One thing i've been noticing is the lack of links on the different pages of the wiki, it's not that hard to do, just [[text]] and it will link to a page called "text" additionally you can use [[name|text]] and it will add a link on "text" to a page called "name".

Now why are links useful? because they are there to help people go and do a quick check on what a word/term means for instance if someone is reading about mapping, and it says "jumps" or "etna sliders" a new user will go wtf, linking to the def. of the term will help the user understand what the words/terms mean.

Can't be helped since dkun doesn't always speak in Tagalog, and the fact that he's residing in the US.

Also, is there an image gallery in the wiki?

I can't log in because of “Invalid username” reason. Is this because I have “[]” in my username?

Can you create RU namespace?

I saw it and went "-.- Is this really necessary?" But then I saw a few of the parts like "mapping techniques" and I went "Ohh~ so it's actually informative." Very nice pepster. On another note, I'm still curious how Japan is treating you. You'll have to pm me sometime.

I have fixed the issues with invalid usernames. Your use page may not be accessible (on the wiki end) for the time-being, but login will work fine.

I get “you have not specified a valid username” when I try to log in via Opera and “Incorrect password” when I use Chrome (Password is correct, I can log in on the main website)
:(

And again, will you create RU namespace?

I tried my best but adding support for [] is a pain, and beyond the scope I'd like to look at for the moment. I will offer anyone with [] in their username an on-the-spot username change (to remove the []). Otherwise you will not be able to access the wiki for the time being.

You or another Russian user can create it yourselves. That's the idea of a wiki ;).

I edited some stuffs about the game modifiers on Wiki...
... including the fact about NoFail mod

I was thinking of adding a template about the detailed effects of the Game Modifiers, like how hard it is to play a beatmap with HardRock mod on (e.g: the milliseconds timing) or having a criticism section (look what happened to the description here lol). But I'm not good enough to play around with Wiki. :?

I Don't get it really, Adding \[ and \] to the preg_match (use mediawiki this way? don't know), and it should work.

Those characters are used for formatting links throughout the wiki. Having them in usernames causes *huge* issues throughout the codebase. You are likely underestimating how fickle mediawiki is, too. The best option is linking stripped usernames correctly to their osu! counterparts, but this will take a bit of effort.

okay, I can wait.

er... Namespace != an article with RU:, only bureaucrats can create them. If ones creates an article with RU:, and then a bureaucrat creates the same namespace, horrible things can happen.
I just want to be sure that creation of a namespace is not nesessary.

Categories are being used for languages at the moment, which I believe you can create.

i forgott this thing, well, this is really a bit tricky, likely an complete rewrite of the code (a bit huge, but like so :D).

not really worked with mediawiki yet, and i don't plan this in the future. but i know the size of the Wiki, so i can intruduce how difficult it is to rewrite it.



BTW: the The German CTB Text should by Ready Now :D

That is how mediawiki works. I am looking at whether it is feasible to change this, but for now just bear with it please.

Are we allowed to further edit some content that's already there? I feel IRC isn't as informative as it could be.

Okay, I think we need to split up the Distance Snap and Spacing pages. For some odd reason, the Distance Snap page serves as the Spacing page, and this really makes little sense; the Distance Snap feature is a feature that suggests a spacing for you, while Spacing is simply the distance between two hit objects and is something you can write entire essays on. The distance snap spacing is not necessarily always the ideal spacing, and therefore combining the two pages is just confusing.

Also working on the Mapping Techniques page. I'll finish it up after Wednesday if it's still not done by then.

I believe to have fixed the issue with usernames with underscores/special charaters. Please note that your wiki usernames will still have a capital first letter, but this is something I am willing to live with for now.

Report back if you are still having any problems.

Usernames as a result may have changed slightly. I am not sure if this will be the final implementation, but I don't think changes this early in the wiki setup will be too harmful.

I'm noticing that capitalization is a little inconsistent for example "Ranked beatmaps" and "Pending Beatmaps" which one is generally better to use?

Also, should the wiki be written informally with things such as "Don't worry!" and/or "Delicious normal difficulties"?
