Image Sizes

We updated the mediawiki enginer to 1.21 and for some reason the images cannot be resized. They are ignoring the markup that specifies pixel dimensions. Any idea why? Or how we can fix? It's breaking a lot of layouts

not sure at all really, ill have to look into it. also the edit bar is missing in the wiki as well Draygo (talk) 05:57, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

updated to latest MW install & that fixed everything. Go figure.. oh and we're doing amazon daily backups now :) --Rhine (talk) 03:15, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Brazilian Portuguese

I just translated the entire controls session to portuguese brazil Controls/ptbr, next step is translate the main page as you suggested and gradually translating the Community_portal. Is it enough?

Update... Main page in brazilian portuguese --Neuworknetral

Make sure you sign your edits on talk pages using the signature button. Were going to need more content than that before we make the change necessary to enable pbtr officially. I wont be able to make that change this week regardless and Ill have to talk to rhine about it. --Draygo (talk) 01:57, 9 April 2014 (EDT)

Diplomacy

Hey Draygo,

Is there a chance where you can post my faction up on the Diplomacy page for player-created factions?

Thanks, Stryker25 CIC, ICBA

Not for now, the diplomacy page needs to be reworked because the table is at it's maximum size. You are already listed on the factions page --Draygo (talk) 13:00, 24 March 2014 (EDT)

Hi Draygo

My problem with the componentbox is now ok. I had used an older version of IE. In chrome and firefox i dont had any proplems. after an update to an newer IE it ok too.

Another Q. is it possible to change pages without the key-captcha-puzzel. I change sometimes 1 char and need 30 sec. to puzzel. :-) Thx Adi2412

Ill look into disabling the capcha for editing. I find it quite annoying too. Make sure you sign your posts with the tilde's so it date and timestamps it. ~~~~ or hit the signature button in the edit screen. --Draygo (talk) 13:28, 28 March 2014 (EDT)

thx it's better to change.--Adi2412 (talk) 13:39, 28 March 2014 (EDT)

Hey Draygo,

I think I resolved the issue for the standings. Could you check them when you have a moment? Thanks! -- Stryker25

Spam

I'm seeing a recent influx of new questionable accounts. Is it just best to keep our eyes out for spam and ban later? I don't think there's an easy way to tackle this.--Rhine (talk) 15:50, 8 April 2014 (EDT)

best way to deal with it is to drop bans when they make the edits. Is the capcha enabled on account creation? I am rather busy this week but I can check into it next week. --Draygo (talk) 01:53, 9 April 2014 (EDT)

I think you should enable captcha for new, until they get a number of "convincing" points. This is only a suggestion. --Binary25 (talk) 11:26(GMT+2), 9 April 2014 (EDT)

Cockpits

Hi draygo (sorry for the little work done). Currently we have 3 pages for 3 cockpits, it will not be easier to create a single page "Cockpit" and put the 3? --Binary25 (talk) 00:09(GMT+2) 13 April.

Do not apologize for doing little work, its not like you are getting paid for this! But no each cockpit needs its own page or the SMW wiki wont work. A single cockpit page linking to the 3 item pages will work for information about cockpits in general. --Draygo (talk) 00:47, 13 April 2014 (EDT)

Like a disambiguation page? The current Cockpit page redirects to Cockpit 1. --Pathfinder (talk) 22:49, 13 April 2014 (EDT)

sure. If you think it best. --Draygo (talk) 23:24, 13 April 2014 (EDT)

Faction Page

http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/Factions

Take a look at the giant tridential logo - how do I fix this? —The preceeding unsigned comment was added by User:Rhine (talk • contribs).

Fixed, it was in the title field of the template for that faction. --Draygo (talk) 05:07, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Please remove the ads

So I decided to register here and help out the community, but when I went to register I had to disable adblock for the captcha to load.

Oh my god! Ads everywhere. Unsavory, intrusive advertising at that! Fetish dating sites, loc targeted employment scams, lead generation pages, pills, questionable software. Even the captcha had an ad embedded in it. This was my confirmation page

Please remove the advertising from this wiki. It's an eyesore and I will not donate my time to contribute to someone's revenue stream.

-- Xeoz (talk) 23:42, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Not my decision you need to talk to Rhine about that, as far as I understand it is to cover operating costs of the servers. If there are particular ads that are inappropriate let us know and I'm sure rhine can block them. I am currently getting ads for vacations and items on amazon. --Draygo (talk) 23:48, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I've added a topic to Rhine's talk page, pointing here. Ad discussion -- Xeoz (talk) 00:23, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Xeoz, the ads are necessary for hosting costs. If there are particular ads that you find offensive, please let me know and I can further investigate to see if they are appropriate for all ages. However, since they are adsense, they are actually based on your search history and browsing habits. Please see this page for more information: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9713?hl=en -- Rhine (talk) 00:46, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Wiki hosting varies from free to cheap. If you're compelled to manage your own mediawiki install for a site with this level of traffic hosting can be had for $5-$10 a month.

As for search history, I have none. I don't run logged in on google, I use adblock, and I use startpage as my search engine. The ads are being targeted entirely on geolocation and content guesses for this site. There is no point in trying to blacklist every single campaign in adsense that is not appropriate. Ad campaigns are transient and will be constantly changed. You'll need to have a huge list of blacklisted keywords to even come close.

