Works for the launching of the wiki[edit | edit source]

Another subject, there is quite a few page we have to develop and check to be ready for the wiki launching. Here are the one I think about, if you can help, you're welcome !

By the way, these kind of page are on Category:Vikidia. Astirmays (talk) 13:22, 17 February 2014 (CET)

I see there is also Vikidia:Copyright to create, and write in the right places that the content of Vikidia and the content that is submitted it under the two licenses CC BY-SA 3.0 and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). Do you know which is the mediawiki message for the bottom of every page ? Astirmays (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2014 (CET)

Import of article from SEWP and Wikijunior[edit | edit source]

We don't have to do that urgently, but one day we can also better and discus the page : Vikidia:Import of article from SEWP and Wikijunior. You don't use it very often do you ? I tried it actually for Rhine, Roman numeral from SEWP and Gold or Tyrannosaurus from Wikijunior. I could see that you have to choose carefully an article (not every articles on Simple or Wikijunior are good) and to rework a great part of it after you have imported it, so that's still some work but it makes then a good result and faster than if you have to write it from scratch. You know, readers on fr.vikidia on the guest-book often say they want more content in the articles : so when we make a 2 or 3 lines stub articles, that may not be enough for months before someone expand it... Would you use the special import page a bit more ? Astirmays (talk) 01:15, 18 February 2014 (CET)

Launching[edit | edit source]

Shall we launch the wiki on the 28th of February ? 10 days left ! Astirmays (talk) 19:52, 18 February 2014 (CET)

I can't imagine how anyone can think of launching this site. I just spent an hour writing an article on Beethoven's Fifth Symphony only to have it trashed with the message "This page cannot be displayed". This has happened too many times to count. I feel dirty and used. I've hung around but most editors who are going to suffer this sort of abuse won't stay. The site is cutting off its nose to spite its face. Until every glitch is worked out of this site, it should not open. SeeSpotRun (talk) 17:06, 21 February 2014 (CET)
I haven't had such kind of problem yet... But In can easily imagine that, in that case, it should be fixed, indeed, before the site open to public... -Fraf (talk) 12:06, 22 February 2014 (CET)
