Angry Birds Wiki:Chat/Logs/31 January 2017

 [12:12]  ??? [12:23]  hi guys [12:23]  hi [12:25]  ็Hi. [12:25]  Sorry for replying late. [12:25]  Just seen your message. [12:27]  Today topics I have to say to you all is about this wiki in the future. [12:28]  These days I think this wiki is quite deserted and very few activities each day. [12:28]  true [12:29]  That is the reason why I call everyone in chat. [12:30]  Thread:71771 [12:30]  Last week Boomerang wrote this thread to make users more attention to make level walkthroughs. [12:31]  You know? Most users in this wiki are interested in the characters and Toons.TV contents, but abandoned level walkthroughs very very much. [12:32]  Well, for walkthroughs, they refer to angrybirdsnest [12:32]  Yep. [12:32] <Iamarepeater> Can't blame them though [12:32] <Mighty Blues> guys [12:32] <Bp101697> Even Candy Crush Wiki has the level walkthroughs. [12:32] <Mighty Blues> you like ab blast? [12:32] <Iamarepeater> I do [12:33] <Bp101697> And there are many other walkthrough sites. [12:33] <Iamarepeater> Nice time travel exploit [12:33] <Iamarepeater> But are they well known? [12:33] <Bp101697> What do you think about Boomerang's suggestion? I think it is not work as long as we don't have more users in this. [12:34] <Iamarepeater> Also, he just left again [12:35] <Bp101697> We should accept the truth. [12:35] <Iamarepeater> Yeah... [12:35] <Bp101697> Angry Birds Franchise is not as popular as a few years ago [12:35] <Iamarepeater> True [12:35] <Iamarepeater> Its flame dies out over time [12:35] <Bp101697> And they release the trash games rather than updates in Angry Birds Space and others. [12:36] <Bp101697> For ABBlast! I think they mayn't add more levels. [12:36] <Bp101697> Waiting for a long time and no more levels since Dec 22. [12:36] <Iamarepeater> They updated it [12:36] <Iamarepeater> They said they added 15 mor levels [12:36] <Iamarepeater> *more [12:36] <Bp101697> Maybe I don't follow them about this game [12:37] <Iamarepeater> Nvm [12:37] <Iamarepeater> Checked but no new levels [12:37] <Bp101697> Now what do you think if we allow anon users to contribute here, but can't be staff members? [12:38] <Iamarepeater> 100% of the time, anon users can't be staff members [12:38] <Bp101697> And how can we have more users to contribute here? Add badges? No! [12:38] <Iamarepeater> I think we need to take a risk [12:38] <Bp101697> Yep. [12:39] <Bp101697> That is the reason why we disable amost every features in the past. [12:39] <Iamarepeater> But keep disabling anous editing [12:39] <Iamarepeater> We had trouble with such users back in the PVZ wiki [12:39] <Bp101697> Sometimes they can be annoying as they spam comments everywhere. [12:40] <Iamarepeater> So I think we do it [12:40] <Iamarepeater> We have a trial first [12:41] <Bp101697> http://candycrush.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:407567 [12:41] <Iamarepeater> And I find my edits repetitive even though my name suggest I like such edits [12:41] <Bp101697> In CCSW, anon users can contribute. When I ask to restrict anon... [12:41] <Bp101697> Nobody agrees. [12:42] <Iamarepeater> Well then, maybe we try [12:42] <Iamarepeater> No record of spammers for the past 3 months [12:42] <Bp101697> Yep. [12:42] <Iamarepeater> We just let them know that they won't be able to easily track the pages they edit [12:42] <Bp101697> However, we have to ask all the staff members and other users in this wiki for approval. [12:43] <Iamarepeater> Yes [12:43] <Iamarepeater> For sure [12:43] <Bp101697> What do you think why PvZW can grow in a few years? [12:44] <Iamarepeater> Badges [12:44] <Bp101697> At first there are fewer articles than this wiki, but now 1000+ more. [12:44] <Iamarepeater> I think more diluted editing [12:44] <Iamarepeater> Since more games [12:47] <Bp101697> I think focusing on Charactes on cartoon-based Wiki like Pokemon, Tom&amp;Jerry, Cartoon Network, etc, or movies like Wookiepedia is okay, but Angry Birds and Mario, I think it is strange the level walkthroughs is not as successful as PvZW and CCSW even if all are the very popular games. [12:47] <Bp101697> Wait. [12:47] <Bp101697> I