[02:45:05] i thought you outsourced skye to random people on skype [02:45:32] me when i wanna grab all the benefits of being a volunteer without the effort [02:46:55] you're still volunteering to not volunteer [02:47:24] ergo we are all volunteers [02:49:58] yippy [04:04:48] :ThinkerMH: [04:24:11] I like your wiki's design. [05:47:23] Rock. [06:05:11] unga bunga [06:05:15] kill mammoth [06:23:09] rock and stone [07:20:37] ROCK AND STONE!!! [11:48:49] dude, what is going on with south american governments having like the worst email security ever? [11:49:37] I've now received the second spam email sent from a south american government server, like wth [11:50:17] and yes, they are from those servers, SPF passes from a government domain [11:51:44] First one was from a local PD in a certain country, this one is from a state government in another certain country, like god damn. [11:52:29] I keep reporting these to the appropiate contacts, but since noone ever gets back to me, I wonder if there is even someone on the other side who gives a damn [17:20:28] i just saw grokiledia in search results [17:22:20] Ew [18:59:25] [1/5] Still trying to think of a good way to make navboxes for characters on Equestripedia given the sheer scope at this point. Ideas I'm toying with: [18:59:25] [2/5] * Based off the season/year of debut. Problem with this is it's hard to sort by more notable characteristics. [18:59:26] [3/5] * Based off the town they live in. Problem with this is a lot of minor characters are routinely spotted in numerous towns and don't have official residences. [18:59:26] [4/5] * Based off their species. There are 2000+ named pony characters but almost every other species is ~100. It'd be unbalanced. [18:59:26] [5/5] * Based off organization or membership. Works great with students and employees of notable schools and companies. Less so for most minor named characters. [19:00:47] man sometimes i wish i ran a wiki dedicated to a video game so this stuff would be less confusing lol [20:16:31] slopedia [20:28:57] [1/2] I would prefer standard wiki page rather than navboxes. [20:28:57] [2/2] Navboxes aren't designed to handle 2000+ characters in a group [20:44:50] I would just use category systems [20:46:15] Yeah that’s why I’m trying to condense them as much as possible as reasonably can [20:46:30] I don’t know what you mean by standard wiki page though [20:48:44] create a page then use headings and sub-headings to list all of them [20:49:57] or multiple pages then put categories on them [21:10:18] yeah i plan on doing that too for the entire list. [21:10:38] I'm jus trying to find a reasonable method for navigational boxes that doesnt have bloat.

[23:32:28] Navbox with collapsible sections would be my default rec, though it sounds like you're messing with something so unwieldy that DPL isn't a good fit either [23:38:28] [1/3] Based off of season sounds like a good idea. As NA said, navboxes have several layers of nesting, so you could do a second layer that emphasizes notable characters. We have something like it but without as many characters [23:38:28] [2/3] https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Template:Kivotos [23:38:28] [3/3] Note that if you have non-trivial entries for each character (e.g. an image), you will run out of `Post-expand include size` pretty fast. [23:40:19] [1/2] And then on wiki pages we show both a small but more informative navbox and a complete one below [23:40:19] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1457519041404076083/image.png?ex=695c4be2&is=695afa62&hm=6e873e3472546c95f1a0fa30e9d815c60e3fe3ebdf6b09c9678f0786ed7eafbd&
