00:11.40Kirkburn|afkHey clad
00:11.47cladhaireheyas
00:11.49Kirkburn|afkDon't think any of them are on atm
00:11.52cladhairebah
00:11.59cladhairei really want to get in touch with one of them
00:12.03cladhairemake sure i'm not causing any problems.
00:12.13cladhairecause i've run into a few issues, and I'm trying to work them out.
00:12.19Kirkburn|afkBtw, see the end of http://www.wowwiki.com/WW:SIG ... Sheer awesomeness abounds!
00:12.45Kirkburn|afkGimme a sec, I'll see what I can find
00:13.16cladhairelol nice =)
00:13.26Kirkburn|afkHmm, now seeing recognisable names on the Wowhead article's history
00:13.28Kirkburn|afk*not
00:13.51Kirkburn|afkI know they appear on here from time to time, but I can't recall who atm :(
00:14.05cladhaireits only 60 megs or so.. but I pull it in a matter of 15 minutes or so
00:14.06ShirikKirkburn|afk do you have a moment?
00:14.19Kirkburn|afkAye
00:14.35Shirikyou know Lua right?
00:14.37Kirkburn|afkcladhaire, whatcha talking about?
00:14.42Shirikbasics
00:14.44Kirkburn|afkHah. No, not really.
00:14.48Shirikbleh
00:14.55Kirkburn|afkcladhaire does :)
00:15.02ShirikYeah but cladhaire's busy
00:15.10Kirkburn|afkThere's #wowi-lounge
00:15.16Kirkburn|afkAnd #wowace
00:15.16ShirikYeah but it's really a wowwiki topic
00:15.21*** join/#wowwiki cursenet (n=Netx@69.109.103.158)
00:15.21Kirkburn|afkOh how so?
00:15.23Shirikit's regarding one of the pages
00:15.30Shirikhttp://www.wowwiki.com/Talk:API_and_scripting_quirks
00:15.34Shirikthe portion I wrote about "Variables"
00:15.41Shirikor rather, my contention with that section being there
00:16.10ShirikI really just wanted to know if what I was saying was justified
00:16.21Kirkburn|afkMention to the people on #wowi-lounge - they often use WoWWiki and should be able to give feedback
00:16.53Kirkburn|afkUnless you already did, in which case they're useless :P
00:16.55cladhaireThat section is really poorly written
00:17.05cladhaireShirik: Don't delete it, just rewrite it, and explain scope.
00:17.25ShirikBut see it's in a section called "quirks"
00:17.31Shirikand I fail to see why scope would be considered a "quirk"
00:17.36Shirikreally, it's a feature
00:17.59cladhaireso explain it, saying "This isn't a quirk of the language, but the scoping rules of Lua may be different than what you're used to"
00:18.07cladhaireanything that's different from what people expect, is a quirk
00:18.14Shirikhm ok
00:18.16cladhairebut clarification is necessary
00:18.24cladhaireYou can even make a new Lua_Scoping page,and link to it.
00:18.31Shirikwell what he _had_ written was just completely wrong; I touched it up a little
00:18.45Shirikthe code block a little further down is what he had
00:18.51Shirikwhich has comments on the code that just aren't true
00:18.51cladhaireget rid of everythign there
00:18.57cladhaireand re-write it from a new perspective.
00:19.02cladhairewhoever wrote that, was wrong, plain and simple =)
00:19.24ShirikI think I'll take your idea of making a scope page and link to it
00:19.31Shirikthanks

08:48.27ShirikKirkburn ftl
08:48.55KirkburnFor that shocking insult you must make a cool sig to make up for it
08:49.08Shirikha!
08:49.15ShirikI'm not creative enough to do that
08:49.28ShirikI made you a nice article that you don't understand though :D
08:51.12Kirkburnuhh

08:51.45KirkburnLua Scope, aha

08:53.46Kirkburn29 May 2006 iirc
08:53.55Kirkburn26th possibly
08:55.20ShirikI meant
08:55.26Shirikso like there's no limit on how far you can look back
08:55.27KirkburnBanana!
08:55.31Kirkburnnope, no limit
08:55.34Shirikit's not like purged after 3 months or something
08:55.43KirkburnExcept possibly the sky
08:58.07KirkburnI think my deletion/upload/etc logs are probably about as long as my list of edits. I'm over 10,000 edits.

