== Wiki cleanup ==
== Wiki upgrade ==


There seems to be a discussion in [http://walpurgischan.net/meduka/res/12934.html Meduka thread] about cleaning up the wiki (and little discussion in [[User talk:Sondenise]]). I think we better continue the discussion here. My idea is that if we want to cleanup the wiki and turn it into something more formal (e.g. less fan content and speculah, more confirmed/official info), we better archive this Wiki as read only and start a new. The reason is that the wiki in its current form is a mix of fan content, speculation and official info, and many parts are not exactly well-organized.
I've partially finished upgrading the wiki software to latest version and migrating the wiki to a better server (alongside with Walpurgischan). Due to this, there might be some stuff that broke, if you found anything please comment here and I'll try to fix it. The currently broken stuff I'm aware of are:


In case we archive the wiki, this will be what happen:
* '''"Magica" theme is missing''' — likely going to take some time to fix, because there's some breaking changes in the base Vector theme.
* <del>'''[[Mathematics of Madoka Magica]] page is broken''' — not sure why, will have to debug.</del>
* <del>'''[[Runes:Episode 1|Runes pages]] are not showing the rune''' — updated [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] but it doesn't seems to work. Do not sure why.</del>


* The current wiki content is frozen as read only, and put to oldwiki.puella-magi.net
Since the Wiki now running the latest MediaWiki, I should now able to install newer extensions. If anyone have any request, please feel free to say so. Also regarding the cleanup we've discussed last year, since now the new server is done, we might be able to ''finally'' start, although it's a bit too late. Either way, sorry for being slow at everything, and thank you for your patience. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 23:29, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
* New wiki is setup at wiki.puella-magi.net (MediaWiki? Something else?)
* "Not found" page in a new wiki contain a link to suggest to look at the same article name in oldwiki.puella-magi.net


I would love to see an opinion from the community on what would be the best way going forward.
: * <del>'''images.puella-magi.net is broken''' — I forgot about this and it currently broke all hotlinks. Will fix.</del> --[[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 23:53, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
:: Done fixing images.puella-magi.net. Runes issue seems to fix itself (caching issue?) --[[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 07:55, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
:: Math should now be working: <math>e=mc^2</math> (and should looked a lot better than before, when inlining) --[[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 17:56, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
:: Restored the questy CAPTCHA (trivial question) during registration as it seems like the most effective way to combat against SPAM --[[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 05:54, 30 March 2018 (UTC)


Thanks! — [[User:0x99|0x99]] 14:39, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
=== Lazyload ===


: For a reference current wiki size is 14GB because all the images. Backup in Tarsnap contains about 21GB of unique data. — [[User:0x99|0x99]] 14:43, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
I'm currently experimenting with [https://github.com/mudkipme/mediawiki-lazyload Lazyload] to see if it result in faster page load and whether it will reduce bandwidth usage for both server side and client side. Due to this, there might be a slight delay until images are displayed on page load. If it's not working out or found to be annoying, I will remove it. Please let me know what do you think. Thanks! --[[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 16:54, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
: Nvm, this is proved to be more annoying and buggy than I'd hope (after half hour of browsing). I'm removing it. Sorry for the noise. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 17:24, 10 April 2018 (UTC)


::As long as certain pages won't be locked and the sidebar can be updated, I'm up for it. In retrospect, it's quite a hassle to edit every single page here and remove all irrelevant speculation and fanart. It'd be best to start anew and put up some new rules on the wiki so we don't have this issue in the future when new Madoka stuff comes out and everyone goes nuts:
== User rights change ==


