eRepublik Official Wiki:Bar/July2010

July

New namespace

...it is called "One" (example: One:Test) - it will be used in order to move page for historical reasons (the new namespace is not defulat searchable, thus if you move something there, it would not appear in the common searches). There's only one "guideline" when archiving pages (at version changes): do not link the new userspace to other namespaces - example: Beta:Fight page. Let me know if you have questions or suggestions! --Belea2008 17:09, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I think it should be named "V1", sounds better. --

Grzechooo ^{drop a line} 12:28, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I never saw a namespace with a number in it (and I did not want to risk it). I do not know if it is possible to have a NS with a number in it. --Belea2008 12:37, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Huh, if it's risky then "One" is good. --

Grzechooo ^{drop a line} 16:26, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible to write here what editors think that should be moved? So that they don't move something that shouldn't be moved, so that sysops won't have to move it back! :D --AndyCro

Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 18:02, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Well, we need a master listing of what's actually in V1 and V1 only, a list of articles to update from One: to Rising:, and a list of articles that don't yet exist that should exist for eRep Rising.

- Jameson L. Tai ^talk/_{United States Rangers} 10:10, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

I would also like to request that in this next few weeks no one delets the redirects, maybe we could even protect the redirects to be deleted only by sysops. There will be a lot of migration which will bring some articles to be reviewed for its links. Thank you. --AndyCro

Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 20:43, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

I could try to build up a database of all relevant eRepublik articles if you want? Something like this (sample of the review by letters A and B): --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 12:39, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Page	Moved	Note	Review by
API list		Should be reviewed after Rising will be implemented
Achievements	NO	It remains the same	AndyCro
Accepting citizenship
Alerts
Alliance
Average production cost
Battlefield	Yes	Sampo has already update it	Sampo
Buy gold

Good idea, Andy! Let us know if you need our help with the creation of the table. --Belea2008 14:51, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Let the update begin

Next week we will launch eRepublik Rising - the site will be put in maintenance mode Tuesday (6th of July), starting with 02:00 (eRepublik time). When V1 was launched, we have spent an entire Romanian day and night in order to update the Wiki (we = the team + QJ :D) and it was painful and scary. We pulled it through eventually! (it is QJ's fault)

I propose we start a bit earlier this time (as in 5 days earlier), because (a) I do not wish to be so painful and scary and (b) I think more time brings better quality. That's the good news....

The not so good news: Rising will be launched without an "Advisor" in it - thus new citizens will have to rely heavily on the Wiki. Here's how we did it when V1 was launched: this Tutorial was created and there's was a big skyscraper banner guiding new citizen to that Wiki page.

Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.... --Belea2008 17:19, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Formulas

I still believe that new formulas should be released for everything. That way this wiki will mean something more and have more practical uses than just a regurgitation of eRepublik Insider articles. - Jameson L. Tai ^talk/_{United States Rangers} 17:29, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Publishing the formulas in a sandbox is on my today's (long) to do list. --Belea2008 12:17, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Let me know if you need more formulas. --Belea2008 14:21, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I have a question about the formulas: is it true that 400 productivity points equals to about 40 production points (resources) for weapon companies while the same 400 productivity points equals to about 1 production point (stone) for construction companies (houses etc.)? Garabeda 10:23, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

I do not fully understand what you mean with the term "production points". --Belea2008 19:51, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Does this information answer to your question?

http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/User:Sampo555/Sandbox/Core/Conversion_2

--Belea2008 19:58, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, this is exactly what I needed. In that case I think that houses and hospitals will need awful lot of time to be completed. And if productivity points equals different customization points that will be misleading for new players (and even for old ones). I think if hospital need 500 times more working hours to be completed than change the raw materials instead the productivity formula. It's stupid one hospital to need 200 stone but 1 000 000 (1 million) productivity points. In the same time one Q5 weapon will need more iron (250) but a lot less time - 2 500 productivity points - which is confusing IMHO. Garabeda 14:38, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

SkillMultiplier

Q: What is SkillMultiplier?
A: SkillMultiplier = skill level - and you can find skill levels here: http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Professions

--Belea2008 20:37, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Migration

Q: During migration working days will be calculated with as 24 training hours? With what wellness and happiness?
A: 8 hours (work), 8 hours (train), Health = 100%, Happiness = 100%.

