| − | Regarding the Mod Spotlight image, it occurred to me today that it the image size should probably be standardised to prevent the image overlapping onto the news section below in the future. An embedded image set to a specific size would have probably done the trick, but it looks pretty ugly against the colour of the background, so I've left it as a standard image for now (though i shrunk it a bit and added a border with matching colour). --[[User:Spiff|Spiff]] 12:45, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Thanks Spiff. Think there might be some differences in how things display between browsers. Old size looked fine to me and don't understand what you meant about overlap, could you view the old version from history and give link to screenie somewhere? Also as its similar does [[Medieval_2:_Total_War]] look right to you? --[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 18:00, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

I run my desktop at 1400x1050 and the old image kind of fell down onto the news section below it. It will depend on the resolution the page is viewed at more than anything i suppose. Also that Medieval 2 page looks fantastic to me.--[[User:Spiff|Spiff]] 18:45, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

I just couldn't work out how it had got into news section. Must depend on size of pic, relative to amount of text, relative to screen resolution, which would be fun to work out permutations for!

Or even put the PotW where Mod spotlight is, Mod spotlight under it and shift the news section to the right.... then the bit that should change most often is given the most prominent spot in the middle? -[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 16:11, 10 March 2008 (CDT)

| − | | |
| − | ::Im not sure if it would look too good in the middle, its kind of a small thing and doesn't take up enough space to justify that amount. The most prominent bit i tend to think of is the top of the page, probably top right - at least that's where i figure my eye would be drawn to.

| − | on the front page? Essentially we could have 2, one which replicates the current table which was recently added with regard to modding tools etc, and another below it regarding the Total War community. -Spiff
| |
| − | | |
| − | :As purely personal opinion I think idea could work, would you be able to do bit of draft using the Modding Portal page? so more complete version can be seen - also wasn't sure about that one in terms of colour / style as it seems a bit alien from rest of wiki pages and side bars atm, would you propose changing that? -Mak.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::Well since i was up late tonight anyway, i wrote up and half finished a possible new outline over at [[Spiff_test]] - let me know what you think. It doesn't use the modding portal template, i borrowed the style from another wiki (first one i found on google that looked good). On the plus side, it is easy to edit/understand. -Spiff

| − | === Re-designing Left Side of Main Page? ===
| |
| − | Something to discuss amongst the Wiki people, but I think the left bar could use a thorough re-thinking and design. It hasn't been of much use to date, can something else go there instead? Maybe links to how to better help the Wiki? Since this is a wiki for a forum-centric site, most of the impetus to fix comes from the site and not directly from the Wiki, so I think... something, not sure what. Its late. Anyway, I'd suggest replacing High Quality Articles with a small article spotlight for the week so there is some sort of turnover, and the rest can be important Wiki links. I think things like the FAQ and ToS should be linked to from the main Wiki page, as well as the Modding Portal and Say Cheese Index and other central "hubs" that are on the Wiki and nowhere else. Maybe some Most Wanted articles on the bottom, but (maybe this is where the forum-centric comes into play), I don't see what can really go there that someone not coming from the forum for a specific reason could contribute. - [[User:Professor420|Professor420]] 00:55, 1 September 2007 (CDT)
| |
| − | :agreeing with that in principle, in terms of detail, see what Scorch and others come up with as suggestions - all the bits that need regular updating really need an individual to agree to look after them to make sure they actually happen, in past we've decided it would be nice idea to have most recent...blah, but then it doesn't get updated! What I'd personally like to see really prominent in that side bar is links to portals [[:Category:Portals]] those two for M2 and RTW (or whatever they become), could start something for ETW Portal (though its only got the one page atm), the [[Modding_Portal]] as soon as its populated, and could probably do with a [[TWC Portal]] as well to organise entrance to that area a bit better. Could even shift some of the most wanted / most popular stuff to a "Wiki User Portal" ala: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_Portal, to give link in to the stuff in [http://www.twcenter.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=4 TWC Wiki:] - that depends if that side is worth developing, the fact that this IS forum centric makes it a struggle to get people to use that sort of area! -[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 01:25, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

Now all URLs at [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist the Wikimedia spam blacklist] should be blocked, and so will all domain names at [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]]. I added the spammer's domain name to the list, so it won't be able to create any more pages with those links. Previously, the spam blacklist was set up incorrectly, so it didn't actually work – I've tested to confirm that it now works as intended.

| − | * I changed the captcha to generate images rather than simple math problems. This should make it much harder for robots to do anything. As before, the captcha kicks in only if you're creating an account, failed login, or are adding a URL to a page; and only if you're not logged in.

| − | The Honeypot thing didn't work because it's configured to affect only anonymous edits, and these edits were made by logged-in users. There's probably no point in blocking all the remaining unblocked accounts, because they most likely won't do anything, and if they do it will probably be to try adding something with the same URL, which is now blocked.

| − | If something like this happens again, procedure should be:

| − | | |
| − | * Add any domain names that are being spammed to [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]]. This should stop any given spam attack immediately, if they're adding URLs.
| |
| − | * If one user added a large number of pages, try [[Special:Nuke]].
| |
| − | * If there are lots of pages that were created, ask me to fix it. Shell access is necessary to run the relevant script.
| |
| − | * If it was edits, not created pages, try using the "rollback" links on [[Special:RecentChanges]] if it's a manageable number. If it's an unreasonable number, tell me and I'll figure something out.

| − | If we have a significant amount of more spam, then I'll look into further measures that we can take to foil spammers. —[[User:Simetrical|Simetrical]] ([[User talk:Simetrical|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Simetrical|contribs]]) 12:38, 5 May 2010 (MDT)
