| |
| − |
| |
| − | Welcome to the so-far Unofficial Floor Pi Wiki. We're still getting set up now, but feel free to contribute.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''If you are new to the wiki itself, please read the [[Rules|Rules of Fight Club]] before doing anything
| |
| − | else.'''
| |
| − | '''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.'''

| |
| − | ===The System===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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. We are currently at '''{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}''' real articles.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Ooh, Shiny!===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A new [[Nice Things|Nice Thing]] has been added to the wiki: The [[Current events|Current Events]] page now
| |
| − | actually does something!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A [[Shiny Main|shinier Main Page]] is under construction. Take a look and give your commentary on the
| |
| − | [[Talk:Shiny Main|Talk: page]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==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.
| |
| − | *[[3W Society]] - list of people, hopefully with some organization
| |
| − | 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.
