== Chatroom and Forum ==
{{dablink|Index of archives: [[/archive1|1]]}}
Hi Porplemontage. Anyways, are a forum and a chatroom going to be implemented when things are all sorted out? --[[User:Gamefreak75|Gamefreak75]]
----
:Yeah, they can be. Is there a preferred chat channel to connect to or do we need to create one? --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] 22:14, 14 September 2010 (EDT)
::Like how MarioWiki connects directly to #mwikitalk? I say just create one on DarkMyst titled something like #pikchat or another related name. --[[User:Gamefreak75|Gamefreak75]]
:::In that case, the wiki admins can create the channel and then give me the info to connect to it. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] 22:25, 14 September 2010 (EDT)
::::Doesn't [[Pikmin:Chatroom]] work?  We were using the creator's libraries which could have moved, so it may not: instead of update right now, could you install the AddHTML extension to avoid extra JavaScript?  Then upload the needed files from [http://www.pjirc.com/downloads.php the latest version].


::::Alternatively, if the server has Perl support, [http://cgiirc.org this] is a lot faster than any Java client. If you do this, it looks like you'll need room details - #pikipedia@irc.darkmyst.org - and will probably have to set it up off the wiki. [[User:Greenpickle|Greenpickle]]
==Javascript woes==
Hey. There have been a few difficulties with [[MediaWiki:Common.js|our scripts]] lately. Mostly in the sense of scripts that used to be running weren't running any more. I changed some things, and now almost everything is up, except for the [[MediaWiki:PikipediaUpload.js]] script. From the little that I can gather, Common.js isn't even running on [[Special:Upload]]. What can you tell me about this? &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 09:09, 6 November 2016 (EST)
:Fixed it! --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]) 11:48, 6 November 2016 (EST)
::Looks like every script is working perfectly. Thank you so much! &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 12:02, 6 November 2016 (EST)


::::Oh, missed the forum mention.  There'll be the old DPL forum once it's moved, but we were considering a separate cross-wiki forum at forum.pikminwiki.com, IIRC.  phpBB is good.
== Question ==


::::Finally, could you change the wiki's name to Pikipedia? Whatever will affect SITENAME and page titles.  I'd assume LocalSettings.php. [[User:Greenpickle|Greenpickle]]
Im curious what the first edit on this Wiki was. On what page was it? TabuuandPeach [[File:MarchShroomCertificateA.jpg|40px]] 18:28, 24 November 2016 (EST)


::::Oh, and could we have MultiUpload, please? I've found it useful in the past and realised we don't have it when I saw the link on special:upload. [[User:Greenpickle|Greenpickle]]
:Well, I guess [http://www.pikminwiki.com/index.php?oldid=10 this] was the first non-bot edit. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]) 22:34, 24 November 2016 (EST)


::::Hey, why are project (at least) links case-sensitive for the first letter now?  Is that something you can turn off, or is it enable and un-disable-able in newer MW versions? [[User:Greenpickle|Greenpickle]]
== Mobile captcha problems ==
Hey. A user found a problem while editing the wiki under mobile: [https://twitter.com/KingCowfish/status/812699726848159745 link]. Basically, when trying to save, the wiki asks for a "confirmation code" (captcha, I'm guessing?) but there's no such thing anywhere.


We could do PJIRC or use web chat [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WebChat like this]. MultiUpload is not compatible. Project titles are Pikipedia:X. I don't understand how Pikmin:X makes any sense since it implies that those articles are about Pikmin when they are actually about the wiki. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] 16:02, 15 September 2010 (EDT)
It doesn't look like this is anon-user triggered, since anonymous users can't even edit the wiki under mobile. That's also another thing &ndash; since under desktop, users can edit without an account, why can't they under mobile? If you could make anons able to edit under mobile, that'd be great, but if not, don't sweat it. I think it's more important to have the code problem solved. Me and [[User:Marty|Marty]] also tried to edit using smartphones, but we were never asked for such a code, so maybe this only applies to [[Special:ListGroupRights|non-autoconfirmed users]].


:Yeah, go on, Mibbit's good, I just didn't consider it since it's external. Make a note here once it's up and I'll delete the old one, remove the javascript and move the help page.  Project pages: ah, I see; I just assumed 'Pikmin' remained the project namespace as it was at Wikia: so those pages are in the main namespace now, which explains the case sensitivity.  I'll have to move them all and leave redirects behind. [[User:Greenpickle|Greenpickle]]
Oh, and a final thing. Do you mind if I send the older conversations here into an archive subpage? Your talk page is getting pretty heavy! &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:23, 27 December 2016 (EST)


:The automated welcome is bad because it doesn't substitute the welcome template, it's impersonal (...more accurately as a contrast, has no potential to be personal), and it doesn't discriminate (could welcome a vandal; obviously not the biggest problem, but...).  Could you disable it?  I couldn't find anything in its documentation to indicate how you would do that beyond uninstalling it. [[User:Greenpickle|Greenpickle]]
:Ok yeah, it looks like the captcha extension and mobile extension aren't playing well together. You're correct, autoconfirmed users would skip it, but now I've made it so all users skip it. We do need the captcha for anons though, so we can't enable mobile anon editing. Archive away! --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]) 15:43, 27 December 2016 (EST)


