Awesome wiki page!

I was browsing the Second Life wiki and came across your uploaded images, and followed them here. What a super example of using your wiki page to provide help and info! I really appreciate you having these editing instructions too. :) Keep it up, and thanx for linking to my Video Tutorials! Sounds like you have a lot of fun — the FREE HUGS piccie is just too cute. - Torley on 2008-02-25 @ 7:55 AM PST

wow... *blushes* Thank you very much! =) Hope to see you inworld some day to ask for a Torley teddy. The sightseeing subpage is still a work in progress but I hope to finish it in a not to distant future. Thumbs up for the Video Tutorials. They're great. Friendly greetings, --Zai Lynch 09:59, 26 February 2008 (PST)

Ooh, it gets even better! I like your video bar a lot! AWESOME... and Ffriendly greetings to you too! - Torley on 2008-05-05 @ 5:04 PM PST

RE: How to have a discussion in a wiki

Well, I am unaware of how to do this, So if you are good at this style of reconstruction, feel free to do so. I am just a rookie at Wiki coding, so something is better then nothing....

You have the go-ahead to change if you wish it to be a discussable page.

Don't worry =) Took me some time as well to figure it out. I'll look what i can do at the Q&A Page. Greetings, --Zai Lynch 01:05, 18 January 2008 (PST)

re: template: delete

Last time I brought this up with Rob, the policy is generally to not delete stuff.

However, it's been a while so you might want to poke Rob at his office hours

ok, THX =) I'll have a look if I'm able to convince him about the helpfulness of such a template. Greetings, --Zai Lynch 09:49, 12 February 2008 (PST)

I was referring more to actually deleting stuff, rather than using templates to request such deletion.

To memory, the only thing that was deleted (as opposed just blanking the article) was the wiki-coded version of the TOS (I'd ported it over intending it as a means of tracking changes in the TOS) because any differences in the TOS might cause legal issues. Though LL don't seem to mind the wiki-code version of the Community Standards document :-)

The only reason why an article shouldn't be deleted is attribution, or if one article is based off another.

I would suggest & support a system of requesting accidentally created articles to be deleted, as well as redirected articles that aren't used for disambiguation- Orientation Islander redirects to SignpostMarv Martin because they're both me for example, but articles that were moved/redirected because of typos or structure changes that aren't linked to any longer (might be wise to discuss a minimum time frame such an article stays around doing nothing).

SignpostMarv Martin 01:48, 13 February 2008 (PST)

I wasn't requesting Residents getting delete perms, it was just the issue of attribution being affected I think. You'd have to dive around the wiki somewhere, but I think the end result was stuff gets moved into a recycle bin pseudo-namespace, which is incredibly wasteful.

re: VTeam

The reason the VTeam article was included as opposed to integrated into the category was to allow the VTeam the option of fleshing out the information at a later date.

Integrating the article either locks them in to the category (in my opinion, categories as articles are a borked concept), whereas with the templating system, sections of the article can be selectively included in the catgegory.

-SignpostMarv Martin 08:28, 19 May 2008 (PDT)

Yeah that sounds like a good idea once the article grew to a mentionable size so it wouldn't be included completly. When I stumbled upon it, I just feeled like having a déjà vu and was a little confused. I made this change since I assumed that others might feel the same way. So once the article becomes more then an introduction/summary which is completely mirrored by the category, I would totally agree that an include of the first summary lines would be best to handle it, since it's a very dynamic concept. I hope that will happen in a not to distant future (*plopp*) and I'd be glad if my edit would become reverted once this happened. THX for pokin' me to it =)

Videos?

No more videos on your page? :-(

O r l a 23:18, 19 June 2008 (PDT)

Aawww *snifflz* *hugz Orla*. I hope it's just temporarily tho. I noticed, that some browsers (still) got problems with the overflow, which results in my whole page beeing borked. I'm not entirely sure why it is, since it looks o.k. in case I just have a look at the subpage which I'm embedding. But as soon as I look at the embedded version, it's borked in one of my browsers. Maybe in others too... So I'll have to wait until I find a work-around. :-/

Kewl sig btw!

Greetz, --Zai Lynch^{(talk|contribs)} 05:54, 20 June 2008 (PDT)

Awwwwwww *rehugz*. Just noticed they are gone. Didn't notice any problems yet, using Opera and Firefox :D

O r l a 06:04, 20 June 2008 (PDT)

It's strange. Borked for me in Opera 9.27 (both, embedded and non-embedded), borked in FF3.0 (just when embedded), not borked in FF 2.0.0.14, borked in an IE on my Windowwwz... I don't know. Kuraiko tested it and said it would work for him in FF, IE and Opera. Watched it at 3 different PCs now with multiple browsers and some are able to handle it while others just avoid the scrollbar, displaying the whole page with a width of about 3000pixel or something. So that looks really ugly.

--Zai Lynch^{(talk|contribs)} 06:23, 20 June 2008 (PDT)

I'm using Opera 9.50 and the latest stable FF and not 3.0... :/

O r l a 06:28, 20 June 2008 (PDT)

I see... well, I'll need to think about a version which works in all (or most) of the current browsers so people don't get this ZOMG! WHAT IS DAT?!?-impression by clicking at my page (^_^) Will break my head about it during the upcoming 4hour car ride I'm starting in a few. Your page turned AWEZOMEZ btw =) Cyas In-World. *Hugz*