::* No fan art on character pages or episode pages or etc., we don't need to have people upload individual pieces to show off, people need to search for them on their own. Keep most fanworks to a minimum. The most notable such as Grief Syndrome are permitted to have a page. No joke pages either.
I've added [[User:Sondenise]], [[User:Universalperson]] and [[User:The Witch's House]] to the administrator group in the wiki. The wiki administrator are a group of trusted users (in MediaWiki, "ultimate" admin permission is the configuration file) and can ban the user, lock the page, and edit stuff like [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] (or other part of interface). This is to allow the current editors to be able to change things a bit more easily. Thank you! --[[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 15:27, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
::* No shipping nor speculation, the latter especially whether it be what everyone generally agrees on or not (such as whether Kyubey is evil or not) and/or what people think/predict what will happen in newer works. This should be discussed and kept to /meduka/ or elsewhere. -- [[User:The Witch&#39;s House|The Witch&#39;s House]] 19:13, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
:Thank you so much.--[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] ([[User talk:Universalperson|talk]]) 15:51, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
:Awesome! Thank you so much! [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 17:06, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
:Congrats, you three and keep up the good work! [[User:Prima|Prima]] ([[User talk:Prima|talk]]) 05:36, 8 May 2018 (UTC)


::: I certainly agree with getting rid of fanarts; they're the source of hotlinking and take up the most space. Most fan artist do not like that we reprinting them without their permissions, etc. As for speculation, I think if it's still in the area of in-series observation and not a crazy theory (e.g. A may have something to do with Y) it should be OK. Page locking have something to do with preventing spam and edit wars (but that was from 2012), so we could definitely relax on that.
== @0x99 ==


::: Sidebar is another story though as it's locked by permission in MediaWiki (wiki software) rather than manual lock like other pages. Granting permission to edit sidebar equals to editing all system messages which is a little scary (e.g. you can put up a side-wide persistent banner with the permission). I will see if there is an extension capable of allowing user-edited sidebars without affecting other parts of the wiki. -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 05:10, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
You said you would be removing all the crack shipping garbage from the "yuri undertones" page when you upgraded the site, what happened to this? --[[User:Temptemp]] ([[User talk:Temptemp|talk]]) 21:39, 6 April 2018‎ (UTC)
 
: Since a complete renew of the wiki seems to not be happening anytime soon (due to reduced number of editors we have, and me being busy with RL), we will have to take another approach in cleaning up articles. However, considering the Wiki's root (4chan), we cannot simply delete the page either. This is very likely resulting in subjective/fan content having its own section, completely isolated from the rest of the site. Please feel free to suggest if you have any ideas. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]])
: The wiki definitely got cluttered over the years and could use a tune up.  My primary concern is whether we have enough (wo)manpower to trim everything down to size. Over the past year, wiki activity has slowed tremendously, with only occasional bouts of individual, herculean efforts. Going through all 666 pages will take a lot work. Either way, I'm going to miss all the fun stuff. - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 05:31, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:: I hear you. But at the same time, we will have a lot more content coming up thanks to Magia Record (story, events, characters, etc.)  If we want to those stuff in the wiki, a cleanup is definitely needed.  For the fun stuff I think Walpurgischan can still be used (I plan to keep it running as long as I could) although I understand that it's not the same kind. -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 05:47, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
::: If we're doing this, I'll help when I could.  Any goodies we can get if we're starting afresh? How about languages? Webm? Do we have to manually migrate over all the media? - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 05:55, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::: Multilangual is definitely one (so we can have en:Pages, ja:Pages, fr:Pages, etc). Setting up wiki-family for supporting multi languages wiki with common assets (photos, etc.) require a bit of work, in which doing with current wiki state is rather difficult (but a lot easier when start anew). WebM/HTML5 video is likely yes because we can upgrade MediaWiki without breaking a lot of stuff (and can set $wgHtml5 to true). Media have to be manually migrated though, but I think uploading files in newer version of MediaWiki is a lot easier than what we have. -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 06:04, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
::: Is it really safe to assume we should delete stuff because we have a lot more content? Kirara is defunct and Magia Record isn't going to be any different from your average region locked mobile game.[[User:Trowa199|Trowa199]] 06:42, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::: I understand your concern. However, my idea was at we leave the current wiki in read only mode at the different URL and start migrating stuff. The existing content would still be there with nothing deleted, and we would have a clean canvas to start reorganizing stuff. If we're not sure whether the effort is going to be successful, we can even leave the current wiki as-is for the time being (at wiki.puella-magi.net) and start a new wiki at different URL until we're satisfied with it before switchover, e.g.
 