--Belea2008 20:52, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Regarding this one (while we wait for the answer), I have no idea how relevant it is for a citizen to know that much level of detail. --Belea2008 20:52, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

It is really unbelievable that people like to KNOW things, is it? :-/--Quicksilver 05:33, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

No, not unbelievable. Just intriguing! --Belea2008 11:20, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Seems we found "Economy progress is calculated considering a default of Working for 8 Hours & Learning for 4 hours, with 100 Health / 100 Happiness, each skill everyday." Please, confirm or refute. And we need the same information for military skill --Frike 09:07, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Refute. That table is made for having a general view regarding how fast a citizen can progress. --Belea2008 11:20, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Answer updated. --Belea2008 10:51, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Why is default migration an equal division of the skills? This way those who might want to come back after some time away, will have shitty low, useless skills both military and economically, and lose incentive to play immediately. IMHO default migrations should be 100 % to one skill. --Quicksilver 20:13, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Please send these types of queries to beta[at]erepublik[dot]com. --Belea2008 09:21, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Why? I haven't got a single answer from that address.--Quicksilver 10:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Send me a PM in game about it and I'll see what I can do about that. Thanks in advance! --Belea2008 10:06, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I fail to see why it is such a touchy question so it gets no answer.--Quicksilver 17:52, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Custom migrations can be perceived as a way to reward the current most active and informed citizens. You entered eRepublik in the migration period = you had access to the migration panel. And the team has announced the migrations with a lot of time before eRepublik Rising was implemented. I'm curious: why should not we reward active citizens by offering them a custom migration panel? --Belea2008 07:50, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I deleted my answer because you have never been interested in opposing opinions.--Quicksilver 15:17, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I only tell this to the others who might read this: It is not a reward to handle migrations logically - therefore admins did not reward anyone but punished 2/3 of the players for no crime at all. --Quicksilver 18:24, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. Why should I change my holiday time just for the sake of erep, when it was scheduled way before the migration was scheduled? And wonder why the migration was scheduled to be in the mid of summer, when many people are not at home... I feel I was punished, sir, I do. Even though it seems I also gained on it (that is, now I can choose the best paying jobs without regard to skills :) Amrod Falassion 10:06, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Hit chance

Q: What is "attacker rank critical hit chance"?
A: attacker rank critical hit chance = AHC

--Belea2008 21:00, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Happiness decrease

Q: How much will happiness decrease while a) Working, b) Training, c) Studying? -- sampo555 | Talk 17:26, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
- a) Working
  - HealthLoss = Q (of the company)
  - HappinessLoss = HoursSpent
- b) Training
  - HealthLoss = 1 (for each train session)
  - HappinessLoss = HoursSpent
- c) Studying
  - HealthLoss = 1 (for each learn session)
  - HappinessLoss = HoursSpent

--Belea2008 09:18, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

How much - if any - will the wellness and happiness decrease if a character does nothing?--Quicksilver 17:49, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

What "the team" will do

Does this mean that the eRepublik team will update the wiki and all my work will be useless? -- sampo555 | Talk 17:57, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

No, it mean that I (the team) will provide all the information needed in order to update the Wiki (and in case we do not finish until that maintenance mode, step in and finish the rest of the updates). --Belea2008 12:17, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I have a bit stupid question. When the team will provide us with all the information? I mean, we have to organize our work, don't we? Btw, I think I can make a tutorial for new citizens of New World. --

Caroline au Marymont|Talk to me. 16:37, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I have access to all the information. The main idea is that, if you need info, either you leave a comment here or tell me about it in #wiki and I'll put the information in a sandbox (look at the above section to see what I mean). --Belea2008 16:45, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Changed MediaWiki pages

--Belea2008 17:26, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

What are our instructions?

