We should make the official cut-off date for edits this upcoming Monday. That way, other editors will have time to log on, read through this forum post, so they can prepare themselves. I'll start rollingback any edit I see on that day, just so you know. Should we rollback all talk page, user page, and user talk edits as well? Or should I simply "Undo" the edits so users can see it in the Wiki Activity feed as well? (Since anons view it in Oasis and not Monobook). That way, I could post a reason and they'd see why it was reverted? I have a feeling we'll end up locking pages because edit wars will explode. --—[[User:Deyvid Petteys| <span style="color:#4B0082; font face=Edwardian Script ITC;">Radical D </span>]] <small> [[User talk:Deyvid Petteys| <span style="color:#BA55D3; text-shadow: yellow 0 0 4px 4px;"> <sup>(bother \ </sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Deyvid Petteys|<span style="color:#BA55D3; text-shadow: yellow 0 0 4px 4px;"> <sup>stalk)</sup></span>]]</small>  04:08, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Don't really know what to say on that, but I've got another conversation that'll be worth hearing.
<pre>
[23:15:34] <Prodi> (SilverCrono): was talking to the golden sun wiki guys
[23:15:38] <SilverCrono> ya?
[23:15:42] <Prodi> they kept the same name as before
[23:15:45] <Prodi> or something like it
[23:15:51] <Prodi> "golden sun universe"
[23:15:55] <Prodi> try getting to their wiki
[23:16:05] <SilverCrono> ?
[23:16:27] <Prodi> if i told you about a wiki, how would you find it?
[23:18:38] <Prodi> i'd google it
[23:18:54] <SomeColorMage> Well, if you didn't give a URL, most people would Google it
[23:19:13] <Prodi> strategywiki's #1 search term is "strategy wiki"
[23:19:45] <Prodi> but when i search for golden sun universe
[23:19:50] <Prodi> the main wikia shows up first
[23:20:04] <Prodi> and then a few entries down the independent one shows up
[23:20:36] <SomeColorMage> Which is a shame, as the Wikia one is quite literally dead
[23:21:00] <Prodi> i think it might be better for chrono to pick a new name
[23:21:07] <Prodi> rather than sticking to chronopedia
[23:21:13] <Prodi> especially if the editors are on board
[23:21:24] <SomeColorMage> Also, this is one case where
[23:21:50] <SomeColorMage> Wikia is right, the "-pedia" titles are overdone and kinda tacky
[23:22:02] <Prodi> :P
[23:22:58] <SomeColorMage> Oh hey, Wikia's home page for once does not have any goddamn Glee on it
[23:23:02] <Prodi> something like 8% of strategywiki's traffic is from direct usage (bookmarks etc)
[23:24:34] <Prodi> (SilverCrono): i'd recommend picking a different name
[23:30:25] <Prodi> anywayz, i'm off to bed soon
[23:30:31] <Prodi> may want to discuss with the other editors
[23:30:34] Prodi [~a@CPE0026f33339fe-CM0026f33339fa.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] is now known as Prod[a]
[23:34:56] <SomeColorMage> I wonder how much updating content factors into Google's formula
[23:36:34] <SomeColorMage> Not enough if GSU is still low on rankings compare to the Golden Sun Wikia
[23:39:52] <SilverCrono> alright, I'm back
[23:39:55] <SilverCrono> ...dammit
[23:40:25] <Prod[a]> i'm still kinda around....
[23:40:33] <SilverCrono> oh, cool
[23:40:34] <Prod[a]> wrapping some stuff up
[23:40:36] <SilverCrono> okay
[23:40:42] <SilverCrono> um... I'll see what we can come up with
[23:40:53] <SilverCrono> any specific time frame for the move yet?
[23:41:19] <Prod[a]> been trying to get in touch with one of the other guys who runs stuff on our end
[23:41:26] <Prod[a]> he's in europe atm so a bit hard to reach XD
[23:41:34] <SilverCrono> olos ok
[23:41:42] <Prod[a]> give me a name, and i'll see if i can push it along
[23:43:25] <SilverCrono> ok, uh... right now? or after wiki discussion?
[23:43:32] <Prod[a]> whenever
[23:43:38] <Prod[a]> email me at prod@abxy.org
[23:43:49] <Prod[a]> i check that all the time
[23:43:56] <Prod[a]> or if you see me around
[23:43:58] <Prod[a]> whatever works for you
[23:43:59] <SilverCrono> ok
[23:44:20] <Prod[a]> but be warned, moving off wikia won't be that smooth :P
[23:44:26] <SomeColorMage> If you're opening a wiki discussion, can I have a link so I can follow developments in what's going on?
[23:44:27] <SilverCrono> I know <<
[23:44:27] <Prod[a]> will take a bit of time to get things cleaned up
[23:45:05] <SilverCrono> my email is apmasta@ymail.com
[23:45:11] <SilverCrono> SomeColorMage: http://chrono.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:New_Wiki
[23:45:22] <SomeColorMage> Thank you
</pre>
Sorry if its long. And Radical, um, I would say every page should be locked, and rollback every edit. We want everything to be as smooth as possible. If people read this (like they should be), there should be no problems. --{{SC/Sig}} 05:05, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
