This template should come in useful as time goes on and the number of articles grows.


It's configured to add an article to the [[:Category:Articles in need of updating|Articles in need of updating]] category.
* [[Template:old-info]] [[:Category:Articles in need of updating|Articles in need of updating]] category. Simply add <nowiki>{{old-info}}</nowiki> at the top of the article that looks like it needs to be brought up to date.
* [[Template:vital-info]] - adds the article to [[:Category:Articles in need of expansion]], and puts a  big red box saying there's something missing- with an option to say exactly what is missing.
* [[:Category:Articles in need of expansion]] - used if [[Template:vital-info]] isn't necesary.


Simply add <nowiki>{{old-info}}</nowiki> at the top of the article that looks like it needs to be brought up to date.

* [[Template:SL-hCard]] - This is a template that I straight copy & pasted from the template I created on the SL History Wiki. It's in need of some love from people who have a better idea of MediaWiki template syntax than I do, as it seems that the SL Wiki doesn't like the code as much as the History Wiki does.
 
* [[Template:visl]] - To be used by [[:Category:Second Life Volunteers|SL Volunteers]] to indicate which Volunteer groups they're in.
* Try to avoid using this category directly, as there aren't many situations where the old-info template wouldn't apply
* [[Template:llEmployee]] - To be used by [[:Category:Linden Lab Employees|LL Employees]] to indicate which departments they belong to.
 
* [[Template:languages-spoken]] - To be used by [[:Category:Second Life Residents|everyone]] to indicate what languages they speak.

Articles listed here are those which are listed under under [[Special:Shortpages]], but which require more immediate attention, or those which are not necessarily short, but are still missing information or over-simplifying a particular point.

My Accounts on SL

Things Marv would really like it if you took notice of

Article Flags

Profile Customisation

  • Help:Issues with username display - a guide to how to deal with the problem of your username not being displayed just how you want it to be seen on the Wiki.
  • Template:SL-hCard - This is a template that I straight copy & pasted from the template I created on the SL History Wiki. It's in need of some love from people who have a better idea of MediaWiki template syntax than I do, as it seems that the SL Wiki doesn't like the code as much as the History Wiki does.
  • Template:visl - To be used by SL Volunteers to indicate which Volunteer groups they're in.
  • Template:llEmployee - To be used by LL Employees to indicate which departments they belong to.
  • Template:languages-spoken - To be used by everyone to indicate what languages they speak.

URL shortcuts

Because typing out urls over and over again is a pain in the ass and leads to tipos typos.

  • Template:lsl - A handy little shortcut to make maintenance of the Wiki easier, should the LSL Wiki move, or be down for extended periods (we're talking weeks, not minutes or hours here).
  • Template:slkb-cat - For linking to SL Knowledge Base categories
  • Template:slkb - For linking to SL Knowledge Base articles
  • Template:SLurl - This is more aimed at being used in templates than it is being used directly, but feel free :-)

See Also

  • My To-Do list - a little place for me- and everyone else- to keep track of all the things I plan to do on the SL Wiki
  • My silly ideas for SL- these are just flights of fantasy, and should not be considered a priority for feature implementation. Unless you're really, really bored.
  • llXorBase64StringsCorrect() implemented in PHP - useful if you're going to be piping out encrypted data to an external server, it'll save you the time of writing it yourself :-)
