Oh okay, I get it now. Good idea

[arsenal_2111]

Tbh I think 3 is too many, if someone is trying to ruin work made by people trying to help the community they don't deserve rights to edit it even after one warning.

My opinion, of course.

Can I ask again who has 'reserved' doing various country pages?

It is simple to undo the edit once we cop it but maybe you are right. I put in 3 as that is the max I would have. There is 5 on Wikipedia which I think is far too much. Obviously 3 is my opinion as well so if more people want less then that is fine.

Oh yeah, we have lost links to them from the home page now as I changed the home page. I think rancer was written beside Canada but that was all. The rest were red links but without a name beside them.

[hamilton162]

One warning and then the second time ban them. We can't afford to have idiots deleting all of our hard work.

[ahmufcwafc]

I'm on jod's side with this one. I think what this guy did wasn't so bad, plus it's easily reversible. One warning & then a ban would be too strict imo.

[jod123]

Also I was just reading on Wikipedia and we should not permanently block an ip address as they can sometimes be dynamic (which means they change) which means anyone (even one of us if we have a dynamic ip) could be blocked if they got assigned that ip address in the future and their ip could change which means they could still access it.

That's true. Also if we banned someone, I bet he/she would be even more driven to spam our pages.

[jod123]

If they are on a mission to abuse it for a night or something though eventually we should block them but then unblock the ip address at a later time.

[hamilton162]

Fair enough Alan, but for repeated offences and bad first time deletions/useless edits, give them a level 2 warning at least. That way everyone will be happy

[peter-evo]

Fantastic work lads. I think we should give two warnings and a ban, myself. If they have two warnings it clearly shows that the user is in it for the laughs so we might as well ban his IP, then unban it after 3 days.

[ssestig]

Down for me now.

K, would it be alright with people if I did England's one? Think it could be quite good.

[ssestig]

Is it down for you Arsenal as well?

[hamilton162]

Just use the links that Jod and Peter provided on the previous page and it should work. It's working for me at the mo

[ahmufcwafc]

Down for me now.

http://www.fmliveonline.com/fmwiki/i...itle=Main_Page

[ssestig]

Cheers guys. Just updated my bookmark.

[peter-evo]

Why is it down?

[ahmufcwafc]

Cheers guys. Just updated my bookmark.

The old URL is only down temporarily, it should be back once JJay fixes it.

Why is it down?

JJay is doing something or another with it iirc.

[peter-evo]

Ah, that's fine. I've missed today's action while I was at the Ricoh

[rancer890]

Both urls seem fine to me...

I wrote up a bit of the Canadian team (I will write a lot more once later on, when I get bored of coursework ), and thinking of writing about the USMNT team too, if no one rejects...

[jod123]

Write what you want.

[ssestig]

I reject just to be awkward Go for it.

[pnefc22]

Not much has happened today. It's been one of the slowest development days since the start, mainly due to the all-guns firing start though.

Can we have a vote on the layout option?

Because I do dislike the new option.

I understand that we don't wan't a major list but at least could we have the links like 'Gameplay' and 'Technical' etc. in a list going down the page.

Did you like my reserve I did for you on it?

Go for it, the more we get done the better

[rancer890]

Woooo! No one better write on my pages.

EDIT: One more till 4000.

[ahmufcwafc]

Not much has happened today. It's been one of the slowest development days since the start, mainly due to the all-guns firing start though.

Well there's not much to write about now, I can't think of anything.Take it easy, we do have 130 articles since Tuesday

Can we have a vote on the layout option?

Because I do dislike the new option.

I understand that we don't wan't a major list but at least could we have the links like 'Gameplay' and 'Technical' etc. in a list going down the page.

I prefer the new layout. How about we make a seperate page with links to all articles on it?

Yeah, I think that is a good idea.

You want the links from the banner moved out of it to be like a list on the page?

Is that the only change you want?

I prefer them in the banner to be honest but I'll follow the majority.

[ryan_sacfc]

You may use the St Albans City official thread, arsenal_2111

[jod123]

There is already a special page called All Pages with them all on it.

[pnefc22]

Rancer, your Canada article is a bit biased so far...

[jod123]

Rancer, your Canada article is a bit biased so far...

"Very strong on paper"

[pnefc22]

There is already a special page called All Pages with them all on it.

Where is it on the page?

I can't seem to locate it.

[pnefc22]

"Very strong on paper"

"and the team is much inferior to their bitter rivals, the United States."

[ahmufcwafc]

There is already a special page called All Pages with them all on it.

I see, never knew that. Anyway, I vote for the current layout.

[jod123]

Where is it on the page?

I can't seem to locate it.

http://www.fmliveonline.com/fmwiki/i...ecial:AllPages

That is the link. You need go to special pages and then to all pages.

You could probably have a direct link to it on the home page if you want that.

[josh9393]

'Very strong on paper.'

Fantastic!

[rancer890]

"Very strong on paper"

It's very true in a way. I cannot seem to understand how on earth can we lose to Honduras and Jamaica...

I didn't mean we could beat up on the States and Mexico.

Oh, and our strikers are useless... (well Radzinski was good, but the key word is was...)

