League of Legends Wikia and wiki.Leagueoflegends.cc
Hello Angela I was wondering if these to pages could be the same because I will start working in that page as well, besides being the only contributor I think there is precedense with WoWWiki.com and Super Smash World. Well any info on how can this be done. --- KazMx The Wolf (T • C • E) 14:52, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * There's nothing at wiki.Leagueoflegends.cc yet. Do you mean that they are planning to put a wiki there? Or are you asking if that could redirect to the Wikia site? Angela (talk) 21:59, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * They put the wiki already and they want me to help them but i can't be on both - KazMx The Wolf (T • C • E) 12:45, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it would be better if they joined you on the Wikia version. The new one only has 5 pages and lacks almost all of the features on Wikia, such as the rich text editor and the other extensions and special pages. Angela (talk) 13:46, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Desgalipedia
Hello, thank you for welcoming of the Desgalipedia Wikia. Well I would help with a basic interface of the site to accept interlinks other family Uncyclopedia. I say that is very gratifying, because this is a wiki version of the Galician language Uncyclopedia. 01:11, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, that will be added soon Angela (talk) 14:06, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Google
I like Wikia becuse it allows you to edit sites that are of interest to you I really like the create a wikia feature becuse its more farer and gives editor the chance to become admins but I find my wikia and others ae slowed down by google advertising This wouldnt be a problem but Google Use a Program called Google Analtycs which is a script hijacker this means it can slow down websites by redirecting bandwidth for advertisments --Owen1983 23:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * If you're logged on, you shouldn't see ads (except on the home page). Google Analytics is a different program which provides stats about each wiki. It should not slow the site down as it loads after the content has loaded. If you do notice it slowing anything down, please report it so it can be fixed. Angela (talk) 04:11, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi, yes, Uncyclopedia is a part of Wikia. And yes, it's allowed. When it begun, it wasn't part of Wikia, but some years ago it joined. Mark (Tedjuh10) - Talk 18:48, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

AbuseFilter
I would like to follow-up on the discussion on the installation of AbuseFilter in RuneScape Wiki. The following is the response you gave in response to my e-mail:


 * Until Wikia moves to a later version of MediaWiki, the AbuseFilter will not work too well as we need to use an older version. It is currently in testing on a couple of wikis and may be available more widely later on.


 * For protection of an entire namespace though, there are other options. A recent feature we added was that anonymous users must complete a captcha when they create a mainspace talk page. Do you want something similar to be applied to the exchange namespace?

Since Wikipedia is running on MediaWiki 1.16alpha-wmf (r55629), and AbuseFilter is installed in Wikipedia, I don't see the "need to use an older version". Since Wikia recently upgraded to MediaWiki 1.15.1, were you referring to some other version? It would be deeply appreciated if you clarified this statement. Could you tell us the wiki the extension is being tested on?

CAPTCHA doesn't suit our needs since we want to restrict how a page in the Exchange namespace is edited, not the person editing it. CAPTCHA only applies to edits made by IPs and new users. We want this to apply for all users.

The pages in the namespace are specifically for holding "price data", and there is a certain way the data is stored. If the data is not formatted correctly, the page needs to be rectified so that the information is displayed correctly. In essence, each Exchange page holds data for displaying something similar to a stock market page. (See Exchange:Bones for an example.)

What we need is an extension which blocks an incorrect edit from being saved, and warns a user that the edit needs to be rectified. Looking through the installed extensions in Wikia, I noticed a couple of extensions that might suit our needs: "Regular Expression Any Text Block" or Regular Expression Spam Block.

Could you kindly advise us on the extensions and on how to prevent incorrect edits from being saved.

Thanks.

 * The abusefilter used on Narutopedia is an old version which was added before Wikia moved to 1.15. It is not installed on RuneScape, but the new tags which are related to this might be as those are part of MediaWiki 1.15. Captchas and RegexBlock are used to prevent spam. It's best to use special:contact to request new extensions so the issue can be properly dealt with and tracked. Angela (talk) 01:23, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
