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) Make a schedule template to put on chat mods user pages, where they fill in what days/general times they were in chat "modding"
 * 2) Deal with/talk about the newspaper situation
 * 3) 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)
 * 4) Put someone in charge of Adopt a Newb keeping it up to date and getting some users to help them
 * 5) Go through the Level 5 and up and Rb and up voting forums, check for any policy related ones and make sure they were added into the appropriate policy and rule areas
 * 6) 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
 * 7) 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
 * 8) Keep an eye on Camp Half-Blood Role Playing Wiki:Duplicate images
 * 9) Assign a helper or rollback to keep the Official Wiki Helpers up to date
 * 10) Create templates for all the Category:Power Sets like Template:Aeolus Powers
 * 11) Refresh/revamp the main page and the templates
 * 12) 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
 * WIP

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 >.<)

Woah, it's been a while since we talked. xD Anyway... Math IM'ed me some time ago, saying she wanted to use George Shelley as a model. The model was formerly Mika's but seeing as Mika's gone (or at least, he doesn't have any characters at the moment, or none that I know of), the model is free for anyone, right? And they don't exactly need to IM Mika anymore, right? Also, Flame hasn't exactly been able to do his share of dept edits in about two weeks. I'm giving him until the 20th until we're forced to auto-demote him, mainly because I wasn't aware of how he wasn't able to do dept edits until today. >.<


 * - Demi 10:29, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

OH yea if the user is gone there doesn't need to be any permission, only if the user is still active, like even if the character is dead or marked as left camp/bc, if the user is still on, then permission should be gotten cuz dead chars could always turn into ghosts (or like with Celinda who was a nymph and I had an story line to bring her back) and char's gone/left/missing/etc can obviously always be easily brought back, so a user only forfeits rights to a model if they leave the wiki. Also, if they leave but the char page remains archived, though no permission is needed it does count towards the whole 1 mode/2 chars policy

As far as flame I have no idea, I didn't know he couldn't do any edits until today >.< if he told me I forgot, I mean, I know back in like, idk before christmas he was busy working on a large paper but that's all, or maybe it was after christmas, idk it was like 2 1 /2 weeks ago.

OH also, I marked a few users on the user/char forum (kookie, angeli, blue and ummm crap someone else that had char spots from User:Mr. goldblatt1021, I noticed that he hits 6 months/user left early February, at which point all the char spots he gave away become null/void, so to give them a heads up (the double edged sword of taking char spots as gifts, they are only valid as long as the user that gave them is a user)


 * ~ Bach 14:40, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

I just realised that User:DeathIsBliss is at 25 days no activity today, but on the user/char page/list/thing she's not marked as semi or officially inactive, I haven't done anything cuz I wanted to check in with you first. If she is going to be marked as gone, she adopted one of my chars, Sasha Taylor, I'd like to take her back and put her back up for adoption, so let me know :) I wasn't sure if you'd messaged her or not, if you haven't maybe we give her an extra few days to respond?


 * ~ Bach 18:18, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

I'll message the user then maybe give Death about a week to respond. If no response is given, I'll mark her as left. Sorry about not being able to keep the user/char forum up to date lately :( Oh, also, since we're adding categories (user who made the claim + who claimed it) to the camp claims, may I do the same for the BC claims?


 * - Demi 09:29, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

Cool, also I meant to tell you last night, Sonofboreas is also on that list of users in the 25 day area but I updated that so, Template:BachDemiTracker, you can see which ones are new, I updated that and the user/char forum, but I never got around to marking characters or messaging users.

And yep, go ahead and do one for BC as well, though I'm not sure if we should do it the same way with the 2nd round of approval. Obviously for Heinrich approval it could be an admin or a faction leader that approves it, but with the approval for factions it's generally whomever holds a leader or lt, and being we already sort after the first round of approvals by faction, I think we really only need to add who approved as Heinrich for the first round.


 * ~ Bach 11:15, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

I can message the users :) I have an entire notepad where all the important messages are typed out so all I have to do is copy/paste xD Also, just so I'm absolutely sure, the only categories we add for BC claims would be the user category of the person who made the claim and the admin team member who approved as Heinrich. That right?


 * - Demi 13:32, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

Correct, where they are already sorted by faction, and obviously the faction leader or lt would have had to have done that, I don't see the point in doing a claimed category for faction, just the Heinrich/admin/first round of approval


 * ~ Bach 14:29, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

Okay :D I've finished with the ones approved for Civitas so far. I'll try to get more in tomorrow. Um, if you have time, could you go over this? Wind declared I didn't post within 7 days but I did so I dunno if he just didn't see the post or what. I've messaged him some hours ago stating that I was able to post before the 7th day ended... now I have no idea if I should do anything else regarding it >.<

According to page history it was 8 days when you posted :/


 * ~ Bach 15:45, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

I messaged User:Blueberrycupcake and asked if she needed official inactive status, as she's almost 13 days with no edits


 * ~ Bach 12:21, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

And User:Blockness >.<


 * ~ Bach 12:26, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

Regarding the challenge... is it really the 5th? :( When I look at this history it says Hydro posted on the 6th. Then, for Blue, I'll see if I can contact her via FB. She's usually online there. Oh, just out of curiosity, what does "NOWYSIWYG" do?


 * - Demi 12:36, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

It's probably the time difference, you have to remember he's like 13 hours behind you, so the times won't say the same, he was posting on the 5th his time, but it was probably the morning of the 6th your time.

It makes sure that it's only edited in source, not visual, cuz spaces were getting added in for some reason.

Also, User:GirlInTheSky has been messaged as well, OH and in like 10 minutes I have some rather cool changes to our tracking template to show you :)


 * ~ Bach 12:45, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

So, I know this is basically just me trying to push it, but... does it really count as a forfeit in my part? I'm really sorry for seeming like such a sore loser :( As for the changes, well, I'm looking forward to it :)


 * - Demi 12:50, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I mean it shows as 8 days, and as camp is in New York, we've always used Eastern Standard Time as a general time for the wiki both in character and out of character, so there's really nothing I can do :/ sorry

How much longer will you be up? I really want you to see the template before you go to bed to get your feedback but >.< Jerry just got like hugely sick, like I had to clean the floor/wall and bedding by the bed and go get him medicine >.< so I was thinking I'd just save what I have now so you see what I have so far
