Meh, ill help out. Not as if i have anything better to do >.< --Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 08:18, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

What you say? Lol, i'll help out if I have any time for anything else important like dying or losing money. Flechette 08:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * 1) Great great, first order of business I guess: How are we going to do this? I wanted a new format for the humor page than just use the Category since it's clunky and not very pretty. Any suggestions on this area would be greatly appreciated.


 * 2) Another issue is how we are actualy organizing the Articles, while talking to Entropy I thought of doing a vetting type system similar to that used in PvXwiki, but really I don't think that's appropriate and we should organize them by hand. I know it'll be hard to do since they cover such a broad range of subjects, but I'm sure it can be done. Again any suggestions are greately appreciated.


 * 3) The last issue is we need to find out which users which have an article in the humor section are currently active, this is because many of the articles have red links or missing pictures or just bad set-up compared to the others and it'd be nice to have them all up to -some- level of quality. If the user is no longer with us: Does anyone know if we have the right to use and alter those articles due to the fact that they are already submited to the Wiki? If not then we may simply remove them from the final project.

 That's it for now, I'll get on thinking of a few layouts, thanks for showing interest. Zulu Inuoe 17:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * well, we could start by making it so its ACTUALLY alphabetised. There are currently about 500 things in the O section which start with somthing else.. >.<. Also, we could change them so they are no longer user:blah/blah/jokething, but just jokething, so the code would be Spamming Was Marco, but would actually show up as Spamming Was Marco. Also, we could arrange them into sort of columns, ascending order, making it look much neater. Also, we could put a link on the main page somwhere for the humour. --Warwick  (Talk) (Contr.) 18:16, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * See Here for the main page thing. I like the colums idea, think you can get started on that while I do alphabetizing? (I don't exactly know what you mean though, do you mean something similar to the skills quick refference?) Zulu Inuoe 18:20, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough.. Also, so we dont delete the links and so they stay, why not just remove them from Humor if we think they're unfunny/unwanted. I'll start with the columns, using my sandbox ill test it. --Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 18:23, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Great, say do you know if altering the script of the category section is possible? I'd like to organize them before they get on the final page. Zulu Inuoe 18:27, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I would think so, yes. --Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 18:29, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * How woul you go about it? I see nothing in the lines of code for the humor section. Zulu Inuoe 18:31, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry was just fixing up the page. what do you mean by the script? --Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 18:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Where does each article go through to be organized? There doesn't seem to be a script for that in the humor section so I am guessing it's a build-in thing with the wiki (Since it's in a Category) and thus can't be altered. I'm asking because looking at these articles, many don't even make sense, and it seems a bit random. Most of them are in the U's due to "User" but some of them are in the correct place whereas others User:Atlantis/Harumm are... wait I just realized the script is in each page >>; /doh. Nevermind my entire thing haha, I've got it. Zulu Inuoe 18:39, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Resting Indent Now I'm wondering: Are we allowed to change article names? Some people were pretty lazy and abbreviated the skill names and such, making them fall into two spots User:Aeothan/FSM should have the entire name written in since it's a shout, as should User:Aeothan/P have Procrastinate written out. Zulu Inuoe 18:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Your not allowed to actually change them, but change the abbreviations, as such: Procrastinate we can change it like that, but not the ACTUAL names, since it was created by the user and we would have to gain their permission before doing that. --Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 19:01, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Where do I input that code? With all honesty I suck at wiki-ing. Zulu Inuoe 19:03, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Procrastinate makes Procrastinate, rather than User:Aeothan/P. So, if you want to list it as Procasrationmachine, type Procasrationmachine --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (s)talkpage 19:07, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Say we're talking about p, after the p you add | (the thing left of z + shift), then write out the full name, then close it with ]]. --Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 19:08, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh yes I know that, but I mean so that they appear in the category section as just the skill name rather than the User/Skill name. That's why I was asking about changing the category code, I don't think it's possible, is it? Zulu Inuoe 19:10, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The above is how you do it mate. --Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 19:11, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, i've never tried editing a catagory before.. No, i dont think you can unless you're prepared to get permission to make them all in properspace and add them to gwiki humor. --Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 19:13, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's fine, we'll just not use the Category and instead make a new page for it. Right now I'm using the category for alphabetizing the articles, then we'll drop them in another page. Zulu Inuoe 19:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a plan. I'm still working on the table, though. --Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 19:18, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's cool, thanks again for helping out! I'll post here when I'm done with the articles. Zulu Inuoe 19:21, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll start up the actual humor section now. --Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 19:23, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright, throw a link when it's done. Zulu Inuoe 19:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * We have a problem.. since gwiki humor is a catagory, i cant just copy+paste them onto there.. what am i going to do? Oh, i know, why dont i copy+paste all of them from the actual page.. then add the and  --<font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick  (Talk) (Contr.) 19:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Aye, that's the hard part. We have to do by-hand coding. Post the template you're using on the new page and I'll help out. Zulu Inuoe 19:37, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Don't copy/paste until I'm done adding the correct humor tag to all of the articles, that way they're all alphabetized and you don't have to repeat it over there. Zulu Inuoe 19:40, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Bit late now -.- What i scould use now is one of thsoe bot things xD --<font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 19:44, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Or some kids from Malaysia.. Zulu Inuoe 19:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Haha, i have to go draw some crappy image for art, so I'll be back later, its meant to take 30 mins (So ill be back in say.. 5?) --<font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 19:51, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The articles.. they just keep coming! Why does nobody use the tag appropriately?! I've written the same stuff over and over and over and over! Zulu Inuoe 19:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 'sallright for you! You can just click Copy+paste continuously! I have to actually type out the <Nowiki> 's and 's and |whatevertheskillnameis-theauthor.. =/ i actually get the harder job.. xD Zulu Inuoe 20:58, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Some people don't even have the category tag on the article, it's just categorized that way because of the template they are using, so many times I need to write out the category stuff, not always copy/paste D=. Zulu Inuoe 20:58, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