::::* Create new.puella-magi.net as a new wiki (leave wiki.puella-magi.net running as-is)
::::* Start importing stuff from wiki.puella-magi.net to new.puella-magi.net
::::* Once we're OK with the content in the new wiki, perform a switchover:
::::** wiki.puella-magi.net -> old.puella-magi.net
::::** new.puella-magi.net -> wiki.puella-magi.net
::::* Make sure not found pages in new wiki have a link to old wiki.
 
:::: This way works too, but may be a little bit confusing on switchover. But either way: no content will be deleted. I plan to keep everything up as long as I could. -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 07:13, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:: I have the time (mostly late night or early afternoon) to help migrate to a new wiki. I am down for the effort. Also, I was considering starting the content for Magia Record but I'll hold off for now until we start a new wiki from scratch and then add that particular batch of content. Here's my couple of cents:--[[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] 06:56, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::* No speculation unless it's something with really strong evidence (and that kind of discussion can be done on walpurgischan.net rather than clutter up a wiki with things that aren't canon). "In-series observation and not a crazy theory (e.g. A may have something to do with Y) it should be OK." Completely agree with this.
:::* No fanart. It seems like a big waste of space, bandwith, and hotlinking as mentioned above. Also, much of it ends up being pretty irrelevant or non canon (yuri shipping or theoretical magical girl forms of witches)
:::* Languages would be fun to have as well. Especially since the show has a dub in several languages (and I speak spanish :3) ---[[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] 06:56, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
::Ah I see what you mean 0x99. Main reason why I asked about the sidebar is to reorganize it and be able to rename/add new works as they come such as Magica Record to keep everything up-to-date. I'm willing to help with the new wiki as much as I can. Should we divide up the work load like userA adds News related pages/media, userB adds stuff related to Tart, etc., etc.? -- [[User:The Witch&#39;s House|The Witch&#39;s House]] 07:08, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::Also, I know we've gone over the fact that fan art needs to go, but should we limit that in user pages too? (since I do have my own fan made content there...) --[[User:The Witch&#39;s House|The Witch&#39;s House]] 07:23, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::I'm not against it as long as it doesn't go crazy overboard (like 20+ images) [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] 07:41, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::I'm personally OK with posting them in user pages, as long as you have the permission to use them. (I know few fan artist who don't like us because all the reprinting without permission, resolving that would be a good thing too.) -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 08:19, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::::I meant stuff you made yourself (in my case, my fan witch on my page). I clearly mark them as fanwork so they don't clash of course. --[[User:The Witch&#39;s House|The Witch&#39;s House]] 08:58, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 
::::::In that case I think it should be fine! -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 04:51, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::::Did the whole yuri page had to be deleted? --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 03:04, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
::::::That was me. My apologies. I was trying to scrub off the speculation and mostly unfounded pages from the wiki before we all decided to get a proper discussion going. I think 0x99 said that the wiki is archived periodically so we should be able to revive the page for the purposes of this soon-to-be archived wiki and then we can better decide what analysis/speculation pages would be best to transfer to the new wiki (for example, the deciphering the runes / notes pages would probably be good to have, but a page of debunked theories not so much) [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] 03:25, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
::::::I've rollback the page to the version before blanking. -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 04:51, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
::I think dividing the workload for the transfer to a new wiki might work best. It would help to prevent us from tripping over each other in the beginning and then after the bulk of that is transferred we can then assign people/pairs/teams for the new content pages that will need to be created on the (new) wiki. 03:25, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::There's also the template tags stuff that need to be migrated. I can work on that although we need to list what templates are still needed and where (e.g. [[Template:Runes]], [[Template:Box]]). -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 04:57, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:Here's the migration plan I have right now after feedback from above discussion and from Meduka thread:
 
:# Create a new wiki at en.puella-magi.net on a new server.
:# Put up a banner in wiki.puella-magi.net call out for help migrating the wiki.
:# Migrate the wiki up to the point where most important pages are up (series, characters).
:# Put up a banner in wiki.puella-magi.net that it will become read-only in few weeks.
:# Make wiki.puella-magi.net read-only with a banner that this wiki is archived, please use a new wiki.
 
