[edit] Image Sizes
Heya Gravewit, I've been uploading a few pictures at the site (and plan to upload a lot more), however, I'm not sure what file size would be optimal for the server. Right now, I've been trying to keep them less than 100kb (more like less than 80kb). Is there a standard file size range? --TheSpectator 17:57, 26 March 2006 (CST)
- Well, I'd say, as small as they can be and still be totally useful. We're totally fine for disk space, so I wouldn't worry about it much. Upload a couple different versions of something, and we'll have a look. Gravewit 03:36, 27 March 2006 (CST)
- A few of the city pictures, like Anvil, Chorrol, and Bruma are around 100 kb each. I have the originals still and I can certainly resize them if they're too big. --TheSpectator 07:40, 28 March 2006 (CST)
[edit] Info. from the Guide
I am wondering whether or not using info from the game guide is considered copyright infringment. My thinking is that, since all the info can be obtained from the game, it wouldn't be. I just want to make sure. --Panda 21:52, 27 March 2006 (CST)
- Well, it goes like this: don't copy verbatim from any other source without permission. If it's information that is readily accessible inside the game, then there can't be any copyright issues in us telling people about it. Gravewit 11:44, 28 March 2006 (CST)
[edit] Categories missing articles?
Heya Gravewit, I noticed that all the category pages are missing the articles that are part of them. Is it just my system/internet config or is it something else? User:TheSpectator 22:17, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
- Woah, weird. I'll re-run the update script. This must be from when I upgraded to the latest stable mediawiki. Gravewit 09:57, 12 April 2006 (CDT)
[edit] Category page editing weirdness
Hi, here are some more details on the aforementioned PHP error. I've noticed that I get the error when I try to edit pages in the Category namespace while logged in. The error is
- Fatal error: Call to undefined method Article::openShowCategory() in /usr/home/oblivion/public_html/includes/EditPage.php on line 1130
It doesn't occur if I am not logged in (the edit page comes up okay). Pages in the Category_talk namespace (and other namespaces) don't have this problem. clunk 04:09, 19 April 2006 (CDT)
I also experienced this problem, though while logged in. -- Montag 00:22, 21 April 2006 (CDT)
[edit] Font Size
I noticed the font size is slightly larger, or has been changed to something else that is slightly larger, which doesn't look as good, in my opinion, and also takes up more space. Clunkit showed me how to change my monobook.css personally so the size is back to normal, though I think it'd be good to have it back to "normal" for everyone else as well, ala GuildWiki.

[edit] Uploading Images
Thanks for fixing the categories and other stuff, though I noticed another error when clicking on "Upload File":
The upload directory (/usr/home/oblivion/public_html/images) is not writable by the webserver.

- Doh. Sorry, fixed now. Gravewit 17:09, 6 May 2006 (CDT)
- Heh, sorry to bug you again, though the Upload File page works, actually uploading does not now. I get this error when actually trying to upload a file:
Internal error
Could not copy file "/var/tmp/phpMFzOBc" to "/usr/home/oblivion/public_html/images/1/1f/Anutwyll.jpg".
TheSpectator 21:42, 6 May 2006 (CDT)
- Hmm, I just re-ran the command, maybe it didn't go recursively before. It should be good now, I just tested it with a new image. Gravewit 10:40, 7 May 2006 (CDT)
[edit] Thanks for fixing Categories!
Forgot to properly thank you. Thanks a bunch for fixing up the category issues! // Montag –t –c 00:09, 7 May 2006 (CDT)
[edit] French Version ?
Surfing google recently, I noticed that there were no really useful oblivion websites in french. I want to do something about this as oblivion is really a great game, but my budget and technical skills are quite limited. I figured the easiest way to do it was a wiki like this one. I'm now wondering if we could join forces ? ( maybe opening a french section here, or exchange links...). By the way, is it legal for me to copy text here and translate it, and then publish it ?
[edit] Broken E-mail Verification?
I think the e-mail verification thing is broken, as some people and myself haven't gotten any e-mail verifications. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, --TheSpectator 03:01, 31 May 2006 (CDT)
- Awesome, works fine! Thanks for the fix Gravewit! --TheSpectator 02:14, 9 June 2006 (CDT)
[edit] Firefox Search Code
I noticed on your blog you wanted a guildwiki Firefox search plug-in made. Though it was already made I thought I'd leave you the code for an Obliviowiki search plug-in I made so that if, in the future, any other wiki's were launched you could just replace the beginning of the URL and the name.
<search version="7.1" name="OblivioWiki" description="Search http://oblivion.gamewikis.org" action="http://oblivion.gamewikis.org/wiki/Special:Search" searchForm="http://oblivion.gamewikis.org" method="GET"> <input name="sourceid" value="Mozilla-search"> <input name="search" user=""> <interpret resultListStart="Search results" resultItemEnd="Note: unsuccessful searches"> </search> <browser update="http://mycroft.mozdev.org/update.php/id0/obliviwiki.src" updateIcon="http://mycroft.mozdev.org/update.php/id0/obliviwiki.png" updateCheckDays="7">
Version- this should start with 1.0, change as needed.
Name- The name displayed for the plug-in.
Description- What it does.
Action-Part of the URL for a blank search, change "http://oblivion.gamewikis.org" to whatever. Leave "/wiki/Special:Search"
SearchForm- The main page URL.
Skip down to the browser update portion, change the obliviwiki.src at the end to what you plan on naming the file followed by the .src extension.
Now make a 16x16 pixel .png logo to appear in the search box. Replace obliviwiki.png with this images file name.
Finally copy the entire code into notepad and click save. Choose save as type: All Files then enter the .src filename used above. Be sure to put .src and the end of the file name (For example: obliviowiki.src). Now head for mycroft.mozdev.org and upload your .src and .png files and fill out a few forms.
That's all there is too it. It sounds so much harder than it actually is. If your worried it wont work you can paste your code here and simulate a few searches on it.
*Note: This code will only work for a wiki search. --dpotts 01:10, 10 July 2006 (CDT)
