User talk:Anno1404

Leaving wikia
Hello! This is a reply to your answer from http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Sannse#Leaving_wikia. 1) How can they possibly affect new wikia ratings? I am the only contrubutor on the wikia. They are not going to do the SEO for old wikia, aren`t they? :)

2) :(. But if my account is blocked I can`t be sure that no vandalism will be done for my wikia. -- Teyandee 19:15, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: your revert
Please see User talk:J. James Beaudoin for why I removed that edit. Note that we are not opposed to people listing alternatives to Wikia here, we just would like their features worded in an objective tone so as not to imply one host is better than another, and that talk page message was very obviously not worded that way. -- Skiz zerz  19:59, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm
I think Monaco would be the biggest selling point in convincing the other users to move, as it's basically the biggest REASON to move. I suppose ShoutWiki it is, then. http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hub/3/36/P.png Frank - West  http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hub/3/36/P.png 23:09, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry that I missed the IRC chat, I didn't have a chance to check my email yet... I live in Mountain time and tonight's Hannukkah. —Airhogs777 (talk • contribs) 05:13, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

 * What time zone? —Airhogs777 (talk • contribs) Admin.svg 06:51, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Alright, Sure
Yeah, I'll message him. And that's good about the site address thing and that dead-rising is getting put up. Makin' some progress here as well, on the forum post. I've got it mostly done, there's some details I gotta fill in, then check it with you in the chat. Should 7-9pm EST be a standard meeting time for us? If not then what time would you next like to chat? http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hub/3/36/P.png Jax - Kenobi  http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hub/3/36/P.png 19:32, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Extension:IRC Chat
There is an IRC Extension: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:IRC_Chat. But it requires MediaWiki 1.6.10+ and we are currently have 1.15.4. AWAMember 14:58, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I will look into that, this would be ideal for us. Maybe there is an earlier version, or a different extension.
 * They plan on upgrading to 1.16. Anno1404 15:00, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Look at those: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PJIRC & http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WebChat. AWAMember 15:14, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:IRC_Chat works for 1.6 and above. We have 1.15 :) yeah! It is stable, and looks more used and popular. Problem is, it requires javascript, which can be buggy, see: http://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Chat Anno1404 15:30, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * requested Extension:Webchat for this wiki
 * I requested http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WebChat for this wiki.

See my user page ;) ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 17:20, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That was me as well. It's still there by the way if you want to check it out properly. :P ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 17:43, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Already happened. I also replied to a comment from a user asking about Monaco telling them to come to ShoutWiki. :P ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 17:46, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Load times
As long as we are comparing Wikia vs Shoutwiki I think we must do it fairly. I do not believe that wikia.com load time is 25.97 sec. Yes, they sometimes have troubles when it took long too load the page. But right now Gtmetrix shows 7.21s for http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Simpsons_Wiki. There just was some problem when you were measuring the speed. AWAMember 17:25, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Anno1404, and thank you for your reminder.

The Sryth wiki is considering several wiki farms to leave Wikia, Shoutwiki among them, but we have not reached a consensus yet, and we are in no hurry. We have a small and compact community, so so risk of forks. I'd like to thank you for reminding me to speed up the process a little bit, and I'm glad the answer to my comment has been useful to your effort. But please, we consider ourselves sufficiently notified. There's no need to send more messages to us. We are also angry and upset about the Oasis skin, but we'll move on our own time.

Thank you again for your effort. Scarbrow 03:02, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

I emailed you
From my yahoo account. I prefer the gmail account or messages here, actually. Anyways you should read it. Thanks. http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hub/3/36/P.png Jax - Kenobi  http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hub/3/36/P.png 01:59, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Check e-mail
Please check your e-mail. AWAMember 11:55, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed - check new mail. AWAMember 12:57, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

The meeting time
The meeting time will have to be at 8 EST. Just letting you know. http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hub/3/36/P.png Jax - Kenobi  http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hub/3/36/P.png 23:47, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Yeah, making it look like the deadrising.wikia.com homepage would be nice. Should I go on the forum and link to the new site? And Mister seemed pretty neutral about it, he said he'd go with what the community wanted. http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hub/3/36/P.png <font color="Blue">Jax - <font color= "Blue">Kenobi  http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hub/3/36/P.png 15:15, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

 * . Wow, 13 hours since the post was created and the staff member DaNASCAT just popped in to say something. I'm pretty sure they're constantly monitoring this wiki's recentchanges, which mean they care about us :P --Ciencia Al Poder 18:05, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

AWA Newsletter
Hi, maybe putting this on the main page talk page isn't a good idea. I would suggest putting together some sort of Microsoft Publisher newsletter and emailing it to users instead. Quote from SmahsWiki: "What exactly did we do to deserve this crap being plopped here? Where do we go to "unsubscribe" or whatever?" and to be honest, it does take up a LOT of space.

Go on the channel now and I will take you through the process. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 22:15, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Replied on my talk page. Also archived the main page's talk page and shrunk down the main page, moving stuff to other articles and linking them instead as it was quite long. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 22:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Forget about getting any help from me in future then. I don't like being accused of things I didn't do! ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 18:52, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

RE:Game
I'm not sure I understand the problem. Are you asking me for a location to save the file?

Also, now that you're an admin, you need to use an admin signature: —Anno1404 <small vertical-align="center">(talk • contribs) I put a SUBST: User:Airhogs777/sig in the sig box in preferences.

