English !faq list. (Incomplete)

Question 1: Should the link directory be preserved (as in tanjinyi's edit) or should it be modified to fit their meaning? (as in current revision)

Example when "!faq scoring" (current issue founded):-
(Actual) BanchoBot: [http://osu.ppy.sh/?p=faq&n=2&c=7#c7 osu! scoring faq]
(Modified) BanchoBot: [http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Standard#Scoring osu! scoring faq]

In short, copy paste what Banchobot gives or modify it?

Question 2: Is there a difference in terms of delivery speed and compatibility based on link name?
Like from http://osu.ppy.sh/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5456 (Actual bb link) to http://osu.ppy.sh/forum/t/5456/ (Modified link)

*By (Modified) means 14:30, 29 November 2012‎ edit done by me at the wiki page.

Use the actual links, even if they're obsolete. The purpose of the page is to show the actual response from BanchoBot. If they're modified, then modify them in the wiki.

I already protected the main page to avoid possible vandalism. Use Sandbox-6 to do edits and ask in the talk section to merge them in the actual main page.

The deletion requests category is not updating even after I deleted some of the articles there. Maybe the cache of the category is not updated when an article is deleted.

Works fine for me.
If there is any problem with caching, use ?action=purge on the page.

Okay. I discovered CTRL + V is the miracle command. Working on it.
P.S. Despite I am one, I don't understood it sadly.

EDIT: Apparently, commands like "人品" yield "ENTRY NOT FOUND!". There is quite an amount of them.
EDIT 2: http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Interface#Options_screen -> http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Options ? If yes. place Options page at "Getting Started" or "World of osu!" ?

'Getting Started' I guess.

Someone just edited the !faq list~

"Getting Started" or "World of osu!" ?
'Getting Started' I guess.
Transfer it? Y/N
EDIT: Working on it.
EDIT2: Already done that. I discovered Gamefaq have them methods on Hush-Hush achievement. (Some are not so correct tho. Still debating whether should I create a gamefaq account just to fix the freaking grammar.)

Random note: "!faq perfect" will yield "!faq kr-perfect" instead. This seems to hold true for any command that do not have the english command but in other specific language only. It is not really an issue but what if...I wanted to tell someone what really is Perfect and Nightcore but I do not want to link it to wiki.

Can someone proof-read this.

EDIT1: History of osu! (Dec 2102) -> Sandbox-3 (Beatmapping a.k.a. copy pasting from FAQ's Editing) [~7/8 done]

Done. Now I forgot what I wanted to do. Also, where is that good old FAQ link went?

I've integrated the wiki with the main site design. Should make things a lot more cohesive. Let me know if you need any specific changes (point out bad-looking pages etc.)

It looks great! The only complaint I have is that it feels like it should log in automatically (it's kind of jarring that you seem to be on a subsection of the same site, but you suddenly have to log in all over again for just that section)

About squeezing.. It looks unaccustomed because the font size are the same as in the other parts of the website. I don't really think we should use increased font size only in the wiki, just got accustomed to this.

Some random stuff I noticed:-
1. Wiki-sortable table isn't working for me.
2. OL doesn't appear on my side apparently. Nevermind, I noticed it is located at the lower left of the screen. False alarm.
3. 2. My Template:Expand is broken as heck. Not like I know how to fix it (sadly).

P.S. fund it! (I would hate it if deleted, I still haven't taken down all of it)

That page should have a notice that says "This page is old, please use the wiki instead." or something like that.

I want to combine the css not for permissions reasons, but for performance. The way mediawiki handles styling is really bulky, and I'd like to integrate it to the point it loads as fast as the rest of the osu! site. Let me know all your issues and I promise to sit through and fix them one by one until it works how you please. Try not to get too upset by the trail of damage I make in the process; it's for the best :P.

I think the main issue now is not working JS. {{Contents}} and sorting tables are not working, it's impossible to change preferences... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

About other glitches... I still want some css changes which I did via common.css.

There is no padding-right in mw-panel, so when you change language it looks like:

Also padding-left should be reduced in my opinion.
div#mw-panel div.portal h5 {
padding: 0px 1em;
}

div#mw-panel div.portal div.body {
margin: 0px 0.5em;
}

Why navigation bar has white background? I think it should be the same as everything.
div#mw-panel {
background: #EDEBFA;
}


^ This bar still has old styling and looks pretty bad. I did some changes for common.css, they still can be used in main css file. right?
div.vectorTabs {
border-left: 1px solid #5a5399;
background-image: none;
}

div.vectorTabs span { 
background-image: none;
}

div.vectorTabs span a {
padding-top: 0.6em;
}

div.vectorTabs ul li { 
border-right: 1px solid #5a5399;
background-color: #E6E4F7;
background-image: none;
}

div.vectorTabs li.selected { 
background-image: none;
}

div.vectorTabs li a {
font-size: 1.2em;
}

div.vectorMenu li a {
font-size: 1em;
}

Can this css be added to the wiki?

div.vectorMenu ul {
  z-index:1;
}

This should fix the issue where the watch link can't be hovered becuase the menu disappears before reaching it.

