Forum:Bach and Demi's Special Talk page

We use our talk pages so much, we're starting a page so we can keep rack of convos easier >.< instead of bouncing back and forth, if you aren't demi or bach, you shouldn't be editing here.....

If you see this and want to help with the things that need to be done, message myself or Demi, also yes in general this is our talk page, but we use it to discuss wiki matters, so if you have something to add, or ask us, it's ok if you edit this, just please only do that for things relevant to both of us and/or the wiki. Using this to say hi or talk about the weather isn't appropriate >.<

Ideas/things to Do
Sometimes our talks lead to ideas that should be put into place, this is to list them and cross them out as we do them, so we don't forget....

Or note who we assign them to obviously >.< and if anyone finds this, and wants to help, message me or demi


 * 1) Deal with/talk about the newspaper situation
 * 2) Make a page with two parts one part for NPC's, who they are, what they do and who can rp them (alexander, heinrich and the 3 soon to be new assistant directors at camp, see Brock, who rbs/admins/crats will choose one of them to help rp, but not all 3, so a small group will be assigned to each) and another area that has all the characters that though they are rp'd by one person, if that person leaves they remain property of the wiki and change ownership (bc lts, faction leaders, oracles)
 * 3) Put someone in charge of Adopt a Newb keeping it up to date and getting some users to help them
 * 4) Go through and make sure any shared characters (that means full on shared ownership between more than one user, not just that someone has permission to help rp a character) have the Category:Shared Character category
 * 5) Keep an eye on Camp Half-Blood Role Playing Wiki:Duplicate images
 * 6) Assign a helper or rollback to keep the Official Wiki Helpers up to date
 * 7) Create templates for all the Category:Power Sets like Template:Aeolus Powers
 * 8) Update all the Category:God talk templates to the Template:Bach Word Bubble 2.1
 * 9) We have plenty of places that there are comprehensive lists of cabin gods, but we should make a page to go along with the BC (or for people who are making their character a nymph/huntress/etc that the god parent doesn't matter) for non-cabin gods
 * 10) Go through claims which have been claimed over a year ago and go over the history to see if it corresponds with the criteria we have now.
 * 11) Make a page for help with learning to check claims, a question area like the help forum but just for claim questions, a pointers area for giving advice on checking claims, an area to keep track of the helper quiz and who's taken it

On-going stuff

 * 1) Word Bubble Overhaul Sign Up
 * 2) Claiming Test (sends the answers to a tab/page on the Wiki Google Projects Document thingie >.<)
 * 3) Dead is in charge of Keeping the Counsellor List up to date (22-Nov)
 * 4) Assigned Brockles to keeping Forum:Animal Nymphs 101 up to date regularly
 * 5) Update the List:Erotiads of the Wiki page (Evil volunteered to work on it a bit 24-Dec 2013)
 * 6) Some day maybe have someone update all the Category:Gods, etc pages, coding, information, add more pages for gods/goddesses represented on the wiki, as well as adding a special category to go with the Template:God Page showing that it is an informational page only and not a roleplay page (Gruff Helping)

25-28 February
Alright :)) Also, it seems we've just lost yet another trusted user. Dark just left a blog about his leaving the wiki.


 * - Demi 06:09, February 25, 2014 (UTC)

Yea someone told me, can't remember who now. Hey have you heard back from Nessie (orbiting stars) yet about chat mod? Cuz if she still wants to step down, that's two open chat mod spots. And I think Gruff wants to work up to Rollback soon, which would make 3 open chat mod spots if he gets rollback


 * ~ Bach 17:08, February 26, 2014 (UTC)

ok pretty sure I have the admin training thingie all set up (even with the fixing that alias, dark and riri left cuz originally I had them on there >.<) http://bachs-epic-thinking-zone.wikia.com/wiki/Admin_Team_Training_Program everything except figuring out what prizes to give when and the training manual, which is set up but not filled in yet http://bachs-epic-thinking-zone.wikia.com/wiki/Admin_Team_Training_Program/Training_Manual (obviously still a wip cuz it's not on our wiki yet)

Also with an open chat mod spot, I was thinking, with Nessie in the American/Canadian time zone, and Gruff in the British/European time zone, we should try to fill the third spot with someone in the Asian/Australian Time zone area. I was thinking maybe Gyps, but I don't know if she'd want it, or if she's even on chat like she used to be.


