Quote:Another TroperJust some nitpick: The forum is at http://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki/For ... The_Tropes
Who's gonna make the first post?
I just added a warning that the forum option is still in development, so for now, no one should be using this feature. (I have protected the page as well for the time being)
I had originally planned to alter a premade forum template with some custom CSS from another wiki, but since that isn't working for some reason, I've have to add custom styling to the forum layout in HTML.
The feature is still very much a WIP, but suggestions are welcome.
Note: Feel free to make test edit on the Forum Sandbox page all you like, that's what's it's there for, but be aware that page can be edited, changed, blanked, etc by anyone. The rest of the sub forums should be unedited for the time being.
In other news, while we wait for the image snafu to be cleared up, I have another tech update:
All categories (or indexes as they were called on TVT) are currently red on ATT, which means they don't exist, or, more properly, their description pages have no content.
This is something of a problem since due to "not existing", the categories will not show up in searches or via the auto complete or HotCat gadgets (which let people fill the blanks on edit pages automatically), which means inserting categories would be a cast iron pain at present.
Thankfully, I am working on a solution.
I have a localhost clone on my PC with all the content that was originally ported to the live site, and courtesy of a bot, I am filling in all the categories with the following text:
{{main|{{PAGENAME}}}}
[[Category:Index Index]
The first line will provide a redirect to main namespace page for the category
Example - {{main|Hero Tropes}} will provide a link to main "Hero Tropes" page.
The second line will add all categories to a master category, or "Index Index", as it was called on TV Tropes.
I have already prepared preloaded page templates for creating new categories, so in the event new categories need be created, it will be a very simple process.
In fact, I already have an option for that on our ATT Page Creator page.
Anyway, once my bot finishes filling in all the categories (we have about 60,000+ categories, so this could take awhile), I will be importing an XML file with everything we need to Orain so all those red links should turn blue and thus be useful for our purposes.
