What are we missing?
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.
Well I can see that there aren't so many guides written in the wiki, when looking at this box.
We should fix that.

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.
I found that from the FAQ article; http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/FAQ
And apparently it can be placed with {{Guides}}.

I just updated guides to redirect to it. Now just need people to write/move/be awesome.
I could write later today, but that would require someone who fixes all that amazing engrish.
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.

.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 templatepeppy wrote:

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.GigaClon wrote:

By the way: I fixed Template:Navboxaltrow because it was breaking Template:Navbox when used with Template:Navboxrow.
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.
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

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.
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.
we shouldn't be using jpeg/jpeg for screenshots anyway. PNG is perfecty fine for screenshots. Jpeg is for Photos
Depends on the complexity of the screenshot. An easy way to decide is to use puush. It is smart with which mode it chooses (jpg or png) on the windows client, and will automatically decide which is best. You can make puush save locally and then use those to upload directly to the wiki, too
Something to share.
I was bored with Firebug and Stylish and decided to make a design for the wiki. The results were good and looks more like the rest of the site
The CSS is here if peppy wants to add it (It goes in MediaWiki:Vector.css)

How it looks (Firefox 11 - Big image)
I know, the tabs are too big.

thanks to K2J http://osu.ppy.sh/u/2316 for working on the storyboarding section of the wiki
I think there's a problem with the wiki login.
I logged in earlier on one computer, and later attempted to login through another computer without logging out on the first and received the following error message:
I logged in earlier on one computer, and later attempted to login through another computer without logging out on the first and received the following error message:
A database error has occurred. Did you forget to run maintenance/update.php after upgrading? See: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Up ... ate_scriptI assume that the wiki still thinks I'm logged in when I'm not (I'm not logged in anymore on the first computer)?
Query: INSERT INTO `user` (user_id,user_name,user_password,user_newpassword,user_newpass_time,user_email,
user_email_authenticated,user_real_name,user_options,user_token,user_registration,user_editcount) VALUES (NULL,'kcaze','','',NULL,'',NULL,'','','45b2f6f3e4b63217d392ac47da59112d','20120512085825','0')
Function: User::addToDatabase
Error: 1062 Duplicate entry 'kcaze' for key 'user_name' (localhost)
this happens when you use the wrong case to login, i think. i will look at fixing this in the near future, but please try logging in with Kcaze or kcaze and see if it helps.
Yeah, logging in with "Kcaze" did the trick. Are Osu! usernames case sensitive btw?
only the wiki. i plan on changing that. currently mediawiki forces capital first letters (due to that being the wiki standard).
I did some googling and it looks like doing so would require some ugly workarounds. Is it possible to edit the login page to include a note telling users that the first letter in their username needs to be capitalized?
I believe it can be fixed.
Slightly off-topic but > http://puu.sh/uj3c Is there a way to actually capture in-game fullscreens without it being grey?peppy wrote:

f12? shift-f12?
f12 to just store on your picture folder or shift+f12 to upload.
edit: fuck peppy ninja'd me by 20 seconds...

Sorry for not specifying but I was talking about using puush for more than just osu!. I'll assume the only current workaround is Print Screen into paint and then upload via puush?peppy wrote:

You can printscreen then "upload clipboard". Or use shift-f12. Or use shift-f12.
Huh, is it fixed already? I was able to login today with my username in all lowercase.peppy wrote:

Yep, I already fixed it .
.Is something like this (screenshot from Wikipedia, the one and only)
possible to achieve in the osu! wiki as well?
Because that would be major awesome, as well as much easier to jump to pages of other languages (if one's second language for instance has a 10x more detailled page).
For the rest. I really <3 the wiki.

I'd like to see a language selection like this. Can someone investigate how this is done and tell me if I need to do anything at my end to make this happen?

but I'm not sure it will work for the osu!wiki version of mediawiki.

This seems a useful link to me, though it gives me the impression that creating extra languages requires the creation of extra wikis? Or I completely misunderstood it - which is very much possible, since English is still my second/third language.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Multilang
This also seemed like an interesting link when I stumbled upon it. If it's not the ideal, then at least it might give some useful alternatives.
Though I need to add the note that I'm absolutely NOT knowledgeable in that kind of stuff ^. That's not even my tenth language. So looking into this closer, I will leave to the more professional :c

It should work since it only involves some database editing. The problem seems that requieres making a "hackish" Wiki Family (In the same wiki instead of making multiple wikis for every language)
