Forum:SH Archive/Wiki feature requests

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

JohnQ, one of Wikia's developers, contacted me asking if there were any wiki features (for example a wiki-integrated phpBB forum, or a brand new article rating system) I'd like to see on Wikia in the future. I suggested we ask the community for a little feedback. So here we are: What wiki features or tools would you like to see? Don't be afraid to reply&mdash;if you have an idea for any new feature or tool, please tell us! --Imp 10:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * My watchlist telling me when people move or delete articles I'm watching. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 20:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * A proxy checker hosted by Wikia so I don't have to hunt for a working 3rd-party one. -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(TINC) 20:57, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I have a bunch of requests, many of which are probably built into the latest version of MediaWiki anyway:
 * They promised us a "block anonymous users only" option a while back, but I haven't seen it yet.
 * We also asked for page move restrictions, but we've heard nothing about it for some time: it would be nice to see some movement on our request, even if it's to say "We won't do that."
 * Several vandals have bypassed the spam blacklist and the captcha code by typing http:// instead of http:// to link to offsite images: this security hole should be plugged. Actually, I'm not sure why we even have links to offsite images appear as inline images rather than links.  Wikipedia doesn't do that, to avoid vandalism.
 * It would be nice to have the captcha code applied to page-blanking.
 * Ideally, I'd like to see as many of these security/anti-spam/anti-vandalism measures customizable from Wikia to Wikia, but I realize that'd probably be a nightmare to code, so I won't be surprised not to see it. 8) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:36, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I would like to see a user account creation log, like Wikipedia has. --Imp 15:52, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It'd be for every wiki on Wikia, though, wouldn't it? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:31, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point. However, how about a log of all accounts created through specifically the Wookieepedia registration page? --Imp 14:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if this is handled Wikia-side or not, but I'd like to be able to give reasons for admin rollbacks. jSarek 16:07, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Another thing I thought of which doesn't have to to with security/vandalism/admin stuff: Template messages/Talk namespace and similar utility pages are automatically added to a lot of categories due to the templates included. It might be nice to have a tag which supresses this, and adds a page only to those categories explicitly specified. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 17:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd like to get the German interwiki link working, and the rating system would be nice, since we're trying to start that here anyways. 02:29, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The German interwiki link is working, actually. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:31, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. It was still going to their old site for me last week. I guess somebody finally fixed it. 02:44, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
