Football Manager Wiki

**pnefc22** · 21-03-2009 22:35

Any opinions on my idea about the stadiums and how to make it easier to locate them?

Eg. the Stadia page contains:

English Premier League Stadiums
La Liga Stadiums
English Championship Stadiums

ETC

**ssestig** · 21-03-2009 22:38

Would be easier to find just as long as you knew what league the team are in to find the stadium.

If it is easier you can call me Stig if you want.

What does everyone think?

**ahmufcwafc** · 21-03-2009 22:40

We only have a few stadium articles at the moment so it's not a problem yet, but I d agree that we'll have to do something about it sooner or later.

I'm back on the wiki now, I was having cache issues apparently. JJay sorted it for me though.

Do one for both imo.

How about a page called Billy Jones, and then one called Billy Jones (Preston) and one called Billy Jones (Crewe), then have links to them both on he Billy Jones page. If you like I will make the pages and you could just do the information?

**ssestig** · 21-03-2009 22:50

Probably the best way of doing it I suppose.

**arsenal_2111** · 21-03-2009 22:56

K, do you want me to make them or will you?

**ssestig** · 21-03-2009 23:01

Will it be done for all players like this? Can you sort that out please mate?

**ssestig** · 21-03-2009 23:20

WelshWizard11 is Dan_Wales_Man on here. It says in the Wales national team page Alan.

**arsenal_2111** · 21-03-2009 23:22

Don't know about others, but I don't think we should have that sort of thing on there. On the club guides it is OK, because I am posting on behalf of someone else, but if its your own work it isnt needed imo.

**ahmufcwafc** · 21-03-2009 23:24

Ah I see, cheers stig. Don't think I've seen him around here much.

Yeah, we agreed on this weeks back. What page are you referring to?

**arsenal_2111** · 21-03-2009 23:26

I did Billy Jones 1983 and Billy Jones 1987, incase one of them moves clubs. Type in Billy Jones and it has links to them both.

The Wales page

**ssestig** · 21-03-2009 23:40

Sorted both Billy Jones'.

**ahmufcwafc** · 21-03-2009 23:52

I've added a FM fansites page.

**arsenal_2111** · 21-03-2009 23:55

Go ahead

**ssestig** · 22-03-2009 00:00

Arsenal it's .net at the end mate. Edited my last post above Alan too.

Nope, they all look great.

I'm going to add a couple for FMH too, if you don't mind.

Go ahead, the more the better.

**ssestig** · 22-03-2009 00:17

Done profile page for Gylfi Sigurdsson.

**ahmufcwafc** · 22-03-2009 00:23

I've merged the facepacks page with the kits & logos page. They were both more or less the same so it was pointless to have both.

It's still very rough though.

**arsenal_2111** · 22-03-2009 00:29

K, no point having both as they do that same.

I'm off now, night

**ahmufcwafc** · 22-03-2009 00:31

Night Jammy.

I'll stay up another while & make a few more minor edits.

**ssestig** · 22-03-2009 00:31

Night mate. Is anyone going to 'lock' my threads i've done tonight?

**ahmufcwafc** · 22-03-2009 00:33

Oh yeah, I will now. What are they again? All I can remember is the two Billy Jones ones.

**small Mac** · 22-03-2009 00:34

Looking through the sections, I think Affiliated clubs, Bosman transfers and Work permit should be under the Gameplay category instead of Miscellaneous. I'll move them unless people think they shouldn't?

And the Gylfi Sigurdsson one mate.

**small Mac** · 22-03-2009 00:42

Ok i've moved the articles i was talking about.

Cheers mate. I'll do more tomorrow mate after footy.

**ahmufcwafc** · 22-03-2009 00:49

Cheers stig. I think I'm done now for tonight. Will do a bit more tomorrow.

Cheers smallMac

Just a minor announcement. I am now the new 'FM Wiki representative'. I would just like to ask you that if you ever need to ask for permission to use content, and I am online, to PM me and I will get it sorted immediately. I will also be looking around and finding new ways to advertise our site.

Permission to use what? I think we're sensible enough, thank you very much

I agree, you can become our advertising executive if you want! Anything to make you feel important

Congrats on you're representative role Peter.

So in theory if i wanted to copy something from the Wiki for whatever reason, i would need to ask you for permission?

I think he means the other way round - if you wanted to copy something & use it in the wiki. Might be wrong though.

