ahmufcwafc Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Nope, just didn't think it made much sense. The sentence that is. Ah, never noticed that. Football Manager related then? Do we have a choice what to change it to? It'd be a shame to have a not so good page on there, or a page copied from Wiki. Thanks for adding it tho We can change it. Are we happy with the Confederations Cup for now or do you think we shouldn't have another competition as our featured article? I have changed the Selected Article to be a featured article each month. At present this is manual but in future could be automated if it felt appropriate.Also - some feedback on whether an integrated IRC applet would be of any use for the wiki would be useful - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:IRC_Chat Just so I'm understanding correctly - it's basically a chat addon for the site, yes?

ssestig Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Just started a page for Leicester City. Is that better content wise? Obviously missing budgets, stadium info and suggested formation/signings which can be added at a later date. Also for the screenshots for players, can they all be from the first season only please guys so that we know what they start the game like first then add some more at a later date.

Just so I'm understanding correctly - it's basically a chat addon for the site, yes? Yes mate - is it of any use?

arsenal_2111 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Who put that? What was wrong with what I put? Jammy changed it around a bit, just to freshen up the main page a bit. Surely nothing wrong with that? Nope, just didn't think it made much sense. The sentence that is. Like Alan said, that was me. It was worded quite badly, reading it again. We can change it. Are we happy with the Confederations Cup for now or do you think we shouldn't have another competition as our featured article? Confederations Cup is fine, although it may be best to try and keep it to pages that contain some FM information for next times? Was just checking for the future though:) Just so I'm understanding correctly - it's basically a chat addon for the site, yes? That'd be quite good, might not get used much but would be a nice little add on Just started a page for Leicester City. Is that better content wise?

arsenal_2111 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 By the way, player pages with accents are screwed up again. Priskin's page is called Tam�s Priskin and has no content - not sure what's happened here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJay Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hm, when was that page created? It's not one that I've manually had to fix. The accent issue should now be fixed - but what has happened here is that as it has been fixed it doesn't understand the old link The only affected articles therefore will be the ones created prior to the fix yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJay Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I've applied the automatic fix (which will now only cause the profiles we moved manually to be out of sync) to sort out EVERY character problem there was - this has fixed all the profiles with accents. The empty profiles should now be back I could have done this yesterday - would have saved the problems today which I didn't forsee! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I've set up the featured content page here. I just picked a few random pages that were in the top 10 most viewed list. Is there any way of getting rid of that ugly contents box at the top of the page? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Personally I think you should just show the best from each category. Clubs - Competitions - Nations - Players - Non-Players - Gameplay - Skinning - Technical - Stadia - Editing - Game Releases - Miscellaneous - I'll leave that one empty in case anyone else want to suggest some. Clubs - Arsenal Competitions - I like Serie A, but I'm biased Nations - Wales Players - Maybe one of the ones that were redone? Fabregas, Priskin, I'm not sure what other ones were done Non-Players - Not sure if there is one that has FM info? Gameplay - So many to choose from, either Tactics, Training or Assembling a good team maybe? Skinning - Skins is the obvious choice Technical - Tips on making PC faster Stadia - All the same layout no? So just pickany team Editing - Either EDT, DDT and LNC Files or WeeGiE Game Releases - FM09, FMH and FML Miscellaneous - Steam maybe? Not too many to choose from. Just saw the ones there - all of them seem fine too, but I think we need a couple more. Maybe 10 altogether? Not sure which ones are the best from them, I reckon 1. Regens 2. Takeovers 3. Skins 4. Steam 5. Tactics 6. Training 7. Assembling a good team... 8. (what people think the best team guide is) 9. (what people think the best competition guide is) 10. (what people think the best player guide is) As for the contentsbox, I don'tthink you can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 1. Regens - Done 2. Takeovers - Done 3. Skins - Done 4. Steam - Not enough content imo. 5. Tactics - Possibly, might be lacking in a bit of content 6. Training - Agreed. 7. Assembling a good team... - Agreed 8. (what people think the best club guide is) 9. (what people think the best competition guide is) 10. (what people think the best player guide is) For the miscellaneous page, I'd go for the page on SI over Steam. I think the page on EDT files etc should be included as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 What about players/competitions/teams? I'd go for the ones with the most original content. As I've said before, those three sections aren't my area so I'm pretty much clueless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I *think* the whole of the Arsenal page is original, and think Kevin Doyle, Fabregas and Priskin are the only player ones with completely original work. Then most competition guides that aren't big walls of text are original. So I'm not sure on this one. Fabregas is well known so he may be a good one? Or if you think theres a better player that could go on there I'll write up a guideto him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yeah the Arsenal page looks good, I think that should go in. I think we should go with Priskin for the player profile, just to not have too much featured pages related to Arsenal. I'll have them up shortly.

LRJ Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Any chance one of you guys could create a page on player compensation? Like where you approach to sign and it says 'Team X must be compensated with Y amount of money possibly rising to Z' Not sure if its always the same, but my last one was Y upfront followed by 100k per appearance for the next 40 games, with 15% sell-on clause Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