Alright, as a translator, I have begun translating pages, but we editors need to fully understand what exactly are doing. I will post what I believe would be the best way to do at this point. If you disagree, cut into the bullet and express your opinions.

Outdated V1 articles not used in eRepublik Rising should be moved into the One: namespace.

All V1 articles should be added to Category:eRepublik Version 1

Outdated V1 information on article titles shared with eRepublik Rising should be moved to One: namespace, but the redirect from the move should be used instead to generate the new information under the same name with eRepublik Rising content. At the end of that article, a link to the old V1 article should be provided at the bottom of the article as a "Further Reading" link. These articles should be added to Category:eRepublik Legacy Articles

New eRepublik Rising articles should be added to Category:eRepublik Rising

Please let me know your thoughts on this. It will make all future systematic edits much smoother. - Jameson L. Tai ^talk/_{United States Rangers} 22:22, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

+1 - I think it would keep the wiki organised and help us to see which pages haven't been moved yet!

Rowan Quigley ^{Talk to me!} 01:59, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

+1 agreed. ----

Tim Veltkamp| Nubcakes? 06:28, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

+1 You sum it up very well. --Belea2008 09:08, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

-1 Jameson has explained this very well, but do we really need this many new categories... I have noticed that on some articles we now have two categories, and will your categorization make categories like Category:Playing the Game, Category:Military, Category:Economy, etc. obsolete? Have in mind that new people won't know that, for example, category Category:Jobs doesn't have any of the new professions because all of them will be put into Category:eRepublik Rising.

Also, you said that All V1 articles should be added to Category:eRepublik Version 1, does this apply to translated articles also, for example: One:Food/Hrvatski will go to category V1 or Category:Hrvatski?

Also, why should we add category legacy to, for example, new Experience points article? A link with an explanation at the end or beggining of the article should be enough.

To conclude, I am at this moment against this procedure. The first step is ok, but everything else is, ad least for me, just not good enough, especially because there will be to confusing for people while browsing the categories. This is just my two cents! --AndyCro

Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 13:34, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Andy, I understand what you are talking about. The main reason is for other translators to have a baseline of what has been translated and what hasn't. You raise good points, and the answer to the multiple category question is that articles are often part of multiple categories on a regular basis. Adding more categories to the article will not affect the flow of information, but will help editors clearly identify where all of the crucial articles are. - Jameson L. Tai ^talk/_{United States Rangers} 17:14, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

+1 I agree with Jameson, we need to keep track which one need update and which one already done. We can even remove all page from Category:eRepublik Rising after wiki migration completed.

blackmanta 19:46, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

FYI, The outdated V1 articles will be added to Category:Version1 (this has been used before). --

i)Please include what is the difference between a level 1 and a level 3 company? etc
ii) Make it clear that you lose 1 happiness for every hour worked (regardless of customization level)
iii) Also how much wellness and how much health do you lose each time you fight?
iv) Hospital should also be included in the Health increases section

--bowen199 16:25, 6 July 2010 (GMT)

I consider that the health loses/gains when fighting should be a added to a different page. --Belea2008 15:47, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Should we refer as Health? not wellness anymore. If yes, we should avoid word wellness on rising's page -- blackmanta 21:11, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Exactly. --Belea2008 21:19, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

'Alliance' didnt stick instead of MPP, no matter how you wanted to force it - I can't really see why you try to change terminology that's been around for years. Needless changes only confuse users. --Quicksilver 09:22, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

"Don't feed the trolls!" --Belea2008 15:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Should someone redirect the wellness pass to the health page?
Other ways to increase health are: Wellness packs, be in a hospital's the area of effect. Should i add them? Chris Christou

I suggest we leave the "Wellness" page with a short historical text in it. Or remove it completely.

