*We're potentially going to run into a problem with the way we do AOTW I think. If we use <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki> to carve up articles into AOTW-friendly formats and that article is the default page we show for a given disambig then we're going to break that disambig page since we use inclusion to display that default page. hmm. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 17:51, 5 December 2006 (EST)) |
|||
* Looks like it! BTW, I should be back full-time on Monday (project is wrapping up) -- anything major I've missed in the last two weeks?--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:51, 7 February 2008 (EST) |

**The server crashed and I single-handedly recreated the entire site... :) Nothing major, just a few fun graphic novels. Evolutions has been quite slow lately. Glad to see you back. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:54, 7 February 2008 (EST) |
|||
*** Yeah, I was thinking we may have to do that. Just wanted to bring it up before we started going through and tagging the articles. Would be great if MediWiki let you transclude specific sections in an article (without having to do something messy like breaking it up into separate pages per section and then transcluding the sections that way) ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 18:00, 5 December 2006 (EST)) |
|||
*** Please... as if I don't keep backups. :) As for the intuitive aptitude, that's really neat. I find it amusing when I see people call it that even on Wikipedia when I believe it was a term Hardvice coined right here. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 20:49, 7 February 2008 (EST)) |
|||
****There's not a way to user ParserFunctions to test if a page is loaded from a redirect or not, is there? That would let us fix the disambig problem instead ... just put the notice on if the pagename doesn't equal the link name or whatever.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:05, 5 December 2006 (EST) |

**** [http://heroeswiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:Sylar&diff=next&oldid=9670 The proof is in the pudding]. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:08, 7 February 2008 (EST) |

***** The following parser variables do '''not''' show a difference between a Redirect and a Real Page: PAGENAME SUBPAGENAME ARTICLESPACE ARTICLEPAGENAME ... I don't think there's a way to do it. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 18:22, 5 December 2006 (EST) |
|||
*****I'm glad to see it got shown on tonight's episode. Not all of us get to impact the show in such a way, y'know? --[[User:Piemanmoo|Piemanmoo]] 02:40, 17 February 2009 (EST) |
|||
****** Damn. I'd much rather have [[Hiro]] link to [[Hiro Nakamura]] than be a dummy redirect page. The objection to the disambig notice was that it was too obtrusive, right? Maybe we can just stick a "For other uses of the term [[Hiro]], see [[Hiro (disambig)]]" note in the Notes section, rather than putting a disambig note at the top. That we, we also don't have to worry about people linking to [[Hiro]] (and now [[Mohinder]]) and the reader getting a page they can't edit.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:28, 5 December 2006 (EST) |
|||
****** There may be a way to do it. I think if you do an #ifeq between the FULLURL and the LOCALURL + PAGENAME, that will pick up the difference between the reference page and the real page. The Reference will have a URL of what you clicked, while the Variable will have the name of the articled display. If these are different, you are in a Reference, and not the real article. I will test when I get home. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 18:51, 5 December 2006 (EST) |
|||
****** Is Redirect: {{#ifeq: {{localurl:{{PAGENAME}}}} | {{concat:/|{{PAGENAME}}}} | 'yes' | 'no' }} |
|||
****** Never mind... found that the Wiki Documentation says that variables are rendered based upon the article in which they exist... not the parent article that may subst or redirect to that article. |
|||
<PRE> |
|||
For the rendering on page A, these variables depend on page A, |
|||
even if page A contains the variable due to inclusion of page B. |
|||
Variables in the sort key of a category tag refer to the page with |
|||
the tag, not the category page where it takes effect. |

Why was the autocategorization for [[:Category:Characters]] [http://heroeswiki.com/index.php?title=Template%3ACharacter_box&diff=160568&oldid=158029 removed]? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:18, 7 May 2008 (EDT) |
|||
Dave, could you explain to me how Google hits work? I mean, is it possible to increase our hits there? How does Google determine which sites to list first? - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 00:38, 6 December 2006 (EST) |

** Basically, if you run a legitimate site and don't try to beat their system, then if you're in fact one of the best sources, then you'll be ranked way up there. Lots of people spend time doing search engine optimization and then the search engines change their algorithms and you and up dropping. Basically if we work towards having the most and best content, then we'll do well in the rankings because lots of people will voluntarily link to us and Google's indexes will have our content indexed. I can also tell you that in my experience Google looks at the age of the site as well... and since we were basically the second major wiki for Heroes info (first being Wikipedia) we will do well in the rankings.

