About the Wiki

I have been deleting "dead" articles off the wiki.

Basically, anything that has been untouched for 60 or more days and is NOT APPROVED FOR IC USAGE will be removed unless I know someone is actively working on it.

If you had a submission approved but failed to removed the tag, it could be deleted. If your article is deleted and you still want it, just revert to the previous version. If your article was deleted because of a tag that was still on it, you can revert it and remove the tag and make sure to leave a link to the approval thread in the "Reason for editing" box.
 
Updates: September 9, 2012

- Corrected an issue where images uploaded would give a false "failed" message
- Made the select files button more visible
- Still have some minor appearance issues to work on in both media managers
 
Creative commons licensed images should go in (only) the creative commons licensed images folder in the wiki (make a subfolder with the type of license). Public domain images from outside Star Army go in the public domain images folder (only). These can be NASA photos and other relevant things that are explicitly in the public domain.
 
From now on, please store NASA public domain images in this media folder https://wiki.stararmy.com/lib/exe/mediam ... mages:nasa

Also, did you know you can use the media manager to add metadata like titles and keywords to wiki media files? Example shown in the link above.
 
I am moving all the calendar pages (IRL years, YE XX, etc) into the Calendar namespace.
 
The recent wiki software upgrade allowed me to add a number of useful plugins:
  • wrap plugin allows better article tagging and formatting, including infobox-style page arrangements
  • gallery plugin for automated gallery generation
  • move plugin allows admins to move pages and entire namespaces with automatically updated backlinks (allowing long-wanted cleanups and moves such as the year one mentioned above)
 
And thus my email explodes. :3c
You should see mine! Changing the years is still updating pages and sending emails even though it's been over 24 hours. There's just tons of pages to update.
 
Makes me wonder if my e-amil is being pounded, I haven't checked my e-mail in weeks o_o (since my primary e-mail largely contains spam now-a-days)
 
The list of members has been moved to Userirectory and I've replaced the old, bloated tables with a list divided alphabetically.

Please go to the new page and add details for yourself after your name, if desired.
 
Here's some wiki stats from today:

Articles: 10336
Namespaces: 708
Media Files: 7882
Average edits per day 152
 
The List of Star Systems is now the Star System Directory. It's by alphabetical order this time, not by faction, and every star system in the SARP should be on there (none of that old linking to faction territory pages stuff). Faction managers, get in there and update the short descriptions for your star systems.
