (i.e. displaying an image at a reduced size, which is often useful) results in this error:
Error creating thumbnail: /usr/local/bin/convert: not found
I suggest that whoever maintains the wiki go to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_administration and fix the problem.
It would also be nice if we updated from 1.16.0, since not only is it three years old, but it's been obsolete and unsupported for over a year.
And while I'm here I'll also point out that the collapsible table code isn't working for some reason. That may also need to be updated. Toomai Glittershine 23:41, 25 April 2013 (EDT)
Setups Main Page
Could some admin change the link at the bottom of this page that links to Category:Open Setups and change it to Category:Setups Main Page. Also remove the name "open" so it only says "setups". I did a huge overhaul of this section. ~wgeurts 22/09/14 11:32 CEST
