ahmufcwafc Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Is there a limit on how many screenshots we can upload? Don't think it's been mentioned in this thread yet so I might as well say it now. We're petty close to reaching our storage limit, and if we exceed it, JJay's going to have to pay. As far as I know he's restricted uploads to admins only just as a sort-term measure. Linking to imageshack or photobucket is probably the best thing to do for now. Could you give me a hand sticking stub tags on all profile pages that have no content if at all possible? Also, are we ready to make a decision on the wikipedia situation yet or should that be held up for another while? All up to you guys, I don't do anything on the profles so I'll leave it up to you.

pnefc22 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 How can we upload screenshots from external sites such as Photobucket or Imageshack to the wiki? We can't. He means providing a link to Photobucket where they can view the screenshot. At least, that is what I think he means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssestig Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Just done that with Xabi Prieto, a player known to me via Crazy's Torquay dominance on FM07. Let me know what you think. Edit: 2900th post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Maybe, to make it stand out on pages that have text, you could give the screenshot a separate header. Something like this: ==Screenshot of Profile== [link to screenshot] We've hit 100% disk usage now. I think the best idea is to upload all player profile screenshots to photobucket from now on. JJay will be taking all the screenies uploaded to the site and they'll be re-uploaded on photobucket. Afterwards we'll have plenty of disk space left so we'll be able to allow uploads again.

ahmufcwafc Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Good to hear from you Hamilton I've made a new template called {{Player Profile Stubs}}, will anyone putting a stub tag on a player profile please use this template instead from now on. It makes it easier to differentiate between player profile stubs and the other stubs. Just another idea regarding the player profiles: How about leaving profiles un-categorised (keeping the stub tag though) until they have some FM-related content? Mightn't be the best of ideas, but I'd like to know what you think anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeLikeFM Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 hey lads i havent checked on your wiki in some time but i just wanted to ask a question has the player profiles been devolped to include anything about FM or are they still jsut a copy and paste from wikipedia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 In fairness, we never had that many people working on the wiki at the same time. When a few users take a break it's bound to happen. Any ideas on what we should be focussing on now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Player profiles imo. Do you think I could try and get permission to ask around in the GPTG to ask people to add a little bit of player info from FM onto pages? I think HoPeY and Purefun would be cool with a post in some club threads if I ask them first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssestig Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I also suggest the player profiles. Jammy - That would be a great idea and I think that HoPeY and Purefun would agree to that like we have for our club guides. Edit: Is there a system that we can use where only admin can accept new accounts? I, for one, am unhappy with the number of multiple accounts (most probably from the same user) and the names in particular that the accounts are called. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yeah it would be nice to get some FM related info into profiles. Go for it. Vandalism - What we could do is restrict access to accounts until an admin has approved them. The downside to this is that I've noticed a few guys register to the site and make edits just a few minutes after signing up. Restricting accounts like this would make it even more inconvenient for new users. To be honest I don't really give a crap about what this guy/spambot does. I can block him, delete his page and re-name his account in a matter of seconds. I just find it a bit sad that someone would spend their spare time doing this.

arsenal_2111 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I'll send a PM to one of them and ask about it then ALSO: As there is no more room left on the site (I don't think) shall we make a Photobucket account for fmwiki - so we can have everything in one place? Would be a lot easier to control than having lots of pictures everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