The 'Available Languages' name does not fit well and it has a line break which "breaks" the feel of the "sidebar". I changed it to 'Other Languages' and did some other fixes to the template. I also remade the documentation of the template so it's more informative than the last one.

The available languages section needs to be included inside the other sidebar. I have logic for allowing this to display on smaller width screens which currently completely breaks. I don't think I can fix this alone, and while Repflex has provided a bit of basic information on how this is working, it may be better to sit through this and fix it together (throw me a PM on in-game chat when you have some free time @repflez). I'll look at the other styling fixes this week, all going well.

Thats why I talked about creating a new namespace for every language, there is a way to use interwiki for language-specific articles.

I have been doing some research and there's an extension that could help with the sidebar issue:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CustomSidebar

It allows to use a custom sidebar in a per-page basis so {{OL}} could be used on it easly without modifications to the wiki's base code but on the template itself.

It can be worth a try before going to editing files on the wiki.

Q: Who will update the Ranking Criteria? (I have -1 experience in beatmapping)

SPOILER
Reason: This statement and this forum. Currently, nobody(?) is supervising that page and updating it.
Off-topic: Current Firefox is giving me an headache. It summons up osu! when I do not want it open after I download a .osz.

I see that there is not a modding guide. I am planning to make a comprehensive account of modding. I might as well structure it in the form of a wiki page. I'm not entirely sure how to edit a page meant to be a placeholder. I guess I need to login to find that information.

Login and edit using the "Edit" link at the top of the article. Most pages are a placeholder due to the poor attention to diferent articles outside of the ones listed on various places of the site (FAQ, Ranking Criteria, PP, etc).

I'll contact peppy sometime this afternoon for the sidebar issue.

Can someone clarify the information reliability of the contents of Song Setup page?

To be honest, the "Tags" part is still questionable.
There was one time I was searching for [K] ranked song at osu! but the beatmap searchbar gives nothing until I type it out as "KINGS" (OP title).

The search engine on osu! site doesn't work with queries that are shorter than 3 letters. The beatmap can also not have a tag you're searching with.

Currently working on: http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Multiplayer

One question:-
Free Mods. (Elaborate completely if possible)
Will Host's selected mods (like DT/NC, HD, EZ and SO) be forced into the player? I do know SD/PF will not work.
EDIT: Figured it out how it works.

Discussion:-
I am somewhat planning to overhaul the whole page with tables. Should I leave it as it is now or going full table like what i did to Options page?

Need test-checking the Match Setup (Multi)'s table:-

Need variable screen resolution test. I suspect the table may end up clashing with the picture, causing the format to split into up and down.
EDIT: Checked.

---
In the unrelated note, I do know today is April Fool Day but to be frank, my activity at the EN wiki may decrease over time due to RL issues (not relationships, mind you). So, before I am completely dissolved into RL, who's going to update the EN wiki? :o

---
Unrelated edit: Tsundere Boat. Remind me to update both History of osu! and EN commands list. I will need copy-writers for EN command list tho.. 15.5.13 Edit: Current priority on History of osu! now. Commands list are going to Abandoned Graveyard.

Two questions :

I'm interested on translating some of the content of the wiki to portuguese, how can I do so? (without breaking any rule/bugging it up)

Is there a template I can use?

Copy the pages on the new place (Don't move but copy). Usually in the appropiate namespace (PT:Article for example).

As for a template, I don't think there's a "Translation in progress" template yet. You can always create it if you want.

Click “Edit” on the article you want to edit ^_^

If you want to create a new one, type name of article in Search field, click “ok” and then you can see at the bottom something like “Create the page "name" on this wiki!”. Click the red link and write your article.

Uh... I'm not really sure where to ask this since this is actually really my first time posting here, but...

What do you do if your beatmap is updated and/or says 'Click here to update this map'
Then, when you click it, it won't update?

Like... I'm in an online match with my friend and it shows this for her (she's quite new to Osu! so, I was trying to help her look for some clues on how to fix the said issue.):


Any ideas? Thanks~

probably yes, a animation of a slider ball will be more practical than a static image of the same, spinner spinning and osu! scoring (50,100,300) too, but well, please keep in mind the file size, the page might get too heavy to load.

