Thank you for making this, It makes editing already alot of easier :3

I think I can start a Chinese one when I'm free :D
And I should learn how to use it first /o/

I once was a quite capable editor in Korean Wikipedia so I'm familiar with wiki grammer, but unfortunatly, I'm not that good at writing something in English as I'm not a native or something. orz orz orz

Already made Indonesian's Main Page and ID:Beatmapping..Hope there would be another Indonesian help in translating it :)
btw, seeing that the author got a url in their signature, in a way this wiki could be used as a user page eh(it will be forbidden I guess)? xD]
one more thing, why don't we insert the definition of glossary into pages like this?
http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/index.php?title=Beatmap
rather than making a new definition, I think it's better if we use the one from the glossary. Except if the glossary and wiki page must not be the same.

Please write in Korean then, it's fine and preferably some of the templates and categories might have to be written in Korean or in any other language preferably.

This is great. Time for me to start editing~

I just ported over the glossary. My idea was basically to create redirects to that page rather than a new page for each term. If someone wants to format it better, be my guest.

Also, how about using the current events page as a TODO list? It's easily accessible for everyone and there isn't a much better use for it atm.
Haseo_old
Making a signature so this wiki will get exposed more.

I'm sorry for using Lilyko's fanart. It looks so sexy and thought of it as a nice touch to the sig.

lol dkun works on Tagalog osu!wiki

I hope this osu!wiki goes swell

Oh, it'd be cool if we could link pages that are translations of each other together, like you can do in wikipedia.

Zekira
Hrrrgh, I really wanna contribute... it's just that I don't know what I can actually add :< Obviously Taiko related since that's my field of expertise but IDK...
Elly-chan
I wish the best for this wiki!

/ has already been adding stuff to it /
P o K e
I'm not good at writing stuff, so I'll just try and find grammar mistakes to fix.

I could helping for some german translation but i never worked on a wiki before
I think about that.
Sakura
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?

Nice work.
I think I'll do some german translation when im bored :3

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

Can you create RU namespace?
Vext_old
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.
Cristian
Thanks, now i know hwo to map very god on insane and another maps
Good job.
winber1
there seems to be quite a lot of progress ._.

/mehelps

nice job everyone so far :D

(the site is a little annoying tho, cuz my username is automatically capitalized, which I don't want, but whatever :/.)

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.
[Dellirium]
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 ;).

Cool idea. I'm going to gather some people to expand Polish section once I have a while :D

Keep the good work everyone :3

Use _ instead of Spaces

I'll look into the space issue in the near future.

I edited some stuffs about the game modifiers on Wiki...
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.

it...automatically uppercase my username's first letter...
I wil see what I could do there and keep translation,that could be done even I am at work xD

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

I slightly broke the user login system for names with spaces and will look at fixing it today.

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.
Ephemeral
of course you are, that's the entire point of a wiki

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.

Wow... It doesn't let me connect anymore, I could before but now, I can't.

I got this.

The French Taiko entry page for it will wait a little :l

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.

Question -- will it be a problem if I wanted to add a hebrew translation, since it's a right-to-left language?

Give it a try and see how it goes.

wait... why "ReiFan49" instead of "Rei_Fan49" ?
also, i can't login using "Rei Fan49" (previous ID) D:

EDIT:
1. is my previous ID was deleted ? http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/User:Rei_fan49

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.
Randy96
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"?
K2J
I've added a bunch of stuff to the Storyboarding category. I know I've been out of practice for a while, so feel free to correct what I wrote if it's wrong.
Randy96
I was wondering, with capitalization again, should "Ranking criteria" be "Ranking Criteria" because it's "THE" Ranking Criteria

Titles generally should use Capitals for Most Words.