-- Xeoz (talk) 02:17, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

"free" wiki hosting comes with ads, so I don't quite get your point. Other free wikis that are provided by the community, and they generally have ads (minecraft wiki anyone). We made some changes to the ad preferences which should tamp down on some of the issues - we have no interest in showing 'dating' ads. Your current adsense preferences are here: AdSense preferences where you can opt out of any interest based advertising, or just be able to edit (remove) interest categories. --Draygo (talk) 21:15, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Cannot Modify images for Camera

Hey, I don't have permissions to alter/remove previous images, and the current camera image is overriding which ever image I try to replace it with. Can you assist and delete the other images?

Requesting deletion of:

• Camera.png - Camera block
• Camera.png - {{Game Icon}}
• Current Camera image that is overriding the icon image - can view it under Components and Tools

Replacing with:

• Camera Icon.png

Thanks in advance ^.^ --Alouria (talk) 23:07, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

• When you modify an image you need to give it time for the wiki to propagate the change to the cloud services it uses to host the image. The images are not directly hosted on this website. Also see this for uploading icons: Help:Item pages, mark anything you want deleted with the {{Delete}} template. --Draygo (talk) 23:28, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

• Okay thanks for the information. I still find it all a bit new for me. I've never managed with item-lists much. If I run into more problems, I'll be sure to re-post here. --Alouria (talk) 03:12, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Faction proposal thread

Awhile ago I had made a thread regarding the factions page on the KSH forums. (Linked below)

• Hi there and Factions page proposal

I'd like to hear your opinion of it on there if you can spare a few minutes. I don't want to go changing it without some outside input on the subject. Rather discuss it further with at least one other person. lol

--Alouria (talk) 03:10, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Faction Templates issue

Okay so I have a few more questions regarding the templates. I realize there is already a page explaining some of this more or less. But I'm still learning (slowly) on how they work. This faction page Alliance Federation Space Corp has been having issues posting their faction page on the listing. Now I reviewed it 3 times, and removed what I think was preventing their listing.

• nocat = disable automatic templates and properties.

But I'm also wondering something else. If someone did not include

• {{subst:Factions Page}}

-When they created the page, does that also prevent them from being listed on the Factions page listing?

I'm wanting to learn as much as I can. lol

Any in-depth explanation of the template system would be ever so helpful. If you have a few moments!

Thanks in advance! --Alouria (talk) 19:19, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

yes nocat would prevent them from being listed on the factions page. the subst is only to help them create their page it is not a requirement. To refresh the factions page for any updates you can apply ?action=purge to the url as well. --Draygo (talk) 04:27, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Okay so I was correct, I just didn't know the refresh page part. Sorry, I'm a bit sloppy at first. I'd like to really get into the template discussion with you though. I'm not really sure where to being asking. I have many questions about it, how it works, how to make one, etc. --Alouria (talk) 04:31, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Icons

Thanks for updating the icons for the 3 cockpits!! I'm not sure what I was doing wrong to be honest. I use photoshop, and there seems to be a white border around all the icons I extract. The icons don't appear to be the same as yours too. Was I just looking in the wrong location?--Alouria (talk) 19:18, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Steps to create an icon are here: Help:Item_pages#Uploading_the_Icon --Draygo (talk) 19:54, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Video Extension & Main page edit

Hi Draygo, do we have video embedded support on our wiki? I was thinking of linking Space Engineers update videos along with their current updates. Also a second question regarding the main page. I updated the wiki to the current patch. However, when I finished updating the main page, it didn't seem to update. It only appears to be an edited copy. Can you explain the steps I need to follow to edit/save main page? Thanks in advance! --Alouria (talk) 22:18, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

The main page is a highly visible page, only administrators can save changes to the main page, that is why you can edit the editcopy, and an administrator will merge the changes in the editcopy with the main page. And yes the wiki supports embedding video. --Draygo (talk) 03:45, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Okay that's great to know. I have some major changes I want to make to the front page, exciting ones. I will get to it later on, but I'm hoping when you proof-read it when its done that you'll highly approve! As for the embedded video, what is the wiki code for that? =) thanks again! --Alouria (talk) 05:38, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Instant chat

Greetings Draygo! hi, hello! Is there an instant chat extension on here? Reason I ask is because I'd like to talk to you in person so to speak. Either with the extension or which ever instant chat. I have many things I wanna chat about, clarify, etc. I know I could post them all here, but it'd help to talk in live chat. If you can't or don't have time, I understand. I thought I'd try an ask though! --Alouria (talk) 00:07, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Probably best to contact me on steam: DraygoKorvan --Draygo (talk) 05:39, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Main page current version

Any chance we can bake the current MainPage/editcopy into the real one? I set up a Template:Current_Version that is referenced instead of having outdated, inaccessible info on the front page.

Nice work! I took the liberty of updating main with your change. Rhine (talk)

Unfortunately everything on the main page needs to be protected. --Draygo (talk) 21:23, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Well in that case can we get more users authorized to change it? The reaction time for this was painfully slow.Ketura (talk) 00:47, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

I should be better with it as my schedule is clearing up (for now...). I wouldn't be opposed to more users being authorized to change it. Oh before I forget there is a Template:currentversion that usually needs updating as well. Its mainly for substitution. --Draygo (talk) 04:57, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

d'oh, I don't know how I missed that.