EDIT: on the youth team now

EDIT2: very strong on paper in the CONCACAF region, for more verification lol

[ahmufcwafc]

I'll go ahead & write the FM06 page now. Who reserved the FM07 page & do they plan on actually doing it? It's been left blank for ages

[pnefc22]

What kind of content do you want adding to here?

[pnefc22]

I'll go ahead & write the FM06 page now. Who reserved the FM07 page & do they plan on actually doing it? It's been left blank for ages

It could have been me who reserved it but if iut was, then it was an accident and feel free to edit it and do it if you want.

[pnefc22]

This page is just slightly pointless is it not. I don't know how to delete it so if someone could please do that.

[jod123]

What kind of content do you want adding to here?

Nothing there as that is a template. On short articles you just type {{stub}} to add in that template which adds in the text in the template.

It is like the unconstructive edits warning templates earlier for warning people after abusive/unconstructive edits like someone did earlier.

[jod123]

This page is just slightly pointless is it not. I don't know how to delete it so if someone could please do that.

That is because only sysops (admins) can delete articles. I don't think you would delete that though as that is a redirect. It means if somebody goes to Dynamo Kyev they will actually go to the Dynamo Kyiv article.

[ahmufcwafc]

This page is just slightly pointless is it not. I don't know how to delete it so if someone could please do that.

It kind of does have a point, because it sends you to the Dynamo Kyiv page if you type it into the search. Dynamo Kyiv are commonly called Dynamo Kiev you see.

[pnefc22]

Oh, I see.

Then, why does it redirect from Dynamo Kyiv and not Dinamo Kiev.

[pnefc22]

Can we do individual player profiles?

[ahmufcwafc]

Oh, I see.

Then, why does it redirect from Dynamo Kyiv and not Dinamo Kiev.

It hardly makes any difference, does it? Dynamo Kyiv is the correct name for them fwiw.

Can we do individual player profiles?

Go ahead

[jod123]

Oh, I see.

Then, why does it redirect from Dynamo Kyiv and not Dinamo Kiev.

Dynamo Kyiv is the official name.

Can we do individual player profiles?

Yeah, I don't see why not.

[rancer890]

Can someone make a redirect to the Major League Soccer page when you type in "MLS"? (if possible, I'm too lazy to type the whole name every time. On wiki, i just type "mls")

Oh, and rob, I'm already starting to think about making some individual wiki player pages, from the uncreated red link pages of de Guzman and DeRosario on the Canadian page.

[ahmufcwafc]

I'll do it now rancer

[Orion Dean]

I'll chip into this fine wiki with all the info i've got!

[jod123]

I'll chip into this fine wiki with all the info i've got!

Glad to have you on board.

[ahmufcwafc]

I'll chip into this fine wiki with all the info i've got!

Great news, now get to work!

I'll start working on some redirects. Jod, do you plan on putting some more content into the FM07 page? It looks kind of bare as it is...

Yeah same, I have got a whole list of players to make profiles for.

I guess that you are going to do all of Toronto's team and Canada's team

[jod123]

FM07?

There is nothing on it all. Somebody created a link to it and I just categorised it.

[pnefc22]

I apologise over the Dynamo (Kiev), (Kyiv), (Kyev) thing. I did not understand but now I understand over the redirects.

Could I have a redirect done for the Preston page, so that when you type in 'pne'.

I will do it myself if you tell me how to. Thanks

[ahmufcwafc]

Yeah, that's what I meant by bare So are you doing it or not?

It's fine
Working on the PNE redirect now.

I'll tell you if you want so you know in the future anyway.

Just create a page with the title of the redirect, so in this case it is PNE.

Then on the page just put the following #REDIRECT [[pagename]]

pagename is obviously the name of the article you want to redirect to so in this case it is the Preston page.

[jod123]

Yeah, that's what I meant by bare So are you doing it or not?

It's fine
Working on the PNE redirect now.

I don't mind doing it.

I was wondering why you asking me though as I never had anything to do with that article. All I did was categorise it.

[rancer890]

Yeah same, I have got a whole list of players to make profiles for.

I guess that you are going to do all of Toronto's team and Canada's team

Yep every member.

And maybe most MLS players too, but might let one of you do Becks profile.

[pnefc22]

Ok, thanks a lot.

I have edited the CM01/02 page, adding some info there but I have not finished.

This is what I have done: http://www.fmliveonline.com/fmwiki/i..._Manager_01/02

[pnefc22]

I added the player profile page on the banner.

Move it to look better if you want, as I was unsure of where to position it.

[peter-evo]

Just saw the new layout, very nice, looks proffesional. You guys have done good. I do think we should have an organised 'all articles' page.

[ahmufcwafc]

I edited the CM01/02 page a bit. Removed the roken links for you.

[jod123]

I have done the FM07 page quickly. I will finish it off later on.

[jod123]

I added the player profile page on the banner.

Move it to look better if you want, as I was unsure of where to position it.

I see you created a category. You don't need to enter a link to the article on it. If you just insert [[Category:Player Profiles]] at the end of each Player Profile article it will automatically be added to the page.

