| − | Um, I just saw all the reverts. Looks like a spam fest has started. =( [[User:Amaury|Amaury]] 13:28, 27 January 2008 (CST)
| + | You're scaring the life out of me with that font and banner. I know that you guys need money, but ask around for something other than $50 a month for a server. Hell, ask at the new Touhou wikia. [[User:Mask no Oni|Mask no Oni]] 04:28, 20 December 2010 (UTC) |
| − | * Spambot attacks happen every so often here. It took me a grand total of 7 minutes to undo their damage, so much for wasting my time. Luckily the wiki system makes it easy for the damage they do to be undone.- [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 13:59, 27 January 2008 (CST) | + | * Wikia not only means tons of stupid ads, it also means looking like absolute shit and being beholden to certain standards beyond our control. And it wouldn't work out for other reasons. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 04:41, 20 December 2010 (UTC) |
| − | *That's good. Why do people have to vandalize pages? Where's the pleasure in it? People who create spam-bots are just so immature. [[User:Amaury|Amaury]] 14:02, 27 January 2008 (CST)

| − | == Main page overhaul ==
| + | I know about Wikia, and Wikia's out of the question rhetorically. You're covered for this month, but do you guys have a link at PSU World or anything? [[User:Mask no Oni|Mask no Oni]] 06:27, 20 December 2010 (UTC) |
| − | It's been talked about many, many times before (with one such discussion right below this one), but I think we really need to try our best to focus on designing a new front page. What we have now has gotten to the point of sloppy, to be honest. And I realized that when we remove the horizontal navigation section from it in place of the sidebar nav-system, we'll have a lot of empty space that would look best if it were filled with something. I've been trying to come up with a new design, but for some reason I can't come up with something that I actually like. I'll keep trying, of course, but I wanted to see if anyone else had something to propose. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 13:34, 10 January 2008 (CST)

| − | * Step one: figure out what you want to put on the main page, for starters. Step two: organize it all nice and neat. As far as content goes, the Photon Fortune log and event-related articles are good. Maybe a "What's New" section wouldn't be bad either. No banners or logos or anything flashy though. [[User:Sekani|Sekani]] 20:38, 10 January 2008 (CST)
| |
| − | ** Yeah, photon fortune and the updates section are must-haves. Also the basic intro to the wiki. I'd like to have a dedicated events section like you said, that we can use to highlight articles on current or upcoming events. The in-game updates section could be taken from its current table form and put into normal text like the intro so that it'd take up more space. Hell, we could even take the little blurb we write for each update from the news section and paste it on the front page as opposed to a link that would link to the news page which would link to the actual update. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 09:31, 11 January 2008 (CST)
| |
| − | *** I can't think of any good ideas that don't involve some kind of dynamic content (as in daily or weekly updating). A featured article, for example. Or maybe a user spotlight. I guess you could fill out the bottom with a mini-gallery of random uploaded screenshots. - [[User:Sekani|Sekani]] 23:51, 11 January 2008 (CST)
| |
| − | **** I've worked a little more on a [[User:EspioKaos/Sandbox/Main_page|possible tweaking]]. Really, all I added to what I had before is the box in the lower right which highlights upcoming events and missions. I figure that might be good to have up front so visitors will know what to expect down the line. Of course, I need to come up with a better color scheme for it, as all I did was copy-pasta the box for the recent updates section. <_<; - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 22:47, 13 January 2008 (CST)
| |
| − | * I've played around with it some more. Despite originally wanting to move away from the bottom navigation section completely, I came to realize that maybe it's not such a bad idea to keep. Really, all we need to do is clean it up. A lot. Though I'm very fond of a sidebar nav-system, I've realized that with all of the stuff we need to keep listed there, it will very quickly become overgrown; especially if/when we get around to adding an offline data section. If there were a way to collapse menus in the sidebar, it wouldn't be a problem, but since we can't, another option is to shave down some of the "lesser" articles over there and keep it to the big stuff. We can keep a table of contents on the front page that lists most everything that the visitors want, all categorized and divided up into nice, even tables. Currently, I've got five columns of stuff. I figure that shouldn't be a strain on the recommended screen resolution, but since I'm on a widescreen monitor at work, I'm not certain. If it looks weird, someone let me know so I can take it down to four columns. Either way, I'd like some suggestions on what else to add to the list. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 09:53, 14 January 2008 (CST)

