Call for Help: Need Wiki Editors -

[DeagleDad420]

ParkourDude91 Wiki

From the "Read this if you're planning to troll Chris" thread:

Only a tiny portion of the Air Force is guys flying jet planes. Everyone wants to be those guys but they can't, because obviously you need people other than guys in jet planes. Yet you still need people to support those guys in the jet planes. You need the people who fill out the paperwork for new jet plane parts and people who rotate the tires, stuff like that.

Do you want to fill out paperwork and rotate tires? You better want to, motherfucker, because we need it badly! The Wiki is the nerve center of ParkourDude91 activity; it's our home base, our only source for reliable information besides word-of-mouth. Problem is, Jace's wild and wacky world is so intricate and ever-evolving that it's a full-time job. Now I put in absurd amounts of work editing the Wiki but between the recent bout of activity and my day job I've been unable to keep up and the Wiki is falling behind. More and more people are being left in the dark with more and more questions, and the facts of the situation dude are starting to become unclear.

This is where I need your help.

How do I help?
-Before you even touch the wiki, read this. It's the editing guide and it will tell you everything you need to know.
-With that done, priority #1 is to make articles for new events that happen. Keep the Wiki up-to-date:
-Jace post a video? Make a page for it. Title the page after the title of the video.
-Jace does a livestream? Make a page for it! Include a "Highlights" section with a brief blow-by-blow.
-Jace engage in a CRUCIAL DANGER SITUATION in real life? Make a page about it!
-And most importantly, update the news ticker here and add events to the Timeline page.

What if the wiki is already up to date?
That's fine - we have plenty of stub articles for you to fuck around with.

Help! I don't know what I'm doing! I don't understand how to use MediaWiki!
MediaWiki is silly and complicated. I'm no master myself, but I'm capable of throwing together an article without breaking the formatting - something newcomers understandably may not be able to do- so if you have any questions, post in this thread - I'll be glad to help. If you want to know anything advanced like infoboxes or anything crazy like that then hit up our comrade Ahtohob's talk page here, he's our resident Wiki expert and he's been a great help so far.

Stay frosty. Anthony out.

I am not sure I can write full articles, but I can post little snippets of new info for pages that need an update sometimes.

 

[Gorogoroth]

Hey, I moved a few photo's to Tyce's page, and I had a go at finishing up VLOG-ust, hope you like the results.

 

[Pikonic]

Like the CWCki, I'm only going to make minor edits, I don't fuck with sites too much.
I piped a few links already to pretty things up on the Tyce page.
I pretty much look for red links or messed up piping and fix it.

 

[José Mourinho]

I've already made some improvements in some articles on the wiki earlier. Might edit moar soon. :3

VLOG-ust looks perfect now, thanks.

Alan Pardew is the king wiki sperg around these parts and the only person I know who actually updates the CWCki. If you have him working on the Parkourdude91 wiki you'll be set for life.

I've had to lock the wiki down so that new accounts can't create pages, only sysops and beueuaucrats can for the time being until I stop being lazy and make a proper group.

 

[Duke Nukem]

We definitely need to create a page about Weed. Seeing that weed plays a fairly major role in the life of ParkourDude91, I am surprised the article doesn't exist.

However, I would be more than happy to review some of the stubs and create an account.

!!!! INCOMING WIKICODE SPERG ALERT !!!!

(wait, it's too late, I'm already there)

Edit:
Did a whole lot of link fixing - fixed all of the articles that pointed to Wikipedia via external link and changed those to interwiki links (you can link to Wikipedia with [[wikipedia:Article title|Whatever]] ).
If someone got started on this giant mess (ie. internal wiki links that used external links and now erroneously point to Wikia), that'd be grand.

Understood, its better than dealing with spambots for now. In the meantime If anyone wants an account, PM me and I'll set one up.

If Wikimedia has a "Q&A" CAPTCHA option I strongly recommend it. Far superior to ReCAPTCHA because even the spambots backed by dedicated waged salves that crack ReCAPTCHAs can't get around those.

Simple questions work.

"What's the name of Jace's self-insert character?"
"What's the name of Jace's book?"
"Jace's preferred brand of sidearm is a ... ?"

Done. Thanks

Should we try to consolidate and deversivey the CWCiki and the ParkourDude wiki so we could document infomation on other lolcows on a site other than Ecyclopedia Dramatica.

 

[Null]

Consolidate and diversify (assuming that's what you meant). How the fuck does that work ?
Also , have you noticed the lolcow section here ?

Can you not be so abrasive? I'm working on a Wikimedia bridge for XenForo so we can set up wikis too. This idea is not only good, it's in the works.

 

[Foulmouth]

Fair enough. Apologies

 

[José Mourinho]

I'm thinking that the main page should be improved though, so here's my suggested addition:

Haven't added yet though, but how's the introduction at the top?

 

[DeagleDad420]

That looks great. I think the main page layout in general needs work, particularly the little boxes at the bottom. They look good until you expand them, then they move around all weird. I have no idea how to change that though, I'm terrible at formatting.

Added the introduction.

I'll borrow some layouts from the CWCki to do so later.

 

[KatsuKitty]

I personally wouldn't bill it as a "CWCki clone".
