{| align=left border=RE: ''Player:'' Redirects And Babel Information0 cellpadding=4 cellspacing=4 style=Okay, we need a collaborative effort in making all of these happen. As you should know, a Wiki redirect is as follows"border: ''<nowiki>1px solid #Redirect [[Pagename]]</nowiki>''. So when you come across a link to a User:USERNAME page please take the time to copy all the information on that page then make a redirect to Player:PLAYERNAME(for this purpose we will assume every wurmpedia account has a corresponding Wurm Online player account, if not please redirect that user page to the matching inCC9; background-game name). Now go to the page you just redirected to and paste the information in, additionally you will need to add to the bottom of the page ''<nowiki>[[Categorycolor:Ingame Help]][[Category:Players]][[Category#F1F1DE; width:Babel/INSERTFIRSTLETTEROFPLAYER'SNAMEHERE]]</nowiki>''.100%"

I feel we need |'''This page is only for discussing the layout and content of the Main Page.''' Please use the [[Wurmpedia:Village square]] for other topics relevant to discuss on how to do the talk pages for users, should we redirect '''WurmPedia''' project. Use the User talk:USERNAME ''Add topic'' tab above to Talk:Player:USERNAME or vice versa? ~ begin a new [[User:Tigiot|TigiotMain Page]] 01:18, 4 February 2007 (CST)discussion topic.|}

== Reorganization of Talk Page ==General WurmPedia topics can now be discussed on a separate WurmPedia project page entitled [[Wurmpedia: Keep Village square]] (The title corresponds with the similarly named discussion thread on the user talk pageWurm forums). The This will allow our wiki emails me when my user community to dedicate this present talk page is changed, it does not when my player talk page is changed :)to the continued improvement of the [[Main Page]].

===Babel===On another note, for uniformities sake can we all make it so that when we are adding categories that we '''always''' make <nowiki>[[Category:Babel/LETTER]]</nowiki> An informational notice has been added to the last category in top of this page to support this change of practice. An infobox has also been added to the article? ~ [[User:Tigiot|Tigiot]] 01:21, 4 February 2007 (CST)---bottom of the page to allow continued access to previous discussions without crowding-out active discussions.

==Toolbar==If you are using Mozilla Firefox to edit these WikiPrevious discussions non-pages, I suggest you get this Wiki-extension : http://wikipedia.mozdev.org/<br>Gives you fast access relevant to almost all Wikipedia editing features.:http://www.downloadsquad.com/2006/09/01/firefox-2-making-your-old-extensions-work/ for if you use Firefox 2.x ~ [[User:Tigiot|Tigiot]] 20:36, 2 February 2007 (CST)::Update: There is a slight problem, easily fixed though. Close Firefox. First download this file into some folder on your computer: http://downloads.mozdev.org/wikipedia/wikipedia_0.8.0.2.xpi. Next extract the wikipedia_0.8.0.2.xpi file into C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[PROFILE THINGY]\extensions\wikitoolbar. Now go back '''Main Page''' have been moved to the profile directory and edit the file in there called extensions.ini by adding an extra extension variable in continuity with the value of the wikitoolbar folder. Restart Firefox, now it won't be on the add-ons list but it will appear. This took me about 2 minutes to figure out. ~ new [[UserWurmpedia:Tigiot|TigiotVillage square]] 21:06, 2 February 2007 (CST):::Arg, if you do do this, page where they will also be forewarned - IT WON'T LIKE YOU! ~ [[User:Tigiot|Tigiot]] 21:30, 2 February 2007 (CST)properly archived.

==Translating Links==If anyone knows how to translate This new arrangement follows the google links into general practice of other wikis. Hopefully, this will encourage more participation by seasoned wikipedians in the asian characters, please do soWurm Online community. thx, <small>--[[User:UzetaabThyrh|UzetaabThyrh]] 20:42, March 9, 2006 (CST)</small><br>Senryaku ha kaimu!

== Templates ==I made a stub template, use <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> infobox|Older discussions are archived to put it in your articlesa subpage of the '''Main Page''' periodically. :) <small>To view a summary, see [[UserTalk:Lainiwakura|Lain IwakuraMain Page/Archives]] 11:53, 8 January 2006 (CST)</small>{{stub.}}

It's new template time again! <del>This one has bugs however, due == Continents link name changed to dependency problems</del> Continents (servers) ==Although I appreciate the use of in cannon terms on the front page of the wiki I'll fix laterthink that it could lead to some confusion. In my experience, everywhere else what is labeled continents here is called servers; on the forums, in game, the name of the wiki page, and in other games..maybe I believe changing the name to something like Continents (Servers) will greatly increase the usability, especially for new players.Use the <nowiki>{{cleanup}}</nowiki> tag on pages that have bad formatting or Wikicode.-[[User:Grimbark|Grimbark]] ([[User talk:Grimbark|talk]]) 14:22, 27 December 2012 (CST)

{{cleanup}}==Wiki Admin Change==How do I get a wiki account? <smallstrike>--[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 21:48, 7 April 2006 (CDT)Contact Eir for a wiki account.</smallstrike>Please do not contact Rolf and Egal about Wiki accounts.

