Wookieepedia:AC/Log/2015 March 21

[20:03:32]  Welcome to Meeting 77. [20:03:43]  Jonathan requested entry to present his thing [20:03:47]  So we'll just go right to that [20:03:58]  Go ahead, Jonathan [20:04:23]  Basically, see what I posted on the meeting page about 20 minutes ago. [20:04:54]  Also, this message I posted on Tope's talk page a while back with a little more detail: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Toprawa_and_Ralltiir#FA.2FGA.2FCA_Main_Page_randomizers [20:05:12]  The proposed Lua module is here: http://masterjonathan.wikia.com/wiki/Module%3ATest [20:05:12]  I'm not going to pretend to understand the technical side behind this [20:05:41]  And an example of it in action, operating on a static copy of WP:FA, is here: http://masterjonathan.wikia.com/wiki/Test_page [20:05:45]  In terms I care about, what does the AC have to do to maintain the list. [20:06:34]  The only difference is that instead of adding links to /Random when an article is done on the Main Page, you would change the template on [{WP:GA]] to a regular link. [20:07:48]  As long as WP:GA is kept up to date, the randomizer requires no special maintenance other than the for articlles that don't belong on the randomizer yet. [20:08:57]  Do we have to modify the list everytime we pass a GA? [20:09:43]  As I understand it, adding a GA to the GA page would require us to wrap it in a template until its been featured on the main page, then we remove the template for the module to use it in the randomiser, correct? [20:09:58]  Cav: Correct. [20:10:12]  That way there's only one list to maintain instead of two. [20:10:17] <SimToprawa> What would this template code look like? [20:10:30] <IFYLOFD> So we wouldn't need the /Random page anymore? [20:10:38] <MasterJonathan> [20:10:51] <MasterJonathan> Floyd: No, the /rnadom page could be deleted. [20:11:00] <IFYLOFD> Interesting [20:11:08] <SimToprawa> And we would have to manually add that code to the GA page upon GA passage and then modify that after it's been on the MP? [20:11:54] <MasterJonathan> Correct, but it's purposely designed to be as similar as possible to a regular link to make it simple. [20:12:36] <SimToprawa> Is that all we would have to do? [20:12:40] <SimToprawa> Any other maintenance? [20:12:50] <MasterJonathan> No, that's it. [20:13:08] <MasterJonathan> The module would automatically pick up all changes to WP:GA. [20:13:13] <SimToprawa> Yeah, I guess [20:13:20] <SimToprawa> I guess it's easier than doing the random page [20:13:33] Would there be any major caching issues? [20:14:07] <MasterJonathan> EJ: No different than the current situation, where the Main Page has to be purged to get a new article. [20:14:17] Okay. [20:14:36] Yeah, this sounds fine with me. [20:14:46] <SirCavalier> What about links on the WP:GA page that do not link to GAs? [20:15:02] <MasterJonathan> Cav: They can also just use. [20:15:31] <SirCavalier> Will is affect the transcluded links from the GA content header? [20:15:37] <SimToprawa> Can't you just position the randomizer to only include the GAs? [20:15:41] I thought you mentioned the start and end comments. [20:16:24] <MasterJonathan> Cav: Like EJ mentioned, two comments would be added above and below the GA list, and the module would only parse between those comments. [20:16:38] <MasterJonathan> So the header would be untouched. [20:16:45] <SimToprawa> That was my questoin [20:16:51] There are a few non-GA links in there, but we could add norandom to those. [20:17:30] Really, it is just the ones in the events section. [20:17:36] <MasterJonathan> Exactly. [20:17:47] <SimToprawa> Oh, right [20:17:50] <SimToprawa> I forgot about those [20:17:54] <SimToprawa> Yeah, that's fine [20:18:25] <SimToprawa> Things in the template will still show up as