==CamelCase==
==Wiki Block Too?==
I saw you camelcased the comingsoon template for readability. You don't need to do that. The new wiki software allows for spaces in names so we can write articles with regular capitalization of links. Also, even if an article is titled [[Mason]], [[mason]] will link to it just fine. We probably should encourage people to quit camelcasing now the software no longer needs it. - [[User:Mgm|Mgm]] 04:55, 30 January 2007 (MST)
So why block MMM from the wiki too? What harm can he do to the wiki as he is not a sysop? I do fully agree with the idea if they were a sysop but otherwise it makes no sense.--[[User:MafiaSSK|MafiaSSK]] 20:09, 2 June 2010 (EDT)

Hi Flay, I've just dropped in a new template for pages on roles.
==Just in Case you didn't read It==
I'll work on including the neccesary coding to cut display for template parameters that aren't used later when I figure out what coding is required for that in wikipedia. - [[User:Mgm|Mgm]] 02:00, 31 January 2007 (MST)

Why are there not enough pro-town roles in The Usual Suspects?  Why can'tr the baddies be pro-town, as in (to give just one example amongst many) Mini 250: Villains of Gotham City? [[User:Mr Stoofer|Stoofer]] 09:34, 31 January 2007 (MST)
== {{tl|blocked}} template ==


==Stoofer's random thoughts about the new Wiki==
i noticed you've been using this template, so i wanted to let you know that i've made some modifications... i've inserted 3 optional parameters so we can show how long users are blocked for (default is  indefinitely) along w/ an expiration date if it is ''not'' indefinite, and also ''why'' users were blocked (default is spam)... just thought you would like to know... also, i'm working on putting the non-indefinite blocks into a different category, probably [[:Category:Temporary Blocks]]... let me know if you have any criticisms...<br/> -- [[User:Dani Banani|Dani]] [[User_talk:Dani Banani|Banani]] 22:52, 5 November 2007 (MST)


For want of a better place, I thought this would be a good spot to note down some of the thoughts I've had about the new wiki, now that I've been playing with it for a couple of hours
== Spam Attack? ==
* It seems to me to be pretty far advanced - what's stopping you from making it go live and freezing the old wiki completely
* Will [wiki] tags on the forum point here?
* Is the picture set in stone?  Why not have the forum logo?
* Why can't we upload (not complaining as such, I'd just be interested in the reasons)
* Who are the sysops and what are their powers (I know what a sysop is)?
* Is it OK to pester you with these sorts of questions?

== i have a question ==
== Re: your comment on my page ==


why do you have [[Mr. Flay]] redirecting to [[User:Mr. Flay]]?.. shouldn't it be the other way around, since Mr. Flay is your name on the forum boards?.. i'm sure you have a reason for the rhyme, i just haven't noodled it yet...
The game on the site in question works differently than on MafiaScum. It is known beforehand who the cop is and that he's sane. I'll provide links if necessary.

== i think i figured it out ==
[[User:StrangerCoug|StrangerCoug]] 20:21, 4 June 2008 (MDT)


ok, one reason i think you may have it set up this way is so that when people want to leave you a message like this one, they just edit your discussion page... but you could have your [[Talk:Mr. Flay]] page redirect to your [[User talk:Mr. Flay]] page... (that's how i set mine up)... the only reason this bugs me is when someone is browsing through the '''''Category:Scummers''''' page (and other similar pages), your name appears under 'M', but it's listed as [[User:Mr. Flay]]... it just bugs me, b/c everything under 'M', should start w/ 'M', not 'U', but that's just me... i didn't want to edit your page in case you had a reason, so yeah...

  they are once again looking to tae down our page  and we still do don't know why
And, you may have noticed, but you get a screaming orange bar when someone leaves you a message at [[user_talk:LyingBrian]]. Not so much for LyingBrian. I like your italic hack for this, but ideally I'd like to see people move their userpages to the user namespace. I don't expect this to happen anytime before JEEP implements a unified login, though... :/ -- Mr. Flay 10:05, 13 August 2007 (MDT)</blockquote>


i'm confused... the word "userpages" seems to have two different meanings in the 1st & 2nd paragraphs... in the first paragraph you use the word "userpages", which i interpreted for me would be [[User:LyingBrian]], which makes sense in context, but in the second paragraph you said "I'd like to see people move their userpages to the user namespace.", in context, i would read that as moving [[LyingBrian]] to [[User:LyingBrian]], but based on the usage of the word in the 1st paragraph it reads as [[User:LyingBrian]] to [[LyingBrian]], so i'm not sure which you meant... i'm really not trying to be picky, but i can't figure out which you meant, and my reply will change based on what you meant, so... lol, i'm sorry i can be so technical sometimes, i hope i'm not frustrating you...
maybe you can tell us why they are messing with our page. we are not happy none of the seven of us are happy about this. and we want  to know why it is being deleted. we have done nothing wrong here.


[[User:LyingBrian|LyingBrian]] 12:58, 13 August 2007 (MDT)


== my thoughts (now w/ clarification, lol) ==


<blockquote>Heh, no problem. Yeah, what I mean is that userpages should ideally be at User:Whatever, with a redirect/link from Whatever. For the old wiki, there were no namespaces to worry about, so everybody got into the habit of making their page at their name, and that's how they got moved over. The terminology I'm using is far from precise, it's not your fault. (I'm trying to use "userpage" for User:Whatever and "username page" for Whatever). -- Mr. Flay 15:22, 13 August 2007 (MDT)</blockquote>
why are you guys acttcking the concuil of seven. they are here for some reason. i'm sure what just yet they have just as much right her as the next man.  


p.s. i tried to use the title ''player'' to refer to a username on the MafiaScum forums, and ''user'' to refer to somebody contributing to MafiaWiki...
thats a good qestion why are they attcking me?????????????????????????????


i believe i agree in concept, but disagree in content... for example on Wikipedia, '''''Mr Frosty''''' is a ''user'' on Wikipedia who has a 'userpage' located at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mr_Frosty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mr_Frosty] which is separated from the 'articles' on Wikipedia by the "User:" namespace...
==Cheers!==
Thanks for fixing up that newbie game stuff, I'm still pretty new to this wiki edit job. I'd like to get into it more, got any suggestions or links that are great for practical knowledge?--[[User:Oman|Oman]] 06:28, 28 January 2009 (EST)


however, on MafiaWiki, i think it is totally appropriate to have 'articles' that talk about each ''player''... not every ''player'' will be a ''user'' (and least until JEEP implements the unified login) and will have a 'userpage', but every ''player'' 'automatically' has a 'username page' which is 'created' when they sign up (yes, i know it's not technically created until somebody puts text in the page, but a link for it still exists in their forum profile)...
== I hadn't ==


IMO, the 'userpage' should be used if a ''user'' wants to give personal information about themselves such as Mr Frosty did on Wikipedia... included on that page could be a list of articles that ''user'' has contributed to, etc... the 'username page' should be used to give information about a ''player'', such as where their username/custom title comes from, their playing and/or modding record(s), win/loss ratio, etc...
But I certainly will before knocking over anything else. Thanks a bunch.


in a perfect world we would have a template for these pages (such as we should have for the games) in order to create a unified look, but the 'userpage' could be totally customized by each ''user''... what are your thoughts on this?..
