General

• Photobucket no longer works for images.

  Do we want to keep hotlinking to external files enabled? This adds additional load to other peoples' sites, which we can easily support here. Without hotlinking, it makes it slightly harder for spambots to put up "unwanted" images, and allows us to categorize and add info about the licenses properly. -- Prod 17:06, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

  I think linking to Photobucket is very convienient for things that only have one time use, or for talk bubble pictures. I'm against disabling it; keeping Photobucket and internal images is my vote. --—SilverCrono^[T/C] 18:36, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

• Editcount doesn't work.

  Do we really need to know edit counts of each user? You can view your own edit counts within your user preferences (suffer from closet editcountitis ^_^), and compare them if you want. -- Prod 17:06, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

  I agree. Measuring edits creates more vanity and competition than is necessary. --— Radical D ^{(bother \ stalk)} 17:21, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

• Decide on sysop/bureaucrat policy.

  Decide what? Why must this change? --—SilverCrono^[T/C] 18:36, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

• Do we continue the walkthrough space, or move those to strategywiki (focus on encyclopedia information) and form a strong partnership.

  Um...I say continue walkthrough space. --—SilverCrono^[T/C] 18:36, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

• Re-purpose Chrono Wiki Facebook page from Wikia, or start a new one.

  I'll redirect the facebook page into this wikia. I'll make a message of it to the 98+ fans on there as well. Zey^pher 18:49, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

• Keep User blog space, or just drop it and consider deleting existing pages
• Delete all page comments?
• Reconfigure all permissions for various groups
• Deyvid Petteys and Zeypher need their user rights.

Coding

• Main page column codes don't work.

  Pretty sure this was specific to wikia. StrategyWiki has some column templates that can be used (check Template:Col), or if only for the main page, then it can just be hardcoded. -- Prod 17:06, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

• <choose> and <option> no longer work.
• <poll> doesn't work.
• <poem> doesn't work.
• <imagemap> doesn't work.

Images

• No images moved have categories or summaries attached.

  Artifact of the move, since there is no clean way to transwiki images. The bot's edits should all be at the top though, it's just a matter of rolling back its edits. We need to figure out a controlled way of doing this so we don't miss any. -- Prod 17:22, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

  We could start with the site images (logos,etc.), then move through each name space. Starting with the Chrono Trigger Category, and the first item in that category, then move to the subcategories. Once that's done, move to the next namespace and repeat the process until we've fixed them all. As of right now though, I can't rollback, but I'll help out anyway that I can. --— Radical D ^{(bother \ stalk)} 17:31, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

• All images have weird photobucket links next to them.

  Do you have an example? I can't seem to find one. -- Prod 17:39, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

Skins

• Decide if we need a completely new custom skin, or modify an existing skin.

  Well, Monobook is already completely customized, and I believe Dolphin can be customized to look like old Chrono Wiki's Oasis, so I'm all for modifying existing skins. We don't need to get any more, we have plenty already. --—SilverCrono^[T/C] 18:36, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

• Pick a few "supported" skins (with one main default skin) and disable the rest.

  I don't think this is necessary; deleting optional skins seems a lot like Wikia in that we are disabling choice and user preferences. I definitely don't think we need useless, barebones skins like Chick, Simple, or MySkin, but deleting things like Modern or Dolphin sounds a bit harsh. --—SilverCrono^[T/C] 18:36, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

• All skins: the Forum link in the sidebar is broken.
• In BlueCloud, the Toolbox has links with "<" and ">" appearing, making reading impossible.
• In BlueCloud, a link for uploading images is not easily accessible.
• In Power, navigation templates display awkward white backgrounds, when they should be transparent. (Could be fixed by rewritting templates).

  I would suggest avoiding Power, as it's based on Monobook, and I don't think purple is really a chrono colour :). -- Prod 17:36, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

  But it's my favorite Dx. Edit: Now using BlueCloud, since it's pretty popular and looks nice. Another bug with Power are the buttons. Publish, preview, and save are oblong land misshapen. --— Radical D ^{(bother \ stalk)} 17:40, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

Comments

• I did a re-sync just before we made the announcement about this site being "ready". I'm hoping that was the last one required unless there is some very important reason why we need another. However, this didn't include the image space, so any new images in the last week will need to be done manually. -- Prod 17:38, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

  Cool! Because I planned to manually transfer over those edits anyway. You just saved me an hour! :)--— Radical D ^{(bother \ stalk)} 17:40, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

  Got pretty much everything before - this. -- Prod 17:44, 6 August 2011 (CDT)
