== SSF's Thoughts ==

I think that a Scummer's personal page/s should be in the User: Namespace. If Scummers' pages and actual "encyclopedia" pages are kept in separate namespaces, it helps to keep the Wiki tidier as a whole. For now, the majority of pages in the User namespace are just redirects to the respective page in the main namespace, which is kind of a waste.

:i'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing w/ me... i think personal information about a Scummer that is not related to the game should be kept in their User: Namespace, as well... i also think information about a Scummer such as games played/modded, win/loss ration, etc. should be in an 'encyclopedia' page... think of it as an extension of the player's profile on the forum (i think this is why it's linked in the forum profile)... for example, [[mith]] is a page that talks about the player, while [[User:WikiSysop]] would be a page that talks about him as a person...[[User:LyingBrian|LyingBrian]] 23:22, 14 August 2007 (MDT)
 
::I agree with ssf (assuming "personal page" means [[user name]] as opposed to [[game page]] or [[concept]]), but I'm not going to be a dictator about it if other people disagree. MediaWiki is even flexible enough to add a namespace for Games, if we want to keep that separate from theory and roles and the like. Perhaps we should marshall our arguments pro/con each side, and when JEEP does unified login, we can present a poll in the forums and see what people want to go with. -- [[User:Mr. Flay|Mr.]] [[User_talk:Mr. Flay|Flay]] 06:37, 15 August 2007 (MDT)
 
:ok, i see what your saying now, i think... basically Scummers should have their own namespace... yeah, i can roll w/ that, but i think the namespace should be something different than "User:"... to further expound, when i see the word "User:" i think of a user of the wiki, and i don't connect it w/ the player on the forums... maybe if we created a namespace such as "Scummer:" or "Player:", that would make more sense to me than "User:"... again, i think the "User:" namespace should be saved for personal information, and the "Player:" (i slightly favor "Player:" over "Scummer:", but just slightly) namespace could be used for personal game history, etc... we could also rename the "User:" namespace to "Player:" (or something else), and that would make more sense to me, and cut down on the redirects... i think having a namespace such as "Games:" is a good idea, also... [[User:LyingBrian|LyingBrian]] 18:22, 15 August 2007 (MDT)
 
::[[Distad]] is an example of what i think should be on the "User" pages, i.e. this page should be named [[User:Distad]], since it does not contain any information relevant or pertaining to MafiaScum (again, sort of like an extended profile)
::[[User:LyingBrian|LyingBrian]] 09:52, 16 August 2007 (MDT)
 
::Yeah, custom namespaces are nearly-trivial in MediaWiki. I kinda like the [[Scummer:]] one... but I'm not sure I agree with you about the separation of user-info and player-info. Thinking on it still... -- [[User:Mr. Flay|Mr.]] [[User_talk:Mr. Flay|Flay]] 12:30, 16 August 2007 (MDT)
 
:::I would think that a Scummer: namespace would work quite well. It seems more "Official" than simply having a Scummer category on the main namespace, and it would remove quite a few of the pages from the main namespace, making it much easier to search for game or player-related articles specifically. [[User:Somestrangeflea|Somestrangeflea]] 14:14, 16 August 2007 (MDT)
 
I dunno... If I understand you correctly, would that mean splitting records and personal information into two seperate pages? Would that just make things messy? Also, what happens when authors give their comments about games in their records? Would that count as personal information or just records? But perhaps I'm just being pedantic [[User:Shanba|Shanba]]
 
:I think, if I'm understanding correctly, SSF is advocating changing the [[User:]] namespace into [[Scummer:]]. LB seems to lean toward two different pages... -- [[User:Mr. Flay|Mr.]] [[User_talk:Mr. Flay|Flay]] 20:00, 16 August 2007 (MDT)
 
::meh, i'm not so much set on having two different pages, as i am renaming the [[User:]] namespace to [[Scummer:]]... the only reason i was suggesting two different pages is b/c i thought we were talking about standardizing the User Pages... if we want to have a standard for those players who don't want to edit their own, that's sounds like a good idea, but it would also allow those players that do want to edit their own to be able to do so...[[LyingBrian|Lying]][[User_talk:LyingBrian|Brian]] 00:58, 17 August 2007 (MDT)
 
Cool, sounds like we're all close to the same page, maybe we can draft something up and post it in the Forums... -- [[User:Mr. Flay|Mr.]] [[User_talk:Mr. Flay|Flay]] 07:05, 17 August 2007 (MDT)
 
So, what about redirects? If we move personal pages onto the Scummer: namespace, we'll end up with masses of redirect pages on the main: namespace (Main &rarr; Scummer:), and double-redirects on the User: namespace (User: &rarr; Main &rarr; Scummer). What will be the policy regarding those? [[User:Somestrangeflea|Somestrangeflea]] 08:41, 17 August 2007 (MDT)
:If I'm reading the discussion correctly, the proposal is to rename the User namespace to Scummer. That sort of rename would be done server-side, and wouldn't result in any redirects. Redirects from main to scummer are harmless, IMO. --[[User:YYCguy|YYCguy]] 08:52, 17 August 2007 (MDT)
::Eh. I'm against having two seperate pages on the grounds it would be messy, but I don't see any harm in moving everything over from one page to another and renaming that page. I can't really see the point, but I'm not opposed to it. [[User:Shanba|Shanba]]
::(to YYCGuy) Yeah, it'd be a namespace change for User:, and then fixing all the redirects in mainspace (unlike Wikipedia, we don't care about cross-namespace redirect). [[Special:Doubleredirects]] will help with fixing those... -- [[User:Mr. Flay|Mr.]] [[User_talk:Mr. Flay|Flay]] 09:08, 17 August 2007 (MDT)
Oh! The idea is to '''rename''' the namespace. I thought the idea was to create a whole new namespace and move all the pages there!
Anything else? [[User:Somestrangeflea|Somestrangeflea]] 09:24, 17 August 2007 (MDT)

discussion?

basically serving as a bump, but did we want to start another thread about wiki-related stuff, or [tic]do you think it will overwhelm the masses thinking about something outside of the forum?..[/tic] i would like to generate more interest in the wiki, but i don't know HOW...-- LyingBrian 02:12, 21 August 2007 (MDT)

For what it's worth, UltraMegaFlayBot will make this changeover much simpler, if/when it ever happens... :) -- Mr. Flay 15:03, 8 December 2008 (MST)
