Forum:Help inputing Template:Disambig on our Wiki

Hey, I'm one of the administrators of our Wiki, The Monster Hunter Wiki. Unlike other wikis, we don't have a Disambiguation Template yet, so I decided to make one for our wiki, as I feel we're going to need it sooner.

My problem is, that it isn't working, this page wasn't listed here after a day of testing. I'd like some help creating things properly, and I'm also wondering if I did something wrong too on this page.

Thank you, and please reply ASAP. ouo Maku! ouo Click smiley to reply 11:34, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * On that MediaWiki page, you're transcluding the template, instead simply type out the name "template:disambig" and it should work. Joey (talk) 22:21, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I hate when people ask help with fully protected pages... — TulipVorlax 06:41, April 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Agree with Tulip Vorlax - site has a lot of protected pages which does not help editors, but the template:Disambig page is not protected so I've added the missing  Category code to add pages with the template on into the Category:Disambiguation pages. Theres enough admins to keep an eye on pages & wikia policy is against protecting pages unless vandalism is a problem.(I would protect core templates once functioning if used on many pages, but i've not found many vandals who bother with templates, and it would be pretty obvious in most cases, easily rectified)
 * Tried to add a Doc page to the template page, but the Documentation suite is incomplete and a very old version with lots of bits in that needs updation (would suggest replacing with Wikia 'lite' version - less complex than Media wiki / WP's version) - so just added a basic usage note. With a proper Doc page the Cats then go in the doc page with interwiki links (if relevant).

 * About the Protection policy, it seemed to me that Wikia staff have stop enforcing it.
 * I found out about it because i was often asking them to unprotect thing and now they just reply that local admin have the right to protect anything they want.

 * The special page you mentioned, Special:Disambiguations, displays pages that link to a disambiguation page. Since nothing links to your disambiguation page, it won't appear in the list. Try linking to that page from another article in the wiki and see what happens on the special page. - Adan Aileron (talk) 05:52, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

I am so very sorry for those protected pages... I forgot I protected it Dx I unprotected it now.

I've been worried about them protecting pages too....I have already asked two of the admins who have been protecting alot of pages to lower or even stop protecting some pages..but they think it would be better of for anon users to not edit some popular pages, and we have been vandalized alot by them too..

As for the suggestion from Adan, I'll be trying that now, thanks. Maku! ouo Click smiley to reply 10:17, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
