On Github, we get immediate notifications that "Person X made commit Y", which allows to react immediately.
The edits on wiki can be made silently which leads to people noticing days/months later that wtf happened... or is there a notification system, for at least those who would want to subscribe to a specific page changes?
Game Rules in Wiki
Re: Game Rules in Wiki
That's a very good point. You can add a wiki page to your "watchlist" which then notifies you of changes. Click the arrow to the right of "View history" on the page you wish to track.v0id wrote:On Github, we get immediate notifications that "Person X made commit Y", which allows to react immediately.

As far as I know MediaWiki offers e-mail notifications for items on your watch list. This is either available by default or via plugin, depending on the MediaWiki version.

Re: Game Rules in Wiki
Yeah, but then they are on an external site and we have maintian links and such where as if they are in the code and reference per the github website via path would be much easier to maintain. So would thinks like mob/item pages as well.
The secret to getting all the important stuff done is doing nothing.
Re: Game Rules in Wiki
I'll point out that the entire list of people with wiki admin access: https://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php ... roup=sysop
And not everyone who has contributed to TMW can actually push directly to the repositories. That list is: https://github.com/themanaworld?tab=members (though some of them are hidden unless you're logged in as one of them - there are 11 in total).

Re: Game Rules in Wiki
Why are you making this into a big deal o11c? Aren't you supposed to trust the other TMWC members not to change rules that have existed since the beginning of this game? Can't you put the tiniest bit of faith into someone running the new website not to make changes to them? That's the purpose of TMWC, to unite a group of people but instead you guys are letting it go to your heads and making yourselves into self made martyrs.
Sit down and work what ever issues you guys clearly have out already and stop bringing your pissing contests to the forums. It's making TMWC and the game as a whole look petty and childish. Quit squabbling with each other, get rid of the chafe and start working on making the game better...not worse.

Because allowing players who break rules to point to the wiki and say "but the wiki says it's okay" *is* a big deal.Dyna wrote:Why are you making this into a big deal o11c?
The problem with putting the game rules on the wiki is that some wiki admins are *not* TMWC members. I do not have a security problem with putting the rules in git or elsewhere on the website.Dyna wrote:Aren't you supposed to trust the other TMWC members not to change rules that have existed since the beginning of this game?
Also, the game rules *have* changed several times in the past. The most recent change was almost exactly 2 years ago.
Do you think I don't know that? But I have realized that there is nothing I can do, certain people will criticize me regardless of what I actually do or don't do.Dyna wrote:Sit down and work what ever issues you guys clearly have out already and stop bringing your pissing contests to the forums.

Re: Game Rules in Wiki
The only problem is that you vandalized existing attempt (pissing off some editor in process) and failed to provide better solutions, mumbling some crap about you'll do it "later" and putting some weird link to code (the only thing such action could achieve is that some people would doubt mental health of person who does such actions).o11c wrote:Because allowing players who break rules to point to the wiki and say "but the wiki says it's okay" *is* a big deal.
