JC the Builder: You seem to be to have quite an extensive UO knowledge/history and drive to document the game. Please reconsider contributing your knowledge at UOStuff.com. I was honest about the timing of UOStuff.com updating and expanding. We (the UO Community) would be honored to have your contributions. -Quaz'r
Full Conversation : UOGuide vs UOStuff
talk
and you don't even have a user page yet? :P
So, how long is this wiki in progress so far.
- what are your goals,
- what kind of server,
- how much wiki editing knowledge do you consider yourself capable of,
- are you planning any google ads to keep it running,
- and how many admins does the site have so far. ?
UOStuff doesn't see much activity in edits lately, i can agree on that... Though wouldn't it make sense to merge the efforts of the 2 projects somehow?
i must warn you i'm a chaotic editor / admin, but can get some interesting stuff done ;)
UO is not currently my main focus [1], though i can help in some areas.
- BBR talk / cont 06:17, 15 November 2006 (PST)
- I have been focusing more on site content then anything else, that is the most important thing right now.
- My goal is to build an enclopedia for UO. At present time, the focus has been to keep up with current publishes. Then to work backwards from there to fill out the site.
- UOGuide is currently hosted on a shared server, but will upgrade to dedicated when needed. I already understand a lot about hosting after managing the HOT Guild Website and forum for a couple years now. Right now, the site is up all the time and the speed is adaquate.
- I have learned a lot about Wiki editing, and am constantly reviewing the help pages on Wikipedia when I want to know more about something. Actually I just refreshed myself on the indentation syntax so I could reply to your comment in the proper way.
- The plan is to run this site ad free. The hosting is already pre-paid until next June or July. If the costs increase, donations or other means will be looked into for funding.
- Currently, I am the only administrator. The plan is make the most active contributors administrators of the site.

sig
You need to make yourself a proper sig ;) check my userpage for a how-to.
- btw, as you can see, i'll start off with the Directory, and relevant categories and templates, it'll give you a base to expand upon.
- The blue banner on the left, appears to be 2 lines of text too small currently - BBR talk / cont 01:51, 16 November 2006 (PST)
MD
btw, imo Markeedragon should be removed from the fansites..
i've been boycotting them myself for a long time now, as they are providing illegal third party software, and botting software for World of Warcraft, they probably won't care much about their legal activities in UO. - BBR talk / cont 02:20, 16 November 2006 (PST)
- I want to keep the official fansite links the same as on the official fansite page on UO.com. You and I might not like it, but until his site is removed (if ever) it has to stay. I want UOGuide to be as objective as possible. -- JC the Builder 08:32, 16 November 2006 (PST)
ext
Plenty available [2], just depends what you want to expand. Maybe the googlesearch extension? - BBR talk / cont 23:46, 4 December 2006 (PST)
- I don't want to add extensions for the sake of it. The current search seems to do a good job as is. -- JC the Builder 08:53, 5 December 2006 (PST)
Quest Characters
I'm thinking those don't belong under Monsters. Maybe under Quests? --Cogniac 21:40, 29 December 2006 (PST)
- Yeah, they probably don't. If you can think of a better layout or something needs to be put on a new page, just do it at this point (with the exception of the main page). Later on when the site is more established, major changes will be discussed in depth. JC the Builder 22:25, 29 December 2006 (PST)
- I figure I'll move it once I get out of the Animals section, which obviously might take a while. Hehe. --Cogniac 22:36, 29 December 2006 (PST)
Page links
Yeah. I've been experimenting with the amount of links on certain pages. You should've seen it in earlier versions! I had totally linked up the italicized Lore sections in Races and the tables on such pages as Arms Lore and Item Id, until I realized that both looked terrible. I have so far thought up three linking conventions: no links in tables (still wondering about the links in Template:Creatures), no links in italicized text, and no links within quotations. Other than that, I'm still going back and forth on the number of links in some pages, so it's a work in progress. --Cogniac 19:24, 30 December 2006 (PST)
400 pages
Just posted Lava Snake, which happened to be page #400. --Cogniac 20:27, 31 December 2006 (PST)
- Arg! I was going to post the 400th page =[ - JC the Builder 20:29, 31 December 2006 (PST)
- Haha My bad. Just saw your creation description. Hehe. =P --Cogniac 20:33, 31 December 2006 (PST)
vandal
any way to edit / block that recent vandal's name and or ip?
because of the name he's somehow not showing up as a normal user. - BBR talk / cont 04:55, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- Yeah, there is some bug in the privacy shield modification I did. SysOps are supposed to see the IP. I will look into it in the near future. If he does anything again I am just going to pull his IP from the database directly so he can be banned. - JC the Builder 18:11, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- Could you deal with him somehow, so he at least has a "name", and not special:contributions - BBR talk / cont 11:42, 21 January 2007 (PST)