:In this plan, the old wiki would still remain at wiki.puella-magi.net in order to not break any existing links to the wiki. No further edits can be made after step 5, but the wiki will remain accessible. There will be a banner on top of page (similar to Google's Cached Pages) with a wording among the line of "This wiki is archived and the information may be out of date. For recent updates, please see en.puella-magi.net" directing the user to the new wiki. Under this scenario, there are few things that need to be considered/decided:
 
:* I'm not sure if migrating user is possible. In the worst case, you may need to re-register.
:* Should there be a new wiki theme to tell apart the new wiki from the old one? (Colors, etc?)
:* Replace talk page with [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Flow Flow]?
:* Contribution guidelines? (see below)
 
:Would love to hear what you think about it. Thanks! -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 19:05, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 
 
I think the new wiki should have a new theme (not exactly sure on colors, maybe (slightly) darker tones?) Maybe use one of these as the new theme instead of one of the end cards?
<gallery>
File:Madoka_Movie_1_Key_Visual_US.jpg
File:Madoka magica movie poster theater.jpg
</gallery>
 
I like that discussion page more so than the talk page; feels more organized and easier to read. [[User:The Witch&#39;s House|The Witch&#39;s House]] 22:58, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 
: So what's the status of the wiki reboot initiative? Sorry if my questions happened to kill the momentum.  - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 06:07, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 
::It's either a reboot or we go through all the pages one by one and start deleting fanart images that take up space. The wiki itself isn't so bad, so for me it's a toss up between clean up or a reboot. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] 05:03, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
 
:::Either way, cleaning up the fanarts make a lot of sense.  Thanks for the hard work! - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 19:44, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
 
:Any word on the cleanup progress? I've marked several pages for deletion, but as far as I'm aware the one thing we've agreed on is no fanart since it leads to too much hotlinking and the artists getting upset. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] 03:06, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 
: Switched job, turns out the new one managed to get me more busier than ever. I have the server deploy script ready, now waiting to coordinate things. Sorry for taking so long :( -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 14:46, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 
== Guidelines ==
 
Before doing anything, we should figure out exactly what guidelines the new wiki will follow first.  [[User:Sondenise]] suggested trimming away fanart, fanwork, and speculation.  If we're going with that, we should nail down exactly what fit into those categories.  Should [[Science]] and [[Architecture]] be trimmed because it's fanwork?  Should [[Population Dynamics]] be trimmed because it's speculative?  We have a great selection in [[Articles]] that are all various degrees of fanwork, will they have a place in the new "formal" wiki? 
 