[ahmufcwafc]

Rob, do you plan on putting an introduction in your CM01/02 page? I must say it looks a bit bare without it. If not, I could do it if you like

[arsenal_2111]

I've finished England, it's amazing how little there is to say about them actually! Might do a recommended formation bit

[rancer890]

I see you created a category. You don't need to enter a link to the article on it. If you just insert [[Category:Player Profiles]] at the end of each Player Profile article it will automatically be added to the page.

Added to the category.

[pnefc22]

Rob, do you plan on putting an introduction in your CM01/02 page? I must say it looks a bit bare without it. If not, I could do it if you like

Yes, I do plan on putting in an introduction, as well as a player type thing.

If you are offering then, you can do the introduction while I work on a player list etc.

[pnefc22]

I thought that it would be only suitable if the first player profile would be of him:

The Biggest Flop due to the hype.

BTW, this article is not finished but is a start.

[peter-evo]

Just did a bit on the release of FM09

[pnefc22]

Rob, do you plan on putting an introduction in your CM01/02 page? I must say it looks a bit bare without it. If not, I could do it if you like

I see that you have done it. It looks good. I may add some more information to it as we go along.

How come I can't add in the contents or the opening at all?

Is it because i am not an admin?

Do you think that we will ever have more people with sysops(admin) priviledges?

Plus, weren't there 4 people with admin priviledges before JJay helped us?

Lot of questions I know

You get a contents bit if you have more than 3 proper headings in a page. Your problem is that you're just putting text in bold instead of a heading. That's why contents never come up for you.

[peter-evo]

CaptainPlanet has yet to register to the Wiki I believe so that is why he is not sysops; he would be made sysops if/when he signs up

[pnefc22]

In this page, Player Profiles why can I not add more players to the list?

It is really annoying me and hampering me doing stuff having all this stuff blocked, as I would like to add more player profiles.

[pnefc22]

You get a contents bit if you have more than 3 proper headings in a page. Your problem is that you're just putting text in bold instead of a heading. That's why contents never come up for you.

Ok, thanks.

I do it manually that is why instead of clicking on the buttons.

[ahmufcwafc]

Just type [[Category:Player Profiles]] at the end of every page you want put into that category.

[rancer890]

Well, I just added Landon Donovan.

How are you guys going to approach these player profiles? Add a player screenshot, and include a coach report? Just wondering how to improve the presentation of these player profiles...

[mista T]

This new layout is getting on my nerves, I can't figure out how to edit stuff into it. For instance, on the player profile page, I press edit at the top of the page, post a link and it puts it in the description. Someone please help.

Well it would help if you told us what your problem is

If you tell me what your problem is I'll be happy to help. It isn't that difficult.

[mista T]

I've finally figured it out. Cheers ahmufcwafc. Couldn't figure out what you meant, kept putting [[player name]][[Categorylayer profiles]] all as one.

[ahmufcwafc]

I've finally figured it out. Cheers ahmufcwafc. Couldn't figure out what you meant, kept putting [[player name]][[Categorylayer profiles]] all as one.

Ah, I see. It's okay, we all make mistakes

[pnefc22]

Just finished my To Madeira profile

I will add a screenshot when I know how to insert images.

I understand the new layout now and it is ok once you get used to it.

[pnefc22]

The last couple of hours has made it a very productive day for the site and I would just like to say well done to everyone who has helped this evening.

Especially, to ahmufcwafc who has been extrememly helpful in working out the new layout.

[peter-evo]

And thanks to the maker of the wiki... oh yeah

[ahmufcwafc]

The last couple of hours has made it a very productive day for the site and I would just like to say well done to everyone who has helped this evening.

Especially, to ahmufcwafc who has been extrememly helpful in working out the new layout.

I agree, ahmufcwafc is the best

Anyway, here's how you add a screenshot:

1. Click 'upload file' on the left hand corner of the page.
2. Upload it from wherever you have it saved.
3. Go into the page that you want to put the image into, & at the top write [[Image:<image link here> | *whatever side you want the image to be one (eg. left/right/centre )* | caption]]

[bawbag the gr8]

I am making my first contribution to the site, and article on general training (eg. categories, star ratings etc.) I don't think anybody has done / started this but can somebody just confirm before I begin?

[JJay]

Sorry lads - the link www.footballmanagerwiki.co.uk has all sorted itself out and it was my fault that I hadn't removed part of the url from the wiki setup why it didn't appear.

It's up and working now so the domain in your hyperlink bar should be correct Makes it easier when creating and editing articles

[pnefc22]

What has happened to the site?

All its structure and layout has gone???

I was in the middle of an article and I just saved it and it messed up.

Anyone know what has happened?

It's fine for me

[JJay]

Yeah - the temporary link that you were given no longer points straight at the wiki settings which is why the layout will disappear on there. Your coding on your page shouldn't be a problem if you load it up using the below link.

www.footballmanagerwiki.co.uk <--------------- That's the link now for the long-term. No more temp links

[peter-evo]

We haven't yet actually, what should we go for?

[ahmufcwafc]

My favourite is the first one. Can everone please vote in case we forget about it again. Thanks.

[arsenal_2111]