**peter-evo** · 22-03-2009 01:21

Sorry, I will make myself clearer. Basically, if you want to use an article or a piece of writing that someone else has written, and I am online, mention it here and I will get you permission. It is something I am good at outside of these forums and I guess I may aswell use it to good effect.

**small Mac** · 22-03-2009 01:30

Oh ok. So if i want to copy somthing from say bbc football - you could sort that out? Or is it only in reference to these forums?

**peter-evo** · 22-03-2009 01:31

I would do my best to sort it out, with places like that it could take a while to get a reply but I would do my best

**small Mac** · 22-03-2009 01:38

Was just thinking the other day that there is loads of relevant info we could lift from Wikipedia to fill in some gaps, i wonder what copyright (if any) they have? I guess also that people would rather the articles we did were original from forumers.

**peter-evo** · 22-03-2009 01:45

Well BBC is seemingly impossible but I have contacted skysports in hope they will give us some light permissions. I will explore what copyright they have.

Also, I am not sure people will mind too much about things like player profiles as I am sure they appreciate the difficulty at hand.

**ahmufcwafc** · 22-03-2009 12:04

Since you're our advertising guy now Peter, does that mean you'll be adding us to the fansites page on the FM website?

**ahmufcwafc** · 22-03-2009 13:16

Slight rule change: Only registered users are allowed to make pages now.

**JJay** · 22-03-2009 13:21

Could somebody test that they can edit the pages that is registered?

**ahmufcwafc** · 22-03-2009 13:31

MLS expert and Toronto FC's Number 1 Fan

Two roles.

**pnefc22** · 23-03-2009 20:51

Has anyone done any articles for the wiki today?

I havn't because of ICT coursework

I haven't because there isn't much more that could be added imo.

**peter-evo** · 23-03-2009 20:53

Update: We are on the FM Fansites section but are on the final page. CaptainHaddock will be mention us in the 'community round-up' and I will put a reference in the 'affiliates section'.

**ahmufcwafc** · 23-03-2009 21:03

Is that the fansites forum or the affiliates forum Peter?

**peter-evo** · 23-03-2009 21:04

What do you mean? We are on the FM official website.

**ahmufcwafc** · 23-03-2009 21:06

Never mind. I thought you said forum.

**peter-evo** · 23-03-2009 21:07

I need you all to rate us five-stars to give us a wee boost.

**ahmufcwafc** · 23-03-2009 21:08

But that's cheating

**peter-evo** · 23-03-2009 21:10

If you think we are worth five-stars then boost us.

Have you got a link to the FM official website where it has us as an affiliate/fansite.

**peter-evo** · 23-03-2009 21:43

here

That should be right

**ahmufcwafc** · 23-03-2009 21:48

On the 6th page Rob.

I've added a few logos to club articles.

**pnefc22** · 23-03-2009 21:49

Thanks, we are at the top of the page now

**peter-evo** · 23-03-2009 21:49

Top of the top page aswell

**jod123** · 24-03-2009 20:15

Glad to see great progress been made since the last time I was on.

I have not as much time as I used to and probably will not until I am finished my work experience at the end of August. Weekends are mainly the only time I can contribute at the moment (I know this is not the weekend before anyone says anything

). Last weekend was an exception though due to a certain rugby match.

Don't be silly, it was the Harlequins-Sale match!

Back on topic, I've added logos for about half of the club guide pages & some of the nations

**small Mac** · 24-03-2009 23:15

Just discovered your PMs ahmufcwafc so have now joined the Wiki forum.

In fact i had another PM from another fella over 2 months ago which i never realised i had received

**muncherdave** · 26-03-2009 03:07

I think it would be great if you could try to enforce some sort of standard layout for certain types of pages like the Club Guides for example. Hoffenheims page for example has info like Stadium Facilities and Transfer Budgets whilst other pages do not. This is handy info for someone who is looking to start a new game and it would be nice to see all teams pages like that and following the same structure for neatness and continuity. If all pages were like that perhaps people would use it as a guide for picking a club or nation to go manage when they are unsure.

If you decide that this is a good idea it would be better to put it in place sooner rather than later, so that there are less pages to edit.

I like Landon Donovans page btw, it's certainly not professional but it made me chuckle.

I like this idea, feel that we should work with this plan

**small Mac** · 26-03-2009 16:24

Yeah good post, agree with it too.

Alan, is it possible to revert an article to a previous edit, or is that something only admins can do? (referring to the Landon Donovan article)

I see what you're talking about - for some reason I ad thought that rancer put in the landy cakes bit

Not sure how to do it tbh, bu I'll change it back now anyway by copy and paste.
