{{Category}}[edit | edit source]

I've created {{Category}} but it is used on a small number of categories. Should I remove it? Southparkfan 12:00, 23 December 2013 (CET)

I think we should wait before to delete it, maybe it will be useful once we'll have more categories. Linedwell (talk) 17:15, 23 December 2013 (CET)

The wiki isn't yet openened and we already reached the first 100 articles. Congratulations to everyone. Linedwell (talk) 22:25, 23 December 2013 (CET)

Thanks. :) The one hundredth article is Leerdam. Southparkfan 22:27, 23 December 2013 (CET)

Administrator... Sysop?[edit | edit source]

Why "administrator"? In all the English wikis, an administrator is a "sysop". What do you think about this...? Comedia Paperback book black gal.svg 09:30, 25 December 2013 (CET)

Because, even on the English Wikipedia, sysop is just an alias for Administrator (see wp:Wikipedia:Administrators). Linedwell (talk) 10:01, 25 December 2013 (CET)
Sysop : system operator. Technically, they are not sysop (Plyd, Thilp, and me ARE sysadmin). Vivi-1(fr)Bla ? 13:20, 25 December 2013 (CET)
We should find a name adapted to Vikidia, but I have no idea! Plyd (talk) 10:14, 26 December 2013 (CET)
Proposition : The vikitechnicians ! :D --Adidas100 (discuss) 14:22, 26 December 2013 (CET)

And Vikioperator? -- Comedia Paperback book black gal.svg 15:52, 26 December 2013 (CET)

For me sysop and admin are the same thing... --Sepp.P (talk) 16:00, 26 December 2013 (CET)
Vikioperator is not bad... --Sepp.P (talk) 16:03, 26 December 2013 (CET)

Special:Import[edit | edit source]

Hi everybody !

Seems that we are having a good start !

I wanted to tell about this function: Special:Import. It is set up (by Plyd) so you can choose to import an article from Simple English Wikipedia (en en.wikipedia.org and fr.vikidia.org as well). It is made to comply with the license terms (the authors can then be found in the "history", however marked as user@externalwiki, see here. I think that we should use it to grow this wiki with some part of the work already done on SEWP. However, we may start with care, so we can watch and discuss what it brings to this wiki, and built a policy on it if needed. I mean we may choose the articles to import, and then edit and check them, so they can fully fit in this wiki. I guess that with some practice, we may have some ideas on how to do that in the best way, be it still slowly and safely, or with some automatics applications to select larger numbers of articles.

Oppose Oppose: NO, If we import article, after we will fix it, I don't like do this. -- Comedia Paperback book black gal.svg 21:57, 25 December 2013 (CET)
Oppose Oppose Templates: OK, articles: NO. Reason will I provide later. Southparkfan 23:52, 25 December 2013 (CET)

Names of userrights - plural or not plural[edit | edit source]

On IRC there is a discussion about of the names of userrights, should they be plural (Administator → Administrators, Developer → Developers, Check[Uu]ser → Check[Uu]sers etc.) or not (Administators → Administrator, Developers → Developer, Check[Uu]sers → Check[Uu]ser etc.)? I like to hear your opinion. Regards, Southparkfan 14:03, 26 December 2013 (CET)

In my opinion, beacause this is group names, I tend to vote for the plural. In my mind it's displayed like [group of] administrators, [group of] bots, etc... -- Linedwell (talk) 14:06, 26 December 2013 (CET)
Plural. -- Comedia Paperback book black gal.svg 14:10, 26 December 2013 (CET)!

Other early-vikidians ?[edit | edit source]

Do you know some other future vikidians who would like to contribute to this Vikidia ?
You can send them the password if you think they can love it too! Did you try? Plyd (talk) 15:55, 27 December 2013 (CET)

I don't now the rest, but I make a video in Youtube for call participants. -- Comedia Paperback book black gal.svg 16:04, 27 December 2013 (CET)