| − | ==Main Page Modifications==
| |
| − | It seems I've gotten a tad bit lazy :P, I've started working back on a news-script, right now the idea of it, is to have the last submitted news displayed, then the previous 4-6 entries' headlines displayed with links to their respective entries. A similar idea for the PSU updates, except it will continue in the same format that it is now. Any ideas/suggestions? --[[User:HitomiCHAN|HitomiCHAN]] 06:08, 30 January 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | * A couple, actually.
| |
| − | ** I'd like to suggest we cut the "Navigation" section down considering a number of the links on it are to articles that are out-of-date (see: the planets) or for detailing elements of the game that were fascinating before the game's release but common knowledge now.
| |
| − | ** I'd also like to see the page's layout get sorted out. As things are the Navigation bar looks horrendous above 800x600 and the page's appearance is VERY dependant on the amount of "News" there is. Too little or (as seen until my cutbacks) too much and it appears horribly ugleh, which is a bit of a problem considering it's the [[Main Page]]. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 10:58, 4 February 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | * Eek! The "PSU Updates" box there makes the Photon Fortune box shrivel in fear in any resolution under 1600x1200.
| |
| − | ** Actually, it's just hit me. When did the [[News]] page cover only PSU updates? Formerly it was for wiki news as well. It seems a large part of the problem with the main page since Christmas has been the separation of game updates and PSUPedia news. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 12:54, 25 February 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | ** Well, yeah.. but ever since the period of August~November there's just been a lot less news for any of those altogether. D: - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 17:23, 25 February 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | *** Maybe so but had we shoved those into the [[News]] section we might've been able to do something about the failed spatial awareness test that is our constantly moving things that don't fit around the Main Page. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 02:01, 26 February 2007 (CST)

| | | | |
| − | * Been throwing around various ideas and possible layouts for the Main Page this morning. I've made a [http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y38/mikaga/psu/mainpagemockup.png mockup] of one such attempt I feel works quite well (save the "Navigation" menu which should receive significant changes no matter what happens). - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 14:07, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
| + | On a completely different subject, the luck listing for 12-23-10 is all wrong, male casts only have 1 luck today. check pso-world for the correct luck list[[User:Jed sisko|Jed sisko]] 13:58, 23 December 2010 (UTC) |
| − | ** I like it, and yeah, the Navigation menu needs a drastic change, perhaps make it a single horizontal box with each section on one horizontal line (and colour-coded as it currently is). [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 20:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
| |
| − | *** Had a quick shot at making the mockup work. First of all I can't get the "PSU Updates" box spaced right under the Photon Fortune box >.< and second it occurs to me that the Photon Fortune box ([http://www.psupedia.info/extensions/PhotonFortune/LuckToday.html see here]) is quite squashed on the Main Page for resolutions under 1600x1200 or so. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 01:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | | | |
| − | * Started to look at ideas for a new Navigation menu since the current one has about 300 ancient/redundant links. As evidenced [[User:Miraglyth/Sandbox|here]], I've clearly not spent long enough trying! - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 23:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | | | |
| − | * Hey, i think it would be a good idea to add the guise section into the general info bar, not enough ppl realize it exists, and it could become big. Also on another note, lets do the pic of the day as mentioned previously, its a good idea. - [[Loki|Loki]] 1:43, 6 April 2007 (CST)

| − | | |
| − | I have tried to add the male cast stats from lvl 53 and 54. Both times it says that it failed the HP calculation. I know I am doing it right because I have added stats for male beast and female beast. Please let your friend know this as I cannot find an email link on the webpage at all! [[User:Mrurl42|Mrurl42]] 11:06, 11 January 2007 (CST)

| − | * Apologies; notified her of the fallacy. It'd have been nicer if the rest of the site was a bit more open already (though it doesn't really have anything yet), but alas. >_< - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 17:47, 11 January 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | ** Ya. I tried to find an email addy on the site, or at least a comment section to leave her the comment directly. Prolly why there is so little data for male casts tho :P
| |
| − | * There's a small bug in the code that I can't figure out to where it won't calculate out a stat for one of the classes properly. The only solution that I could conceive was to just have the user that got that issue to post the stats that it bugs out on. Though now it seems to be happening more than I thought it would. It only happened to me once out of over 30 levels...<br><br>However, I've started on something a little better for this. It'll basicly just involve having the user check to see if some calculated stats match theres and if they don't submitt a picture or something. I can now calculate out the stats within 1 point of the correct value and this will help straighten out this issue. I just need to finish figuring it out for all of the race/sex combos and then figure out how to do the picture upload thing ;x --[[User:Soukosa|Soukosa]] 19:20, 12 January 2007 (CST)

