This page is for discussion about the BoC Wiki itself: policies, structures, rules, ideas, suggestions, etc. This page is inspired by Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump Village Pump], which serves a similar purpose there. |

I am also on WATMM and Twoism (with the same username) as well as the [[Yahoo! group]] (as pimlottc). I first heard BoC around early 1997 and have been a strong fan since [[MHtRtC]]. My wiki background comes from using [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], where I try to keep the BoC pages under control (also as pimlottc). I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I would love for the BoC wiki to one day become the most comprehensive repository of all things BoC. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 20:25, 31 August 2006 (CEST) |

I come from Wikipedia, so I am used to many of the ways they do things. In general, I think we should follow their [[Wikipedia:List_of_guidelines|guidelines]] in terms of style and formatting. In particular, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music WikiProject Music] (and sub projects for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums albums] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Songs songs]) has some good guidelines for how to format albums, songs, track listings, etc. In general: | I come from Wikipedia, so I am used to many of the ways they do things.

Take a look at those guidelines. If we can all agree with them, I think we should make them standard for the wiki.

β | + | We don't have a very good [[Main Page]] yet; since we're lacking a decent navigable structure, I just added a link to [[Special:Allpages]]. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 20:44, 31 August 2006 (CEST) | |
β | == | + | == Help pages == |
β | |||
β | + | One thing we could use is some help pages, many of the mediawiki meta-pages like help are just blank by default. I put some content into [[Help:Editing]] from [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk_page meta.wikipedia.org]. Wikipedia also has a pretty good [[Wikipedia:tutorial|tutorial]] for new users we should link to, it's pretty general and not too heavy on Wikipedia-specific stuff. | |

β | + | Is it possible that we can enable image and other file (audio clips, dcr/flash) uploads? [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 23:14, 31 August 2006 (CEST) | |
β | + | : This is impossible due to php safety restrictions on the narfum webserver. I tried enabling it but I got the following error: open_basedir restriction in effect. I contacted my host and he said this will not be resolved because the PHP setup on [http://www.narfum.org narfum.org] has been set to strict safety and as such this is disabled. [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 00:23, 1 September 2006 (CEST) | |
β | + | :: Hmm, then maybe we can find some stable web space outside the wiki to upload items for inclusion in the pages. But still, I'm not sure Mediawiki supposed external images as well as it does internal ones (i.e. for thumbnailing and such). [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 05:44, 1 September 2006 (CEST) | |
β | + | ::: I'm very fond of [http://www.imageshack.us/ imageshack]. And external images work on this mediawiki installation; you just have to put the url to the image without any brackets. It can only be shown in actual size though; no thumbnails. See more info [[metawikipedia:Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Embedding_external_image|here]] or an uploaded example [[bocwiki:Upload_Example|here]] based on a [http://www.imageshack.us/ imageshack] uploaded picture. [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 12:15, 1 September 2006 (CEST) | |
β | I | + | :::: No thumbnailing is kind of annoying, would have to manually make thumbnails and links from one size to larger version, etc. And I would be much more comfortable with having the images in a place one of us controls, rather than a web site that could disappear one day. Besides, what if the wiki gets ultra-popular and we use up all their bandwidth? :) I suppose in the short term, though, that will work. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 15:47, 1 September 2006 (CEST) |