At the minimum, I feel well written and edited analysis has a place in this wiki.  Pages like [[Math]] are among the most popular pages on this wiki, what got it the respect worldwide and in Japan.  It'll be a terrible mistake to remove them all in a rush to act formal.  This wiki was an authoritative source, not because it was official or up-tight, but because it was comprehensive and in-depth.  Let's avoid throwing the baby out with the bath water here. - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 03:45, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:Personally, I love the math stuff and analytic stuff in the wiki and think they should still be fine. Population dynamics is an amazing analysis work, an even the runes decryption actually are speculative (because official never actually give us an answer for that). I think the primary concern should be where to draw a line.  -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 04:51, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:Some of the pages need cleaning up in terms or reorganization or cosmetic editing for ease of reading but overall I think the pages listed in Articles should stay. They're important contributions and much of it is strongly relevant to the series overall. I think the stuff that primarily needs to go would be more of the Category:Speculah stuff than anything. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] 07:55, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
::What about [[Theories]]?  Some pages like [[Speculah:Let's Predict the Ending]] may be interesting to look back at in hindsight, even when wrong, as such worth preserving.  The problem here is without explicit standards, what's "strongly relevant" is vary from editor to editor. - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 13:06, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::FWIW, since we will be starting anew, content from old wiki (i.e. current wiki) would still be accessible from a different URL even after migration. -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 14:07, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::We won't lose the pages, they'll still remain here for anyone to see how fans reacted to Madoka when it was first coming out. But for the new wiki, are all those speculah pages really necessary? And which of those pages do we want to keep that we could consider as still relevant?[[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] 17:12, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
::::Documenting Speculah during the initial TV airing was an important to the wiki's growth and popularity.  I can see a case to archiving the old ones at the current interregnum, but are we just not going to allow speculah permanently?  What about if/when the Madoka sequel airs, will new speculah just be ignored?  I'm less worried about preserving specific pages, but more that we'll get started with the new wiki without a clear consensus and explicit standards on what will the new wiki cover. This entire process came about because of editor conflict.  We're going to get a lot more of that if we don't work out some clear guidelines first. - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 23:15, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 
:::::Just thinking out loud; if we use wiki-family, we can have separate wiki but with shared user accounts and assets to support speculation and fandom content. It would be treat in similar way to linking between languages. (Or similar to how Wikipedia - Wiktionary works.) -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 04:43, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 
* What is the line between Analysis and Speculah?
 
::* Well analysis has fact based evidence behind it and speculation sounds more like theories based on personal opinion. I suppose a good way of keeping both would be to put speculation about say, a new character, on it's own page marked speculation rather than add paragraph after paragraph of what later becomes clutter on the character's biography. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] 00:53, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 
* What criteria mark a [[Fanwork]] as sufficiently notable to be worthy of a wiki article?
* How much fanon belong in the new wiki? 
* What roles should the wiki play to help preserve history of the fandom?
 
::*If we keep the speculation and analysis on it's own page then it would be easier to archive those particular pages later when they're no longer relevant. Just an idea. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] 00:53, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 
==Yuri undertones page==
Like I've stated before, the wiki should not be propagating content that demeans and degrades the show itself. Crack shipping content does just that. I've also explained how people who support crack are factually not fans of the series by the very definition of the word, so the argument you made about the wiki being both "fan" and official is not valid.
 
It would be redundant to just repeat all the arguments here when they've been had at other places on this site. No one has addressed the arguments I've made that factually proof crack shipping is wrong and damaging to the fan base, so it's pretty rude and unfair to just undo what I did without giving any reason.
Please revert the changes back to how I made them, as it is now, you are supporting Darkblader, who is by far one of the worst people in existence. Notice how he screams at people that they're "ack" and how he never actually gives proof for anything he says? He's the only person who does this, and you can see in this thread where he's spamming porn on the girls from Madoka getting fucked by faceless men, he is also calling people "ack" with no proof and never explaining anything he says. WARNING THIS THREAD IS VILE, DO NOT OPEN UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE PROOF https://archived.moe/h/thread/4655180/#4655188 I can give tons more evidence at proof of who this person is, but it's not really relevant to the site. I just want people to understand what kind of person he is.
 
Now, if you'd please be so kind, tell me exactly what it will take to convince you that rabid shipping crack nonsense has no place here and damages the fan base. Tell me exactly what you need, and I will build my argument around that.[[User:EditingWizard|EditingWizard]] 19:57, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 
0x99, can you please reply to your e-mails.
 
: Like I said before: please don't remove contents from pages without discussing first. I didn't replied to your email because I was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_(software_development) sprinting] for the whole week, and less prioritized stuff like getting into arguments is the last thing I wanted to do. To answer your question: No. I don't buy into your arguments. -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 06:23, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 
I removed it to see if you would actually do something. Looks like I was right. I sent you multiple e-mails and you just flat out ignored them all you had to do was acknowledge them and just ask to wait. Ignoring people is rude. Literally a five word reply (after you tell people to discuss things) would have been enough. You tell people to discuss things, and then you refuse to do it. What do you expect other people do it.
 
