- Hi. I'm a little confused--if the wiki is moved from EditThis there's going to be a link or it will redirect to the new site, right? I really hope to do more editing and I would be extremely disappointed if I couldn't just because I had trouble navigating the new Wiki.
- Hi all. The easiest thing to do is just prevent editing and add a sitenotice linking to the new wiki. It'll automatically appear at the top of every page.
The new wiki is all ready to go if you want to try this now.
Vermilion Maiden - the new wiki can be set to look just like this one, so you shouldn't have any trouble navigating it.
Drifting - don't forget to make an account so you can be made an admin on the new wiki!
- He's similar to the Consultant in that he is one of the very few characters seen in the series that you can't play as.
- I personally looked into using Wikia a few months ago, but I couldn't see a way of transferring all the work we've done here onto a new account there. Is there a way to do this free of charge?
- Must've been scared of me. Only kidding. Man its been great been being here but...I'VE FORGOT TO PLAY TS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Oh by the way i live right round the corner of me mates house and it defiantly says 30.0 secs.
- Hi. Xylaquin - I can move the content for you. It's no problem, and of course free. ILHI - there are ads for unregistered users, as with this wiki, but if you use the alternate skins, registered users rarely get ads. I can help you change your personal stylesheet if you want to remove the navigation block. If you want a simpler skin, you might prefer cologne blue. If you want no sidebar at all, then try nostalgia.
- Move wiki, delete this wiki, create this wiki again and have on the main page in big writing "Hey old users, we have moved to Wikia." He'll find out if he ever wants to come back here again. I assume he'll have no objection, we lose out on nothing, we gain loads more things. EY could be forever seeming he comes on here four times a year. Last time he came here I think the only article he made was deleted. :D
- I've set the new wiki to the original monobook skin . You can either use that, or select one of the other skins in your preferences . I've sent an email to Elite Yoshi but not heard back from him yet.
- I was logged in.
And I know all the things I can do - plus it ain't LCD. It's default is 800x600. I just changed it to 1024x768 and the writing is really small.
- The ads depend on the skin you're using. I set the wiki to monobook to look like this one, but if you try either the newer quartz skin or the old blue skin, you won't see ads when logged in. We're going to be releasing a new skin next week called monaco which I'm hoping with be an improvement on any of these 3!
- I was hacked! If I did any editing since my last comment in chat, it was not me. All I know is that someone changed my password. I think it's all sorted out now, just wanted to say this so I didn't get accused of something I didn't do.
- I miss EY! He was kindof our leader in a way. I think we should just leave the wiki as it is. Just leave it as wiki.
- ARGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! What is with you and proof! I've already said i've looked at his stats and everything and live a few secs away from him. Man, it's so hard for people to beileive you nowadays.
- Hey guys, do you think we should add a non-playable maps/areas part. A lot of Challenges use areas of places that would be easier describable in a section. So we make up a name for the place, input it into the article with the link to the Non Playable Map page where it says something along the lines of "The area on You Genius, U-Genix where The Freaks are being tested on.
Though there are many and it seems rather pointless seeming most appear in one level.
- The unlimited space is really the only advantage I can see for moving from Editthis. It would be nice to be able to upload pictures instead of hosting them at Imageshack.
- The slowdown Editthis seemed to be having has stopped finally.
As long as we can keep our layout and transfer all of our data, I'm fine with moving to Wikia. There doesn't seem to be a strong reason not to, other than Elite Yoshi.
- Unless there isn't a big navigation block on the side or advertisements, I can't say I'd prefer it. If it appeared the same as on here.
- If someone comes here, they won't be able to edit, even if they are registered. People cannot register here either, the wiki is completely locked basically, and can only be read. At the top of every single page on this wiki, there will be a banner than tells people we've moved, it will have a link to the main page of the new site.
- When you log in the ads disappear, ILHI. Plus even if it is a family computer, 1024x768 is better. I mean, assuming you have an LCD monitor, doesn't having a lower res than the native res of the monitor make it look a bit icky?
If the size of 1024x768 is such a problem, you can do a few things to make it better whilst still keeping to 1024x768. For example, in your browser, hold down Ctrl and move you mouse-wheel to scale the text. You could also use the Display Properties to make the icons bigger in 1024x768 if that's the problem .
Alternatively, you might prefer to keep 800x600, and use the Ctrl+Mouse-wheel trick to reduce the size of the text in your browser so that things arn't squashed up.
Everything seems to be fine for the move to Wikia IMO, except I really like the logo here :-/
- Sighs
- I completly agree with the logo part. Man, it's so annoying, hopefully we'll get a smaller logo. Anyone got any requests like fill in someones stats or something? As Cortez would say "It's time to split! I hope TS4 comes out this july!