redirects, etc.? [20:19:05] <MasterJonathan> will behave exactly as a normal link, with the sole exception of being ignored by the Lua module. [20:19:14] <SimToprawa> Ok [20:19:16] <SimToprawa> I'm ok with this [20:19:19] <MasterJonathan> So yes, they should show up as redirects, etc. [20:20:52] <MasterJonathan> Any other issues or concerns? [20:21:14] None from me. [20:21:24] <SirCavalier> Nope [20:21:36] <SimToprawa> Floyd? [20:21:37] <MasterJonathan> Floyd? [20:22:21] <IFYLOFD> Oh hi [20:22:25] <IFYLOFD> Sorry guys [20:22:27] <IFYLOFD> I'm down with this [20:22:40] <SimToprawa> Ok [20:22:45] <SimToprawa> Anything else, Jonathan? [20:22:56] <MasterJonathan> Nope. I can work on getting things set up in the next few days. [20:23:03] <SimToprawa> Cool [20:23:06] <SimToprawa> Ok, back to the meeting. [20:23:21] <SimToprawa> Jonathan, you're technically allowed to observe the meeting without voice, so I'll let you leave when you want [20:23:52] <SimToprawa> First up [20:23:55] <SimToprawa> Things from last meeting [20:24:12] <SimToprawa> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vischera [20:24:18] <SimToprawa> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:AC/Vischera [20:24:43] <SimToprawa> No change, apparently [20:24:49] Kill [20:24:58] <SimToprawa> The site is loading slow for me right now, just a heads up [20:25:13] <SimToprawa> Kill [20:25:14] <IFYLOFD> Hang by the neck until dead [20:25:14] <SirCavalier> Kill [20:25:33] <SimToprawa> Vischera killed [20:25:43] <SimToprawa> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ringoot [20:25:49] <SimToprawa> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:AC/Ringoot [20:26:27] <SimToprawa> No change [20:26:32] Kill [20:26:33] <SimToprawa> ? [20:26:39] <SimToprawa> No change, yeah [20:26:50] <SimToprawa> It's a freaking redlink [20:26:52] <SimToprawa> No one can fix this? [20:26:57] Yeah, no one had the source. [20:26:59] <SirCavalier> No one has the source [20:27:08] <SimToprawa> CC probably has it [20:27:13] <SimToprawa> Want me to try and ask him really quick? [20:27:16] <SirCavalier> Let me check hungry ewok [20:27:22] <SirCavalier> But, yeah, ask CC [20:27:44] <SimToprawa> Question sent [20:27:47] <SirCavalier> Not on hungry ewok [20:27:57] <SimToprawa> I'll give him a chance to answer before we kill this offiically [20:28:00] <SimToprawa> Let's come back to this [20:28:12] <SimToprawa> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ghoel [20:28:20] <SimToprawa> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:AC/Ghoel [20:28:43] <SimToprawa> Really bad lag... [20:29:10] <SimToprawa> No change [20:29:11] <SirCavalier> Guess no one wanted to watch the video and sort it out. [20:29:46] <SirCavalier> Still, if you want to extend, I'll give it a shot. [20:29:49] Kill I guess. [20:30:01] <IFYLOFD> kill [20:30:02] <SimToprawa> If you want us to extend it for you, Cav, fine [20:30:04] <SimToprawa> I'll kill otherwise [20:30:23] <SirCavalier> Yeah, let me take a crack at it. [20:30:28] <SimToprawa> ok [20:30:30] <IFYLOFD> OK then, extend [20:30:31] <SimToprawa> Extend [20:30:36] Okay, I'll vote extend then [20:30:40] <SimToprawa> Ghoel extended [20:30:44] <SimToprawa> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/FEX-M3_nerve_gas_grenade [20:30:46] <SirCavalier> I get tired of killing GAs from inactive users over small things.

Perhaps someone can check the game. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:22, March 14, 2015 (UTC) [20:37:06] <SimToprawa> No one checked it [20:37:11] <SimToprawa> Since no one monitors this article anymore [20:37:17] <SimToprawa> So I say probe to make someone check it [20:38:04] Well, I think I remember there being a Prototype AT-AT in the game, so I think the redlink is probably legitimate. Probe.