Pleasure to help! —Airhogs777 <small vertical-align="center">(talk • contribs) 04:13, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I see you've done a lot of work on the game, although I'm not seeing a page with it embedded (for now.) Just checking up on your progress. —Airhogs777 <small vertical-align="center">(talk • contribs) Admin.svg 05:36, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Monaco
I have created a new Example page layout- labels.png with Monaco on shoutwiki, should I upload it here. I was wondering if you would help with creating help pages about monaco on the help wiki. If you do that use pictures with shoutwiki's monaco version and not with thing of wikia's original. 17:48, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I've seen that. Help.schoutwiki.com is the link. There are three pages for now to be created about monaco. You can find them in the Help:Index page. The pictures of wikia are fine, but it lookes stranges if you see the logo of wikia when you are on SchoutWiki. So pictures where you see the wikia logo and community box and the myhome section need to be maked new, because shoutwiki doesn't has that so. 18:05, 22 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello! Feel free to upload the new image and creating (or editing) the articles to provide info about Monaco on Shoutwiki. Do not hesitate to ask if you need some help. We will make a screenshots of Monaco with ShoutWiki logo. AWAMember (Talk page, Mail me). 18:09, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Help pages for shoutwiki
Yes, I will transfer those page on this wikia. AWAMember (Talk page, Mail me). 18:14, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I asked a shoutwiki staff to transfer all the wikia help pages to shoutwiki.


 * http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/User_talk:Jack_Phoenix#wikia_monaco_help_pages_transfered_to_shoutwiki


 * Then all we need to do is revert the destructive wikia staff member's redirect.  —Anno1404 <small vertical-align="center">(talk • contribs) Admin.svg 18:17, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Please change MediaWiki pages for me
MediaWiki:Mainpage - Erase "Main Page" and make that into "Anti-Wikia Alliance" (without the quotations)

MediaWiki:Sitenotice - Copy off of User:Jeff/MediaWiki:Sitenotice

Thanks, Jeff -- (ChitChat) 15:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Sitenotice 2
Okay, again please copy+paste the changes at User:Jeff/MediaWiki:Sitenotice. Thanks, Jeff -- (ChitChat) 20:46, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Granted you adminship and bureaucratship on the Monaco Wiki
Just to let you know, you and User:AWAMember have been granted adminship and bureaucratship on the Monaco Wiki.

Battlestar wiki
Is there any need to have battlestar wiki on the wiki hosting options list? As it is only a single wiki. Hockeyben

Pages
Maybe we should make an article with info on each wiki farm. Like who to contact, how to create a wiki, how to move your wiki there. For example, I tried moving to Wikkii first, but found you had to install Advanced Hosting (Mediawiki) to import a dump larger than 2.1 MB. --Hockeyben 15:36, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Spunds good. I'll get to work on this sometime soon--Hockeyben 20:22, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

RE:Tally/RE:Requesting monaco...
If you want to change the tally back, that's fine with me. You're really the main head-honcho now. I'm currently on an involuntary wikibreak and might not be able to edit for a few weeks (you've probably noticed my absence.) Although I know that you'll do fine keeping everything running in the [rest of the] meantime.

Happy new years! —Airhogs777 <small vertical-align="center">(talk • contribs) 03:24, 2 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, by the way, don't forget to customize monaco. —Airhogs777 <small vertical-align="center">(talk • contribs) Admin.svg 03:25, 2 January 2011 (UTC)


 * One more thing: I apologise for not making the IRC meeting, I couldn't make it to a computer (explained above.) —Airhogs777 <small vertical-align="center">(talk • contribs) Admin.svg 03:28, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Tropicalwikis
| Tropicalwikis seems to be up and running. I will add it back to the comparison of wiki farms page. --Hockeyben 16:35, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Look ok? --Hockeyben 16:46, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Lag
Me and another user have reported to staff reponses are | here and | here. They will be upgrading to the new version of Mediawiki, which will help with load times, and gives us the Vector skin. --Hockeyben 18:31, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

List of moved wikis from Community Central
Do you have the list of moved wiki that was located at http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Anti-Wikia_Alliance/linkdatabase ? I want to check that all wikis from that list are present in our Moved (or Moving) list. AWAMember 19:43, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Re: LinkSuggest
Here. It requires YUI (Yahoo User Interface JS Framework) in order to work. I didn't create it. I just improved it so it also worked with templates. --Ciencia Al Poder 15:35, 14 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know why you keep the facts about Wikia specific extensions in Why we left. Wikia is not an open company. They do not have to use standard extensions nor make them available to the public. But Shoutwiki does the same. They don't release their Monaco code, nor the Special:CreateWiki, InterwikiDispatcher, Number of wikis and other extensions. This is not a reason for leaving a hosting, but the fact about breaking compatibility with their additions to the MediaWiki core functionality is, and Wikia Galleries are the best example. So I don't see the point of having the phrase "Unlike most mediawiki extensions and skins, Wikia skins and extensions are specifically designed for Wikia. A lot of the coding is specific only to wikia." on it as a reason for leaving Wikia. --Ciencia Al Poder 19:34, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Future deletion of wikis and business model
Wow, you are fast! I was still typing the justification at the talk page when you replied. Let's keep the discussion there, for the benefit of fellow editors who might chime in. --Tjr 16:28, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikia v Shoutwiki/extensions
I was checking the Wikia v Shoutwiki/extensions page and I thinks it needs to be modified. Since ShoutWiki has much less extensions than Wikia maybe we just will mention the extensions available on SW? AWAMember (Talk page, Mail me). 09:49, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
