CamelCase

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. - Mgm 04:55, 30 January 2007 (MST)

  • Thanks for the sysopping Mr. Flay. If you need any MediaWiki expertise, just shout. - Mgm 10:59, 30 January 2007 (MST)

Template:Role

Hi Flay, I've just dropped in a new template for pages on roles. 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. - Mgm 02:00, 31 January 2007 (MST)

Essentially it's {{{param|default value}}} or {{{param|}}} to leave it blank. Works pretty good, though we'll have to enable the #if ParserFunction to do things like hide entire lines/change label text. -- Mr. Flay 06:54, 1 February 2007 (MST)
Well gee, that explains why #if wasn't working earlier when I was trying to make it work like that...--Ac1983fan 09:45, 1 February 2007 (MST)
Yeah, there are a few things that have to be enabled by the site admin... sorry about that! Took me a while to be sure of what was going on, too... -- Mr. Flay 14:11, 1 February 2007 (MST)

Failed ideas

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? Stoofer 09:34, 31 January 2007 (MST)

Stoofer's random thoughts about the new Wiki

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

  • 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?

In answer to six: yes, but the rest answered/moved to MafiaWiki_talk:To-do so everybody can see them. -- Mr. Flay 07:06, 1 February 2007 (MST)

Redirection

Thanks for the help with User:Mokina! I forgot about redirection...