Vacation ended for me, so I'm doing finally some work to the wiki.

Since the language sidebar is not going to happen soon (It seems that peppy's busy with some other things), I went and did a makeover to the {{OL }} template. I hope it looks good and fits well.

And someone can explain this? I saw the reasons but I can't enter osu! to check it. (OpenGL in Win 7 + 2002 PC = unplayable mess).

I'm honored that TicClick began translating the giant Storyboard Scripting pages into Russian. The more I think about it, the more I realize it's not really a "guide" per se - and there probably should be a more beginner-friendly guide on the wiki instead of this multi-page monster scaring them away. I've posted a link to Doomsday's video for now, but I think the wiki deserves a text-based guide as well, and one not written by me, as those apparently turn out to be 10 pages long :o .

"Bump" because I didn't know where to ask. I'm working on translating the wiki from English to French with a bunch of guys. I noticed that the {{OL}} template doesn't display corretly when creating a FR:[pagename] (the space where the other languages should be displayed is blank). Is there a way to correct this ?

Also, is it possible to change the page title from english to french (or another language) without it becoming "unrelated"/"unlinked" to the original english page ?
Atm, let's say I want to create a French page for General Ranking Criteria. The new page will be named FR:General Ranking Criteria, but I want it to be something else (in this case, "Critères de Ranking Généraux" in French).

Sorry if these questions has already been asked in the past, I didn't bother looking at the previous pages.

Other Languages doesn't show properly when added on a language page due to how the template looks for links. And for the link name, the details are in its documentation (Add "|fr=Critères de Ranking Généraux" on the General Ranking Criteria)

Since the language sidebar is not going to happen soon (It seems that peppy's busy with some other things), I went and did a makeover to the {{OL }} template.
Any news on the language sidebar? The main page really needs one, as the links to the other languages' wikis are almost hidden (under the "These categories need new content" section :< ).

If it still won't happen anytime soon, why not including an {{OL}} in Main_Page in the meantime? This would make the main pages of the other languages a lot more visible than now. It would require to rename them though, like Chinese to ZH:Main_Page.

peppy said last year that he'll work on the sidebar but I haven't heard anything from that since.

I'll do a specific {{OL}}-ish list sooner or later but I lack the motivation to do so since only certain languages are begin edited/improved.

{{OL}} allows language pages to be named differently and still be linked correctly.

Is there a way to increase the cellpadding in the wiki? The current value seems to make the table content too close to the border.

On wikitables? Add cellspacing="0" where 0 is the padding after the opening ( {| ).

Overhauled the whole Streaming with OBS Page. I am not a native english speaker, so it would be nice if someone looks over it.
Also added some advanced things you can do while streaming, that can also be realized in the other streaming programs. Maybe new Cat for that kind of guide?

How can I add a footnote on a page? I tried with <ref>, {{ref}} and {{note}} but they don't seem to be working.

(also, is it me or the wiki is incredibly slow since yesterday?)

Ok. I'll find another way to display what I want with HTML, as I am too afraid of breaking something by creating a new template :?

Don't be afraid of experimenting, there's always a way to rollback anything in 3 clicks.

osu!wiki is acting up on me so I am slacking off. Currently can't log in :cry: .

Note: Making new account directs me to osu.ppy.sh . Now I wonder how new users makes an osu!wiki account.

EDIT: Scrambling April-May 2012 in my email gives no results. So, I am likely screwed to make a secondary account since there is no password reset button. May try again later to see if my account can be electrocuted from deadlock.

You can name it in the language you want as long you add the correct prefix to the name. I think it was ZH: for the chinese articles.

Thanks in advance~

P.S. O.T.N., Mephisto, Hades in Heaven, Predator, Calamity Fortune and FREEDMAN are reoccurring winners in Top 10. So, 27 unique songs with 13 duplicates.

EDIT: Waiting for #3 result. Did minor fix (Mistaken "!" for "|") and some update for showcases. Add o!m in. Nothing is changed in the spoilerbox above as I am working on o!m now. Obsolete. I am back~
Offtopic
I fund osu!arcade and young ppy. Also, where is #7?

It could fit as a standalone guide unless it's complimenting another guide, which in that case should be in that guide.

The only encode "guide" I can remember is the one I made for a guide but is for foobar2000 and most things there could not apply for other converters.

TL;DR No, there isn't a proper encode guide.

Probably in the Miscellaneous section. While a correct encoding is part of the Ranking Criteria, I don't think it should be in the General Mapping/Modding Info section. I could be wrong here but if it's on the wrong place, it will be eventually moved to a correct location.
