Editing SmashWiki:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 2

{{Archive}}

The '''Admin Noticeboard''' is intended to be a page to quickly alert administrators to issues that need their attention.

To make a request, statement, create a new section and provide a neutral, precise summary of events with thought-out reasoning, and, if possible, links to any pages with relevant discussions. It is also a good idea to notify any users involved with the request with a link to the section on this page. Make sure to add new sections to the bottom.

Report vandals in the following section labeled for such reports at the top using <nowiki>{{IP|Username}}</nowiki>, where Username is the name of the user or the IP vandal's IP address.

==Vandal reports==
'''Please place new vandal reports at the top of this section.'''{{clear}}

:::I'm going to believe that the user in question made their edits out of bad faith considering how the edits were made and the fact that they added the false information after they were reverted. The fact the user changed the information about Link's tier position and did it again when they were reverted the first time, counts as reinserting false information, something that is a blockable offense. While we could assume this is a new user not knowing that you're not allowed to post any opinion you want in an article, the fact that they repeatedly added false information about Link's position on the BBR's tier list is enough to block them for adding false information. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span>[[File: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 00:33, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

==Koopas==
I think that merging all Koopa-related pages together would be a good idea (which isn't too surprising, it being my idea). Describe everything in terms of Green Koopas, then explain the differences between the Green and Red versions for each form. Have one section on each of the forms of Koopa-kind: Shell; Koopa Troopa; Koopa Paratroopa. Describe how jumping on / attacking a Koopa Paratroopa turns it into a Koopa Troopa, how jumping on / attacking a Koopa Troopa turns it into a Shell for a period of time, and how these shells cannot take damage, but can be thrown to do damage, and can be destroyed by throwing them off the screen. Have two pictures of each of the forms, one of each colour, and a picture of each of the relevant trophies. Currently there are at least eight pages on Koopa-kind - there need only be one or two.<br>
I'm not sure if the Green Shell (Item) and Red Shell (Item) pages could be incorporated into the one page, as there is quite a lot to say about them (e.g. damage lists) but even if they couldn't be part of the main Koopa page, they could be made into one Shell (Item) page, removing all references to the shells found in the ''Subspace Emissary'' in ''Brawl''. The following are the Koopa pages that would be affected by the move:
*[[Green Koopa Troopa]]
*[[Red Koopa Troopa]]
*[[Green Shell]]
*[[Red Shell]]
*[[Koopa Paratroopa]]
*[[Red Koopa Paratroopa]]
*[[Green shell glitch]] (which doesn't even have an appropriate name)
*[[Red Shell Glitch]] (which is the same glitch as the above)

The answer is the new rich text editor (RTE) which I'm sure most older users disabled. It causes problems like: 
*Removing page content (images in particular).
*Breaking tables. 
*Breaks formatting by eliminating linebreaks near <nowiki><br></nowiki> tags.

Wikia response:<br>
We cant do that. Its either on at the wiki, or its off. The setting to use it is on a per user setting in their global settings, we cant make it "default off" at a wiki. So if the extension is enabled at a wiki, all the people who opt to use it can, and it is turned on in the settings of all new users (something we cant adjust per wiki, since accounts are global, they dont actually get created at any 1 wiki).
:So basically, we can't auto-disable it. I don't know what else we could do, aside from preventing IPs from editing and making new users disable the RTE themselves, but that seems rather extreme. :/ PenguinofDeath 17:59, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

:According to [w:c:guildwars:User:M.mendel], the RTE will probably never be bug-free. He thinks that unless wikia scraps the current one and designs an entirely new one, there will always be problems with it, such as image removal or messed up tables. (See [http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Tennessee_Ernie_Ford/Does_this_wiki_really_need_a_blog%3F here] for a written declaration; he also told me on IRC "I think it will never be completely bug-free when it deals with wikicode".) Seeing that auto-disable is not an option, should we consider disabling the RTE on the wiki? (Also keep in mind that we can add it later if they do get around to fixing it.)

He then told me he was imitating the users I had offended at SmashWiki and that I should tell an admin just so they could see how I had "belittled Smash Wiki to the lowest level possible".

:There's a whole bunch of reasons why we shouldn't. Among them is that freedom of expression is something we value here on Smashwiki. Another reason is that what use is it to 'control' people's words? If I have to say 'flip' instead of fuck, what are you changing? You're changing a sequence of sounds that's completely arbitrary to the meaning. If it's the negative emotion that you are trying to keep away from yourself, then you're extremely naïve. If it's the combination of the sounds that make up the word fuck that you're afraid of, you're a retard. I'm going to assume you're not a retard, and it's the negative expression that you don't like. 1) Grow up. 2) Changing the word doesn't change the capacity to express negative emotions. 3) If we all start saying 'flip' and 'crap' and 's word' and 'witch' instead of what they really mean then we sound like a bunch of tools and immature 8 year olds who have sensitive ears.

:I don't see how this is a concern. The Smash Wiki always had new users who would create an account, maybe add an avatar, and then leave. There has been no disrupting influx of those. I have notice more new users editing the mainspace constructively and this is something that is good for the progress of the Wiki, not concerning or detrimental.

