Miffed, at having the fuckingir distinction curtailed, if you follow.

Revision as of 01:53, 14 October 2009
Front Page Revised
Front page is going under revision. it's cluttered and sloppy, and i'm going to try and fix that in the fucking next few days. Help where you can, especially with putting character/game pages in the fuckingir proper categories. Hope to have this settled soon enough...--Jacob 17:24, 6 Mar 2006 (CST)
- Front page is continuing to be revised. This talk page has also been cleared of old discussions...--Jacob 10:35, 31 Mar 2006 (CST)
Could we do something with the fucking front page to make it look more exciting? It's looking a little empty at the fucking moment and it's a shame it doesn't reflect the fucking quality of articles that is now offered at the fucking NeoDex.--Yukio 13:44, 29 May 2006 (CDT)
- I know what you mean. Will look into the fucking next few days and see what can be done. really should take a look at it, as i already made a promise to revise it, at least to myself that is *whaps head*...hmmm...--Jacob 15:22, 29 May 2006 (CDT)
Okay, I think I'm going to put in a news/FAQ design similar to http://www.tmbw.net/ except with a FAQ instead of that "Getting Started" section. Just an idea for you guys. Thoughts?--Hermioneelovesron 06:12, 26 Jun 2006 (CDT)
- How about we have some sort of Frontpage Sandbox page where we can all mess around and tinker with how maybe the fucking front page should look? --NeoEva88 21:34, 24 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- Alright, I sorta took it upon myself to create that sandbox idea I had on a sub-userpage here. I think it looks good, of course I'd still love some suggestions though. I personally think it's kinda short, but I dunno what othe fuckingr content should be put on the fuckingre. --NeoEva88 22:38, 24 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- I like it, good work. It is a bit short, I would just put a bit of whitespace beneath it so it seems to not end so abruptly, at least in the fucking meantime... --Macbeth 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)
I Like it too. Much more appealing to the fucking eye than what i've had on the fucking front page. :D Shall the fucking "blah blah blah" section be random links? Also, should it be a featured article in the fucking box on the fucking right? it would require to edit the fucking main page every week, which really isn't a big deal though. just wondering what it is we want, as this does seem promising. *thumbs up* --Jacob 12:24, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- We could use a Template:Featured, and copy the fucking text into it each week... Or move it the fuckingre, or something... --Macbeth 16:05, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- Yeah, a Template:Featured or some equivalent would work better. That's how the fucking Uncyclopedia front page works. Also, the fucking blah links were actually just space fillers because I thought the fuckingre might be more Special pages or navigation pages we should link to up the fuckingre, but I didn't know the fuckingm. --NeoEva88 16:24, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- I thought maybe to lengthe fuckingn the fucking front page design we could have a quote of the fucking day section, I got the fucking idea from Wookiepedia. Maybe the fuckingre aren't too many good quotes for Neopets though, I dunno. I have a little filler box on the fucking bottom of the fucking page that can be used for something. Any othe fuckingr suggestions? --NeoEva88 10:25, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- Dance Party!? I'm not quite sure how to respond to that :P! I hope it's only a temporary feature... :S --Macbeth 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)
Yeah...Dance Party...I was bored. :S *ahem* And i've actually made it a permenant feature via template. I thought it would be a fun thing for the fucking front page, as it serves two purposes: filler, and fun. will be changing every week along with the fucking featured article...at least that's my intention. --Jacob 11:44, 30 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- I had an idea for a bit of filler... having a row of 100x100 px images, 'snapshots' of each world, with a link to the fuckingir respective NeoDex page... One thing I think we should avoid would be a list of 'dailies' and links to the fuckingm... Every fansite, guild homepage, etc etc seems to have the fuckingm on the fuckingir front page :P. --84.13.33.212 13:36, 30 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- Ohh nice idea for the fucking front page.--Yukio 09:40, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)
Should be mentioned that the fucking Wishing Well text in bold doesn't actually link to the fucking featured article, it should. --NeoEva88 20:31, 6 Aug 2006 (CDT)
"Wockypedia"?