think only ABW is enough. [12:47] <Iamarepeater> Both PVZ and CCS only had like 1 or two games [12:48] <Iamarepeater> It allows for more precise editing [12:48] <Bp101697> CCS has only one game because each game in Candy Crush series has different wikis. [12:48] <Iamarepeater> yep [12:48] <Bp101697> Unlike PvZ that every game is in only one. [12:48] <Iamarepeater> But if we disband this wiki and split the games [12:49] <Bp101697> I think it is not a good idea. [12:49] <Iamarepeater> I fear the byte for each game will be reduced severely [12:49] <Iamarepeater> Yep [12:49] <Bp101697> Example: Angry Birds Ace Fighter Wiki... I think there can be up to 200 articles [12:50] <Iamarepeater> But each will be very weak [12:50] <Iamarepeater> and it's a dead game [12:50] <Bp101697> For Space, around 1000. [12:50] <Bp101697> Star Wars, 600. [12:50] <Bp101697> Star Wars II, 500-700. [12:50] <Bp101697> Original, 1000-1500. [12:50] <Bp101697> Not work [12:51] <Bp101697> But CCSW there are 6500+ pages. [12:51] <Iamarepeater> Around 1500 articles for each level, 1000 for each moon level [12:51] <Iamarepeater> And 2500 for walkthrough [12:53] <Bp101697> Around 2500-3000 articles for levels, 665 for DW levels, 1000+ for past versions, 300+ for others, and some pages have only polls [12:53] <Iamarepeater> Exactly [12:53] <Bp101697> I wonder if anyone except me has seen Boomerang's thread. [12:53] <Iamarepeater> I did [12:54] <Iamarepeater> I just didn't reply [12:54] <Bp101697> Because nobody besides me replied him. [12:55] <Bp101697> Thread:47594 I wonder if this is a good idea. [12:55] <Bp101697> Parallel wiki of this. [12:56] <Iamarepeater> Bad idea [12:56] <Iamarepeater> What's wrong with having fan ideas outside mainspace articles? [12:57] <Bp101697> I think so. [12:57] <Bp101697> At first I thought it was a good idea, but after I rethought, no good [01:01] <Bp101697> Special:Contributions/Michael, The Lord Of Wikia [01:02] <Bp101697> IDK if he is diapoointed so he didn't contribute since Jan 6. [01:02] <Bp101697> *hasn't contributed [01:02] <Bp101697> *disappointed [01:02] <Iamarepeater> Well, maybe he has college [01:02] <Iamarepeater> Just like how I have school and I should be doing my work instead of this [01:03] <Bp101697> I think he rather has a work on his career. [01:03] <Bp101697> He is much older than us. [01:03] <Iamarepeater> The point still stands [01:03] <Iamarepeater> He might not have time [01:04] <Bp101697> Yep. [01:04] <Iamarepeater> Angry Birds Wiki:Manual of Style [01:04] <Iamarepeater> Please edit this for me [01:05] <Bp101697> Where? [01:05] <Iamarepeater> Like add more points [01:05] <Iamarepeater> I will do it myself but it's protected [01:06] <Bp101697> Now I unlocked. [01:07] <Iamarepeater> I won't mess it up [01:08] <Bp101697> Okay. [01:04] <Iamarepeater> Angry Birds Wiki:Manual of Style [01:04] <Iamarepeater> Please edit this for me [01:05] <Bp101697> Where? [01:05] <Iamarepeater> Like add more points [01:05] <Iamarepeater> I will do it myself but it's protected [01:06] <Bp101697> Now I unlocked. [01:07] <Iamarepeater> I won't mess it up [01:08] <Bp101697> Okay. [01:12] <Bp101697> Blackout. [01:13] <Bp101697> Test [01:22] <Iamarepeater> So how is it? [01:37] <Bp101697> What? [01:39] <Iamarepeater> I made some changes to the manual of style [01:44] <Bp101697> Okay. [01:44] <Bp101697> Now I locked the page. [01:44] <Iamarepeater> I just hope after I made this, new pages won't have triva with galleries below it [01:48] <Bp101697> Okay. [01:48] <Bp101697> http://candycrush.wikia.com/wiki/Level_500 Like this? [01:48] <Iamarepeater> A bit like that [01:49] <Iamarepeater> At least there are some consistence [01:49] <Iamarepeater> However, IMO, board info should be above triva [01:49] <Iamarepeater> But otherwise, nothing wrong [01:51] <Bp101697> Okay. [01:51] <Bp101697> I think notes like this should be applied in ABBlast! walkthrough. [01:51] <Iamarepeater> Of course [01:51] <Iamarepeater> I will refer to them when I start making the levels [01:52] <Iamarepeater> Like bread need 8 hits untopped [01:52] <Iamarepeater> With topping, you need max 12
