| == Welcome template? ==
| |
| I have been thinking about suggesting a welcome template, for example named {{obr}}welcome{{cbr}}, to place on top of (at least) new users user discussion pages.
| |
| | |
| It should welcome the (new) user
| |
| | |
| In addition, it should probably mention and/or link to pages mentioning:
| |
| * The introduction page/tutorial (Hmm, I do not think I did finish that one. See [[Help talk:Tutorial]] ([http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Help_talk:Tutorial&oldid=70843 perm])).
| |
| * Help pages
| |
| * How to use categories (in particular not like #tags, ;-) but also that image and article categories should be separate, but link to each other)
| |
| * The portals
| |
| * The style manual
| |
| * Discussion pages and where to discuss what:
| |
| ** How to use discussion pages
| |
| ** The wiki in general: The village pump (this page)
| |
| ** Wiki articles: Article discussion pages
| |
| ** Wiki user actions: User discussion pages
| |
| | |
| Maybe it should also mention that FGAddon aircraft, effects, other features etc. (except for their articles) and their bugs should be discussed on the forum, unless developers say otherwise, and that core features should be discussed on the developer mailing list and core bugs on the bug tracker.

| : I think this is a great idea. A nice concise summary with links to help a new user navigate the FlightGear jungle would be a great addition. It should however remain very short with simple sentences - while being complete - as many users are not native speakers. So maybe there should be translations of the template with manually added links at the bottom for easy access to all the translations?

| == Permanently removing spam bots ==
| |
| For permanently removing spam bots, has the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserMerge UserMerge] Mediawiki extension been considered? I use that regularly on [http://wiki.nmr-relax.com my own wiki], though there we have also reverted to communicating to the person via email before manually granting access (probably not an option here), as all of the Mediawiki captcha methods were recently cracked.

| |
| | |
| : Oh, for the extension, we simply have a user called 'Spam bot' in a blocked state, and merge the spam bot accounts into this one, deleting the old account.
| |

| |
| | |
| :: I'd use the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter abuse filter extension] instead (much more powerful and automated) - other users have also proposed different remedies, see [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=28734 this forum thread]. Anyway, Gijs is going to upgrade MediaWiki shortly and review the current anti-spam measures.

| |
| | |
| ::: A lot of the spam bots are using their name as advertising nowadays, so the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserMerge UserMerge] extension is the only one I know which will allow a user and associated name to be permanently deleted.

| |
| | |
| :::: The problem now is that they're also adding the information to the page title, so that it will still show up in the deletion logs [http://wiki.flightgear.org/Special:Log/delete] in other words, there's still some SEO juice associated with deleted entries ... Another idea would be to allow admins to temporarily disable wiki registrations/article creation, e.g. if more than 2 admins agree, this could be done to protect the wiki from spam attacks.
| |
| | |
| ::::: Hooray, you should sign your posts ;) The bots don't target the deletion logs, as that's a little pointless. It's a Special:* page, and the default Mediawiki robots.txt file tells all search engines to not index these pages. User pages, page histories, etc. are however normally indexed.

| :: The point was not what the bots are targeting, but what shows up in the logs - i.e. SEO-wise - Gijs' article blacklist stuff should help with that hopefully. PS: I could not find the signature button on the mobile device I am using, and I am not too good at remembering the correct number of tildes ;-) [[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 15:04, 19 February 2016 (EST)

| == WIP vs. Under construction ==
| |
| I have been beginning to miss the under construction template[http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Template:Under_Construction&direction=prev&oldid=46229] more and more (though I could it definitively could be improved).
| |
| | |
| I have begun to appreciate the need to differentiate between letting readers that a page is to be considered a yet to be finished construction site (though we in a way have that through the {{tl|incomplete}} template) and letting the reader (and other editors) that a page will receive a large amount of work for some hours or even days, usually the use for {{tl|WIP}}.
| |
| | |
| In summary i miss templates giving a clear distinction between conditions akin to "Under construction" and "Caution - Wet floors", rather than "being worked on" and "could need more work".

| == [[Fr/Pilote automatique]] ==
| | __TOC__ |
| Bonjour,
| |
|
| |
|
| Je viens de créer la page de traduction en français de l'article original en anglais [[Autopilot]]. Vu mes faibles compétences en matière de pilotage, vu que je n'ai pas sur ma version téléchargée d'avion avec un pilote automatique, la traduction doit souffrir quelques approximations, si ce n'est des contresens plus ennuyeux. Si quelques bonnes âmes plus qualifiées pouvaient me faire la grâce d'une relecture... merci d'avance.

| I've updated MediaWiki to the latest stable release (1.26.2) today. I've still got to update some of the extensions, so there may be regressions for now. Please report bugs if you find any. For a list of changes, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.26

| | == Embedded YouTube videos broken == |
|

|
| : Cheers! I was hoping that it would solve the uneditable Chinese, Russian, and other non-latin character-based pages (Polish strangely as well), but unfortunately [[FlightGear_wiki:Village_pump/Archive_2015#UTF-8_language_pages_cannot_be_edited|that issue remains]]. | | It seems that the [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo|EmbedVideo extension]] was removed at some point. Consequently, pages such as [[Howto:Creating FlightGear Promo Videos]] are broken. At present, the best replacements seems to be [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo_(fork)|a fork]] and [[mw:Extension:YouTube|Extension:YouTube]]. |

|
| |
|
| ::: Unfortunately this time it isn't me forgetting to copy a file. The SyntaxHighlight extension no longer uses GeSHi, but has switched to Pygments. This means our Nasal mapping no longer works and has to be re-written. If anyone is interested, be my guest. See http://pygments.org/docs/lexerdevelopment/

|
| :: We can use the ECMAScript/JavaScript lexer[http://pygments.org/docs/lexers/#lexers-for-javascript-and-related-languages] for now, my suggestion would be to copy that over to a file so that we can work on a custom Nasal lexer (Syntax is almost identical, with a few different keywords, and many others being irrelevant). What is missing/different can be obtained from other lexers that are similar, e.g. [http://pygments.org/docs/lexers/#lexers-for-other-c-like-languages] [[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 15:45, 19 February 2016 (EST)
| | Hello, |
| | I would like to register on the forum, but I tried several times without success. I sent an email to the administrator some time ago, but it seems to have been lost. I don't know what to do, is there somebody here who could help? Please tell me if you need additional information. |

| :: Okay, here's the better/quick&easy way: We have Nasal support for some fairly popular editors, like [[http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:Syntax_highlighting_for_Nasal#Vim|vim]](originally created by Melchior), listed at [[Howto:Syntax_highlighting_for_Nasal]] - there are various free converters available that will read such a syntaxhighlighting file and convert it to a pygments class, e.g. see: https://github.com/honza/vim2pygments [[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 16:00, 19 February 2016 (EST) | | : Hi, |