[http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Family_Trees Lostpedia] are trying to do a Family Tree thing like the ones here. I don't know if you watch LOST, but I heard you could make the trees.

* Hey, Hardvice. Concerning the deletions, what do you consider to be obsolete images? ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 14:27, 8 December 2006 (EST)) |
|||
** When we have a duplicate of exactly the same image. If the new one's better, I move it into the old one and delete so we don't have to relink 30 articles.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 14:29, 8 December 2006 (EST) |
|||
*** Ok, perfect, thanks! ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 14:38, 8 December 2006 (EST)) |
|||
*** I wish there was some way to see the images from various episodes. Maybe we could add a catagory, to help break them up.. and reduce the chance of duplicates (which appears to be a chronic problem in my case). -- ([[User:Yoshie|Yoshie]] 14:30, 8 December 2006 (EST)) |
|||
**** We can add extra categories for images by episode (like <nowiki>[[Category: Images from Genesis]]</nowiki> or something like that). It'd be some work, but it would be beneficial in the long run.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 14:35, 8 December 2006 (EST) |

Hey Hardvice. Would you mind calling upon the awesome gun IDing skills of your partner to tell what kind of [[the Bennets' gun]] is? Thanks! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 02:00, 1 June 2008 (EDT) |

**I'm not an expert in firearms, but there's an image [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Taurus-605-left.jpg] on Wikipedia that closely resembles the Bennet's gun. Here's a black version of it: [http://www.waffen-hanje.de/Hanje-27-10-03/Taurus-605.jpg] [[User:Chrisyu357|Chrisyu357]] 14:04, 22 June 2008 (EDT) |
|||
*** I'm not an expert either, but the grip in [[:Image:Noah_grabs_his_gun.jpg|this image]] doesn't match (the Taurus 605 model's grip is not a complete arc like the Bennets' gun). The barrel of the 605 looks too long and it doesn't match the grip of Bennets' gun. I think it's something like the [http://www.meprolightoutlet.com/item/9863_Taurus_Hand_Guns_Pistols__85__Ultra_Light_Re.aspx Taurus 85 Ultra Light], but with a wooden grip. Does that look right, Hardvice? Are there other manufacturers that you know of that have a similar make?--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:16, 22 June 2008 (EDT) |

Dave, thanks for the info on getting old pics ... PS, I agree that, though a lot of work, categories for pics from each episode might really be a good idea. Maybe a hiatus project. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 16:35, 8 December 2006 (EST) |

* I fixed [[Portal:Guest Cast/Season Two]], but I left the maintenance tag in case you want to edit it some more. You needed to add a table around the entries, and do one call of Template:gueststarsnavcell per line for it to work properly.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 01:52, 18 September 2008 (EDT) |
|||
**Your fix worked, but not in the way I wanted it to. It will fix the pictures, but not the link. I don't know what to fix, so I started down the route of just manually making templates. However, if there's a way to have the link for the second page of season 2 to link to Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season Two or if the season was one, Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season One, then I wouldn't have to manually fix it. The template works like a charm with the season aspect, but it doesn't change the link. That's the problem, and if that's fixed, that would be a great help.--{{User:Baldbobbo/sig}} 02:29, 18 September 2008 (EDT) |

*** Right, for the Season One Guest Stars archive, we made a new template instead of using Template:gueststarsnavcell. That template isn't set up to do the archive links, so making a new template was the way to go. I'll look at making a new template so we can consider whether or not to swap out the manual ones.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 11:11, 18 September 2008 (EDT) |
