Halflife2.net Announcement: Wiki open

[-Psy-]

I'll add some pages about the Source Engine. My 2 years of work in it might be interesting to some people.

 

[Geogaddi]

QUICK! Everyone rush and make an entry about yourself!

 

[Vegeta897]

Whoever made it so that going to my User:Vegeta897 page forwards to the Vegeta897 article, thanks that's really cool! (How did you do it?)

Edit: Ah it was PsychoFreak. Thanks man!

 

[-Psy-]

That was me. I simply clicked "move" and renamed the page.

 

[Qonfused]

This is incredibly awesome.

Could you move mine? Not sure how to do that...

 

[-Psy-]

I already did.

 

[hool10]

Should I keep the bio thing or trash it? I think I should trash it to keep with the flow of how the pages are going. *Linked to the help page on the community portal.

 

[Asknoone]

Any misuse and the punishments will carry over onto the forum and be quite severe. You have been warned.

 

[The Brick]

I lol'ed hard.

 

[Planetary]

This is interesting news indeed. I already have quite a bit of experience with the 1st Wiki (ever), so feel free to ask me questions. I see that my page is already there, so that's convenient.

 

[sinkoman]

The grammar on these pages is HORRID.

CLEANUP TIME

 

[<RJMC>]

I dont have a wiki entry?!!!

*<RJMC> roars like godzilla and start smashing*

 

[Naudian]

I'm new to wiki editing but this is way more awesome that I thought it would be

 

[leib10]

Just finished the page for Alyx Vance. However, I don't know how to add images, so maybe one of you can.

EDIT: Already took care of it.

 

[CyberPitz]

Wooo, I'm famous for my pervertedness.

 

[Evo]

Who knew i was made of D: and jihad'ness :O

 

[taviow]

Very nice. I love this. *reads*

 

[Jintor]

W00t! Community ahoy!

 

[Qonfused]

To the mods: please don't delete many articles right away. Some may seem silly, but they need to built upon. Let most articles last two or three weeks to be re-done and built up until deleting the ones that have very little info.

 

[Sloth]

@Q - We won't delete anything at the moment unless we think that it is abuse...

 

[V-Man339]

This is awesome, this palce could use a wiki...

 

[Dog--]

I got a question for anyone who knows alot about Wiki stuff..

My name is displayed as CaveCanem-45189 when you look at the history or something, yet my name at the top of the Wiki page says Cave Canem. Any way to change this CaveCane-45189 to Cave Canem?

BTW, I never logged out since the Wiki came up, and when I went to the Wiki page, it already automatically had me logged in.


This will explain it more clearly.

 

[Sloth]

It has to do with the copying of users from the forum log to the wiki log - you don't need to log in cause you already have. On the forum.

And 45189 is also your member number... It might have to do with you not creating a User page... Just redirect it to your other page of your user.

 

[Stigmata]

I think the number is your forum ID number, i.e. you are the 45,189th account registered on HL2.net. You probably can't change that in the wiki.

How do I do that? (I would try to figure it out, but it's late..)

BTW, I have a user page..

 

[Sloth]

[[User:Cave Canem]]

But i've done it anyway - that now redirects to [[Cave Canem]]

EDITY: Doesn't work... live with it ?

 

[Dog--]

Eh, so I guess I'm going to have to live with my *true* Wiki-name being CaveCanem-14189? meh...

Thanks Sloth

 

[Vegeta897]

It says my User ID on the Wiki is 107. what does this mean?

[Atomic_Piggy]

Can someone make a Piggy article?

 

[Narvi]

Shasta got deleted? Damn.

And I do not have an article.

This is not on.

Neither is it awesome.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

How do you make a new page?

 

[leib10]

Search for the article you wish to make, and then click "Create this page" (red font) when it doesn't find it.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Kk thx.

Its a work in progress.

 

[Planetary]

People are spending too much time on their own talk pages, and not enough time making actual content, from what I can see. The "other" Wiki's guidelines may be appropriate in this case.

In short, it's not Myspace.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

I've done some work on the citadel page, the bottom two paragraphs.

 

[Sloth]

As to content - need to run this by Glenn but we'll be starting a "project" soon...

Indeed, we will work on a more focused approach shortly.

 

[Xendance]

I've moved Xendance and Leib on the user page.

Thanks for that. I was getting confused when I couldn't follow Caveman instructions.

 

[Planetary]

Maybe there should be a link at the top of thee page, right beside "Home Page', "User CP", and all the, a "Wiki" button.

Am I the only one who keeps thinking that User CP is User Civil Protection, instead of Control Panel?

 

[Xendance]

I did a stub of Garry's Mod