- @ ILHI
People won't edit because admins can disable editting and registrations.
- Would it be possible to also link to the same page on wikia using in the url? It may not work due to brackets, but do they automatically change anyway?
Edit: It does, [http://timesplitters.wikia.com/wiki/Time To Split ] will redirect.
- Elite Yoshi is the founder, and one cannot overlook his absence. It was I who designed the system we currently use on the wiki today; the main page, the infoboxes and what goes on a page. You can see here what this wiki was before I arrived. I updated the main sections, the side bar, and assigned a colleague on another forum to design the logo .
As such, I have sort of self-proclaimed myself as head-admin, I recruited all the current admins today and act in Elite Yoshi's place in his absence . Once I had setup the workings of the wiki, I wrote all the TS1 character pages and uploaded the images .
However I would like to address myself, as after I had completed that my contributions to the wiki decreased. I know consider my job on this wiki as a technician of sorts, I ban spammers, fix errors and create new features. Admins Drifting and ILHI are more prosperous on this wiki than I am now, , but ILHI and Drifting actually make edits I am thus currently tuning up the admin page and reviewing the current admins who are inactive.
Now to address the issue of Wikia, I have some questions:
# Is it possible to make monobook the default? If we move I'd like it to look as much like the current design as possible.
# Is it possible to move the adverts on the right of page to the bottom of the page?
# The custom error messages, will they still be possible?
I'm concerned with the adverts because I want to keep this wiki's professionalism
- Oh yeah. I was thinking using the infoboxes but the logos on every page, and we could change some of the links in the sidebar riderecting to wikia.
As for closing wikis, to EditThis do that? According to editthis we are the third highest ranked wiki. Wikis can be left inactive for ages and nothing happens, as can be seen from another wiki on here I know of.
- Ok, I think it's time. I have locked the wiki's registrations and edits, if EY has any concerns he can contact us by our email.
- Hosting images externally isn't that big of a hassle. Having the space to upload pics would just be more convenient, if not necessary. As for movies, we can just link to those. Having movies embedded into a Wiki page wouldn't look very good anyway.
I suggest we take a poll.
- Elite Yoshi's had almost 2 weeks to respond and hasn't yet. Should we give him more time or should we vote on a move now?
- If you don't use many programs besides the Internet, you could adjust your res to 1024x768 and then adjust the text size of your browser.
- It looks like we have no choice. No-one takes that long to reply back. He's been gone now for months or possibly a year so somethings not right...
- I thought Chat was getting a little big, so I archived it.
- People will edit it, and therefore they won't be editing the wikia.
Also EY was no leader. He started the wiki, yes, but since you've been here he's made one appearance and made one page which was later deleted.
- I may not like the idea but it seems i have no choice but to vote that we should move the wiki.
- I can do a new logo, easy. If I can get a hold of the tablet. Also TS4, we can guess sometime 2009, or after.
As for moving, hopefully EY gets here quickly, I can't stand this whoe "two minutes working, twenty-eight minutes not working". Unfortunately I still have three other wikis hosted here.
- Even though EY started this wiki, we've all contributed to it, and it's become all of ours. He's been given ample notice and hasn't responded. I think we have enough of a claim on this wiki to move it without his input. No one can say we didn't try.
Here's one more vote for moving.
- Because. Proof isn't hard to obtain if it's true, it's the only thing to make us believe if we've seen it with out own eyes. Even then, some people still refuse to believe - and they return this with "Photoshop'd." Will we ever believe in aliens?
- DO NOT delete this wiki. When we move I'll just lock registrations and edits and place a banner upon the main page redirecting people.
- I've set up a demo so you can have a look and see what it's like at Wikia. I've written about some of the advantages and listed the top 10 features. Let me know what you think.
- You can add to pages to have them automatically link to the right place on the new wiki. I will help to add this to the most visited pages once you've decided about closing this wiki. You can also add a Sitenotice with a message that the wiki has moved. Please let me know soon if you want to move, since I've been keeping the two wikis in sync so edits aren't lost, but I can't keep doing that forever! :)
- Give him a bit more time. There's a chance he doesn't get on the computer often.
- Well, I don't care much about EY ever coming back. He just started it, he doesn't do much anymore and it is happily maintained by the three active admins.
Don't need widgets, editthis has one method of stopping spam bots, so it's only those sad prats that register and vandalize, although that's part of the fun of being an admin ^_^.
Edit Count is intersting, but not necessary and randomimage would never be used. There's a gallery of new files here.