::Hmm, Porplemontage, is it possible to implement a forum like the Mario Wiki one? That way, things will be much more organized. --[[User:Gamefreak75|Gamefreak75]]
::Sounds good. Thanks a million! &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:18, 28 December 2016 (EST)
:::I think everyone agrees a legitimate forum should be added at some point. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] 17:02, 16 September 2010 (EDT)


:Could you add Forum and Forum talk namespaces, please?  That should fix the existing DPL forums.[[User:Greenpickle|Greenpickle]]
== Parse error on Pikmin Fanon ==


The web chat is up, there are some messages to edit the text around it. Namespace added, welcome removed. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] 17:02, 16 September 2010 (EDT)
Hey there Porple. Pikmin Fanon has been unavailable for over 24 hours because of a parse error, which reads:
<pre>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ')' in /home/pikminfa/public_html/LocalSettings.php on line 384</pre> I thought if I gave it time, it would go away on its own, but... Could you resolve this? Thanks. {{User:PikFan23/sig}} 16:58, 29 January 2017 (EST)


:Thanks.  What do you mean, 'messages'?  As in, mediawiki pages, or strings in the code you would have to edit?  I think everything I see is fine as it is, anyway.  Oh, a link to Help:Chat would be useful, though. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
:Fixed it, thanks! --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]) 16:59, 29 January 2017 (EST)

== Unpatrollable uploads ==
Hey. If an image is uploaded, and then a new version is uploaded on top, it'll become impossible to mark the first revision as patrolled. You can find examples on [https://www.pikminwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=90&from=&hidepatrolled=1&limit=500 the recent changes with the farthest filter]. Do you think you can do something about this glitch so that it doesn't happen again? Thanks! &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:06, 14 February 2017 (EST)

:This is a bug that would need to be fixed in MediaWiki core, where we'd get the fix in a future software update. I've reported it [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158114 here] - we'll see what happens! --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]) 15:49, 14 February 2017 (EST)

::Ah! Thought so. One thing though...right now, the recent changes are filled with edits about how this or that revision has been marked patrolled, and all edits also seem to have become unpatrolled now. What...exactly happened? &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 04:01, 15 February 2017 (EST)

:I was just going to give out FTP info for a subdomain and info for a database and let you guys install whatever forum system you want. Should the subdomain be forum.pikminwiki.com, forums.pikminwiki.com, or something else? --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] 15:40, 18 September 2010 (EDT)

Greetings, Porplemontage. I am a Patroller of WiKirby. Currently, I am busy with multiple things there and elsewhere. However, in the near future, I may consider becoming more active around here. I'm familiar with editing wikis, but I know some wikis are quite different from each-other, regarding policies and such. That is why I've come to ask you if there is anything basic I need to know before I edit Pikipedia, and where the best place to get started is. -- [[User:MetaDragon|MetaDragon]] ([[User talk:MetaDragon|talk]]) 20:55, December 3, 2020 (EST)

==Pikmin Fanon CSS==
Hello Porple, I was wondering if you could help me making Pikmin Fanon's layout share a similarity with Pikipedia in that pages are displayed in a smaller rectangular box, while the background is displayed in the columns on either side of the article space. In Pikmin Fanon's current state, the article area runs all the way to the edge of the browser. I wanted to make it more like Pikipedia in order for Pikmin Fanon to look better on higher resolution monitors, like, say an ultrawide monitor.

Javascript woes[edit]

Hey. There have been a few difficulties with our scripts lately. Mostly in the sense of scripts that used to be running weren't running any more. I changed some things, and now almost everything is up, except for the MediaWiki:PikipediaUpload.js script. From the little that I can gather, Common.js isn't even running on Special:Upload. What can you tell me about this? — {EspyoT} 09:09, 6 November 2016 (EST)

Fixed it! --Porplemontage (talk) 11:48, 6 November 2016 (EST)
Looks like every script is working perfectly. Thank you so much! — {EspyoT} 12:02, 6 November 2016 (EST)

Question[edit]

Im curious what the first edit on this Wiki was. On what page was it? TabuuandPeach MarchShroomCertificateA.jpg 18:28, 24 November 2016 (EST)

Well, I guess this was the first non-bot edit. --Porplemontage (talk) 22:34, 24 November 2016 (EST)

Mobile captcha problems[edit]

Hey. A user found a problem while editing the wiki under mobile: link. Basically, when trying to save, the wiki asks for a "confirmation code" (captcha, I'm guessing?) but there's no such thing anywhere.

It doesn't look like this is anon-user triggered, since anonymous users can't even edit the wiki under mobile. That's also another thing – since under desktop, users can edit without an account, why can't they under mobile?