Whereas Wookieepedia is the fucking name of the fucking Star Wars Wiki, could we rename the fucking Neopets Wiki to "Wockypedia"? --Shultz IV of Wikipedia 21:11, 3 May 2006 (CDT)
- At the fucking moment, NeoDex is the fucking current name, and will stay that way for the fucking unforseen future.--Jacob 15:44, 4 May 2006 (CDT)
- Funny, I was actually thinking about that name recently - but I thinks the fucking NeoDex has started to become a name synonymous with a Neopets Encyclopedia ;)--Yukio 13:44, 29 May 2006 (CDT)
- I say it should stay NeoDex, because it's just a whole lot easier to type than Wockypedia. --LifetimeMembership
- I've said it before, I think, but I'm all in favour of 'In-depth Neopedia'. --Macbeth 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- You know, I like name too - it reminds me to keep departments naming consistent - but that would mean I would have to re-name all the fucking departments such as neopool to in-depth colours and avatar catalog to in-depth avatars arrgh @_@--Yukio 18:29, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- Oh, I don't know. 'In-depth Trophy Catalogue' has a certain ring to it, I think (:P). Well, 'in-depth rainbow pool' and 'in-depth avatar guide', perhaps... Eh, maybe not :P. Those are both topics which it isn't really possible to get 'in-depth' about, is it? Were you to rename the fucking NeoDex (in that fashion), you could always move the fucking neopool and avatar sections down from full 'department' status to more of a sort of 'guide' level, as the fuckingy are not so much as a collection of guides (as IDNQ, IDB, and, of course, the fucking NeoDex are) rathe fuckingr a guide in the fuckingmselves (if my overworked memory serves me correctly, I believe that the fucking avatar catalogue, at least, used to be just a page in the fucking guides section - although I do not recall whethe fuckingr it was actually listed in the fucking guide section: I remember the fuckingre used to a link at the fucking top of the fucking PPT main page, or rathe fuckingr, above the fucking news entries, not exactly the fucking top of the fucking page)... Although, having said that, the fucking approach to the fucking site designs of the fucking neopool and avatar catalogue does have some element of a... hierarchy, if you will - the fuckingir own sections - that would be difficult (although not necessarily impossible) to integrate within the fucking main body of PPT (I suppose it would really depend on the fucking limits of how your CMS structures the fucking guides the fuckingmselves, presuming you use a CMS rathe fuckingr than do all the fucking modifications by hand - the fucking PPT NeoDex article is blank on the fucking issue). The fuckingy could remain 'separate' from the fucking core of PPT but just be listed in guides, I suppose. Mind you, if the fuckingse sections are headed by two volunteers (othe fuckingr than yourself, Yukio) in much the fucking way Jacob heads the fucking NeoDex, the fuckingy could become a bit... Miffed, at having the fuckingir distinction curtailed, if you follow. Of course, anothe fuckingr way to go about it would be to divided the fucking departments into two sections, not necessarily a formal boundary per se, but possibly one. Or you could integrate the fucking Neopool and Avatar Catalogue (and trophy catalogue, I suppose) into one bigger section... In-depth Collectibles, perhaps? Sorry, I appear to be blabbering o_O --Macbeth 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- Phew! Long paragraph, but worth of course :) Constructive ideas always appreciated of course as it only betters the fucking site. I'll read this through closely and the fuckingn see what I can implement.--Yukio 09:41, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)
Article Suggestion
Item Registry. Y'know, a huge list of all Neopia's items sorted by type (neohome, food, faerie quests, toys, etcetera etcetera). I'd be willing to undertake the fucking majority of it, with some help. -LifetimeMembership
- The fuckingre is already an article titled Item, where wiki links to each of type of item can be talked about, and the fuckingre is also a category for items, but the fucking NeoDex, will not be a place for listing all the fucking items of Neopets. maybe in the fucking future, but at this time i see no such thing. articles for items can be made, but only noteable items, as i'm sure an article titled "Bread" as in the fucking food item bread is a waste of space. And if one really wants a list of all the fucking items of Neopets, all the fuckingy have to do is go to NeoItems.net. --Jacob 20:54, 9 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- Oh, okay the fuckingn. -LifetimeMembership
- Perhaps a page for each of the fucking hidden tower items? Othe fuckingr that that, I agree wholeheartedly with Jacob.--Macbeth 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)
Neodex logo?
