Brazilian Portuguese

I just translated the entire controls session to portuguese brazil Controls/ptbr, next step is translate the main page as you suggested and gradually translating the Community_portal. Is it enough?

Update... Main page in brazilian portuguese --Neuworknetral

Make sure you sign your edits on talk pages using the signature button. Were going to need more content than that before we make the change necessary to enable pbtr officially. I wont be able to make that change this week regardless and Ill have to talk to rhine about it. --Draygo (talk) 01:57, 9 April 2014 (EDT)

Diplomacy

Hey Draygo,

Is there a chance where you can post my faction up on the Diplomacy page for player-created factions?

Thanks, Stryker25 CIC, ICBA

Not for now, the diplomacy page needs to be reworked because the table is at it's maximum size. You are already listed on the factions page --Draygo (talk) 13:00, 24 March 2014 (EDT)


Hi Draygo

My problem with the componentbox is now ok. I had used an older version of IE. In chrome and firefox i dont had any proplems. after an update to an newer IE it ok too.

Another Q. is it possible to change pages without the key-captcha-puzzel. I change sometimes 1 char and need 30 sec. to puzzel. :-) Thx Adi2412

Ill look into disabling the capcha for editing. I find it quite annoying too. Make sure you sign your posts with the tilde's so it date and timestamps it. ~~~~ or hit the signature button in the edit screen. --Draygo (talk) 13:28, 28 March 2014 (EDT)

thx it's better to change.--Adi2412 (talk) 13:39, 28 March 2014 (EDT)

Hey Draygo,

I think I resolved the issue for the standings. Could you check them when you have a moment? Thanks! -- Stryker25

Spam

I'm seeing a recent influx of new questionable accounts. Is it just best to keep our eyes out for spam and ban later? I don't think there's an easy way to tackle this.--Rhine (talk) 15:50, 8 April 2014 (EDT)

best way to deal with it is to drop bans when they make the edits. Is the capcha enabled on account creation? I am rather busy this week but I can check into it next week. --Draygo (talk) 01:53, 9 April 2014 (EDT)
I think you should enable captcha for new, until they get a number of "convincing" points. This is only a suggestion. --Binary25 (talk) 11:26(GMT+2), 9 April 2014 (EDT)

Cockpits

Hi draygo (sorry for the little work done). Currently we have 3 pages for 3 cockpits, it will not be easier to create a single page "Cockpit" and put the 3? --Binary25 (talk) 00:09(GMT+2) 13 April.

Do not apologize for doing little work, its not like you are getting paid for this! But no each cockpit needs its own page or the SMW wiki wont work. A single cockpit page linking to the 3 item pages will work for information about cockpits in general. --Draygo (talk) 00:47, 13 April 2014 (EDT)
Like a disambiguation page? The current Cockpit page redirects to Cockpit 1. --Pathfinder (talk) 22:49, 13 April 2014 (EDT)
sure. If you think it best. --Draygo (talk) 23:24, 13 April 2014 (EDT)

Faction Page

http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/Factions

Take a look at the giant tridential logo - how do I fix this? The preceeding unsigned comment was added by User:Rhine (talkcontribs).

Fixed, it was in the title field of the template for that faction. --Draygo (talk) 05:07, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Please remove the ads

So I decided to register here and help out the community, but when I went to register I had to disable adblock for the captcha to load.

Oh my god! Ads everywhere. Unsavory, intrusive advertising at that! Fetish dating sites, loc targeted employment scams, lead generation pages, pills, questionable software. Even the captcha had an ad embedded in it. This was my confirmation page

Please remove the advertising from this wiki. It's an eyesore and I will not donate my time to contribute to someone's revenue stream.

Not my decision you need to talk to Rhine about that, as far as I understand it is to cover operating costs of the servers. If there are particular ads that are inappropriate let us know and I'm sure rhine can block them. I am currently getting ads for vacations and items on amazon. --Draygo (talk) 23:48, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
Okay, I've added a topic to Rhine's talk page, pointing here. Ad discussion -- Xeoz (talk) 00:23, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi Xeoz, the ads are necessary for hosting costs. If there are particular ads that you find offensive, please let me know and I can further investigate to see if they are appropriate for all ages. However, since they are adsense, they are actually based on your search history and browsing habits. Please see this page for more information: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9713?hl=en -- Rhine (talk) 00:46, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Wiki hosting varies from free to cheap. If you're compelled to manage your own mediawiki install for a site with this level of traffic hosting can be had for $5-$10 a month.
As for search history, I have none. I don't run logged in on google, I use adblock, and I use startpage as my search engine. The ads are being targeted entirely on geolocation and content guesses for this site. There is no point in trying to blacklist every single campaign in adsense that is not appropriate. Ad campaigns are transient and will be constantly changed. You'll need to have a huge list of blacklisted keywords to even come close.
-- Xeoz (talk) 02:17, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
"free" wiki hosting comes with ads, so I don't quite get your point. Other free wikis that are provided by the community, and they generally have ads (minecraft wiki anyone). We made some changes to the ad preferences which should tamp down on some of the issues - we have no interest in showing 'dating' ads. Your current adsense preferences are here: AdSense preferences where you can opt out of any interest based advertising, or just be able to edit (remove) interest categories. --Draygo (talk) 21:15, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Cannot Modify images for Camera

Hey, I don't have permissions to alter/remove previous images, and the current camera image is overriding which ever image I try to replace it with. Can you assist and delete the other images?

Requesting deletion of:

Replacing with:

Thanks in advance ^.^ --Alouria (talk) 23:07, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

  • When you modify an image you need to give it time for the wiki to propagate the change to the cloud services it uses to host the image. The images are not directly hosted on this website. Also see this for uploading icons: Help:Item pages, mark anything you want deleted with the {{Delete}} template. --Draygo (talk) 23:28, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
  • Okay thanks for the information. I still find it all a bit new for me. I've never managed with item-lists much. If I run into more problems, I'll be sure to re-post here. --Alouria (talk) 03:12, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Faction proposal thread

Awhile ago I had made a thread regarding the factions page on the KSH forums. (Linked below)

I'd like to hear your opinion of it on there if you can spare a few minutes. I don't want to go changing it without some outside input on the subject. Rather discuss it further with at least one other person. lol
