Quote:Bob SchroeckVery cool, both of them. I was online last night while you were working on them, and when I saw them in the change log I was wondering when they'd be ready for prime-time...
Oh, another question -- is there an easy way to do a page name fix that just isn't obvious? I spotted another mangled name last night ("Likea Son to Me", I think it was), and I'd've been happy to take care of it if I knew how.
Edit: And another another question: I wanted to include a http://web.archive.org/web/200406170828 ... ntributors on my userpage to the earliest recorded troper list on TVT, but apparently its original location -- sytes.net -- gets rejected by some kind of filter. Given that sytes.net no longer exists, and the real url is to archive.org, that's kind of silly. I presume it's an Orain restriction, but is it a deliberate one, or something grandfathered in through a blacklist that's been maintained for a decade?
To fix a page with a mangled name, click the Move tab (on the Vector skin, you can find this by hovering your mouse over the gray arrow next to the watchlist star icon). Once at the move page screen, type in the new title (leave a redirect so all the links can be cleaned up later with a bot), and leave a reason like "correction". The move page right is allowed by ordinary users and administrators alike (I moved that page you mentioned with my alternate user account as a demonstration).
Also, for help with MediaWiki, I have imported some MW help pages from MW.org, here:
http://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki/Help:Contents
They need some cleanup, but they should fill you in on most of the basics.
As for the link on the Wayback Machine, the Wayback Machine may not have scraped any links to the page in question from the old webhost or it may have had a robots.txt restriction on page scraping. I'm guessing that it may not have been able to scrape a working link at the time or it got back a corrupted result based on the error I got when I tried to access the link.

Have you edited a page on the wiki that has external links yet? I've done at least a dozen in the last couple days. You would think that the parser would figure out if the URLs have changed or not before demanding you prove you are a human being by picking cats from a lineup.
This is a result of the Asirra anti spam feature [useful but annoying for good tropers like yourself

] I'm sure I could speak with the guys at Orain about modifying it to where it quits making you confirm links after you have about 5-10 confirmed edits on the wiki.
