Feed The Beast Wiki:Centralized discussion

{{#if:{{{1|}}}|1|The following discussions are requesting wider attention: More...

"FTBwiki.org?"
should we be using ftbwiki.org? it's much more complete
 * Anyone is free to use either wiki. Whereas http://ftbwiki.org is a more complete one, this wiki is the official one: it was founded by FTB team as http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com and since then merged with Gamepedia. &mdash;  NickTheRed37 t/c • F T B &ensp;Wiki Translator 06:29, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Either wiki is usable. This one was formed by FTB staff members and originally written primarily by either FTB-appointed or mod author-appointed staff members. ftbwiki.org was originally created by the fanbase / playerbase and is still written and operated by them. Until about 8 months ago, this wiki was also hosted on an FTB server, until the decision was made to transfer to Gamepedia servers which, while less under our control, were significantly more stable. (It was also this move that prompted me to join the team, as server stability was the barrier between me and continuing the job I started two years ago with the now defunct GregTech Community Wiki.)
 * Personally, I like a few of the aesthetics of the unofficial wiki better (dark theme in stead of light theme), but I'm pretty sure under-the-hood we have better templates to work with. (Also this loads smoother.) - PaladinAHOne Staff (talk) 08:16, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Nay on aesthetics, I don't want to squint to read. Although, is it possible for this wiki to have multiple skins? -Xbony2 (talk) 11:45, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It is possible to have multiple skins. It's just that nobody bothered writing another skin. 🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 16:09, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, and @ the IP dude, we will catch up with the other wiki, at least in amount of articles, sooner rather then later ;) -Xbony2 (talk) 11:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

"Script errors" all over wiki for non-logged in users
I was originally going to report this as a bug, but then I noticed that the top box says the following:


 * Please make sure you are logged in when viewing the wiki otherwise you will see script errors everywhere.

Is this intentional? If not, when is a fix expected for this issue? I have noticed a lot of pages are broken for anonymous users because of this (as sampled from Special:RandomPage):

 * This is due to an issue with the configuration of the FlaggedRevs extension. We are working with Curse to get this issue fixed as soon as possible. 🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 23:25, 5 March 2015 (UTC)


 * This should be handled now. PaladinAHOne  Staff (talk) 22:43, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Russian translation being moved to Minecraft Wiki?
I once requested to add an interwiki prefix on Russian Minecraft Wiki that leads to this wiki. It was met with an oppose by GreenStone, stating:

This means that the Russian translation project might be merged with Russian Minecraft Wiki.

We need a discussion on whether we should keep the translation project or merge it with that wiki.

 * I'd prefer if we continued to simply allow pages on this wiki to be translated into any language. If Russian translators want to translate pages here, they are free to do so. If they would rather write Russian articles on the Russian Minecraft wiki, they are free to do so. Due to our setup of templates and extensions, this wiki is specifically designed to handle the massive complexity added by mods, so why people wouldn't want to take advantage of it is beyond me. 🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 16:55, 24 January 2015 (UTC)


 * This strikes me as a rather hostile and uncooperative attitude. If the Russian Minecraft wiki wants to maintain their own mod pages, that's fine by me, but I don't think they have any right to say that FTB shouldn't be allowed to have a Russian translation. -- Orthotopetalk (mcw admin) 19:39, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
