Archive Much?
Been a while since I've posted around here lol. Just glanced at RC and seen this, just wondering if it's an attempt to prevent people from uploading generic name images. Other than that, how have things been around here? --   Isk8   (T/C) 20:39, March 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yep, that is indeed the motivation there. RT actually did the first one, for Gw012.jpg.  I considered writing a bot script that would pre-prot all Gw###.jpg filenames, but decided that would be too much work (it's not a bad idea, I just don't feel like doing it right now).  I will continue protting them whenever they get uploaded, though, so the user doesn't try re-uploading after it gets deleted.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 20:47, March 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm currently on gw856.jpg. You have some work ahead. :] RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 23:04, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Widgets
Do you, or do you know anyone who uses the "Wiki page in a widget" widget? Mostly, because I'd like to play around with MediaWiki:Widgetwikipage to add some things like purge and difflast. --JonTheMon 17:50, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nope, sorry. I haven't done anything at all with the wiki widgets.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 17:59, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, then I'll probably go ahead and tweak that. What kind of power functions would you want besides Purge and DiffLast? --JonTheMon 18:03, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't use Monaco, so what I want would be irrelevant (unless support for widgets was added to Monobook while I wasn't looking?) &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 19:04, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, i didn't mean you specifically, but like what sort of power functions would a user like you want (like, what extra tabs have you added to your interface)? -JonTheMon


 * All I've got is purge and GWW-switch. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 20:17, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Isn't purge standard for Sysops?
 * I've a box with Del/Ban cats, prefixindex and some other less clicked stuff. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  20:23, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm dis-inclined to add in del/ban b/c I want it to be usable by most members of the community. And I'm not sure about PrefixIndex, but it might be a good idea. --JonTheMon 20:49, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hm, so it is. And apparently it happened [ over a year ago].  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 21:13, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'm planning on leaving for good soon.
There's a lot I could say here but it'd make my comment degenerate into off-topic waffle.

All I'll say is that I for one will honestly be sorry to see you go, and thank you for all the thankless work you've put into GuildWiki.

Strange that the most necessary work (e.g., coding - stuff not just anyone can do) is the work that's appreciated the least. A F K When Needed 20:51, March 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've always considered you to be one of the backbones of Gwiki. It'll be strange to see you go. :/ --[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 21:24, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
