21:36.13Robotnick2Is anyone still on? I have a problem with the new taxonomy...
21:40.10Osesure
21:40.53Robotnick2I can't get a creature to show up on the family page
21:41.08Oselink the pages
21:41.55Robotnick2I've tried, i've clicked the add creature button but it's not adding the creature. It's adding the info to the creature page, but not the creature to the family page.
21:42.24Osegimme a link to the pages
21:42.55Robotnick2http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:Artummayla and http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Taxon:Psittacidae
21:43.21Robotnick2Ooh, that's weird...
21:43.49Osethere
21:43.55Osethe page had to be purged
21:44.07Robotnick2Ah, I see.
21:44.14Robotnick2Ok, thanks.
21:44.35Oseand also, that image of the bird, that isn't the downloadable png?
21:44.52Robotnick2Also, how do you convert existing taxa to the new format? And, isn't it?
21:45.07Oseit looks like it has been edited
21:45.11Osemuch whitespace
21:45.49Robotnick2Actually, you're right. Hmm., there's nothing I can do about it, I can contact the owner, but that's about it...
21:46.13Osehttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Converting_taxa
21:46.37Robotnick2Oh, right... *feels really stupid*
21:47.16Oseits really quite simple, there just isn't a lot of margin for mistakes
21:47.32Osea teeny mistake and the whole page breaks
21:48.27Robotnick2Argh, I'll be careful! I'll try and do as many as I can. I'm assuming it's easier to work from the bottom up, so to speak?
21:49.13Osethe best thing is to do a whole "line" and save them all at once
21:49.26Osethen purge the page cache
21:49.44Robotnick2Right. Mammalia's looking harder and harder, huh?
21:50.00Oseyeah
21:50.39Robotnick2:-) I'll try not to break anything... my computer moniter included....
21:50.44Oseactually it could be simplified a lot if someone went over them all and added just the parent value
21:50.53Osebut that would also be a lot of work
21:51.06Osebut then stuff wouldn't break as easily
21:52.08Robotnick2And it would probably be easier to just do it all while we're here...
21:52.26Robotnick2Hangon, AFK for a sec.
21:53.48Robotnick2OK, I'm back.
22:11.17OseRobotnick2: http://spore.wikia.com/index.php?title=Taxon:Mammalia&curid=13478&diff=147129&oldid=145817
22:11.29Osesee all the links that we "loose" when you do that?
22:11.43Robotnick2Yes, I have them jotted down.
22:11.48Robotnick2I'm working on them.
22:12.24Osewell okay, but if you have to stop working on them, you need to add [[parent::mammalia]] to it before you quit
22:12.24morgothBotPyOse meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/parent::mammalia
22:12.39Oseerr, thats not intended behaviour from the bot
22:13.03Robotnick2Umm.... you should talk to morgoth....
22:13.03Oseand likewise for any other pages we might "loose"
22:13.13Osemeh
22:13.24OseI think he'll read the log
22:13.54Oseoh and also you can just remove {{tax}} while you're at it
22:13.55morgothBotPyOse meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Template:tax
22:14.11Robotnick2*sigh*
22:14.23Robotnick2This is gonna be a LOOONG evening.
22:14.29Osehehe
22:14.41Osehence why we're not done with it yet
22:14.48Oseit takes a looong time
22:14.58Robotnick2[[Creature:Fushida]], let's see if the bot takesthe bait...
22:14.58morgothBotPyRobotnick2 meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:Fushida
22:15.06Robotnick2Hah!
22:15.56Robotnick2Anyway, I've just done Agnathadea. Do you want me to do the "children" of Agnethadea, or the "brothers"?
22:16.21Osechildren before siblings
22:16.26Robotnick2Right.
22:16.45Osedo you use firefox?
22:17.02Robotnick2Flock, which is based on FireFox, why?
22:18.24Oseuseful addon for this: treestyle tabs
22:18.51Osewhen you open the link to pages in new tabs it creates a hierarchy of sorts
22:19.06Osemakes it easier to have lots of tabs open
22:19.42Robotnick2Ok, I'll look for it.
22:20.28Robotnick2Hang on, have to restart Flock. BRB.
22:21.03*** join/#sporewiki Robotnick2 (n=568acd0f@gateway/web/cgi-irc/irc.wikia.com/x-rosfihponbbnprst)
22:21.34Robotnick2Well, this is wierd...
22:21.46Robotnick2Well, this is weird...
22:22.25Osedouble weird?
22:22.31Robotnick2O_O
22:22.45Robotnick2That's not supposed to happen.
22:22.53Robotnick2MORGOTHBOT!
22:22.58Robotnick2;-)
22:23.20Robotnick2We can just blame anything that goes wrong on MorgothBot.
22:24.03Osewait, isn't flock designed for social stuff?
22:24.10Osesurely you can use chatzilla with it?
22:24.34Robotnick2Erm, not sure, I'll try...
22:27.12*** join/#sporewiki Robotnick2 (n=568acd0f@gateway/web/cgi-irc/irc.wikia.com/x-louemeobpgyennjb)
22:28.38Robotnick2There, chatzilla loaded.
22:29.32Robotnick2Now, how would I connect to sporewiki?
22:32.02Ose[[SporeWiki:IRC]]
22:32.03morgothBotPyOse meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:IRC
22:32.19Oseanyhow I have to go
22:32.29Oseexam-ish test tomorrow
22:32.53Robotnick2Ok, bye. I'll do as many Taxa as I can.
22:32.57Robotnick2And good luck!
22:33.37Oseand to prove just how awesome treestyle tabs are, i'm now going to with one click save all of cryptia and its children and childrens children to one-click open them all again at a later time
