Revision as of 01:51, 19 August 2005

This is under extensive construction, but it should eventually be something similar to Wikipedia's community portal. If you have suggestions or ideas, feel free to help us improve it. — Joey (talk·edits) 15:31, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Screenshot

Thinkin' we need a screenshot of The Stick here. →FireBird

I'ma try and get one. --acekirby13 20:26, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Done. -- Tom 20:29, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Aw! I wanted to do a whole new one, from the bird, but oh well. (I had it all ready to be uploaded too...) --acekirby13 20:42, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

could you email the pic to me acekirby13 (P.S. My email is at my user page)Joel|_{Talk Contributions}

Thumbnail

The thumbnail we have of The Stick seems to be overlapping the background image of The Stick on the page. We should remove the thumbnail; the page looks better without it anyway (in my opinion, of course). --Gafaddict 18:09, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

If you're using a browser that can properly interpret CSS, the page is elongated to eliminate the overlap. Once the page has more information on it, this will no longer be a problem. I suppose we could remove the thumbnail in the meantime... — Joey (talk·edits) 18:40, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Now you see me, and now you don't.

The Stick isn't always in the navigation panel. I'm not sure if it's for certain pages or just random. If it's for certain pages I'll give an example soon. Kvb 21:07, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Example: The Halloween House. (This one seems to not have The Stick in navigation.) Kvb 21:10, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

(Edit Conflict- My Reply)

It isn't? That's odd. It always is for me (unless I haven't noticed it). Maybe you should take this up with the mods. Tom and Pidgeot are good with Wiki glitches. --acekirby13 21:11, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Try a hard refresh. (Ctrl+F5). That usually fixes things up with me. →FireBird

By the way, when I go to The Halloween House, I can still see The Stick in the navigation. As suggested above, try a Hard Refresh. --acekirby13 21:14, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Nope, that hard refresh thing's not working. Kvb 21:16, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Try clearing your cache completely. — Joey (talk·edits) 21:17, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Okay, so far I'm not having the problem anymore. That must've been it. Kvb 21:20, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

New Committees

Is it alright if we start new committees? -- The Real Zajac 15:38, 10 May 2005 (PDT)

Talk it over with Joey first. →FireBird

Protection

Do you guys think HRWiki:The Stick is worth protecting?-^Gordon^

I do. Like the main page, this is rarely changed. This deserves protection much more than the main page, in my opinion. User:Rogue Leader.sig 01:30, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I disagree with your last point, Rogue. The main page is the most visited page on the site. The Stick is not. The only reason why this page should possibly be protected is because it isn't changed much. It is one of the most trolled pages on the site because it is the first editable page linked on the sidebar. I don't think protecting it would help much, because trolls would simply move on to H*R.com updates and Strong Bad Email. Besides, trolling at the stick is usually reverted pretty quickly. —BazookaJoe 01:37, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)

So were the Main Page edits. Look at The Stick's history. Most them are trolling edits. User:Rogue Leader.sig 01:43, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I didn't say I strongly oppose protecting this page. From the perspective of the wiki as a whole, it wouldn't do much. But I guess that's the wrong perspective. —BazookaJoe 01:48, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I strongly oppose protecting it. See my arguments here. — It's dot com 01:51, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)
