== Questions about this website... ==

 

Greetings,

 

I am expanding the information on my 'Nationstates' history onto this website though for my rugby league page (PopularFreedom Rugby League) one of your admins noted it was probably best if I put that elsewhere.

Also, what sites might you recommend?  I currently have a geocities website for my nation but I liked the whole wiki idea for it too.

== [[Bulbapedia]] database error ==

I am writing to you about a wiki i have been trying access for a few days, BULBApedia. It seems anytime you try and access the wiki all i get is:

 

 

 

I was wondering if someone can fix this?

== make a main page for a wiki ==

 

i've built a wikipedia named Nepwiki and i want it to have a main page for itself.

But i'm having problems in making one.

Can you please suggest things i have to do to make a main page.

Thank you

 

== Conservapedia, RationalWiki etc ==

Is there nothing for me to do here?

Excellent. Good show, people!

== New category suggested:  Hate Groups ==

 

For groups like Metapedia or Conservapedia. --[[User:Gulik|Gulik]] 21:19, 28 November 2008 (EST)

:I don't think "hate groups" would be the proper name for those wikis (although they have strong elements of hate). --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] 12:40, 2 December 2008 (EST)

== What about foreign language wikis? ==

 

What do we do about articles where we can't monitor the content because it's in a foreign language?  We need some kind of disclamer. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 08:01, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:On a related note, should we attempt to wikilink the "language speakers" categories to the "wiki language" categories and vice versa? I'm sure people can figure it out on their own, but maybe it would help prompt non-English speakers to look at articles in the languages they speak. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 14:51, 3 December 2008 (EST)

== some wiki seem to be blocked ==

 

 

 

After filling in some details and hitting "save", I expected WikiIndex to save and publish my rough draft of information about that wiki.

 

Alas, instead I got this error message:

(I've added spaces to mangle the above URLs, since otherwise the spam filter blocks my attempt to talk about them).

 

Is this the best place to whine and complain about our local WikiIndex spam filter? [[AntiSpamMeasures]] seems to be about discussing AntiSpam measures on *other* wiki.

:Well, WikiIndex is an index for ''all'' wikis, including those about porn. As long as the descriptions do not actually contain adult content, such entries are fine, in my opinion. Though [[Pornopedia|this one]]'s logo is really stretching it. --[[User:Koveras|Koveras]] 12:21, 14 May 2009 (EDT)

::::Sorry, I didn't realise it was deleted because of a TOS violation. Please keep in mind that this logo is absolutely not explicit, actually you don't even see a nipple in this picture. In Germany we have probably one of the highest standards when it comes to the protection of minors, and Pornopedia is meeting all required criterias by not providing any offensive image material. Please keep also in mind that the mother of all wikis, Wikipedia, has way more actual porn than we have, like: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DoublePenetration.svg this] or [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ejaculation_educational_ani_short.gif that one]. And no offense, but maybe it would be interesting to hear another opinion of a second admin, maybe one who doesn't [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Talk:Pornopedia&diff=66177&oldid=64894 prefer vandalism to Pornopedia]. Cheers, --[[User:Till Kraemer|Till Kraemer]] 05:03, 24 May 2009 (EDT)

You don't see a nipple but it's obvious that the couple are having sex from behind. Some people are tolerant about that but others find it distressing.  It's hard to find a compromise that satisfies everybody from every culture and all parts of the English speaking world.  I feel since the majority wants to include wikis like Pornpedia allowing information about Pornpedia without actual images is fairly reasonable.  I feel [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Pornopedia&oldid=66179 this revision] was unreasonable as users clicking onto that image came straight to the wiki with yet more images that they may not want to see.  A link to a wiki like that should at least be clearly marked so users don't click onto it unless they want to look at porn. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 07:06, 25 May 2009 (EDT)

:FYI, unless I'm mistaken, you two are both from Germany.

