The alert you get when someone posts on your page is kinda scary.

So when's Jason going to VGG-ify the new wiki? And when's it going live? Alan 05:46, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

  • re: Jason=Ella Fyno! I could make it live any time. What's your opinion? T.Mike 20:03, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Probably we should hold off launching it until all the old stuff is transferred over. That'll take a while, though. Alan 23:45, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

  • That would indeed take a very long time to do by hand. But I am investigating the wiki's import/ export abilities, and maybe I can use that to speed things up. T.Mike 00:46, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

I just noticed that the Help link (http://www.fakebands.com/wiki/index.php?title=Help:Contents) goes to a band entry. Do we not have the help installed?

But as far as your suggestion about categories, that would be great. There's no need to hand-create them, though; we could just use the categories feature: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories

So, for example, you'd have http://www.fakebands.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Rocko%27s_Modern_Life instead of http://www.fakebands.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rocko%27s_Modern_Life . Much easier to maintain, I'd think.

To do it, you just put in [[Category:Name]]

  • Sure, categories just as well, if not better. I know how to make them, but do you know how to make the entry then alphabetize correctly in the category list? do [[Category:Name|Fakenames, The]] T.Mike 01:41, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