Another new one, use the <nowikistrike>{{Copyedit}}It's now Mamadarkness. Rawr.</nowikistrike> tag for pages that have spelling or grammar mistakes[[User:Virtue|Virtue]] ([[User talk:Virtue|talk]]) 17:03, or use 'leetspeak'...:P24 June 2014 (CEST)

{{Copyedit}}<small>--[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 02:01, 15 As of June 2006 (CDT)</small>----== Prototyping == I'm prototyping a new mainpage with a 'Wurmictionary' or babel, will list all articles 2015 editor accounts may be obtained by letter, [[User:Lainiwakura/NewMainPagePrototype|you can see it here]]. <small>--[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 06:55, 20 May 2006 (CDT)</small>: The prototype looks messed up in Firefox here. "Wiki editing requires login", "Categories" and IRC are on the right side of the contents window now, while the babel is below them in the right bottom corner. <small>--[[User:Manny|Manny]] 0:43, 21 May 2006 (GMT+2)</small>: That's why it's a prototype... :P, I don't want to break the real mainpage whilst I experiment. <small>--[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 12:49, 21 May 2006 (CDT)</small>: Woo! Fixed it, should look right in Firefox & Opera now, but IE is being mean. :( <small>--[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 02:06, 24 May 2006 (CDT)</small>----== Re organise completing the main page == The main page is a bit messy application form located at the moment. I think we should make something simple like Wikipedia's Main Page. It will help users find things faster. Does anyone agree? I will work on a prototype of the ideas I have in mind - check my [[Userhttp:Ancient|user page]].--[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 12:04, 6 June 2006 (CDT) Here's what I've got so far: [[User:Ancient/Prototype_Main_Page]]. Any ideas and suggestions? Do you think we should replace the main page with this. I've also seen that Lain Iwakura is working on alphabetical categories for all articles: [[User:Lainiwakura/NewMainPagePrototype]]forum. This could be introduced into my prototype too and replace the main-pagewurmonline. Does anyone think this is a good idea? --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 13:21, 6 June 2006 (CDT) I like it so far. :) <small>--[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 06:04, 7 June 2006 (CDT)<com/small> Well I've just about finished it - if i've forgotten some things then people can add them laterindex. Unless anyone objects then we can replace the main page with it soon. <small>--[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 09:56, 8 June 2006 (CDT)</small> Two thumbs up: clean and efficient <small>--[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 16:53, 13 june 2006 (EST)</small> Since babel is starting, maybe a "(work in progress)" beside "Alphabetically Categorised Articles" would be in order for a while. <small>--[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 17:07, 13 june 2006 (EST)</small> Maybe we can put the contents in a little box :) --[[User:Sppt|Sppt]] 13:21, 14 June 2006 (CDT) I've took out most of the HTML in [[Fr:Page principale]]. Is it okphp? ''Fits well for a test page.''. --[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 06:39, 16 June 2006 (CDT) Absolutely fine. I don't mind - I think most people also find it easier to edit in wiki-code but I just don't get tables in it - that's why the new Main Page is nearly all HTML. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 14:32, 16 June 2006 (CDT) == Babel == This babel is quite a load of work. Makes me amazed at how big this wiki really is. :I know, I've done tons of pages. :) <small>--http:/topic/img157.imageshack.us/img157/1144/duckie0fq.gif[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 10:22, 22 June 2006 (CDT)</small> == French branch == I was wondering if a translation effort would be welcomed. Is it?  Huh? There are not that much French people playing wurm :p I would be useless And how could we translate the 1000+ article? It's a lot of work, and I don't think that there are a lot of people who can speak french who want to translate the whole wiki :O Up to now, me and [[User:Kiri|Kiri]] are on it. We tried it on the [[Page principale|Main page]]. 126364-wurmpedia-[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 14:03, 14 June 2006 (CDT) I asked [[User:Egal|Egal]] and she said that the french pages should be prefixed with either "Francais:" or "Fr:". I think "Fr:" would be just fine. Onward, "Es:", "Ru:", might become interesting. -editor-[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 02:05, 16 June 2006 (CDT) Would it be possible for Wurmpedia to detect the language preference of the visitor's browser and redirect those who chose fr, fr-CA, fr-FR, fr-BE, fr-CH and on to [[Fr:Page principale]]? --[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 22:10, 16 June 2006 (CDT)   That would be possible if we asked Egal to make a script that does it. For example there is a wiki.php script which is executed when the user clicks "Wiki" in the menu, instead of going straight to the wiki, then the wiki.php script finds the language and redirects the user onwards to the real wiki. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 05:32, 17 June 2006 (CDT) My proposed code is below:  <?php // Language Redirect Script by Graham Edgecombe aka Ancient // // Find the user's language $language = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']; // Default it to English if it is not set by the browser if(!isset($language)) { $language = "en"; } // A list of all the languages supported and their "Main Page" names is defined here $languages_supported = array ( "en" => "Main Page" "fr" => "Page principale" "de" => "Hauptseite" ); // Checks to see if the users language is supported if(isset($languages_supported[$language])) { applications// If so redirect them to their language's home page which is "language code":"Main Page in that language" - of course this means English goes to "En:Main Page" so we will have to make a redirect in the wiki to go back to "Main Page" header("Location: http://www.wurmonline.com/wiki/" . $language . ":" . $languages_supported[$languageURL]); } else { // Otherwise redirect them to the Main Page, this could also be another page saying that the language is not supported header("Location: http://www.wurmonline.com/wiki/Main Page"); } ?<br> --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 05:28, 17 June 2006 (CDT) The web server has a function that, when there current Wurmpedia Manager is a page that has multiple copy but all ending with a language code Marni (ex.: index.html.en, index.html.fr, index.html.fr-CH, index.html.esor bwg) then it returns the file that match the language of the browser. It isn't turned on by default. I don't think that would work with the wiki - it would do a different index.php file for each language, what we want is a different page in the wiki database, and that has to be done by passing a different parameter to the script, not by finding a different index.php file. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 01:55, 18 June 2006 (CDT) ***Did anything ever become of this idea? The implementation seems sound enough. <small>--http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/8964/duckieta2.gif[[User:LainiwakuraMarni|Lain Iwakura]] 03:48Marni, 21 December 2006 (CST)</small> == German translation == Well I've translated the Main Page into [[De:Hauptseite|German]]. It has been done by using my current knowledge, looking up words in dictionaries and not translating the complicated bits - just removing them! There are probably some mistakes in there - if someone finds any and knows German then please fix them! --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 02:50, 18 June 2006 (CDT)  == Dutch Translation ==i guess since were having german and french translations that a dutch one would also be in place? --[[User:Sppt|SpptWurmpedia Manager]] 07:29, 18 June 2006 (CDT) :If you know Dutch then it would be great! --[[Usertalk:AncientMarni|Ancienttalk]] 06:48, 19 June 2006 (CDT) ::dutch is my mother language::edit: i'm thinking of making a program either in php or java to grab the page, then i run some. replaces over it to translate it, write it to a file, and then i'm going to check them and upload it. but the thing is: i have to think of a way to do this  ::edit of the edit: i managed to do it using the curl library, code is [http://pastebin.com/720817 here]<br> ::note: this is only the source grabber, i'm working out how to strip out the content ~ [[User:Sppt|Sppt]] 15:24, 19 June 2006 (CDT) == Signature generator == Today I made a signature generator for my Wurm fansite. You can access it [http://www.grahamedgecombe.com/wurm/index.php?c=signature.php here]. You can choose a background image, add some text and put some dynamic text in. At the moment you have three choices for dynamic text: number of players on home server, number of players on wild server or number of players on all the servers. It might be slightly off to what you see on [http://www.wurmonline.com www.wurmonline.com] because it only updates every 5 minutes. Here's a sample signature: http://www.grahamedgecombe.com/wurm/sig.php?r=255&g=255&b=255&img=6&text_dynamic=pcTotal&dynx=200&dyny=80&text_normal=%3D+Ancient+-+Wurm+Online+Player+-+Member+of+DarkWood+%3D&staticx=5&staticy=20&/file001.pngIt exports HTML, wikicode and BB code. Thought it might be interesting to put it up here. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 07:33, 30 December 2006 (CST) Another thought: maybe we could make a player count for the main page. Anybody like the idea? --Ancient 0701:39, 30 December 2006 27 July 2015 (CSTCEST)
