| − | ==Announcements==
| + | This is ''your'' CTY website. It's yours. A quick intro: |
| − | | |
| − | Please obey all general [[Help:Editing|editing procedures]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Everyone, look at [[RealCTY:Alumni Association]] for more details on said proposed alumni association (which was never actually said).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, everybody should know that the NewNuma video came out. See it right [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gg5LOd_Zus here], right now!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===End-of-Summer Announcement===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hey all!
| |
| − | | |
| − | School has started for pretty much all of the RealCTY community. Therefore, since everyone has less time on their hands, I would like to request that nobody make any large-scale changes to the site. Please continue editing, but try to keep new categories and the such to a minimum. Also, when making new pages, make sure first that it would not be better off in the Hall of Fame/Shame or Lexicon. If it doesn't seem to fit into a specific category (i.e., a non-site category), it probably belongs somewhere else. Stubs should be put in the Lexicon under the correct site and in alphabetical order, instead of being made into new pages.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Have a great year, everyone!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===More on Categories===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Try to keep the categories at the bottom of the page to keep things organized.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Titles===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Don't italicize titles of things (or put them in quotes). If some things get grammatificated title-wise, then we need to search every page for every title and do the same; I tried this earlier, and realized that. It's probably better just to link to titles (after all, all titles here are CTY-relevant).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Header of the Day===
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you haven't noticed, I take great pleasure in changing the header of this page. So, instead of changing at midnight each day, I'm trying to get a "Quote of the Day" feature added. If you have any headers you would like to have possibly appear, put it on the Talk page. Make sure it starts with "From RealCTY," unless the point is that it doesn't.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Security===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Editing, creating pages, etc. has been limited to logged-in users. This makes it easier to warn and track users who have vandalized pages, have made formatting errors, etc. Sorry for any inconveniences caused by this, but you ought to make accounts anyway. Yaaaay for accounts!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Wiki Style Update===
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Bolding====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Pages look nicer if you place the title at the beginning of the first sentence, and bold it by using <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki> around it. This is similar to how Wikipedia formats things, and it looks nice, so it seems like the thing that we should do to. This formatting change is now part of the not-really-official site format.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Links====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Unlike Wikipedia, this site is relatively small, so linking is not necessary. However, if you like adding links (which is great), try to keep only one link to each page in any one article (e.g., if Lancaster is mentioned twice, only link to the site page once).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===New Admins!===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Based on the contributional history of some individuals in the RealCTY community, and the fact that most of the community will have to face the upcoming start of school (which directly affects my ability to be here every waking moment), I have decided to appoint three new admins: Users [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]], [[User:JW|JW]], and [[User:Sammka|Sammka]] have been given sysop rights. This basically means that the three of you may now delete pages and ban users.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I don't ask any of you to devote any exorbitant amount of time to the site. However, I do ask that, whenever you do have the time, check in on things to delete spam, relocated poorly placed pages, etc. Basically, follow these general guidelines:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * If redirect pages seem unnecessary (e.g., Egyptian rat Screw vs. Egyptian Rat Screw), delete the redirect page, and change the links on the site that lead to that page to the actual page.
| |
| − | * If a page is poorly named, move it to a new title, and then delete the old page, except in the cases where redirect pages would be useful (again, different spellings of ERS, etc.). Again, manually alter links on other pages.
| |
| − | * If pages are uncategorized, place them in all applicable categories; check a similar page for an example. Only articles about people (userpage or otherwise) should remain uncategorized.
| |
| − | * If stubs are created, either:
| |
| − | ** move them into the Lexicon; or
| |
| − | ** merge them with the proper page, or merge several stubs into a page series (e.g., "Places:" or games relevant to the [[Cult of Godzilla]]).
| |
| − | * Check the [[RealCTY:Policy]] page for general guidelines on banning users; please place the info on non-porn bannages on the [[RealCTY:Community Portal]] page.
| |
| − | * Reformat things that need reformatting (e.g., alphabetizing the Lexicon, fixing "br" tags when unnecessary or improperly used, etc.).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Otherwise, use your own judgment; it's been good so far.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If any of you would really rather not be an admin, please tell me. If anybody has any reasons why they think these people shouldn't be admins, please tell me. If anyone else would like to be an admin, please tell me. Of course, feel free to talk to me about nothing; that would make me equally (if not more) happy.
