ALittleSlow's To-Do List

Things jotted down as I think of them, that don't belong in Brickwiki:To-do list.

• Figure out how to do Brickwiki:Conventions#Citations properly. 2012-05-25.

* Move the ToDo List to a separate page as it's not just YOUR todo list, some of us can help. For example surely one of us can do the ImageBoxExt template work. :) ++Lar: t/c 07:14, 6 June 2012 (CDT)

I've been debating that with myself for some time. It did start out as just my list, but has outgrown that. --ALittleSlow 09:56, 6 June 2012 (CDT) complete ALittleSlow 11:53, 6 June 2012 (CDT).

* Propose a category of pages [[Trustees]] should watch? ALittleSlow 12:51, 7 June 2012 (CDT)

Sorry to drop in on your list but I am fixing the link above using nowiki to keep it out of error reports as we decided to go a different route. Tedward 17:30, 28 June 2012 (CDT)

Whoops, I realized you were just trying to link to the Trustees page, sorry. Tedward 17:32, 28 June 2012 (CDT)

No prob, and yes, this one is obsolete. --ALittleSlow 11:43, 29 June 2012 (CDT)

• Add some layers of protection to Combat spam so we can lighten up the ConfirmAccount restriction.

  • Blacklists ALITTLESlow: t/c 18:16, 4 August 2012 (CDT)

Blog

On a wiki-break for 7 or 8 days. --ALITTLESlow: t/c 19:38, 28 July 2012 (CDT)

I'm back. It's good to see ClaudeBombarde is active again. --ALITTLESlow: t/c 18:14, 4 August 2012 (CDT)

Re:Conference thing

Hey, I can't do it myself at that time, but I'll see if one of the other admins/users could make it to that. Ajraddatz 16:20, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! How's the move/launch going? I didn't see any announcements on lego.wikia.com. Is this going to be more of a fork than a relocation?

Wikia won't let us relocate, so it is a fork. They won't even let us advertise the move O_o

Fortunately, we have Brickset and a couple of other very popular sites that are going to advertise the new site for us for a while anyway. Almost all of the community is moving over too, including all of the major content editors, so we'll have the best info out of the two wikis. Eventually, I hope that the visitors move over as well. Ajraddatz 23:32, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Wow, shades of WikiTravel... surprised Wikia is taking this position, given their close(ish) ties to WMF, which just fought the other side of that battle with Internet Brands. 21:26, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Wikia has long abandoned any hint of what is traditionally considered a "wiki". They've completely monetized all of the content on their sites with endless ads, and have a nearly-perfect track record of not listening to the communities they host. But, their (basically non-existent current) connection with Wikimedia gives them all of the Google search results, meaning that they continue to get more readers and editors despite their model of customer dis-service. Needless to say I have some strong feelings on the matter. Ajraddatz 01:22, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Back to the conference topic, Ajraddatz, any luck finding someone who like to present with me? Or failing that, any promotional material you'd like me to share? Brickworld is just two weeks away. Presentation is on Friday, June 14 at 2:00 CST (the after lunch crowd :O). ALITTLESlow: t/c 22:47, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

GBC Thanks

Loving the new GBC category. Good work! Tedward 15:11, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