Regarding ways to increase health, you can add them (although they are related to the Military module - fight).

--Belea2008 15:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

We can put a section "further reading" in the Health page and put the One:Wellness page as historical archive.
About the other ways, another option is put a link of the fight page in the See also section..
--Chris Christou17:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

The name spaces should not be linked between them. Any solution which is in accordance with that guideline is fine by me. --Belea2008 13:54, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Weapons

In the military formulas page, in the Terrain bonus section, it is written that air unit take bonus in plains and tanks in hills. Isn't the opposite. In beta tanks had bonus in plains and heli in hills....

The Wiki is accurate. The way that it worked in Beta was not accurate. --Belea2008 15:04, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Then i made o wrong choice :P Chris Christou 17:28, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I think that we should name the air unit (product) as a helicopter to avoid the confusion between product and unit. Chris Christou 17:36, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Agree. that name stick to it during Beta tests. --

Grzechooo ^{drop a line} 17:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I got not objections. However the in-game term is Air unit. If someone who hasn't played Beta or read insiders wants to look info about air unit, he won't use the word helicopter in search and doesn't know how to find information. Just saying (maybe a redirect or something?)... --

sampo555 | Talk 18:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean by saying "formula"? I think there isn't such a thing! Chris Christou | Talk 13:55, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Can you be more specific in your request:) I didn't understood what formula there should be for them, but since I know there are different zones, I asked Belea to make a map with the zones.Hopefully we will enjoy the map soon. --DanielDimow|☪|Speak to me. 14:02, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Here is a map I made during the Beta, it looks like nothing has changed.

If I may point out, the Haifa District in Israel is in completely the wrong zone, it is in C4 (Malaysia) whilst the rest of Israel is in B3 (Southern Europe). This is a bug but when I submitted a ticket they found no problem... And if I may say, there are quite a few revisions I would make. The Western USA should really be in a different Zone, B2. I would say eastern China should be in B5 and Western Indonesia should be in C4. This would balance out the regions slightly. I understand there has to be some compromise between geography and politics, but for example Brazil's southern two regions should be in D2 going by Geography but C2 (with the rest of Brazil) politically.... Sorry, rant over.

Finally, and wiki related, should we add a Travel zone field to the region info box? Martin23230 17:30, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Timeoin|Say G'Day 15:04, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I mean in terms of the wellness/happiness change. On the market page it says, "The displayed health/happiness restore values are based on a citizen’s health/happiness of 50. If your citizen’s health/happiness is lower than 50, then the product will provide more health/happiness, and less if the health/happiness is higher than 50. " but little else.--Endy chat 02:45, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Well, I hereby give thou permission to update said pages and fix this problem (a lot of the wiki is currently out of date due to the changes. It would be VERY helpful to have more people fixing these issues. --

Timeoin|Say G'Day 02:51, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Balancing

Each product type has a "modifier" (M). These modifiers are as following:

Food: 0.3
Travel Tickets: 2
House: 25
Hospital: 115
Defense System: 115
Riffles: 2
Artillery: 3
Tanks: 6
Air Unit: 9

Raw materials (high region): 1
Raw materials (medium): 2
Raw materials (low): 100

When you work, you achieve a certain "productivity" (P) (the one displayed in your results page).

In order to see how many "units" (U) of raw materials or of a certain component you have made, the following formula can be applied: P/M = U.

Thus:

in a region with high resources, your productivity (P) will be equal to the number of raw materials units produced (U);
in any company (except the raw material ones), the number of customization points (C) is equal to the number of units (U) required in order to complete a certain product.

