Welcome to the so-far Unofficial Floor Pi Wiki. We're still getting set up now, but feel free to contribute.
+
Things that would be cool to have:
 +
* [[Hall Anarchy]]/[[3W Resources]] --> I've updated with all the relevant things I remember, but people should read it and figure out if I'm missing somehting important
 +
* People actually putting at least 1 relevant thing on their wiki page.
 +
* Update resturants. (Come on, it doesn't have Sate or Rebeccas's :*() [mostly done, --Julian]
 +
**Also I want to food mob next year to some of these places if they still exist
 +
* Wtf is [[Category:Places|Places]] Category:Places for and why is it in main contents. [Not anymore --ixa 06/21/18]]
 +
* Actually, rework the contents sidebar so that it's only useful/updated pages? (i.e, maybe remove/update some categories?) [--done by ixa 06/21/18, mostly]
 +
* MOAR PICTURES pictures are cute and fun and great
 +
* A list of books in tvl?
 +
* Rules/Conventions for board games in each of the pages (see [[Hanabi]] or [[Castlefall]])
 +
* I feel like the who-said-it could use a better archive/history (i.e, more quotes on the page). If I can figure out how to get a script running, I will
 +
* '''MORE MEMES why do we not have millions of memes we've certainly experienced enough on hall'''
 +
* Update [[Hall History]]? I can only do things with the past 2 sem, if people want to add more stuff they know that would be great.
 +
* Template for Indiv. Board/Video game pages.
 +
* Games made by pizens
 +
* A page for the weird mix-and-match games we make (Choose your own role mafia, choose your own pile nim, choose your own alignment-and-card coup, etc..) [--initialized category, people should add their games -ixa 06/21/18]]
 +
* Pages for people interests: oragami, puzzles, rhythm games, etc. They'd be cool to have, I think?
 +
* If you can think of less boring titles/good puns for anything, you should put that it in. You can move articles to pages with a new title :P (See [[Hall Admin]]/[[Hall Anarchy]])
 +
* Wow, the [[TV Lounge|TVL]] article could use some more stuff too
 +
* More info for cool comm ideas/responsiblities/descriptions at [[Hall Comms]]
 +
* Past floorpi tshirt designs (including proposed and chosen designs)
 +
* Choose-you-own wiki adventure
 +
I'll update this with more ideas as I get them, and try to do some myself if I have the time?? Also pls discuss more ideas :)

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.
