eRepublik Official Wiki:To-do list/Admin Requests/2008

Suggestion for Admin poposed during 2008.

.PNG Support - Done!

One more thing; please, please add support for the .png file extension to the wiki. Templates would be so much easier to make if the images were able to scale well and have transparent backgrounds, which the .png format easily allows. The .gif extension supports transparent backgrounds, but does not scale very well; and the .jpg format scales well, but does not support transparency. It would be so much easier for me and the other editors to make images for templates if we can have transparency supported without the cost of clarity.

Template:Collapse - Done!

Any chance you can help me get this to work? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. --AgentChieftain T / H / E 22:32, 9 July 2008 (BST)

Mh... where did you get that code from?

Seems like there is no Javascript support behind it --MiniBill chat with me 07:59, 10 July 2008 (BST)

Here.

Regardless of the content of that wiki, I think this template would be incredibly handy for shrinking excessively long talk pages, like yours. --AgentChieftain T / H / E 00:19, 16 July 2008 (BST)

The other solution is to do a periodic cleanup :) --Mini "Template boy" Bill wanna chat? 08:00, 16 July 2008 (BST)

As I said before, they have a special javascript -- http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/skins/ed_global.js?63 --Mini "Template boy" Bill wanna chat? 08:17, 16 July 2008 (BST)

What changes should be made so this works for this Wiki too? --Belea2008 Hail eSouth Africa! chew the fat 21:39, 16 July 2008 (BST)

Convince admin to install the javascript file, but I really don't know how this can be done --Mini "Template boy" Bill wanna chat? 07:31, 17 July 2008 (BST)

Ah, I see.

This would eliminate the need to have to delete discussions. For important ones, like the ones in the controversial Pakistani pages, it would be helpful to save the talks for future reference. Of course, I could also archive the pages into subpages, but this script would be convenient.

Also, it can be useful for adding contracts to the wiki. Contracts are the kind of thing that you don't need to be visible, but there in case someone needs to see it. --AgentChieftain T / H / E 02:30, 17 July 2008 (BST)

Well... we won't enable JavaScript for the moment, but, give Belea2008 any instructions how to install it and the source of the script. I will personally check it out. If it is not potentially harmful, i will enable it. Meanwhile you could make a periodic cleanup... --Alecs 08:24, 17 July 2008 (BST)

To use collapsing sections copy the template code from the site AC linked, then do something to include this in every page(greasemonkey?) --Mini "Template boy" Bill wanna chat? 10:12, 17 July 2008 (BST)

Speedy deletion - Done!

• Allow some people to do administrative task, to help Admin (because now we have a little number of pages, but in the future we will have more, and they will be hard to manage by a single person).
• For example, many articles for deletion can be deleted immediately, without the need for admin to check them
  • --MiniBill chat with me 23:02, 7 July 2008 (BST)
  • --Aryamehr talk 02:48, 8 July 2008 (BST)

How this can be done? --Belea2008 Hail eSouth Africa! chew the fat 23:09, 7 July 2008 (BST)

As they do on wikipedia, you can grant many privilege levels to users, not only admin and user (e.g.: bot, bureaucrat,steward,...)--MiniBill chat with me 09:18, 8 July 2008 (BST)

Also, when nominating articles for deletion, you can give an option to nominate it for a Speedy Deletion, so someone can just swing by and delete a fake article. --AgentChieftain T / H / E

Yes we should have this, but I think we will have it after v1 is launched. --Cristesco bla bla bla 13:59, 14 July 2008 (BST)

Common.js - Done!

Template talk:SouthAfrica

Yeah, the admin has to install MediaWiki:Common.js -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js

• Purpose -- create templates like this one: Wikipedia:South Africa (the bottom one) --Belea2008 10:41, 11 October 2008 (PDT)

Localized templates - Done!

[1] Please make the edits written in "Enabling for all namespaces" asap, I need them for the new LangMenu to work, and for localized templates to work --Mini "Template boy" Bill have a biscuit 22:11, 30 December 2008 (EET)

This changement would simplify the process needed to translate pages, and would allow the automatic insertion of translated templates, depending on the page language --Mini "Template boy" Bill have a biscuit 18:48, 10 January 2009 (EET)

Template:USERNAME - Canceled!

Please add this magic word (I'm gonna use it to provide template localization support) --Mini "Template boy" Bill wanna chat? 19:00, 9 September 2008 (BST)

More details? What do you want to do (and the exact steps for this to work)? :D --Belea2008 10:29, 11 October 2008 (PDT)

Needed no more :) (Admin, you can clear it if you want) --Mini ^"Template" Bill bother me! 18:05, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