And for the record, you're objectively wrong and it's actually insane how you think you can prove me wrong by just saying "you don't buy it". You didn't address a damn thing I said. How is that fair? Why do you get to shit up damage the fandom with no contest?
 
P.S. Just deleted something off the front page, because you clearly have some kind of warning sent to you when that happens.
 
Also, if you don't discuss this rationally with me and address my argument in full (when you have time), I will DDoS this site forever. Better than letting you be biased and damage the fanbase.

I want you to see the kind of person you are protecting.

Wiki upgrade

I've partially finished upgrading the wiki software to latest version and migrating the wiki to a better server (alongside with Walpurgischan). Due to this, there might be some stuff that broke, if you found anything please comment here and I'll try to fix it. The currently broken stuff I'm aware of are:

  • "Magica" theme is missing — likely going to take some time to fix, because there's some breaking changes in the base Vector theme.
  • Mathematics of Madoka Magica page is broken — not sure why, will have to debug.
  • Runes pages are not showing the rune — updated MediaWiki:Common.css but it doesn't seems to work. Do not sure why.

Since the Wiki now running the latest MediaWiki, I should now able to install newer extensions. If anyone have any request, please feel free to say so. Also regarding the cleanup we've discussed last year, since now the new server is done, we might be able to finally start, although it's a bit too late. Either way, sorry for being slow at everything, and thank you for your patience. --0x99 (talk) 23:29, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

* images.puella-magi.net is broken — I forgot about this and it currently broke all hotlinks. Will fix. --0x99 (talk) 23:53, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
Done fixing images.puella-magi.net. Runes issue seems to fix itself (caching issue?) --0x99 (talk) 07:55, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
Math should now be working: [math]\displaystyle{ e=mc^2 }[/math] (and should looked a lot better than before, when inlining) --0x99 (talk) 17:56, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
Restored the questy CAPTCHA (trivial question) during registration as it seems like the most effective way to combat against SPAM --0x99 (talk) 05:54, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Lazyload

I'm currently experimenting with Lazyload to see if it result in faster page load and whether it will reduce bandwidth usage for both server side and client side. Due to this, there might be a slight delay until images are displayed on page load. If it's not working out or found to be annoying, I will remove it. Please let me know what do you think. Thanks! --0x99 (talk) 16:54, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Nvm, this is proved to be more annoying and buggy than I'd hope (after half hour of browsing). I'm removing it. Sorry for the noise. --0x99 (talk) 17:24, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

User rights change

I've added User:Sondenise, User:Universalperson and User:The Witch's House to the administrator group in the wiki. The wiki administrator are a group of trusted users (in MediaWiki, "ultimate" admin permission is the configuration file) and can ban the user, lock the page, and edit stuff like MediaWiki:Sidebar (or other part of interface). This is to allow the current editors to be able to change things a bit more easily. Thank you! --0x99 (talk) 15:27, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much.--Universalperson (talk) 15:51, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
Awesome! Thank you so much! Sondenise (talk) 17:06, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
Congrats, you three and keep up the good work! Prima (talk) 05:36, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

@0x99

You said you would be removing all the crack shipping garbage from the "yuri undertones" page when you upgraded the site, what happened to this? --User:Temptemp (talk) 21:39, 6 April 2018‎ (UTC)

Since a complete renew of the wiki seems to not be happening anytime soon (due to reduced number of editors we have, and me being busy with RL), we will have to take another approach in cleaning up articles. However, considering the Wiki's root (4chan), we cannot simply delete the page either. This is very likely resulting in subjective/fan content having its own section, completely isolated from the rest of the site. Please feel free to suggest if you have any ideas. --0x99 (talk)
