arsenal_2111 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 You're welcome, all this new tech stuff is a bit overwhelming :o Yeah, Wikispaces was simpler. But this looks a lot better, more professional. I've finished the Arsenal page bar a logo, can someone check it out to make sure it's alright please? Also did a bit on the Premier League page, so I have something to link it to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 How do I enable uploading? File uploads are an often-used feature of MediaWiki, but are disabled by default in all current release versions. To enable them, first make the upload directory (default images) writable by the web server (chmod 777 or allow the Apache user to write to it, etc.) then set $wgEnableUploads to true in LocalSettings.php (i.e. "$wgEnableUploads = true;"). See Manual:Configuring file uploads for more information. From that it looks like only JJay will be able to change the settings for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 From that it looks like only JJay will be able to change the settings for it. What on earth did that mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 What on earth did that mean. Basically it means JJay has to change the setting from false to true in the LocalSettings file that he will have wherever he is hosting it. Another good thing with this is we can change the skin from the few that are available to suit our individual tastes rather than one that we all want.

arsenal_2111 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yeah, the first thing I did was try other skins. The original is easily the best. What do people think of the Arsenal [and now Chelsea] page? Is it alright? If so I will do more tonight. Also, are we going to get a proper badge?

Maybe if we put wiki in fancy writing under it, for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'd prefer if we had our own unique badge tbh. But if we can't get one, then I'd have no problem using the SI logo if we had permission. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to make edits there then run and hide behind the sofa I used to as well but haven't contributed for a long time. There was a lot of debate on Wikipedia. The layout of pages whether they were important to be on it in the first place and other things often caused huge debate. Oh and I said earlier that you have to upload the images to use them. You actually don't. We still can't link them externally yet though as JJay has to enable that as well if we want it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsenal_2111 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I've finished Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United(which took A LOT of work) and Wigan. Seeing as the new Wiki has been made by all of us, should we change the introduction a bit? At the moment it says This Football Manager Wiki has been set up to give fans of the multi-platform management game a chance to learn things about the game, and find out all they need to know to run a succesful team.The set-up was also largely to do with a request at the SI Forums in a thread by CaptainPlanet. We saw that the majority wanted a wiki page set up and I thought I would take it upon myself to create one. I hope that the users who decide to create articles here will do so with utmost maturity, and will post only in subjects of which they have knowledge of. I thought I would keep it short and sweet and let you read on about the more important things: Football Manager. I think the second sentence needs changing a little, to give us all a little credit instead of just peter. Who fully deserves the credit, fwiw, for creating the first one.

snootyjim Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I agree, but I think to be honest the whole front page / introduction could probably do with gutting. Eventually it would be nice to see a structured page with various panels like you would for a typical gamewiki, and all of that type of information from above could be moved into its own 'About Wiki' page or similar. Hence, maybe it's better to leave it for now, and wait until there's something more substantial in the way of pages whose links can then be used to populate the main page?
