| == Our competition == | |
| Our competition, which includes two other wiki's. The community sides in the community portal does work with the same goal. We work to collect all information Futurama, in an objective unbiased (except for the fact that we love the show, so I guess we are biased). But yet, we are the fifth result on Google when searching for ''[http://www.google.com/search?q=futurama+wiki futurama wiki]''. In fact, the best competition we have is Wikipedia, which I am afraid is doing some better jobs on some issues. Also because they have all the delicious extensions. Yum yum. My point is... it has been awfully quiet lately, and also by the spambots. Either we did something efficient, or they are taking a break. But it seems only the regular editors are the one who views this wiki. So uh, we need to spread the word more efficiently.

| I recently thought only Wikipedia was our enemy, but apparently Wikia's [http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/Futurama Futurama wiki] has been revived. However, while it is obvious that we still have a lot more information (since it appears by the [http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Recentchanges recent changes article] that only a single person is making their pages). I am still wondering why they are even bothering. I mean, Wikia might as well go and buy our wiki. However, I have noticed that they don't link to us any more. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 09:53, 7 January 2008 (PST)

| ::Just an update, this wiki is the third result in Google! [[User:Samanathon|Samanathon]] 22:17, 9 January 2008 (PST)
| |
| :::If you search for Futurama alone on Google, we appear on page 3, and I cannot even seen the Wikia wiki by page 12. I say quite good given there are over 13 million results for Futurama on Google. Hah. Remember, Google does not base its relevance on links by its titles, but rather by what other sites links to it as. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 16:19, 25 January 2008 (PST)
| |
| ::::There are tricks to getting a website higher up on Google's results the interlinking within this wiki could be enough to boost our position, it's what helps other wikis. If there's a wiki for a topic it's almost always on the first few results. The more often we link to [[Futurama]] rather than just typing it the better (though adding "Futurama" to articles needlessly is a bad idea). Also, duplicating the Futurama page to Futurama/Futurama and linking between them would help too. That worked for [www.google.com.au/search?q=Charlie+Todd Charlie Todd]. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 18:26, 25 January 2008 (PST)

| ==Merchandise==
| |
| Hey, I was thinking we should maybe include info on Futurama merchandise as well as the fiction? Some suggestions:
| |
| *Sections on action figures, statues and other toys and such in character articles
| |
| *Similar sections on merchandise in articles on objects, products or animals, like sections on merch incarnations of the PE ship, Slurm or Brain slugs.
| |
| *Articles on certain lines of toys or merchandise like shirts/clothing, the retro tin wind-ups, games etc.
| |
| I got this idea from the Transformers wikia, which obviously is much more closely connected with toys than Futurama, but still thought it might be a good idea. Thoughts? [[User:SwitChar|SwitChar]] 07:35, 21 October 2007 (PDT)
| |
| :I don't know about having it ''in'' the articles. They're filled with extraneous info as it is, and any more may burst them! But it really depends on how in-depth the info is, I guess. If it's just a quick "There's a toy of this thing" and a screenshot, that could easily be added... But if it's a detailed description and examination and critical review and notes on all points of articulation, then they probably need their own article (or an article for all merch, each thing with its own section). --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 13:23, 21 October 2007 (PDT)
| |
| :Actually many articles ''Don't'' have extraneous info, only a select few do. There actually needs to be more with extraneous info. At least, if you want the informational purpose of the wiki to be fulfilled.[[User:Anarchy Balsac|Anarchy Balsac]] 18:47, 4 January 2008 (PST)

| == The Films ==
| |
| Let's talk about the films. So far, we are getting a release soon of the first one. However, I hate to admit, but yes, it is already leaked and wild on the Internet. While I do not endorse it, I could simply not wait. So yes, I have watched it. While I will reveal as little of the plot as possible before the film is released. I can tell the following "hard data":
| |
| | |
| The production code for the film is ''not'' XACV01, it is 5ACV01, 5ACV02, 5ACV03, 5ACV04, clearly making the production code for the four episodes it is supposed to be cut into.
| |
| | |
| Yes, the film has a title caption. And most appropriately it is "It just won't stay dead!", which I suggest as a quote on the front page. That is all for now.
| |
|
| |
|
| P.S. Don't think I am not getting a real copy of the film, I have already preordered it, so there. I am a honest guy, just a very impatient honest guy. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 02:57, 20 November 2007 (PST)

| :I have already reserved my copy on Amazon. I see no reason not to post advanced details on the [[Bender's Big Score]] page--as long as a spoiler alert is included for people like me who are waiting for the movie to arrive in a mailbox near me. Almost every other show-centric wiki posts advance info on upcoming episodes, and I see this as being no different. But I won't read it until after I watch my copy of the movie. And I won't seek out the internet version. Also, while I was on Amazon, I ordered the 2008 calendar. Hooray Futurama. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 14:04, 22 November 2007 (PST)

| We have been running on required registration for a while now, and while it appears to be working just fine, I still feel it would be better if we allowed unregistered people to edit articles. But to avoid spambots we can use one of the following extensions; [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit ConfirmEdit] or [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA ReCAPTCHA], I personal suggest the former one. This extension will require users unregistered to enter a CAPTCHA every time they edit. Are you logged in, you are not required to do so. It allows unregistered people to edit small things. E.g. a random bystander who spots an error in article, and just wants to fix it briefly, but has no intention of becoming a full member.