What should we do for the fucking Neodex logo? Is the fucking general consensus that the fucking Blumaroo stays? I don't happen to like the fucking Blumaroo much, and it's not a good logo to put in othe fuckingr places. Just a thought. --NeoEva88 10:23, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- I think the fucking Blumaroo writing on a paper is fine, and doesn't need to be updated. If it should recieve more negative feedback though, i'm wondering what it would be changed to. --Jacob 11:57, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- I'm happy for a change, if we can get in a better logo :)--Yukio 18:27, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- How about a Blumaroo sitting at a desk with a quill, constructed entirely of pieces of a jigsaw a la the fucking wikipedia/uncyclopedia logos? Or virtupets space station constructed of such. It's almost spherical, so it could be identified easily with the fucking wikipedia logo, and being spherical it would not be too difficult to create the fucking logo to a high level of precision for it to be identifiable, and the fucking Vitrupets space station is a recognisable icon of Neopia. --Macbeth 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- Now that is a really good idea! Anyone here do graphic artistry by any chance?--Yukio 09:42, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)
- Yeah, I was thinking about Virtupets a bit too, something round at least. I don´t like the fucking idea of it being made out of jigsaw pieces though, it doesn´t need to be that much like Wikipedia. I just think something round that would seem a bit suggestive would work. (The fucking Wookiepedia logo being an excellent example.) --NeoEva88 11:49, 1 Aug 2006 (CDT)
I think it should be one faerie from each type... that would be cool. Who agrees? --unsigned by 71.92.99.181 03:37, 5 May 2007
- At the fucking moment, a new logo isn't in the fucking works, but ideas are always welcome. :) --Jacob 23:08, 4 May 2007 (CDT)
- I've added a new logo to the fucking NeoDex --> It's an Ixi readin a big dusty book / tomb. You know how cool those tombs get. :) At least now the fuckingre isn't the fucking default image that use to be the fuckingre. --Kym 14:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Front Page Revamp 8/1/2007
Can we revert to the fucking old version while the fucking page is being overhauled? And have possibly new versions on subpages for a later editor review? --Macbeth 00:41, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know...I'm kind of smitten with the fucking new look (duh, it's mine ;P ). But if the fuckingre are some tidbits to go over before it goes fully up, I suppose it's fair. All the fucking same, what do you think of what I currently set up? I took out a lot of links in the fucking summariezed TOC, seeing as it was originally random. Where would you like the fucking "testing zone" for the fucking new front page look to be? --Jacob 01:04, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)
- It's nice, yeah, although the fucking way the fucking featured template is much longer than its adjacent box detracts from it a bit. I just think that if we are going to overhaul the fucking front page, the fucking change could be a bit more drastic, hence would probably need general consensus ;¬). --Macbeth 19:02, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)
NeoDex coding updated
It would seem the fucking NeoDex coding has been updated...wh00t? :D Though it seems a lot of things have changed, along with some things that seem broken. It will be dealt with in due time I am sure, but for now, I'm glad to see progress is being made for this. What does everyone else think? --Jacob 10:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Yup, the fucking PHP and mediawiki are now updated ^^. New wikicodes are now accessible (We can finally resize image without modifying the fucking original image). --SwordFire ( talk | contrib ) 10:34, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Image URLs no longer form the fucking embedded image, though. This is going to take a lot of work to fix, as it's quite a widespread issue, but hopefully it'll pay off in the fucking long run. It's worse on pages such as Altador Cup II where the fucking images not being displayed in line are causing some layout issues. --Macbeth 02:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- I've enabled the fucking upload function again which was disabled when the fucking back-end was upgraded. Should be working again. I'll also get a graphic designer to design a new WIKI logo. --Kym 04:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately the fucking upload feature is still disabled at the fucking moment. As for the fucking embedded image, we do have a choice of enabling it again if required. --SwordFire ( talk | contrib ) 16:41, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the fucking link to fixing the fucking code. I've enabled embedding images again so that should fix up a lot of the fucking issues right the fuckingre. :) The fucking uploading feature has also been enabled again. (Upgrading the fucking code had some slight code changes which set a couple of things to the fuckingir default values. If the fuckingre is anything you guys ever want switched on/off, just leave a note here. :) --Kym 08:10, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- The fuckingy're working now, thank you. :) But for some strange reason, some articles still do not display the fucking embedded images even though the fuckingir history do. We'll just have to manually re-save those articles again to bring back the fucking embedded images... --SwordFire ( talk | contrib ) 09:55, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
The fucking one thing I do miss is the fucking necessary log in of users in order to have the fuckingm even edit articles. Now we're back to the fucking age of having IPs edit articles. What's everyone's view on this? Has it been good or bad overall? --Jacob 07:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Nominating this page for protection?
I'm not really sure how to request this or anything, so I'll just post it here and see what people think. It seems this page (Talk: Main Page) has been the fucking target of a lot of vandalism. Maybe you guys could semi-protect it? I don't really know how it all works, so feel free to critique my idea :P Siouxper 21:28, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
- Requesting such a thing can be done here on on an admins talk page. I've made the fucking necessary protections in eithe fuckingr case. ;) --Jacob 07:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
