The final version of RayWiki is available!

[Cairnie]

I have an idea for a rule:

"Any addition to RayWiki must contain at least one piece of information which is not almost definitely already known to those who view it."

Worst rule ever. :/

[Acarr]

I thought you could IP ban people?

[Cairnie]

I can, but I usually do it to anyone that's a complete nuisance, like spam bots. I'm sick and tired of unregistered people editing, good or bad. All I can identify is where their IPs lead to, and I'm having to keep begging Hunchman to disable anonymous editing for all articles.

As for that idea for a rule, it just failed. As nice as it is, you don't always have to have any brand new information to make a good contribution to a wiki.

[Acarr]

Not everyone reads rules, anyway.

[Xenon]

I wonder how that rule could be applied for added information like, for example, a red Lum.

[Jman]

Yeah true. I would like to hope that this is not the final version of the wiki, I think that the wiki deserves some graphical changes (maybe some changes that make the wiki suit the Rayman world, and not the Pirate Community).

[Hunchman801]

Because this is the final version doesn't mean we can't change it. It does only been that beta-testing is over, but nothing prevents us from changing the layout or adding new features

[Jman]

I think we should change the scheme from this dark green, gray theme that PC uses, to some dark blue, purple theme that feels more Rayman like.

[Cairnie]

I agree with Jman. Purples, yellows, greens, they may suit it more.

[Jman]

Yeah, I thought that the original RZ style was quite good, and it suited the Rayman world very very well.

[Cairnie]

I have another suggestion: I think we should start using collapsing objects for our templates, galleries and stuff. Both my Rayman M Race and Rayman M Battle templates could do with it since they seem to take up quite some vertical space.

I say RayWiki should have a new main page. It is kind of bad, what with a partial list of games on left and partial list of characters on right...it just seems off-balance, and is not as good as the rest of the wiki at all.

I think we should have a main page like Wikipedia's, but the bubble in the middle should have something like this in it, and there should only be French and English. And some design around the borders and everything...

[Cairnie]

I think I nailed the basics of doing boxes like Wikipedia's front page, and here's a basic gist of it [using Mario wiki once again as a guide]

It's only a mock so far but these boxes are easily customisable and will make stuff like featured articles and shizz look so much more organised, seriously.

[Hunchman801]

It does really look great I can't wait until we use them in the front page As concerns the collapsing tables, I've added the necessary code to the JavaScript file but it doesn't seem to work for some reason

[Cairnie]

Maybe we're not ready for that stuff yet.

I'll continue making these boxes up with the right colours in my own user page when I get back from another visit to Uni.

[Jman]

Nice stuff, I think we should start changing the shades of green to shades of blue and purple.

You know, this one of those instances when Spiral is right.

I'm almost finished with the Blue Mountains now By a few months, we should have everything about Rayman 1 on RayWiki

Well I think you are both wrong. That bubble thing is for selecting different languages to read, and how many do we have? Three. And how many languages with multiple pages? Two. I say we hold off on that idea for a while.

Excellent, and I see you got rid of the fan terms as well [ie "Raymanian" category].

I don't really like the idea of a splash page either for the wiki. It should be easy enough to access the French version via templates and the side bar.