Meh, page creation is easy enough here, if it's a new user who doesn't know wiki formatting, then they're probably not adding much to the page anyway, which will either be quickly rectified or added to one of our to do lists. [1] [2]. Which either us, or visitors will edit, only if they can add the information or add the infobox.
So, that makes three things, I think.
# We can upload all our files to the wiki.
# We can embed youtube videos.
# We can take sections out of the infobox, right? Just miss out part of the code and it won't show up on the infobox. This will help us loads, we could edit them with TS2 Agility and TSFP agility, and if they don't feature on the games, then we won't feature them in the infobox.
Though, can we still include the navigation like it is shown exactly like on this.
- I don't care much that the images are from external sites, though, having the ability to add youtube videos gives the opportunity to put WR vids in the Arcade League and Challenge articles.
- EY isn't as active on the internet as he was. Nothing's wrong. However, I say move now.
- Hi guys, listen big news. The reason i haven't been editing the the Wiki latley is school it's been hard to catch up. But i'll do you all a favor. you can do me a request like...you know? Well guys what do you think? I'll try to keep editing the wiki...i promise
- Changing the logo shouldn't be a big deal. I'd do it myself if I thought I could do a halfway-decent job at it.
So, besides EY's input, are we all in agreement that we should move to Wikia?
- I think we should wait until we get Elite Yoshi's input first. Although I do think that Xylaquin is near equal authority over issues concerning the wiki.
- I'm sorry that happened, Slagar. Luckily, there have been no edits made with your account since your last post in TS Chat . I'd recommend upgrading to a password with random numbers and letters to prevent this from happening again.
- Thanks, Angela. I'm sorry, I'm a moron. I still don't understand. If the Wiki moves, will it redirect there from here if someone comes here to EditThis?
Edit: Thanks for clearing that up for me, Xylaquin.
- I knnnooooow. Dj said leave it open as a wiki. A wiki is something edited by the community, if editing is locked it becomes more like an information site for, well, information.
@Dj: Still waiting on that proof.
- Family Computer = Most used computer. Not just internet.
- Didn't you say that members wouldn't see the ads? I've registered but they're still there.
- Well, here's a wiki that does use embedded youtube videos. I'll let you decide from that.
- Hey guyz, I think I sorted out the page thing so I have nothing against moving the site. Except the Main Page is called "TimeSplitters Wiki." I prefer Main Page, we can change that but is there a rule?
Taking sections out of the infobox will be a great alternative to N/A. So I'm all for it. Only downside is the logo.
- Hello various people. I've done my 'little' bit of editing for THIS friday night. I need something better to do with my time at weekends, don't I? Just thought I might as well say something, y'know... That is all.
- Firstly, to summarise - by moving, you would have fewer ads, faster speed, more features, and free promotion.
Secondly, to answer your questions -
ILHI - you can customize the navigation to keep it as /contents/other/search/toolbox.
Xylaquin -
#You can set monobook as default. Any user can also make their own decision in their preferences about which skin to use.
#If you log in, you won't see ads at all!
#Error messages can be customized. In fact, any part of the skin and interface can be edited.
- Angela: Elite Yoshi drops in every once in awhile. I would feel guilty moving his wiki without his input just because he doesn't contribute much. It's his wiki after all.
ILHI: I guess it's just a matter of personal opinion. If we were to have embedded videos it wouldn't be a big deal. I'm just saying that my personal preference would be to link to them.
- Hi again. It's definitely not only about videos, but also about the other features, and also just about having your own wiki in case the founder of this one never comes back.
- One more reason to: Doesn't slowdown as much as EditThis.info.
One more reason against: Mod ILHI uses 600x800 most of the time recently. <a href="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j106/ILHI/Jacque.png
No">http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j106/ILHI/Jacque.png
No</a> I will not change my screen size. This is a family computer used by several people. Everything becomes smaller, this being annoying. <a href="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j106/ILHI/no3.jpg
Unless">http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j106/ILHI/no3.jpg
Unless</a> you can remove side adverts to adverts at the bottom of the page, I am against.
- Deleting this wiki and re creating it and locking it is the best thing to do. It will remove all the information from here and send people to wikia where it probably has a more updated article. Once we move to wikia we'll edit there, right? So these articles will be out of date and we have no need in them.
Deleting this wiki and re creating it means our members trying to get back to the wiki will, then they'll see we've moved and they'll move to wikia. Google will still lead to the articles here, unless we edit all the pages with links to wikia - because of the links supplied elsewhere, I say when we move this wiki is useless.
- What was that janitor guy mopping the floor in the cutscene in the end of the level: U genius U Genix?
