User talk:Fritigern

Revision as of 13:48, 1 August 2011

Talk to the Friti, my dear!

Before leaving me a message: find out a little about how to edit a wiki.

Need to delete a page? NEVER blank the page. Instead, use the {{delete}} template, so that the sysops can completely delete the page if THEY feel it is justified.

When is deletion of a page justified? If a page answers to one or more of the following criteria:

1. Typo in page name. Ex. MyPagee, instead of MyPage
2. Wrong namespace. Ex John_Doe, instead of User:John_Doe
3. Spam. Ex, a page with the name "Eat At Joe's", when the wiki is not food related.
4. Vandalism. Ex. Pages created in large quantities, for the purpose of making information on the wiki hard to find.
5. Vanity. There's no reason why a user should create a page called "John Doe", when he already has a page at "User:John_Doe".

If the information is out of date, UPDATE the info, do not delete the page, nor have it deleted. People rely on this wiki for help, do not derive them of the information they need by deleting info, no matter how outdated it is.

In fact, some people may even NEED this outdated info! There may still be people out there, running 0.5.x (or older!) as a standalone server for whatever reason there may be (hardware incompatibility, fear of upgrading, whatever).

Therefore, do not remove outdated, or obsolete info, but update it. Or better yet, archive it, and make a new page with a revision number. That way, there will be up-to-date info, and at the same time, older info is preserved for those who need it.

Quick info for you.

As you like to update things, have a look at this link  http://opensimulator.org/viewgit/?a=commit&p=opensim&h=b512ecd1dc538f029e6772f526db78eb6687d938

These are the changes that have come into place as of today.

Have Fun.

Thanks!

Hey Fritigern, thanks a lot for all the work you've been doing on the wiki. As reward/punishment, you are now a sysop :). You may also want to put your name in the wiki sysop section of Development Team - Justincc 15:25, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

About ossl script examples

I was totally ignorant about the discussion in Imprudence chat (I haven't accessed it ever) . Sorry for misassumption. I'll use your advise for the next time. I am open for both discussions AND accusations. Beat me until you are satisfied! *grin* BTW, I'll add the credit of Aurora SIM on the sample later if I have time to do that since they have respected in treating our codebase improvement and inserted our credit on their git log. Happy editing! -- Makopoppo 13:42, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

As far as i am concerned, this is where the discussion ends. Of any good came of this, ot will be the we just got to know each other better. :-)

For "knowing each other better", I can't still understand you deleting all the discussion on this topic after it seems to have "ended". It had some valuable evidence to prove the rightness your action or so. Honestly I just felt disappointed, but it is your page. You have the right to delete them all. So it is okay ... Beat me again ... -- Makopoppo 21:48, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Notepad++

The topic that never ends... ;)   Just a quick update, as I don't know where your hanging new pages etc...   but I have updated the Notepad++ userdef for LSL this morning.  It contains not only all the most current LSL from LL, all the OSSL and of course Aurora's AA, BOT functions are also in there along with all teh required constants etc.   Notepad++ is available from here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/   and the userdef is located here: http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/commun/userDefinedLang/NPP_LSL_Language.zip  which contains a text file on how to add the def into NPP.   --WhiteStar 18:53, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

I think the best place for this would be under this subsection of the Scripting page. No need to create a new page for this. :-)

P.S. Maybe it would be best not to use the WYSIWYG editor, it tends to not respect wiki formatting, thus damaging the page in the process. This damage can be fixed, but that's not a fun job.
