User talk:Lieutenant S. Reznov

Hello!
Looks like you've got a nice setup here. Since this is a historical wiki, I'd like to help add some stuff to make setting that up easier, so if I could be an admin I'd be happy to get right on that.

In fact, I recommend the following extensions and setting for a historical wiki if they do not exist at present:


 * Instant Commons enabled
 * ImageMap (useful for map/atlas pages)
 * Babel (useful for editors in proclaiming their language proficiency)
 * SubPageList3 (useful for creating subpages listing on pages, recommended due to having less overall issues than SubPageList in my experience)

Those are just a few I can think of, but if you guys want some help, let me know what I can do for you. Arcane (talk) 15:32, 23 May 2014 (EDT)
 * Welcome and thanks for the list! Instant Commons is enabled and is actually the only source of images for the moment.  It reduces the whole can of worms that you open by allowing file uploads.  I suppose there might be some non free images that people might want to upload that can't be added to the commons, but it should be fine long term, at least for a historical wiki.  Those all look like useful extensions, and they are listed as being used on Wikimedia, so they should be fine.  I was also thinking about giving you admin access.  Just be very conservative about blocking since limiting adminship is one of the ideas I have for preventing editing cabals from abusing policy and consensus to block users who run counter to their efforts.

 * I'm fine with that. I mostly wanted admin access for technical reasons, such as adding gadgets, importing templates, that sort of thing. Also, I recommend adding the Tabber extensions as well. Arcane (talk) 15:55, 23 May 2014 (EDT)
 * I also added you as a reviewer, since it's needed to approve technical changes to articles and any revisions to the main page. This page has the guidelines for using it and how to approve technical edits.  Lieutenant S. Reznov (talk) 16:05, 23 May 2014 (EDT)

Skin you may wish to add
You may wish to add the Monaco skin by Dantman. It does have some mild display errors, though they are easily fixable with some CSS tweaks.

You could also use my modified variant, which I customized with compatibility with Monobook/Vector (MediaWiki defaults to their settings) and WikiEditor (Dantman's version has some display errors with this without some CSS tweaks).

If you wish to use either, let me know. Arcane (talk) 17:49, 23 May 2014 (EDT)

Suggestion for Portals and Journal
To make page creation easier, they should both come with a page creator imputbox.

Also, the category should be transcluded below to make it easier to see what pages already exist for those namespaces. Arcane (talk) 16:41, 30 May 2014 (EDT)


 * We should definitely have this. DondreKhan (talk) 17:02, 30 May 2014 (EDT)