:As for the issue of allowing pornographic images, it's important to remember that while Wikipedia isn't censored, this isn't Wikipedia. Personally, I'm in favor of a little self-censorship. I don't think that the logo is absolutely necessary to know what the site is about. But I'd like to hear other opinions as well. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 20:48, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

[http://liberapedia.wikia.com/wiki/User:Proxima_Centauri I'm British], [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Proxima_Centauri I'm British] here too but we're both from Europe. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 01:37, 27 May 2009 (EDT)

:Oops, my mistake! I saw the "Advanced German Speaker" tag and mistook it for a "Native German speaker" tag. Still, I imagine that you would not want to comment on what is banned in American states, as Mr. Kraemer suggests. But perhaps he was referring to nation-states. ;) --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 17:18, 27 May 2009 (EDT)

 

:Her actions are clearly besides the point of this wiki. On [[Wikipedia]], this is informally known as "vanity edits". Ms. Maritonie definitely needs to be advised about the purpose of this wiki project and how she shouldn't abuse this site to create a shrine to herself. --[[User:Koveras|Koveras]] 13:06, 11 June 2009 (EDT)

== Ingenious spam ==

 

[http://www.printhouse.co.uk/ PrintHouse Corporation] made their spam [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=PrintHouse_Corporation&oldid=66862 look like a wiki] so I've put my regular [[PrintHouse Corporation|anti spam stuff]] onto the page and protected it, I won't be bisased in their favour just because they're British.  If I've made a mistake and they're an unusual type of wiki please undo what I've done. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 11:31, 18 June 2009 (EDT)

 

 

1. It seems brutally disproportionate to mention cyberbullying in a WikiIndex article when the incident concerned only one or two users and had little lasting impact on the RW community.  I see no similar comments to this in other WikiIndex articles.

 

2. The "alleged cyberbullying" took place at RationalWikiWiki, not RationalWiki, and the alleged victim was Proxima Centauri herself.  She was invited repeatedly to discuss her complaint in the proper place at RWW, but declined to do so, & is clearly using a WikiIndex as a platform to pursue this grudge instead.

 

3. As if this wasn't dubious enough, she has locked the article to prevent others from removing this.  On most wikis this sort of thing is regarded as an abuse of administrative privileges.

 

4. The "alleged cyberbullying" involved only identifying Proxima Centauri with a previous account she had used at RationalWiki, which might or might not have been in her own real name.  If, as she has claimed at RationalWiki, there is a genuine privacy issue surrounding this, it does not seem rational to draw further attention to it at other sites.

 

I revealed something because I felt it necessary to deal with a crisis at Liberapedia but I didn't want it splashed around all over the place.  And I don't know how obsessive some trolls were to track that down. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 12:11, 28 June 2009 (EDT)

== Admin abuse by Proxima Centauri ==

 

She claims that RationalWikiWiki revealed her real name, and she attempted to insert this accusation into the RationalWiki article. She locked the article to keep her accusation there even after several people tried to remove it, or make it more neutral. See the [[Category talk:Active administrators of this wiki#Request for admin intervention|section above]]. She is using this wiki as a platform for her revenge ([http://rationalwikiwiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leaving_and_never_coming_back&diff=prev&oldid=10804 see this edit]).

::"protected "Talk:RationalWiki" (repeated trolling and harassment. If someone else had been harassed the way I've been I'd probably have blocked the culprits a fortnight ago."  PC should not be a sysop, she is a power hungry concern troll with a very personal agenda she is not afraid to use her "power" here to enforce.  Someone who cares really needs to look into this. I not that [[liberapedia]], one of her pet projects that she keeps trying to whitewash at [[rationalwiki]], is protected as of now.  Why? [[User:Huw Powell|Huw Powell]] 06:38, 12 July 2009 (EDT)

== No "undo" feature to revert to earlier version? ==

 

Some vandals seem to have a problem with Proxima Centauri and choose to wage that battle on [[Dan_Dascalescu's_Wiki]] (in addition to [[Community Portal]]). I know I can copy/paste the contents of the oldest sane version, but it would be nice to enable that handy "Undo" link. -- [[User:Dandv|dandv]] 05:28, 24 August 2009 (EDT)

 

== Blacklist ==
