added some pages

Suggestion : Have ES, FI, etc. Various "Language" Categories so we can have a comprehensive list of stuff in different languages. kinda unproductive to have 150 tags under FAQ and most of them being different languages.

Also guys, this is wiki, not a dictionary.

Just sayin'.

Finally learned how to make new pages (sorta). I moved the CTB one to a new page and added a skinning category for someone to write in. This is fun :D

Personally, I made the jump page to focus on the usage of jumps, and the slider page because there was a red link begging to be turned to blue (AKA because I was bored).

There's a line, but as long as we keep it to osu!-specific terms I think it's okay, mainly so that the terms can be linked to within the articles so that a brand new mapper who knows nothing can understand what we're talking about. Now if we start making pages for things like "clicking", "tablet" and "mouse", then we're crossing into dangerous territory.

btw why is my user Palion on wiki when i registered it lower case =[
dkun
translating a few key pages into tagalog
fixed a few notable grammatical errors (holy shit guys)
also implementing a few redirects that some articles are lacking
Sync
Fixed stuff, removed stupid stuff and changed it with not-stupid stuff, etc

I need some wiki tutorial before start contributing there >.<

mediawiki forces upper-case first character for topics and usernames. Also, you really don't need to post your changelogs to this thread; when you make a change you can specify exactly what you did along with the update. Try and keep things positive and avoid calling other peoples' content "stupid", too.
Mithos
I don't mind if people say they edited something I did, just be positive \:D/

Has anyone noticed that there isn't a page for normal gameplay?

It's just in an FAQ instead of it's own page 3:

hmmm is user that have an underscore (like me) is can't login?
(and it's page inaccessible?)
peppy
I'll look into this; it's probably a big with the authentication bridge.

Is there a Japanese page yet?
I think I can work on that but I don't know how to use a wiki DX

Sadly, there's no Japanese pages yet.
If you can do that, we'll appreciate that.
Alouthgh I know some Japanese, but I'm not native speaker of Japanese, so I'll just get rid of touching Japanese part.
Hope you could do a nice job on it :D

Very usefull :) thanks

just take a page. add JP: to the beginning of the page name in the address bar. Then edit the page and translate.

Just bumping this thread: I would like to see the wiki replace the FAQ and other help pages we currently have listed on the site, but would like people's opinions on whether it is mature enough for that to happen. There haven't been many changes recently so it would seem either people have lost interest or it has been fleshed out to the point it is quite a usable resource.

The wiki still needs more content to be a usable resource to the community. At most, the guides (or at least the half of them) needs to be ported over to start considering to replace the actual FAQ. I could port them over but my speciality is templating, not writing good articles.

On an unrelated matter: It can be possible to install ParserExtensions in the wiki? It will help when making templates because it allows the use of conditionals in them and reduce the need to create redundant templates.

wow nice

Tremendously educational many thanks, I reckon your trusty readers would definitely want even more writing like this carry on the excellent hard work.

Now this will come in handy ill try and visit occasionally.
peppy
I wish more was being done here :(.
Mara
What are we missing?
peppy
The ability to replace the FAQ, guides, etc. with wiki links. A better design for the front page, and easier navigation. Much more content and activity in general.
Mara
Well I can see that there aren't so many guides written in the wiki, when looking at this box.



We should fix that.
peppy
Did you just make that listing, or is it somewhere hidden on the wiki? There should be something front-page like that. And someone should organise teams to get each of those areas updated and migrated.
Mara
I found that from the FAQ article; http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/FAQ

And apparently it can be placed with {{Guides}}.
peppy
I just updated guides to redirect to it. Now just need people to write/move/be awesome.
Mara
I could write later today, but that would require someone who fixes all that amazing engrish.
peppy
I'm not talking about writing on a single day. I'm talking about organising and motivating people, and getting an ongoing effort involved. "I can write today" means nothing to me. I am looking for someone (or multiple people) willing to actually form a team and Get Things Done.

Also your sig is ugly. Make the osu! logo smaller or remove it please :(.
Mara
Wiki Team? Sounds cool. But yeah, I guess one day writing does nothing.

Also the signature COULD be better, but the image links (logos) in the FAQ are dead. I basically took that from the site.

Ive done a decent bit of wiki work myself. and I will try to do more. the front page should look like the front page of wiki.guildwars.com in terms of navigation.

I did the listing (And the used template on it) some time ago. It doesn't hurt to check the history of the template :P

The page looks good and if the main page here gets updated to look like that, it will (currently) be a sea of red links due to not having enough articles/guides/whatever to fill with. But still someone can try and make a draft of it on its user page.

By the way: I fixed Template:Navboxaltrow because it was breaking Template:Navbox when used with Template:Navboxrow.
GigaClon
Thanks, I didn't really expect them to be used together, it was for when I just wanted a centered listing. We should make sure most pages are linked to a navbox.
peppy
If you need any extensions or things installed please PM me and I'll look at it ASAP.

Just a little heads up.

jpeg images aren't showing in any page in the wiki (See Interface article)

If someone tries to see directly those images, the wiki confuses itself and tries to render it as a page. jpg and png files aren't affected.

Example:
Wiki page: http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/File:Soloplay10.jpeg
Direct Link: http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Images/1/11/Soloplay10.jpeg
peppy
See if it works now. You may need to try uploading again. If not, renaming to jpg might be the best course of action for now :p.
Repflez
It works now. Still, renaming them to jpg can be the safest route in this case (and disabling uploading from that extension) if more problems appear from those images.
GigaClon
we shouldn't be using jpeg/jpeg for screenshots anyway. PNG is perfecty fine for screenshots. Jpeg is for Photos
