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

[[User:Mmtanner|Mmtanner]] 02:02, 18 November 2007 (EST)
−
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.
