Infosphere:Conference Table/Old format

Buddy13 Creating this page for general discussion, outside of any specific page. Categorizing it as "Meta" even though its existence within the "FuturamaWiki" namespace should make that painfully obvious. This page is for discussing general policies or changes, mainly intended for admins/sysops, but I'll leave it open for everyone.

Vandalism

Again I ask: Why? This place barely started and already there's a douchebag who feels the need to vandalize this place. If the guy that's doing it has enough balls, I'd love to hear from him why he's doing this (but he doesn't, he'll probably just clear this page or fill it with his inane gibberish). So, there's my challenge, vandal. Talk to me like a man, if you've got the balls.

Templates

Buddy13 I don't know, man. All this Template business seems like unnecessary work...

Buddy13 Wait, I think I get it. Is it just a copy/paste template? Like none o' that {{Template}} stuff? Cuz yeah, that's cool.

User:Gopher/sig Even easier than copy/pasting, you just type in {{subst:CharacterArticleTemplate}} into the blank article and save. It creates the template you see for Amy now - and makes it editable, so you can insert items. Also includes comments to guide formatting and such. If the Wiki were 80% or even 50% complete I would agree that it is not worth the time, but doing it up-front can save us a lot of time going through pages trying to impose consistency later. Of course it's a moot point if we don't get more regular contributors than the two of us and some jackasses. :shrug:

Using the Summary

Buddy13 Please be sure to use the "Summary" field when editing to indicate what you're changing. This allows everyone to know, just by checking the Recent Changes page. And if mistakes were made (or certain things were left blank) this allows users who may know about the subject to get to it quicker.
