Official wiki release postponed.

Due to problems with the MediaWiki software that the official SgW wiki runs on, there are delays in the release of the official wiki.

Until this is resolved and the wiki is truly operational, feel free to use the Wikia test wiki, found at http://stargatewars.wikia.com.

When it is time to use the official wiki, all pages from the Wikia test wiki will be imported using my super-funky beaurocrat/sys-op abilities. :D

Thank you.

Crazywolf: Well, we could remedy that problem. It's quite simple to be on the Wikia. Simply write your name in the input create box and you're pretty much on your way. If you need help with the basic structure of how the article should look, please see http://stargatewars.wikia.com/wiki/SgWWiki:Wikify and I do apologise for that Guide to Layout being restricting to what your article can potentially offer.

See, ZPMMaker here loves power. And the policy template that opens the article with the message:

"This page is an official policy on the StargateWars Wikia. It has wide acceptance among editors and is considered a standard that all users should follow. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page."

And ... the template has no place there, for see, the Guide to Layout does NOT have wide acceptance among editors, but is considered the standard all users should follow by ZPMMaker. There have been more promising layouts, initiated by sarcasmsvoice, but as ZPMMaker saw this as weakening his position, he deleted those layouts. Rather than to collaborate and vote on a Guide to Layout, that should ideally be rectified by all editors, ZPMMaker wishes to force his policy and adds the Wikify template to those that don't look like his articles in terms of structure. You don't want to look different, so please follow his standard, or God forbid, he might ba-ba-ba-ban you. ;)

As for what you have seen of it, perhaps ZPMMaker should be grateful it isn't looking like how it was a few months ago. If you wish to refresh your memory, it had the logo that the "official" wiki has and was unorganized with a black background and purple and red text. The current look is a pretty nice contrast to what it was.

And as the "official" wiki is recalled, I'm forced to use the "official" wiki. Why, because I'm banned for raising the Wikia to a higher standard. And I can't contribute the the "BETA" Wikia.

And another concern. The TROA. Does it do any good whatsoever other than give ZPMMaker and his croonies a fake position of power? Hmm, rather than to organize the whole wiki into WikiProjects, ZPMMaker wishes to have a TROA as his puppet to weave his public image. How many members does this exclusive organization have? Two. ZPMMaker and Lord Morlock. Oh how I could just imagine the task it will accomplish.

Please see this as constructive criticism. And so I urge you, members of the community, to take Sergey Brin's words to mind: Don't Be Evil. Work together towards a common goal by consensus decision-making, even if ZPMMaker might disagree. Force a vote whenever you find him dictating the Wikia.

Thank you. (and sorry for using Crazywolf's comment as an excuse to point out the wrongs of this false "god.")

dadigi - I'm on MSN for a lot of time; you're on but usually on "mobile" mode, so I cannot talk to you. Catch me there or PM me here or in-game.

WarEagle - you were banned for repeated vandalism and for being an all-round devious (censored). I am not a power-hungry person; on many occasions I have allowed your contributions to be used instead of what I had established. Back-stabbing me in this manner is only going to serve to have me watching your contributions like a hawk in case you vandalize, so that I may ban you once more.

Actually, there are now three, because someone saw the little link below the main TROA page which says, "if you want to join, register your name here."

I welcome anyone to join the board, as there is a lot of work to be done.
I encourage votes - look at the Main Page talk for discussion about the use of WarEagle's revised version, as well as Image talk:SgWWiki.png for another instance where I have used WarEagle's contributions. Clearly it IS NOT a dictatorship. If you want to argue this further, WarEagle, then do as I said to do - dispute the ban on your own talk page (as is the policy), or message me in game.

I want to launch the wiki. My fellow administrator has decided against it, because of his wishes. Theres not much I can do, if he's keeping his wiki the "offical" one. I suggest that he be directed to this thread so he can inform you of what needs to be done.

Anyone who's been on my wiki in a while would know that I am on an excavation at the moment, but I just realized I forgot to tell forum admin.

Here it is.

I'll be back in April. Sorry guys.

DaDigi, Whitey and Forum - if you register on my wiki I'll make you SysOps (tell me your usernames via a PM here).

Re: Official wiki release postponed.

Hi all.
Sorry for the long-time, no wiki... not even a sign of me!
After I got back from fieldwork (April '07), the family was going through a bit of money issues and I haven't had internet access until now.

That said, I am eager to get the wiki up and going again.

DaDigi, Whitey and Admin - let me know if still interested as the wiki is still online at the url - http://stargatewars.wikia.com

I cannot recall if Admin had an "official" SgW-hosted wiki set up or not... please fill me in on what I have missed.

--Dave.
PS: MSN div2004@hotmail.com is still in use if you want to contact me.