IMPORTANT

In last one hour I have deleted 130 redirects (around 620 remaining, or I have deleted 18 %). I will continue my work tomorrow during the day and I expect to finish in 4 hours, there is no need to work on deletion. I would suggest that you continue to work on moving, creating, translating and updating the articles. I have also started to work on the wiki tables that should be reviewed, but my hands hurts after 75 minutes non-stop clicking and writing, so I will post the tables tomorrow morning (Croatian time). When I post them, I would ask every editor that worked on moving and updating articles (especially Sampo and DDimow) to review them (expect them in 12-13 hours to be published below!!!). Thank you for your co-operation. NOTE: If there will be any translation that are not needed or created in the wrong namespace, I will also correct this! ;) --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 19:42, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I have created the instructions HERE: User:Andycro/Migration on how to use the list(s) of the articles that have to be updated.

Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 11:57, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Guidelines for One articles

All one articles should be updated in the next way:

Change {{LangMenu}} to {{LangMenu|One:Name of the article}}. For example on article One:V1, the langmenu should be {{LangMenu|One:V1}}
Add template {{Version1}}
Change links in the article so they lead to One articles. It could be useful that on the end of the article add link to the new Rising article (See also)
Remove all categories and add category [[Category:ERepublik Version 1]]

NO MORE REDIRECTS

I have to ask you to stop making redirects from MAIN namespace to ONE namespace. If you wan't something to be moved, please write here why. --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 11:57, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Note: You can create these articles on two ways:

The classic update. Click on the article and update it
Create the article in your sandbox and contact me to move it.

Just to check im doing this the right way ...

For the "main" pages (i.e. the information pages such as Playing the Game, etc), as far as I know these are getting split up into three categories:

Version1 Pages (Denoated by "One:" at the front of the page
ERepublik Rising Pages
ERepublik Legacy Pages (Those that are the same in Version1 and ERepublik Rising.

Is this information correct? -- Timeoin|Say G'Day 15:42, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Also, The "Politics" category has been completely sorted. Any relevant pages have been tagged with "ERepublik Legacy", as most of them are used in both Version 1 and ERepublik Rising (I think someone already mentioned this though) --

Timeoin|Say G'Day 15:54, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Especially because Rising politics modul doesn't exist so they are using V1 politics modul! :P
Regarding your am I doing this the right way answer is: Of course that you are not doing this the right way. :D But mainly you are moving articles in the wrong way (Iron, Oil, etc. - only main article was moved) and we are not planning to move ALL articles, just the one that are changed dramatically. Regarding the categorization, I believe that you are doing it in the correct way.

Permission for editing templates

Hi!

I know I am newbie, but I organised a team to translate the wiki to Hungarian. We are translating pages continously, but we have some problem with templates. I mean we cant translate the menus on pages because we have no permission for doing that. Because of it i would like to ask you to give me the correct rights. I promise you i wont be a vandal and i wont delete any templates. I just want to translate them to Hungarian.

Sry for bothering and thanks in advance :) -- DoggettTalk To Me 13:17, 16 July 2010 (CET)

You can translate them in your sandbox and later they can be moved! --AndyCro

As long as he knows what he's doing, I have nothing against making Doggett an engineer. Thus:

Disadvantages:
- Doggett may do something "wrong" due to lack of experience
Advantages:
- Will speed up the translation process
- It is a sign of confidence in Doggett and his translation team
- Boost the morale and emotional attachment (to the Wiki) of Doggett

--Belea2008 13:56, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

One Horror ends, new begins...

I believe that migration is finally finished. A lot of pages have been moved to one namespace and it took a lot of effort to review all of them and decide what will have to be moved and what will stay in the main namespace. If you find any other article that has to be moved write it in my talk page with an explanation why. This is the fastest way to get my attention. Please do not move it yourself. I would leave the most of the political articles as they are. New political module is not yet on the planning table, just a few link changes that can be modified on this current articles. There are still articles that have to created for Rising, so please, take your pick and create them.

