Hi MarvelZuvembie

Welcome on WikiIndex, thanks for the deletion marks :) Greetings from Berlin, Wolf | talk 15:31, 6 October 2008 (EDT)

Image size

Dear MarvelZuvembie, when changing images sizes (having seen the results on the SklogWiki page) I wonder, is it possible to do so in such a way that transparent backgrounds are maintained? (If not then I shall produce a 'transparent' 175px image myself and upload it). All the best, -- Carl McBride (talk) 08:25, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Hello!

Was wondering if you would try to catch me in the IRC Chatroom one of these days - irc.freenode.net, #WikiIndex (irc://irc.freenode.net/wikiindex)

Best, MarkDilley

I've never used IRC, but I'll give it a shot. --MarvelZuvembie 13:56, 20 October 2008 (EDT)

Wiki License

Hi - I am not sure what to do here. Why not go forward with your idea, we can always change the name later. Sound good? Best, MarkDilley

Thanks for the fix on the Forgotten Realms Wiki page

Thanks for correcting my addition of the size template to this wiki.

You're welcome. :-) --MarvelZuvembie 13:27, 10 April 2009 (EDT)

You have no right to delete links to new Wikis!

This Wiki exists for the sole purpose of being a guide to other Wikis regardless of content and you have no right whatsoever to delete links to other Wikis people have created! --67.224.218.67 04:29, 1 May 2009

There are links to URLS that are not even Wikis anymore here!

Miki's website is such a site it may had been a Wiki at some point but now is just an adult website with no Wikimedia content whatsoever... --67.224.218.67 21:24, 1 May 2009

I think some former wikis websites have a place here and I wrote Old Liberapedia after the site was spammed to warn wiki owners and users what can happen to their wikis. We need to justify such links though especialy links to adult websites. Proxima Centauri 01:00, 7 May 2009 (EDT)

Thanks, Proxima. Also, I responded on 67.224.218.67's talk page. NikkiWiki actually is still a wiki, they just put an big ad on their top page is all. So, I redirected the WikiIndex entry to point to the main page of the wiki instead of the ad. --MarvelZuvembie 12:45, 7 May 2009 (EDT)

late response

Hi! Just saw your question about the anonymous person. I think you did the right thing and I want us to really think about this idea: The purpose of this site is to provide an index of wikis, not to review them. - I am not certain that is entirely correct - certainly indexing them is the first thing, I just wonder what else of value can we do.. something to think about. Best, MarkDilley

that's it

Hi Marvel,

[1] I want to integrate the mw_parameters into Template:Size or, better, in an integrated Template:Wiki because size is accepted now. Greetings --Wolf | talk 03:47, 10 May 2009 (EDT)

That sounds like a good idea, and probably not too difficult to implement. --MarvelZuvembie 12:52, 11 May 2009 (EDT)

Extension:Whos online

How do you Allowing wikiuser to have CREATE access

---

Here is how you can configure your wikiuser to have CREATE access to your wikidb:
[user@server extensions]$ mysql -u root -p wikidb
Enter password:
mysql> REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * FROM 'wikiuser'@'localhost';
mysql> REVOKE GRANT OPTION ON * . * FROM 'wikiuser'@ 'localhost';
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE ON * . * TO 'wikiuser'@ 'localhost';

Hi, I was asking you how to do it. Sorry to bother you like that. Sachein 12:30, 23 May 2009 (EDT)

block length

Dear MarvelZuvembie, thank you for adding so many wiki to the WikiIndex and otherwise doing so much to make this WikiIndex a better place.

I suspect you have more experience with blocking users than I do -- would you mind sharing your knowledge at WikiIndex:Blocking Policy ? --DavidCary 08:30, 10 July 2009 (EDT)

MarketsWiki

Are these changes reasonable? You know the wiki better than I do. Proxima Centauri 13:48, 11 August 2009 (EDT)

I don't really know the wiki; I just did some housekeeping on the entry. That said, the editor and changes appear to be legitimate at a glance. --MarvelZuvembie 14:01, 11 August 2009 (EDT)

Need your support to unprotect articles

Hi. Sorry to bug you but we need 3 sysops to get the following articles unprotected. There is basically no one that wants them protected, as far as I can tell. We are not really sure of the purpose of this but, only that you are supposed to decide when we get to move them back out <shrug>. (Notice the statement at the top of these pages):

a lot! [2] Greetings --Wolf | talk 04:28, 21 September 2009 (EDT)

Inactive

That is the way I have been doing them so far :-) - removing categories and still keeping the page around for perpetuity - although I would be open to hearing a different way to deal with the wiki that go by the wayside. Best, MarkDilley

I like that we keep the entry around instead of erasing it. It provides a historical record of what wiki was. This complements the active records which show what wiki is currently. --MarvelZuvembie 13:23, 23 September 2009 (EDT)

Also - I want to show how it is easy to start a wiki, much like it is to make edits, but it is hard to have a wiki community. A wiki is only as strong as it's community. Best, MarkDilley

Please help develop WikiIndex policy

Hi, I'm coming to you as one of the few (currently) active admins.
Following the recent incidents surrounding the RationalWiki article, I have come to the conclusion that we need a set of really explicit policies and guidelines. I don't like this, but it's necessary. I have started work on Wikiindex:Policies_and_Guidelines and I would appreciate your input.
What I don't (yet) have is method. Not sure what should go on the talk page and what shouldn't. -- Felix Pleşoianu | talk 04:12, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

DiabloWiki

Regarding DiabloWiki_(English): It's pretty well described in the article. The wiki does not need two entries, so I have just taken the statistics and added them as one. Just a matter of listing most popular articles in chronological order and doing the regular wikiFactor routine on it. Same on "real articles", just adding them. I'm Leord over there if you want to leave a message or have questions. --86.160.174.196 11:24, 5 October 2009 (EDT)

Ah, thanks! It makes sense now. For some reason, when I added them before, it didn't match the total. It may have been my mistake. --MarvelZuvembie 15:17, 5 October 2009 (EDT)

No problemo :) Well, they have probably grown since then, but that's about it, or you need a new calculator ;) --Leord 06:21, 7 October 2009 (EDT)

I blame Microsoft. ;-) --MarvelZuvembie 14:20, 7 October 2009 (EDT)

Strike out or delete

Hi MarvelZuvembie,

what do you think about deleting done wikis from the list?[3] Regards --Wolf | talk 03:22, 8 October 2009 (EDT)
