Path of Exile Wiki talk:Community portal/Archive 1

The Community Portal is the place where Wiki editors discuss issues on the Wiki. It's frequently used to talk about the project as a whole, and to initiate large-scale changes on the Wiki.

Languages

MediaWiki software has a built-in format for handling different languages; see here for documentation of the features. In particular, each page will have automatic links to any translations of it available in other languages, if you have it set up correctly.

I do not have a lot of experience with the language features of MediaWiki, but I strongly recommend that you use them instead of simple sub-paging. From what I have seen, they will save you a lot of headaches in the future. — DragoonWraith • Talk • 04:24, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Page Deletions

I know sifting through bot-generated nonsense articles is our beloved admin's favorite thing to do, but if we had some patrollers/trusted editors with page-deletion rights, we could work out the spam until we have the appropriate amount of spam/bot blocking. This would also help move pages around as they probably don't contain any meaningful meta-data yet, and some people have been asking about deleting their own work. We don't even have a deletion template yet do we? We need a deletion template for articles which don't require immediate removal. That's simply a template which people can stick on a page to make the page appear in its own category and also points others to a discussion about deleting it. Ionface 07:20, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