 * ~ Bach 17:32, February 26, 2014 (UTC)

I would like to fill the spot with Raid, if possible. And Gyps is almost never on chat.


 * – Slay 17:53, February 26, 2014 (UTC)

Raid is in the American time zone though, plus Gyps is like 15 hours ahead of you, so I don't think you're on chat the times she is to really know that. We really need someone in the Asian/Australian time zones, as they are generally going to be on chat, when people in America are sleeping. Like Flame sees Gyps on chat, but only if he gets on chat around 4am his time (which is also your time zone Slay)


 * ~ Bach 17:59, February 26, 2014 (UTC)

First, nope, Orbit hasn't replied to me yet. Then, as of yet, I don't have any candidates in mind for chat mod but I'll stay around in chat a day or two (maybe over the weekend) and see who's a possible candidate for chat mod.


 * - Demi 10:21, February 27, 2014 (UTC)

We should probably set a time frame for Nessie? Like if we don't hear from her by such and such a date we assume what she said to me still stands and demote her? If she gets pissy after that it's her own fault, considering the last any of us heard was that she wanted to step down. And if/once she is demoted, I think at that point Raid might be a good candidate to replace her for the American/Canada/South American time zones.

And yea thanks Demi, figure you're 12 hours ahead of me and slay so you have the best shot of seeing who's active in those chat times.


 * ~ Bach 17:32, February 27, 2014 (UTC)

I was thinking, when doing thorough cabin counts (like not just looking at the member list and counting, but going through each character and making sure it's in the appropriate section and such), wouldn't it be easier if we also listed the owner on the member list somehow? Cuz otherwise, first we have to open each character page to see the owner (for ones we don't actually remember off the top of our heads) and then check the user against the user/char forum lists to see what their status is...... Just a thought


 * ~ Bach 01:43, February 28, 2014 (UTC)

You mean like add in the users' names in parentheses beside their characters?


 * - Demi 10:54, February 28, 2014 (UTC)

Oh also, I've been meaning to ask for some time now. How do you change a user's category without having to create a new one?


 * - Demi 11:07, February 28, 2014 (UTC)

Yea, or we could do, I think there's a way to make the link say something different when you hover over it, like how people do in sigs, I just can't remember how to do it off the top of my head. So instead of clicking on the link to see who owns the character, you'd just hover the cursor over it. Figured that would be quicker than having to go to each character, but it wouldn't look sloppy either.

You can't rename categories unfortunately, but when you need that done just ask me, cuz I can just use AWB and change them all with my bot account quicker than doing it by hand.


 * ~ Bach 12:33, February 28, 2014 (UTC)

I think Hyu knows how to change the text when a mouse pointer hovers over a link. Want me to ask him? Then, User:Xiang Hyuga renamed his account to User:HarleyQuinn'sChild. :) Oh also, for Orbit, how does giving her until the 7th of March sound?


 * - Demi 12:43, February 28, 2014 (UTC)

@Links/hovering/hyu - Sure, cuz I think that if we had it so that the owner shows when hovring it'll look better and not clutter the page with even more information. So like when hovering it should say "Owned by: Blah Blah" @Xiang/Harley - Yea Wind mentioned that last night, he also said something about that after Xiang renamed his account to Harleyblahblah that he created another account with Xiang in the name again and was using that as well, but I couldn't find any record of another account with Xiang in the name on our wiki @Nessie/Deadline - Yea the 7th sounds fine On another note:
 * 1) I should have letters K thru Z done today for the user/char forum
 * 2) I am working on planning char page version 9 and wb version 3 already >.<
 * 3) I want to have the Admin Training program and the Contests revamped schedule rolled out by April 1st for the wiki's 3rd year anniversary.
 * 4) I was thinking of setting up the adopt a newb list, like I set up the lists for the admin team training program, what do you think? http://bachs-epic-thinking-zone.wikia.com/wiki/Admin_Team_Training_Program I don't mean the tabber bit, I mean like how the table is formatted, I just feel like it looks easier to read and is less cumbersome (especially with people who adopt a lot and have lots or prizes and past newbs)
