Welcome to the so-far Unofficial Floor Pi Wiki. We're still getting set up now, but feel free to contribute.

{{MainPageBox|classname=MainAboutBox

            |title=About Us|transclude=About_Floorpi}}
We are currently getting ready for wider hall use, so please refrain from [[wankery]] until we getting things up and running, and have most of the pages up that we want.

{{MainPageBox|classname=MainNewsBox

            |title=Wiki News &mdash; {{:WikiNews|date?=yes}}|transclude=WikiNews}}
This wiki is being hosted on the hall locker. If it ends up working out well, we will leave it there. If not, it shall be one of many [[Nice Things|Nice Things We Can't Have]].

            |title=Let Us Tell You About|transclude=Feels Empty}}
If you are new to this whole wiki thing, you might want to check out the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information on using it. We are also working on [[Help:Editing|a version]] with information about basic formatting, as well as stylistic pointers.

__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
'''If you can't edit pages, you should visit [https://scripts-cert.mit.edu/~thirdwest/wiki/ https://scripts-cert.mit.edu/~thirdwest/wiki/]. [http://scripts.mit.edu/~thirdwest/wiki/ http://scripts.mit.edu/~thirdwest/wiki/] does not log you in.'''

I'm considering instating one or two active sysops soon -- that is, people who are willing to take a little time each day to patrol some subset of the edits and make sure they're up to standard. If you are making edits frequently, and [[The Lake]] sees that your edits are good, then I will sysop you. I make no guarantees that I'm actually paying attention to anything, nor that my system of rewards is not semirandom. Isn't there some story about birds and feeders that says something about that?
+
 
+
The stick corresponding to that carrot is bans. I don't wish to add a threat to every system-related message I make, so I'll put it all here: If you are making good edits, the wiki gets (I get) positive utility. If you make mediocre or shitty edits, I get a little irritated and mark, correct, or completely delete your work; it costs me a little bit of time, but since I can screen for Recent changes it's pretty much zero utility for me and the wiki. If you are making edits that simply detract from the quality of the wiki, then I get negative utility, and I pass the savings on to you, the consumer, by banning your ass. Bans will get incrementally lengthier as I get increasingly pissed off. I make no guarantees that my system is in anyway consistent, but I promise not to kick you in the balls if you don't take a steaming shit on everyone else's work.
+
 
+
This is the last of the teetering-on-Draconian rants I will do. Hopefully I won't actually have to make good on any threats. In the future, my displeasure, or the displeasure of other sysops, will manifest as random changes and possibly deletions on whatever you're working on. To avoid confusion, it will come with a fairly unambiguous image macro saying YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
+
 
+
I will start letting more of the hall catch wind of this after the number of coherent articles reaches some arbitrary number -- let's say, 60. (As of noon on Saturday 8/20, we are at 40 -- 9 redirects -- Main page = '''30''' real pages)
+
 
+
A new [[Nice Things|Nice Thing]] has been added to the wiki: The [[Current events|Current Events]] page now actually does something!
+
 
+
==Serious Fucking Business==
+
 
+
A [[Serious Business]] template marks pages that actually have serious content -- which is to say, things like administrative data and such. Use your own discretion as to how much wankery other articles can take, but leave these ones alone. The Serious Business template looks like this:
+
 
+
{{Template:SeriousBusiness}}
+
 
+
Please tag any page that should actually be treated seriously with <nowiki>{{Template:SeriousBusiness}}</nowiki> as the first line. This is the most important of the templates in use, but see [[Help:Templates]] for a few more that can be used to tag articles.
+
 
+
In general, if an article looks like it's actually trying to convey information, please leave it be; or if there is a good [[Wankery|wank]] to be had, at least stick it at the end of the article so that relevant data gets seen before whatever implementation of Goatse you've used.
+
 
+
==To-Do List==
+
For now, the information we want to aggregate in this wiki are as follows:
+
 
+
* Local Information, especially about [[:Category:Restaurants|Restaurants]]
+
* [[Video Games|Video game]] Information, to help newer people join the fold of gamers on hall, and to help people already addicted to organize themselves
+
* [[:Category:Hall memes|Memetics of the hall]], for example [[Curse This Body|cursing your body]] and [[The Lake|praising the lake]]
+
* Event Organization, for parties and such
+
** On that note, music organization. We hope to make more information about playlists and such available to you.
+
* Course Information, so that cruft can pass on their wisdom
+
* [[Help:Internet|How To Not Suck At The Internet]], and other useful advice
+
** Regarding not sucking at the Internet, please don't hotlink to images from this wiki, as I get any shit from annoyed webmasters who want to know where their bandwidth has gone. If you want an image that badly, download the damn thing and link to it from your own www/ directory.
+
* [[Hall Admin Stuffs|Hall Administrative Information]], such as the results of budget meetings, party dates, etc.
+
 
+
This page will later be replaced by something more informative about the hall itself, so that we can direct prospective hall members to it, and they can start learning about us without immediately being exposed to [[PENIS|PENIS PENIS PENIS]].
+
 
+
Looking for something to do? Here's a list of [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:MOAR|articles that need MOAR contributions]], and [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:CateMOAR|categories that need MOAR articles]]. And here's [[Special:Wantedpages|a list of "red links"]] that point to nonexistent articles that other articles link to nonetheless.

About Us

Floorpi is the third floor of the west parallel of East Campus. Have fun, don't die on hall, and we will sing memes with you.

Floorpi is a pretty cool place. Compared to some of the other halls, the characteristics that define us aren't quite as... ostentatious. We'll take board games and tea time over power tools and explosions most days of the week. In an attempt to promote our less rambunctious form of awesome, the adjective of choice was "mellow." This was replaced later by "MELLOW!!!!!". This was replaced later by "", because no single adjective can describe us as that would be overly reductive.

We have many different kinds of people who do all kinds of different things. Among the things we do are playing board games (Hanabi, Tichu, Spirit Island, Penguin Jrap, Sleep Sort...), puzzles, tea time, video games, mafia, going on food mobs, eating fruit, running hall feeds, watching movies and TV shows on the projector in the lounge, and math. [Math is dead, we killed it.]
