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:
- Typo in page name. Ex. MyPagee, instead of MyPage
- Wrong namespace. Ex John_Doe, instead of User:John_Doe
- Spam. Ex, a page with the name "Eat At Joe's", when the wiki is not food related.
- Vandalism. Ex. Pages created in large quantities, for the purpose of making information on the wiki hard to find.
- 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If the information is out of date, UPDATE the info, do not delete the page, nor have it deleted. People rely on this wiki for help, do not derive them of the information they need by deleting info, no matter how outdated it is.
In fact, some people may even NEED this outdated info!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Therefore, do not remove outdated, or obsolete info, but update it.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)