| − | These unregistered users making pointless edits are getting beyond the joke. Leaving a line of what they think of a weapon if the weapon doesn't have a page and so on. Anyway we can force registration? It'll save a lot of time wasted by reverting these edits. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 19:13, 16 December 2006 (PST)

| |
| − | * Actually, I'm wondering about this as well. Not sure how I could get around to making global changes now that the wiki is already set up though; I really need to find out about that. >_< - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 02:40, 17 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | * I agree with Jubei here. Not only are they making pointless edits, but we also have no idea who they are. At least if they are forced to register we can associate a name with the edit, rather than a number. 99% of all vandalism comes from anonymous users as well, so it'll present an obstacle for those users. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 09:23, 17 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | * After having reconsidered, I'm starting to think this might not be such a great idea after all. I believe that if users would need to register in order to vandalize, they would just register (likely incognito) before vandalizing. Really, we could just ban the IPs anyway; I think this way it's actually a lot easier to find potential vandalism, while still not really scaring regular users away. Maybe it's kinda subjective, but eh, if you still insist and know to change this, I wouldn't mind. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 09:31, 17 December 2006 (PST)

| |
| − | * I just mean some random contributed screenshot of someone's gameplay, placed somewhere on the main page with a small description and a heading of "Daily Screenshot" or something similar. Is there a way to do a gallery on a wiki? or could you just make a table of old screens if this is going to be done? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 03:17, 25 November 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | * Ahzi never installed the gallery feature. I think we should do the Daily Screenshot, because I'm not putting the other three templates until we get a fourth to occupy a lot of empty space lol. The thumbnail size for the picture will have to be 310px or less in width and 200px in height, but because of how much extra space we have we could use two pictures and split them up. I'm still having trouble finishing the new luck template, because I have to fit the Photon Fortune head.PNG into it (this makes it pretty and best of all larger, the pictures/descriptions can be longer now), and it's not allowing me a color border, so until you give me a go for the idea, I'll keep trying this one. Check out my talk page if you want to see how I'll be setting the templates on the main page, or ask me on my talk page (it's getting lonely) for the text if you feel ambitious enough to finish the luck template and make a color border for it. [[User:SAsim|Asim]] 06:06, 9 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | * A few screenshots of the giant trees and christmas decorations would be most fitting right now, wouldnt it? I just uploaded one if you'd like to use it. Sorry for the low quality tho, since i run on 800x600 window mode resolution. I'd upload more, but I'm dead tired. I'm off for now. --[[User:Megaman|Mega]] 10:16, 10 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | * I'll look into integrating Flickr-like functionality, but I wouldn't know how to get this 'screenshot of the day' thing running, nor who'd look after it. The image is probably good for the Events/Updates sections though, together with a news article. Miraglyth, where are you? :wacko: - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 08:49, 11 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | ** How about a group of people handle it? Maybe get a few of us in IRC to handle it, since most of us do edits here anyway? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 16:43, 11 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | *** I'm all for stuff like this. Uh ... I'm not knowledgable on how to run a wiki, but isn't there a way people can upload their screenshots to a specific pool of such images separate of the file repository we've already got, and then the team JubeiSaotome mentioned would pick which one(s) to use each day? - [[User:F Gattaca|F Gattaca]] 13:19, 12 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | **** That would most likely eat up bandwidth, especially if people don't save them in the right format. Default raw PSU images are up to 5mb. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 00:44, 13 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | ***** Does Wiki even allow people to upload bitmaps? At least, in my experience, Wiki refuses bitmaps. On my first attempt to upload a picture for my user page, my paint program didn't save it as a jpg even though I specified that as the file extension (whoops); PSUP didn't accept it. When I realized what was wrong and correctly saved it as a jpg, then it did.<br><br>... Heh. I just realized, 'PSUP' sounds like Pea Soup. - [[User:F Gattaca|F Gattaca]] 09:22, 14 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | ****** maybe, but NO BITMAPS, we needto get people to use Adobe's save for web functions, or are there programs that are free that people could use to convert their images to a smaller size without losing any quality? Saving for web can reduce an image size from 3mb to 150kb --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 16:44, 14 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | ******* Well, like I said ... based on my experiences, I don't think the wiki accepts bitmaps ''at all.'' That makes sense given that bitmaps are not web-friendly and I don't think that many web browsers can even ''display'' them (certainly not many of the older ones). I don't think we have to worry about ''anyone'' uploading five megabyte pictures to the wiki.<br><br>As for a program that'd convert PSU's bitmap screenshots to a web-friendly format--Adobe's programs are not necessary for this. The "save for web" feature you mention, I'm almost sure you're talking about converting a file to .JPG.<br><br>Any PC with a Windows OS should have MS Paint. It's very simple and easy to use, too. Save a file as a .JPG and bam, a 1024x768 screenshot is now 130 KB. - [[User:F Gattaca|F Gattaca]] 17:15, 14 December 2006 (PST)

