Hello! Thus is the discussion page. Thought it'd be useful to have something of the sort. Just enter your comments or suggestions, but it'd be good to insert a horizontal line (see the edit buttons) before starting a new comment. And you can reply to comments by using a ':' or '::' or ':::' the deeper you go...

Missing Templates

There are missing templates listed at the end of the missing pages list... maybe adding them would help if we want the games infobox to work... --PulkoMandy 15:22, 12 August 2006 (CEST)

Unused Images

Special:Unusedimages Watch out for useless files :) --PulkoMandy 16:18, 13 August 2006 (CEST)

Category "News"

If we start to add the news to own categories we should avoid naming the news article with "News:" as prefix, because in the category listing everything would appear under the letter 'N'. The same problem occurs with programming articles (prefix "Programming:"). Maybe we should remove the prefix from this articles? --Octoate 10:12, 28 August 2006 (CEST)

Uh, good question... Somehow I like these prefixes, and as there are already sorted lists we even don't need the categories at all, but on the other hand you are also right. Don't know... -- Prodatron 13:59, 28 August 2006 (CEST)

I think we should keep the prefixes at least for the news, as the titles of this pages are not terms but small summary like sentences. -- Prodatron 16:49, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

Discussion, Suggestions, Main Page Talk

Now we have:

• Discussion
• Suggestions
• Talk:Main_Page

In the sidebar, "discussion page" is the main page talk, on the main page "discussion" is the discussion page. Maybe we should clean this up a little bit or create some definitions, what to write where? -- Prodatron 22:32, 29 August 2006 (CEST)

8bit Wiki leadership

Just for your motivation, it seems that very soon we are becoming the biggest Wiki project for any 8bit machine ever! :-) Let's beat this left one: [1] and then we are the number 1! Thanx a lot to all for your contributions! An especial "thank you" goes to Gryzor (project initiator), Kanagaroo (hoster) and all the very active persons like CPCLER, Ythcal, etc... (sad, that there is no "contribution top 10" as a "special page"). Did you ever think, that this great project would become SO sucessfull? -- Prodatron 00:59, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

This is bloody amazing!!! Of course in terms of visitors we're wwway behind but in terms of articles we're very near - and the c64 wiki has been around for... how much longer, really? Thanks for pointing out, though I'm not sure which aspect you meant :) Indeed it'd be really nice if we had a special page for top 10 contributors. Since there's no such page built-in, we may as well try and do it manually - we know each other anyway, and it'd be a nice way to acknowledge those who have taken this wiki so warmly... a huge thanks, people, and congrats!!!

Ok, I added List of most active contributors. Maybe 500 is too much for the beginning? ;-) -- Prodatron 21:14, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

But of course this is not *real* contributions - I mean I cannot take credit for a contribution when all I've done is correct a spelling mistake... contributions are all edits, comments and articles; of course, there's no way to distinguish between all this, so let's just make a note...Gryzor 08:39, 2 September 2006 (CEST)

You are right. There are several problems. Manually it's too hard to figure out, what are new articles, big modifiactions, small modifications, image uploads etc. On the other hand a "new article" contribution doesn't mean a better contribution than a modification, if the new article is only a stub. So I think it can stay like this - it just shows who is active, that should be enough. I will add a note now. -- Prodatron 12:49, 2 September 2006 (CEST)

Have a look at the extensions page on the MediaWiki homepage. There are a lot of extensions which could help us a lot. The two templates for games, which we already submitted, would be great to use. The discussion about it is in the talk archive. --Octoate 14:48, 2 September 2006 (CEST)

500 currently seems to be too hard to reach, so I set the limit to 250 -- Prodatron 21:30, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

Linking to WIKIPEDIA

currently the tag Template:Wikipedia doesnt seem to work howcome... It does over at C64 Wiki :-) --CPCLER 18:34, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

Mmmm..... can you give an example? Gryzor 20:41, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

Yep.. over at The C64 WIKI under section LINK. OK i could just link directly!!! But.....

Sorry, I can't follow?! This template doesn't exist yet at all and what do we have to do with the links in the C64 Wiki? -- Prodatron 12:44, 2 September 2006 (CEST)

Yup, confirmed. Am trying to figure it out - sorry for the lack of support lately, I've been so busy at work I can merely glance at it usually... Gryzor
