Decisions

Language setup

• Do you think maybe the different languages ought to have different wikis, instead of being on the same pages? --Nick Roberts 20:30, 12 Jul 2005 (EDT)
  • I agree. --Creepyguyinblack 04:50, 13 Jul 2005 (EDT)
  • I changed it. --Jos Elkink 05:08, 13 Jul 2005 (EDT)
  • Would it be possible to make a true multi-language setup, similar to Wikipedia's? I don't know what's involved in making that work (I have a suspicion that it's not feasile here), but it's kind of annoying when half of the time Special:Randompage brings up a Polish page; also crosslinking articles is rather inelegant with the current system (no framework; also there are some pages like Jeep(pl). Sho

Spam

• At the moment Spam is at low levels - just a couple of pages have been targetted - Should we consider only allowing entry by registered users ? --Chris Johnson 14:41, 30 Aug 2005 (EDT)
  • That would be good. It would also make it easier to communicate with some of the users who have been doing a fair amount of work but haven't registered. On the other hand, it would probably be just as effective to block the IPs that have been spamming, and maybe also lock Talk:Equipment, the page that's being spammed. Sho

Tasks

Admin tasks

• Block the following IPs for spam:
  • 69.152.35.94
  • 24.202.53.171
  • 68.75.27.99
  • 66.72.161.240
  • 211.117.169.172
  • 82.67.192.173

• Delete the following pages, which are redundant or meaningless:
  • Budynki i meble is covered by separate buildings and furniture pages.
  • Coaster Harbour* is empty and serves no purpose.
  • Desert Beavers: Need I say more?
  • Stormoffires Song stock is empty and serves no purpose.
  • Kielnia is covered in the tools page.
  • Polish Version is obsolete and redundant.

User tasks

"Stamp of Approval"

It's not clear how much of the stuff here is data from Programming or Resources Department people (and therefore probably complete and correct) and how much is contributions from players like me (and therefore likely to need verification). For example, I'm not sure how much to trust the data on the ability of certain boat types to dock to each other; I feel that it looks like some types were left out, but I can't be sure. Some way of, say, putting a stamp of approval on information would be excellent. Sho

• A good idea would be to add notes into the discussion pages stating the information added and from what department. Personally, I've added the information for vehicles and animals, and so should be 99.9% accurate. --Anthony Roberts 22:59, 16 Aug 2005 (EDT)
