Hi Raymond, thanks for helping out with the categories on the [[PattayaWiki]] entry I initiated. I am new to Wikis and wasn't quite sure how to place it. I initially created loads of category tags which I now realize was a mistake, Harry Wood cleared them up and I have also written to him via his User Talk page. | |||

The main guy behind the Pattaya Wiki is Pete who has been running the PattayaTalk.com forum for about a decade - it's an excellent forum with a lot of knowledgeable regulars. I suggested a wiki because I noticed how a lot of excellent contributions were submerging over time and the same questions were being asked again and again; veteran users were becoming antagonistic towards newbies who apparently didn't know how to use the search feature. I had never run a wiki but am a heavy Wikipedia user and am convinced that, if we can dig out all the wisdom that has been shared over the years in forum and refashion it for the wiki, it will be an extremely useful resource. | The main guy behind the Pattaya Wiki is Pete who has been running the PattayaTalk.com forum for about a decade - it's an excellent forum with a lot of knowledgeable regulars.

That's a really good idea, but I'm just not sure of the implementation given that we'd normally categorize that field and if we did so, then we'd have tons of category entries for the articles that in fact have wikinodes.

== re: MediaWiki:Name == | |||
Well, when you sign up here, you're asked for a Username. It's no wonder people don't put their real names. What I'm trying for is that people are ased for their Name. It doesn't have to say RealName, because your name is your name. At least that's what I'm trying for. I don't actually know if I've suceeded.

== wiki reputation system == | |||
Ray, it just occured to me that reverting spam and patrolling recent changes are both function you'll want to capture in your wiki reputation system. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:53, 19 July 2006 (EDT) | |||

Ray, take a look at [http://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=Template%3ARecent_visitors&diff=28907&oldid=28904 this diff]. See how there was two single quotes at the start of <nowiki>''11-Aug-2006: [[Scouting_wikis]] added these. Scouting wikis. for more info. Eemail:[email protected]''<br></nowiki> and then the change shows those single quotes inside a cut and paste that Mark did?. This demonstrates what I was trying to get at when talking with you long ago about the difficulty of determining who did what. Are you writing a new diff engine or a new way to store pages or both? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 11:01, 18 August 2006 (EDT) | |||
: yeah, that's difficult to deal with. Our current plan is to measure one thing at a time and right now it is just "added characters". "Deleted Characters" and other measurements to come when we have reasonable algorithms to calculate them. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Ray King|talk]]</small> 10:01, 19 August 2006 (EDT) | |||

== .wiki == | |||
This TLD has become available. Did You register any domain under such a TLD? [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 00:28, 2 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
I think that a server change is already "complicated" enough for this wiki and its users. I do not think it should be made more complex or complicated by opening the discussion about the new name at the same time. I prefer to get a new name ending on .wiki, but I would not like to complicate the situation, because from my experience with this wiki and its community, this will most likely lead to one of those so called "endless discussions". If one would like to get anything done, one has to keep it as simple as possible in order to get any kind of result within a reasonable time here. Therefore I request You to "keep it simple". Please also take into consideration, that a change of name inevitably rises a new-logo debate which obviously would become even more emotional than a "simple" name discussion! I would strongly prefer to avoid such a three-tire discussion right now (move-name-logo). Move is complex enough, really. It includes extensions and backup and cleaning the user list. The later is already very difficult to solve. [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 16:13, 16 November 2014 (UTC) | |||

==[[Special:AbuseFilter/12|Abuse filter 12]] blocking sign-up for [[Special:Contributions/Jordan_D|Jordan D]]== | |||
Hi Ray, hope you are well. | |||
I have been looking through the [[Special:AbuseLog|Abuse filter log]] and noticed a trigger alert of 25 August 2018 disallowing the creation of a [[username]] (and therefore account) by [[Special:Contributions/Jordan_D|Jordan D]] that contained the word 'Jordan'. Knowing that is an acceptable christian name / given name and/or surname, I amended [[Special:AbuseFilter/12|Abuse filter 12]] to effectively allow 'Jordan' to create an account contaning said username. Further down the abuse filter log, I also noticed that both Mark Dilley and yourself tried to manually create a user account for the same Jordan D on 15 July 2018, but without success. Now that I have amended offending abuse filter, if either yourself or Mark still have contact details for Jordan D, maybe you (or Ray) can try again to create his account. | |||
I shall copy the above to [[User talk:MarkDilley]], just in case Mark has more time or still has the contact details of Jordan D. Miss your input here, hope you can find time to actively return. All the best.

== Domain redirection from WikiIndex.com to .org == | |||
== | Hi, Ray! Many old Fandom (Wikia) sites still have [[wikiindex:]] interwiki link set to http://wikiindex.com/$1. For examples, see [https://cities.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo cities.fandom] (a.k.a. [[Cities Wiki]]), [https://list.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo list.fandom] ([[WikiLists]]) and the ''Star Trek'' wiki, [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo memory-alpha.fandom] ([[Memory Alpha]]). | ||
<u>The problem is, https://wikiindex.com/aaaa or any URL to dot-com with any subpage just redirects to the homepage (https://wikiindex.org). Thoughts on fixing how that domain redirection is set up?</u> Cooperating with Fandom doesn't really work since they're generally hostile to linking to outside wikis, so the ball is on our court to take advantage of already existing interwikis from a simpler time. —[[User:AStranger195|AStranger195]] ([[User talk:AStranger195|talk]]) 11:39, 27 March 2023 (UTC) | |||