Reasons why Wikia sucks: <br>
1. They complicate wiki matters, such as bureaucrats being unable to demote other bureaucrats, being unable to promote bots to perform tasks, and the lack of access to checkuser to quickly resolve sockpuppeting. These are basically unarguable; Wikia restricts admin/bureaucrat access to all of these funcationalities. That's just a fact, you can't really dispute it.<br>
2. Wikia has forced a lot of undesirable changes upon us editors. To name but a few examples:
:*The entire Monaco skin. Many users I've interacted with across 3 separate wikis believe that Monaco is not only unattractive but a drain on computer resources. It is a drain on resources-- that's a fact. Monaco is much harder on computer resources than Monobook. As always, the visual appeal of Monaco is subjective and naturally varies from one user to the next, but as I mentioned earlier, 3 separate wikis all in general disliked the Monaco skin and wanted to switch the wiki default to Monobook. Again, Wikia did not allow this, forcing numerous contributors to deal with a skin they taxed computer resources and was visually unattractive. Though it is true that registered editors could select their own alternate skin (nearly always Monobook) or edit their own Monaco skin so that is less of an eyesore, most of the traffic on wikis comes from unregistered IPs that may not even contribute, and therefore these unregistered contributers/viewers of the site were forced to use Monaco until they registered an account. As I recall, one of Wikia's decisions for designing and forcing the skin on people was that "advertisers wanted the various wikis to be uniform so that the advertisements were more effective," or something to that effect. Though my recollection may be slightly off, I am positive the Monaco skin was designed at least in part so that Wikia could make more of a profit off advertising.
:*The rich text editor. This was honestly an absolute joke. Not only did it generally fail at simplying code (which is, to the best of my knowledge, its intended purpose), it actually routinely ruined tables and other code for those experienced editors who actually knew what they were doing. A single editor compiled 13 reasons in a single post why the rich text editor sucked, and more than one code-savvy editor who really knew what they were talking about confirmed that unless Wikia completely rewrote the entire program from scratch, it was always going to be buggy. In order to disable the rich-text editor-- since it can't be disabled by each user personally, according to Wikia-- one either had to register an account and switch to Monobook (my explanation of why this is a piss-poor 'solution' is found in the above paragraph about Monaco), or the wiki in question would have to have a discussion, come to a consensus, and notify Wikia and request that it be disabled. This again is a restriction of the rights of the community to run their own wiki.<br>
3. Wikia has undoubtedly questionable morals and values in multiple respects. An example from my own experience would be the sale of the formerly-independently-owned site [http://guildwars.wikia.com GuildWiki]. The company who produced Guild Wars, ArenaNet, wanted to host their own wiki so that they could link to it from in-game. They contacted GuildWiki's former owner, Gravewit, and negotiated with him about the transfer of ownership. However, no such sale occured, because GuildWiki was previously licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA; for those of you who don't know what that means, the "NC" stands for non-commercial-- no profit was to be made off the contributions. This meant that by selling GuildWiki to ArenaNet, Gravewit would be making a profit off the contributions of others, which violated the NC clause of the site's copyright and would therefore be illegal. ArenaNet had to start their own wiki from scratch, [http://wiki.guildwars.com GuildWarsWiki] (or GWW). For a time, all was well in the land of GuildWiki... until Wikia came along. Gravewit sold the site to Wikia without even bothering to notify the community, and made over $50,000 USD on the sale. This naturally outraged many who believed their hard work had been used to make a profit for someone else, and many (understandably) left GuildWiki(a) for GWW. You may ask, what was Wikia's justification for the sale? Their lawyers said that it was perfectly legal, since Wikia was buying a domain name from Gravewit, not a community website. Legally, this holds water, but many (myself included) spotted the gaping lack of morality in the sale.

Slightly out-of-date (new skin is even worse than Monaco, stupid shit like blogs, myHome, etc), but I think the point is obvious. Also, @DP99, checkuser can be assigned to specific users like the other userright functions. <span style="font-family:vivaldi; font-size:12pt">[[User:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4">Shadowcrest</span>]]</span> 22:23, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
:::::@Megatron1: Wow. You just repeated what you already said. I already adressed those points in my last post. @Shadowcrest: Ypu have some valid points. However, Monaco and RTE can be turned off, and bureaucrats should not be able to demote each other (if one is abusing power they can just demote the other ones and nothing can be done, especially when something like Wikia Staff does not exist). <span style="background-color:#008080"><b><font face="Helvetica" color="silver">[[User:Dr. Pain 99|<font color="#ff2000">''DP99''</font>]] ([[Special:Contributions/Dr. Pain 99|<font color="silver">C</font>]][[User Talk:Dr. Pain 99|<font color="silver">T</font>]][[Special:Editcount/Dr. Pain 99|<font color="silver">E</font>]])</font> [[file:PAT.png]]</b></span> 22:32, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

There are two primary problems with us leaving here.
*"www.smashwiki.com" is currently owned by Wikia (I believe), and it won't expire until June or something.
*Anything we leave behind becomes fodder to anyone, depending on whether the technical process is a "move" or a "duplication". And if it is a "duplication", I'd rather raze the place once it's all copied over.