| − | ******* I think a screenshot of the day would be nice, as well as a Page dedicated specifically to the Events, along with screen shots, similar to the one describing the known events, but One that lists them as they occure, along with reported findings and such for each one. ^^ [[User:Kitomi|Kitomi]] 16:50, 25 December 2006 (CST)

| − | ********* I would suggest giving only specific people rights to it, and they could be responsable for covering the event, like a reporter would. Even the large - game changing updates could be considered an event in that case as well, though the holliday events and special events would be much more entertaining.

| |
| − | * Hm, never thought about that before. We were kinda considering to get rid of the clover/vine image though. I'm not much of an artist myself, so maybe someone else could make something better to replace that and the site icon. I'm fine with anything really; there are probably plenty of creative people out there. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]]
| |
| − | * If and when it does get changed, the icon on the search plugin would need to be changed to maintain professionalism. If for some reason I'm not around to do that, use [http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/cgi/data/data this place] to turn a 16x16 .gif with the necessary transparencies into the base-64 encoded data that you can insert into the .xml by editing it as a text file. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 04:11, 11 November 2006 (PST)

| − | * I think we need a logo, not imagery. It should be something simple, yet something people can recognize us by. Take the clothing shop icon for instance, it's a tshirt, related to what it's selling and you always know thats where to buy clothes on PSU. Why not an icon related to a dictionary or an encyclopedia? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 21:18, 13 December 2006 (PST)

| |
| − | * I personally don't have any artistic capabilities whatsoever, but anyway, [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Skins this page] explains the skinning stuff a bit. Moreover, one could just check the skins of other major wiki projects, like the [http://www.wowwiki.com/Main_Page WoW one]. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 10:29, 15 December 2006 (PST)

| − | * I saw that a new logo for the upper-right was created. It's a very nice design, but I think you can see the quality of the screenshot that it was taken from. I had a lil bit of spare time and a tad bit of boredom, and I cleaned it up a tad. I hope it looks okay.<br/><br/>I also know how to make a favicon for a webpage. If y'all like the cleaned up logo I made, I can probably create an .ico file from this page logo to use for a favicon. ^-^<br/>--[[User:Kietrinia|Kit]] 11:59, 10 January 2008 (CST)

| − | === Favicon ===
| |
| − | * I like the idea of a favicon. I say go ahead with it. :) Also, any chance of making an 88x31 banner icon based on this? <_<; I'd like to have something I could add to the links on my website for this place, but I suck at the whole icon-making thing. Maybe it could have the new logo on the left and "PSUPedia" on the right side of it. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 12:13, 10 January 2008 (CST)
| |
| − | ** I went ahead and made one. I can't upload it to the wiki, so I'll just dump it in my own file space. --> [http://kietrinia.gryvon.net/Misc/PSUPedia-favicon.ico Link to ico file, please save and reupload]. It doesn't matter where you upload the file. I'd personally recommend the wiki's root directory. :P<br/><br/>Here's how to enable it. You need to open up the root directory for the wiki, and open+edit the file "LocalSettings.php" (use Dreamweaver if you have it, or use WordPad. Notepad'll create all kinds of gunk :P). Then you need to add the following code to that file and save it back where you found it. The icon should propagate within a few minutes.<br/>

| − | ==CSS and table background images==
| |
| − | Did a bit of experimenting offline:
| |
| − | #Tag each of the main page tables with an ID (or class).
| |
| − | #Add to MediaWiki:Monobook.css (or Common.css) the following:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <id or class name> {
| |
| − | background-image: url('image name');
| |
| − | background-position: bottom right (attachment point);
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Can't seem to put it directly into the style for the table because MediaWiki kills the entire style if there's a url() in there.

| − | So there was a rumor circulating that the Goggle item acquired in the online story mission had more use to it than just scanning flaming flowers in "The Masked Woman" mission. I set out to bust this myth, and to my surprise its actually true. I found a tree in Parum with a glowing sphere (meaning its scannable). I scanned it, then chopped it down and received an item. :D I havent checked around anywhere other than Mad Creatures C(Found 2 so far. One in block 1 and 2.) but this may hopefully lead to new paths in missions never before ventured. Anyways, how bout we start an article on these Goggles? If anyone wants to volunteer to do it, i have screenies to support it.