| | == Notability == |
| :While I somewhat agree with your statement, I also somewhat disagree. The problem is that a lot of viewers who come here for the purpose of the wiki (delivering information to the public) can at times spot errors in the things we have written and perhaps think that they could just fix that for us (as a gesture), but not for the idea of being a complete member. But (some of) these people aren't really gonna do that when they are blocked by the "registration required" page. Which means we can have a good deal of typos left in the wild. I still think we should try it. If it is a failure, then we will close it again. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 06:19, 13 January 2008 (PST)

| ===What happened=== | | == Chinese Infosphere - coming up == |
| The total outage was caused by the fact that I attempted to put things back the way they were: I moved the files back to futurama.etcetera and disabled the mirroring. However, after the mirroring was fully disabled, it still didn't load up the files that were there. I was thinking that if I could move everything back, I could start from scratch and actually get some advice from knowledgeable people before doing stupid sh*t like I seem to do. Anyway, I let that sit for around forty-eight hours, and when it didn't fix itself, I moved the files back to theinfosphere.org, which is still working fine. So, all the files are now at this new address, and the mirroring is still disabled (hence the no-workingness of the other url). As for the images, yes. If disabling referring url's clears up the problem, then it obviously really is the whitelist/hotlink block. I have viewed the .htaccess file and can see no references. However, the original hotlink block was set up via dreamhost's panel. But now, when attempting to view the hotlink settings, it says none are set up. So the move retained the settings, but made dreamhost's panel not recognize them anymore somehow. I would be glad to hear any advice you may have on how to solve this problem, as I am apparently very, very dumb. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 16:14, 21 February 2008 (PST)
| | :''Move to [[Table:Chinese Infosphere - coming up]].'' |
| :Well, I know sometimes when settings are lost you can just set them again and it over rights the old stuff. Not that I've even done it on a web server. Is it possible the settings are somehow still on the old location (probably not if you moved all the data). Dreamhost is probably doing things in a non standard way if there's nothing in the htaccess. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 17:44, 21 February 2008 (PST)
| |
| :Also, when this is sorted again we might as well leave a notice, redirect and/or mirror at the old address. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 19:03, 21 February 2008 (PST)
| |
| :Well, my first suggestion would be to give DreamHost a call on how to remove the mirroring. Alternatively look for similarities of [http://altlab.com/htaccess_tutorial.html this] in the .htaccess files, I know you said there weren't any in it right now, so it is plausible that the information DreamHost keeps for such is done another place. So instead, try an enable the blocking and then disable it. That may overwrite it like Quolnok said. But write a mail to DreamHost while you're at it... couldn't hurt! --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 03:28, 22 February 2008 (PST)

Where I watched all episodes in three days due to a tip from a friend. Ever since then, I have been hooked! --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 06:13, 4 February 2008 (PST)

| After a few days of downtime, we are finally back up and running. The images are working, the new domain is working, but the old domain isn't, however, I have informed Buddy on how to fix it. I welcome you all to the new domain. :) --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 05:35, 28 February 2008 (PST)

| :Yall should have redirected it, I went searching on google and everything and only found dead links to the old URL.[[User:Anarchy Balsac|Anarchy Balsac]] 19:45, 4 March 2008 (PST)
| |
| ::Try again. I just checked the google links and they all work fine. And they've already registered the new domain, so searches for "Futurama WIki" lead to the new domain, but we've dropped below the wikia wiki. I really don't know how to fix that, but maybe the Interwiki linking will help, since we can put links in Wikipedia on Futurama-related pages and such. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 18:58, 5 March 2008 (PST)

| ::Yeah, the old URL finally redirected me here(albiet, with a typo) which is how I found this place. I seriously thought the place went over it's size limit(which is not uncommon with wikis).[[User:Anarchy Balsac|Anarchy Balsac]] 21:09, 6 March 2008 (PST)

| And we owe it all to '''Svip'''. After being retarded for two or three weeks (surely it wasn't a month? (refuses to check dates)), I just gave svip some good ole FTP access, and he had it fixed in what I can assume was three seconds. Let us all give Svip a round of applause! --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 14:59, 3 March 2008 (PST)
| | == Forum style for the Conference Table? == |
| :Redirect at old domain seems faulty; this [http://futurama.overt-ops.com/Fry/o http://futurama.overt-ops.com/Fry/o] takes you to theinfosphere.orgfry/o probably redirecting from futurama.overt-ops.com/ (with slash) to theinfosphere.org (without slash) or similar.- [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 16:38, 3 March 2008 (PST) | | :''Moved to [[Table:Forum style for the Conference Table?]]''. |
| ::Yes, I know. I have no idea what the dilly-yo. Oddness indeed. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 17:34, 3 March 2008 (PST)
| |
| :::If on the actual redirect itself only futurama.overt-ops has a slash; Put a slash on the other. If neither do, add them in. If both do remove them. Or if redirects are set up in a way where you can only see one link, remove or add the slash. Those are my guesses. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 17:53, 3 March 2008 (PST)
| |
| ::::Quolnok is right, Buddy, you have to add a slash at the end of the redirect. It is important, you might have to delete the domain once more and "recreate" it. Remember domain: <big>'''futurama.overt-ops.com'''</big> redirect: <big>'''http://theinfosphere.org/'''</big>. Do it like that and it should work. I have tried it myself using DreamHost's systems. But the slash is important. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 04:07, 4 March 2008 (PST)

| :::::Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Well, I'll get to that as soon as Dreamhost is accessible again. They seem to be offline...--[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 13:21, 4 March 2008 (PST) [update]: Done and done. Thanks all for the assistance. Hopefully it'll be a while before I have to do anything else technical, since apparently I'm really bad at it. And right now my emails won't send (yet oddly I can receive), so I have that problem to try to fix as well... --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 13:24, 4 March 2008 (PST)
