The AC2 Wiki

[ete]

Put http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Bug_list/Bingmann up, did some organizing, needs more.

[ete]

A load of minor organizational improvements and http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Alphax.txt_editing up (including a section commented out of the CGN version, and with numerous formatting improvements).

[ete]

http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Category:Text_files up.

[ete]

I'm going to be on low activity for a while, maybe several weeks. I'll respond to PMs still, but probably no major wiki work for a while.

Also set up: http://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Alpha_Centauri_Wiki

[ete]

http://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Alpha_Centauri_Wiki now does weekly automatic backups of all current pages.

Not including spambot pages I hope? 

[ete]

we have spambot pages? since when?

We had like one spambot, then I set up anti spam measures. And as far as I can see, nothing's got through.

http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Special:Log/delete You see that one page deleted right near the start with reason  ‎(our first spambot)? Nothing since then.

Wikis get spammed when the guys with configuration access get lazy. With a little effort, virtually all can't get in. Especially to this wiki where you can only edit via a SMF account.

A good time to mention that my consolidation of the damage and repair articles is probably temporary. They didn't make sense as they were but probably need to be slit again before the first draft is finished.

Tell me about it. At another wiki I'm deleting two years spamming backlog. Once done (still have half a year to do), I intend to tell the admin the work that was done, and if he pretty please now would consider implenting a sign-up block and deleting all the marked spambot handles.

I went on a bit of a categorization/editing spree: http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Ete

Now you can do things like:
http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Category:Factions_with_free_facility (handy for if you're looking for something with a specific free facility)
http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Category:Factions_with_free_ability (surprisingly underused, only two custom factions use it!)
http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Category:Factions_with_increased_max_base_size
http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Category:Factions_with_extra_Talents
http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Category:Factions_with_reduced_max_base_size

http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Category:Factions_by_social_engineering and http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Category:Factions_by_political_preferences have been improved, with Robust, Immunity, Impunity, and Penalty now being categorized, and it's now easier to compare how many factions support/are opposed to each SE setting (very few factions support Police State and Wealth while very few factions are opposed to Knowledge, Cybernetic, and Thought Control!).

Doing this has allowed me to find eight factions which are misusing Penalty on a things like Planet rather than things like Green.

[Buster's Uncle]

Excellent!

This is exactly the sort of thing I had in mind when I proposed indexing the Network Node factions.  You've done a man's job, sir!

[ete]

Still a lot of factions to go before it's done, but good to have more or the structure ready. I should make it work like that for techs too... let's do that.

http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Category:Factions_with_starting_technology
http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Category:Factions_without_starting_technology

Oh, yea, this post. Glad you appreciate it, I've found it a helpful resource even for just my own use.

Is there anything in particular you'd like to be able to search by in more detail? I can set this kind of categorization up for basically anything.

[ete]

Also, made an almost full backup (edit history+all pages, everything important but images which I have on my comp and Google Drive already) of the wiki just in case.

Also, planning to update the software on monday, need sisko's access.

[ete]

Actually.. I think I can update it. I'll make a backup in a different form first, and we're slightly behind the suggested PHP version, but it should be doable. Doing it now means I can use the existing text backup, which is annoying to create in the current version (but easy to create in the new version!) and means I've got time to configure it properly, after monday my activity will drop a bit for a while.