VOTING:How to categorize translated articles in One namespace

OK, as you know, on all ONE namespace article template {{Version1}} will be implemented that gives Category:Version1 to that articles. Now my dilema is about translated articles which can be found there. I believe that we have three choices

1. We don't add category on that language, we use only Version1
2. We add category on that language + category Version1
3. We create completely new categories for that languages, for example Category:Hrvatski V1, we translate the Version1 template to the languages and then we add that template which will have an automatic categorization to that articles.

Honestly, I am strongly opposed to third choice because it is to complicated, but am undecided between first and second choice, so vote. --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 18:40, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Party Template

I have a question about the new template. Why are orientation and ideology links? They weren't on the main template. I am concerned that this will lead to 10 articles on political ideology copied from wikipedia. If there is a need for a page for "Orientation" and "Ideology" (which there might be) then all links should take you to that page. Also, I see that the party orientation categories have been removed. I think this is great because it didn't really mean much to people and I was constantly fixing party pages so the orientation was written correctly to fit into the category. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 17:53, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I think you are right, and about categories, please help me and fix them yourself, I don't know what the categories before were, and I don't want to "not guess" and to mess up the stuff again. I know you have problem with categories :D, and to fix this, it's not a big deal.
Thanks in advance! --DanielDimow|☪|Speak to me. 09:28, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't want to change things, I am afraid it will mess up. I think there should only be one category "Party of Country" and if historical "Historical Party of Country." I don't think the categories for orientation were worthwhile. Just do not make the responses for orientation and ideology links. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 20:49, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

The other thing I wanted to say is that I don't think it's fine to just let Congress Ocupancy as it's now. Besides it works with the normal congress sizes, it might be obvious that it gots screwed up with countries that got some extra territories, lost some of them, or just more appliable to any country in the eWorld: someone resigned. I would suggest, or to just put back it has it was before (you write all the thing), or to ask for something on the form PP/TT, where PP is the number of congress members in the party, and TT is the actual total of it. What do you think? -- Purohueso (talk if you want) 09:20, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Now it's visible, there was needed to add it on Template:Party also, which I had just done, :P..., as for the congress, I found out that now you just can write the text you want, XD..., but I still thinks that it might dissapear when the party got succeded by other, or maybe just let it possible to be removed, since maybe a party got PTOed, but they still have congressman of their own, something like that, XD --

There was a nice portal page in the old version (ie Portal:Main_Page) but the current main page is practically empty (even worse, it has a box with ideas for editors, suggesting the most needed tasks are "Add references to Great Southern War" and such (compare with the lists here in the bar). Is somebody working on the main page?

Also, btw, just exactly how are editors supposed to work on articles about new features, when the erep wiki is supposed to be the place that gives this information? That is, where to get the correct info for the article? From the Erep Insider?

Thanks folks. Can I help somehow? I am currently doing hungarian translations, but some articles aren't written in English yet so they have to wait.

For military formulas, you mean that the info in the wiki is the correct one? (instead of what was in the insider) bye Amrod Falassion 11:24, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, they should be correct! --AndyCro

Yes, they are correct. That part, at least, ha been checked several times. Unless someone has vandalised the page recently and undone the edits, then it is correct. --

I wonder about the utility of translating the main page, especially is it now. It doesn't seem worth it. Also I don't think there needs to be 2 to do lists on the main page. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 17:04, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Well, no, not really. I presumed that we were going to re-make this page once the rest of the Rising pages were completed? --

Timeoin|Say G'Day 03:16, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure you want to wait for that? Or is it projected to be complete soon? As for the translation, at least it's a good opportunity for experiment. For the hun main page, I removed the todo lists, and added links to the game_concepts page and to the list of hun translated articles. So at least hun users have a starting place. Then when the new eng main page is done, I'll redo the translation :) Amrod Falassion 06:44, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

My suggestion is to have a basic main page and then deal with that LATER once all of the Rising articles are finished. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 21:36, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

