Kuroyanagi Habsburg: New section: Removed NCI International

== Note: Some SLurls not working ==

''SLURLS not working on two name sims? Some of these links work when using the templates, others do not. The only pattern I can see is that the two name Sims seem to break. The space is parsed as a "+". Is this correct?'' 
01:16, 9 February 2007 [[User:Blueman Steele|Blueman Steele]]

: The root template for the SLurl templates uses MediaWiki's urlencode function.
: This may sound odd, but it's SLurl.com that's broken, not the Wiki- SLurl.com isn't decoding the URL correctly.
: [[User:SignpostMarv Martin|SignpostMarv Martin]] 04:49, 9 February 2007 (PST)

: A bug has been filed in JIRA for this issue to be fixed. [https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-34]
:[[User:SignpostMarv Martin|SignpostMarv Martin]] 04:59, 9 February 2007 (PST)

: It's a bug that can be fixed in the SLURL Template, and as soon as LL fixes the wiki's schizophrenic versioning I'll deploy it. The issue as Blueman noted the PHP urlencode function replaces spaces with '+' instead of <nowiki>'%20'</nowiki>. With the new update we have #replace, which i'll use to replace the '+' with <nowiki>'%20'</nowiki>. [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 09:30, 9 February 2007 (PST)
:: The bug is with SLurl.com, altering the SLurl template would only be a workaround. It would be '''''better''' if SLurl.com was fixed'' instead of altering [[Template:SLurl]].
:: [[User:SignpostMarv Martin|SignpostMarv Martin]] 09:35, 9 February 2007 (PST)
::: And what about sims with '+' in their names? It's an easily avoidable ambiguity. On a side note MediaWiki does not supports using '+' instead of spaces in page names. I see it as a bug in the template and not the other way around. [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 10:51, 9 February 2007 (PST)
:::: Simple: {{urlencode:+}} <nowiki>{{urlencode:+}}</nowiki>
:::: Further example, lets say the open-source text editor [http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ Notepad++] Gets an island in Second Life, you'd end up with {{SLurl/simple|Notepad++|128|128|0|Notepad++ Island}} <nowiki>{{SLurl/simple|Notepad++|128|128|0}}</nowiki> generating '''''<nowiki>http://slurl.com/secondlife/Notepad%2B%2B/128/128/0/?&title=Notepad%2B%2B+Island</nowiki>'''''
:::: I repeat; If a problem exists with a remote service that is used by many many clients, the behaviour of the remote service should be fixed, rather than changing the behaviour of the many many clients.
:::: Basically, SLurl.com needs to be interpreting "+" as " " and "%2B" as "+"
::::[[User:SignpostMarv Martin|SignpostMarv Martin]] 15:08, 9 February 2007 (PST)

:::: RFC 1738 states '''''Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used unencoded within a URL.'''''
:::: The current configuration of SLurl.com is not interpreting "+" for it's reserved purpose, it is instead either interpreting it as "%2B", or just plain sneezing.

==The Little Blue Island Sandbox==
".... The owners Carter, Gillian and Patty and there volunteer staff....". Because they have their own volunteers you said, I'm unsure if there are additional SL-Mentors welcomed for mentoring or if wearing the SL-Mentor tag is allowed at all.{{unsigned|Richie Freund|00:01, 1 August 2008}}
:Hmm... best to ask the owner and remove the sandbox from this list in case mentors aren't welcomed, since it should list places where they ''are'' welcomed...

== Removed NCI International ==

I removed a broken SLURL from the list. I visited yesterday and it was a furniture store. :( --[[User:Kuroyanagi Habsburg|Kuroyanagi Habsburg]] 10:40, 11 August 2008 (PDT)

'''Spanish speaking groups'''

There are many groups where Spanish speaking residents can find help and make friends. Some of the more significant groups are (in no special order):

* [http://world.secondlife.com/group/af64c5cf-4195-9bf9-74d6-5dbb64232a58 Segunda Vida] (founded by long term Resident, Greeter and Mentor [[User:Blueman Steele|Blueman Steele]]).
* [http://world.secondlife.com/group/72698a03-bed6-447c-60b3-215e717c9674 Spanish From Spain=SpaniardS in SL]
* [http://world.secondlife.com/group/b0cbccc1-f8dd-8428-5f08-d6c158da71f6 Secondlifespain.com]
* [http://world.secondlife.com/group/fd6677e1-a3b4-54a9-02c0-f829657997d1 Aventura y Viajes] (founded by Mentor [[User:Irene Muni|Irene Muni]])

'''See Also'''

* {{SLurl/simple|La Isla|122|129|28|La Isla}}: Great place to take Spanish speakers. Active community and Spanish speaking DJ's.
* {{SLurl/simple|Cycnia|168|175|30|Mirando al Mar (Cycnia)}}: A place to make new friends, speak in Spanish and have fun. Free help, Spanish notecards, etc.
* {{SLurl/simple|Ibiza The Island|195|46|21|Ibiza The Island (Spain)}}

=== Portuguese ===

There are no "permanent" help structures for either Brazilian or Portuguese users, but you can join their respective major groups for more help: [http://world.secondlife.com/group/576d3db9-a386-cc8e-2e6a-6acf32bb36e1 Brasileiros no SL] (for Brazil) and [http://world.secondlife.com/group/e7ef6c27-708f-5464-312b-7837f36b70fe Tugas no SL] (for Portugal). People there will usually point new users to the most recently built areas with Portuguese content.

There is an island for Brazilian users run by residents called, very appropriately, {{SLurl/simple|Brasil|128|128|0|Brasil}}. Another place is listed as having information for Brazilian users: {{SLurl/simple|Delphi|37|84|26|PSDB - Diretorio SL}}.

== Sandboxes ==

These locations are for the technically advanced - those who are familiar with building and scripting. There are very experienced people in the sandboxes as well, but are often too preoccupied to help the Newbies who arrive interested in finding out what they can do.

'''Unmanaged sandboxes''' have no one in particular overseeing the operations of the area. They often rely on auto-returns and may have scripts disabled to prevent griefer attacks.

'''Managed Sandboxes''' have administrators or sandbox guardians who oversee the activities on the sandboxes. They are often reachable by a paging system or group chat, if they are not physically present.
