[edit: Wiki now at MafiaWiki]

Hello all!

I have installed a wiki on mafiascum.net. If you are not familiar with a wiki.... it's basically a web site that everyone can edit.

I've ported over the existing mafiascum.net items, but the detailed stuff like cop variations has not been added. If you are bored and want to advance the theory of mafia, you can go to http://www.mafiascum.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl and add all the informaitn you want to.

If you want more information about wikis look here: http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/wiki
It will also explain how to format stuff. You don't need to know HTML or anything to edit the pages and advance mafia.

With wikis I have often had problems where I thought my changes disappeared, but it was really that my cache was just bringing pu the old page. If this happens, try cleaing your browser cache.

Ages, you ask for a section to put archived games... well the whole point of wikis is that you can do that if you want. It won't take anything from me.

Actually, jeep, I am wondering if it would be possible for there to be an "admin" option on the wiki, so that I could click on a wiki page, it'd give me a thing where I could edit if needed, and then it would take the final version and remake whichever page I was updating. It could also display on the wiki the edited version and the original, so no one's ideas actually get deleted.

Hmm... I could probably put a "publish" option in it if it doesn't exist anywhere. I mean it has to create the HTML already, it's just a matter of sending it to a file, too.

As to the theme... yes, I can figure out how to do that.

As to not deleting idea, well, the site is version controlled. So all old pages are kept until both of these conditions are met:
1) At least X days old (I think 7 right now)
2) Someone manually runs the cleanup option.

Heh, I could probably make phpBB link to our wiki... I'll consider it.

mith: http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse? ... Sheet;css= is where you can look at how to set up a CSS that will make the site more mafialike.

WikiWords have a convention... CamelCase, no spaces OR some tag to make them recognized as WikiWords. I can definitely make wiki tags... I like that better.

No no, only CamelCase is auto linked... all other times you need to surround it with the special tags indicating that it's a WikiWord.

Edit: Oh and usernames.

Why bother using a less suitable medium? Unless you are going to allow someone to edit posts.

It's a shame others do not seem to be signing up. I'm taking a Mafia sabbatical until after my article is published, otherwise I would try it out. I do have a concern with how merges will be handled. I haven't tested out OddMuse to see how simultaneous edits are handled (I know there is a merge capability, but I've never had to use it).

Hmm... the server we are on is notoriously flakey lately, so it might be related to that. If people start getting these regularly, report them, just like the site downtime.

I have updated the wiki and added some code that I hope will catch some spammers. Can someone check to make sure I've reverted all the recent spam?

Next up, updating phpBB.

Yes, I updated the version so that I could add the spam blocker. I'll fix the comments thing, I probably accidently unset it.

The formatting rules shouldn't have changed, unless I missed something in the change log. I'll look again.

And no, you needn't do anything to block them. It's not perfect, but it's supposed to block about 60% of the bots out there.

Will someone please confirm that you cannot edit the wiki? Then set the editor password and confirm that you CAN edit it.

Thanks,

External URL links was noted, I didn't think it mattered. Apparently, I didn't reallow the HTML codes. I'll figure it out.

And I can make a link to unset your password too, I guess, but I don't know that it matters. Also, you can just clear your cookies.

I allow some html now... point me to the pages to demonstrate further errors so I can validate things better.

We are not using UseMod we're using oddmuse. I was playing around with usemod compatability, did I leave it on? We had to update the version and it overwrote the settings once, I may not have got everything put back the way they are supposed to be. I'll figure it out after the move.

Yeah, I haven't turned it back on. Sorry. I'll do that this evening. If you see me on AIM, ping me.

OK, so I've updated the wiki s/w and I think that I have everything set correctly. Mr. Flay will certainly correct me if I'm wrong, but if anyone notices anything, please let me know.