The new version is almost ready to be impelemented, I still have some things to archive before the implementation, but I believe that tomorrow (Sunday) it will be finished and impelemented. If you have any comments/ideas, you are free to write them down. NEW VERSION OF THE MAIN PAGE. Few notes: The main page is similar to the old one + some of the new ideas stolen from belea's version of current Main Page. Also random listed articles like did you know, images, etc. are NOT yet updated, so don't think about it at this moment. --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 19:07, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

New Main Page implemented. --AndyCro

about translating keyword/article names

Hi! I read this in the help: "DO NOT CREATE A REDIRECT IN YOUR LANGUAGE! For example creating the page "Comida" with the redirect to Food/Español. Instead you should create a link like this [[Comida|Food/Español]] or {{L|Food|Comida}} or {{DL|Food|Comida}} " Now I'd like to ask, does it only mean that in our articles we should write links like that (finally I managed to make the {{L|Food|Comida}} type links)? Or, is there a way to have a translation for the keywords, such as if I write into the search box "étel" then it will find the page "food/Magyar" ? It would be very useful, as people who use the wiki in non-english language do so because they might not speak english or not even use the english version of erep. So they might not even know the correct keywords to type into the search. (And now, for example I type "ház" and only about the 10th result brings me to the article "house/Magyar".)

Also, btw, I see that there is a Hungarian version of erep (don't remember reading in the insider, must have missed it), but it's still far from complete, only a few words are translated. Is there a way to help in that? (I'm helping Doggett with his work, so if he's on it, it's okay). Thanks Amrod Falassion 06:51, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

The official language of the wiki is English. It would be too difficult to manage redirects in 20+ languages. Even though there are multiple versions of eRepublik, we have only found the utility in one official wiki. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 21:34, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

I just thought of a possible, maybe complex, solution: create somehow a detailed search on the wiki that looks at the name of the page, as well as the displayed title on each page. This way, you put in the title of the page "Comida" in replace of "Food/Español", or "étel" in the case of "Food/Magyar", and this supposed search is able to look at those titles. I know it's somehow impossible to do something like that, which would need a certain modification at least on the search engine of the wiki, but it's a crazy idea I came up with, :P
Another solution may just be put back the "suggested links" on the Main Page, so you start clicking from there, and navigate for it.
Or maybe, add a "set language search" above the search window, where you select the language, the system checks your word (on english, or maybe the first mentiones way, but a bit simple) and if the article it's translated, it gives that version inmediatelly, ;)

Hope something would had been useful, :P --

Thanks for the reply. I think the suggestion with the main page would be the most useful. Such as the old main page was, and the new one will be. (I already added a list of translated articles link on the hun main page, but it'll be nicer with the categories). Amrod Falassion 08:37, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I think bringing back the Game Concepts section that was on the old main page would be helpful --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 17:58, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Taxes template

On V1 era, VSkyzv created a table template for taxes, but I don't know why it never became a template on his own. It was implemented on 3 country pages, and looked well, and even iVicentico did a translation to spanish.
Well, obviously, this template get old with Rising, but I had just actualized it on a sandbox, and implemented it on the chilean page (replacing the old one).
Can I just create Template:Taxes to "officialize" it?, I'm engineer so I can do it on my own, don't worry, but I'm asking anyway, as well as telling you of its existence, :P
PS: How can I make a "sort of" automatic translation (if the page is on that language, it got shown on that language, if existing, but without calling specifically to that translated template), of a template?, I would like to implement it on this one, ;) -- Purohueso (talk if you want) 23:50, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Great work Purohueso, the template was moved and it is ready to use. Please update all pages where you put it so I can remove redirect from your sandbox. Thank you. --AndyCro

Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 07:50, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Updated the pages, and removed the redirect (don't delete the sandbox, I will use it again soon, maybe tomorrow, :P). You are welcome, ;)--

Purohueso (talk if you want) 08:41, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Heh, actually I never saw this template, but it's great. --