09:55.04Shirikdelete them?
09:55.12KirkburnThey're not for deletion

10:08.58AdysBy the way
10:09.18AdysI think we should delete all item articles that only contain a stub and/or a category, without any info
10:09.29Adyssince KasoBot would automatically take care of it
10:13.04Kirkburnyes
10:13.09KirkburnSo do I

11:15.34Shirik|zZzIt's somewhat the same stance I take on my forums - we get a lot of bots spamming our forums
11:15.48Shirik|zZzI look at the glass half full. The fact that they're coming to our site indicates we're popular and ranked high on search engines.

12:07.16bleeterwho's on top? i dunno, don't care fore lore
12:07.21bleeterI care for freenode.net :)
12:07.31KirkburnWho won the argument then? :P
12:07.32bleeteryou guys are here, so yer winners in my books :)
12:07.48bleeteroO there's was an argument in the drivel?
12:07.54Kirkburnheh
12:07.58bleeteryou're just trying to make me read it again! aaargh!
12:08.19KirkburnThere was me continually telling them that we're neutral, and that they should use edit summaries
12:08.39KirkburnThen there was them saying they're always right and ignoring everything else
12:08.48bleeteris there any way you can force the comment field to be filled in if, say, there's more than XX chars being deleted?
12:08.54KirkburnNot afaik :(
12:09.05bleeterI mean, prolly is, would require client JS and foo tho
12:10.18bleeter'coz I see *that* being where the real problem is, sure the history of a page can be looked at when there's controversy over a topic. but 'coz bugger all people fill the comment in, it's too much effort for individuals to workj out
12:10.32bleeterso it falls back o the poor bastards who've been sucked in to admin :P
12:11.11bleeterwhen it comes to lore, tho
12:11.13bleetermy take is
12:11.35bleetermetzen's prolly been tied up for past two years in sudden business reality of really popular game, etc., XPAC, etc. etc.
12:11.58bleeterand hasn't been taking whatever substances were aiding his previous lore creation to hold together, etc. etc., thusly it's fallen into a complete mess
12:12.04bleeterand even HE don't know anymore ;)
12:12.48bleeterand, tbh, the lore fans would be such a tiny market to Blizz now, they prolly don't care
12:13.09bleetermy 3c (inflation, ya see)
12:13.15KirkburnWhat is it with everyone saying Blizz doesn't care about the lore?
12:14.06KirkburnBlizz didn't spend all their time on the WC3 patches expanding the lore of it, or creating new lore, they were patching a game.
12:14.16KirkburnSo why should they suddenly be different now?
12:14.44KirkburnWC1 was a game, so was WC2, and so was WC3 surprisingly enough
12:15.08KirkburnIf you really think it's all a mess, that's just silly
12:15.28KirkburnThere are loose ends of course, and some contradictory stuff - just like the real world
12:15.46KirkburnThe sheer size of the Warcraft Universe makes it impossible to make it all neat and tidy
12:16.26KirkburnShould Metzen know every single niggly bit of Warcraft? And Starcraft? And Diablo? No, because he's /human/.
12:17.16bleeterOh, I totally agree. What I'm saying is that new people coming to the game do see it as a mess, and that kinda hurts them a little. Lemme explain.
12:17.24KirkburnThis isn't getting only at you bleeter, I've seen others make sillier comments along the same lines
12:18.30bleeterTake the WC1,2,3 + Books player base size. Pull a figure outta the air - lets say, 2 mill. Current base is 8 mill. Those 2 mill would've largely grown with the lore, but these other 6 mill have it presented as first time. ...
12:18.55KirkburnTrue
12:19.00KirkburnIt's a lot to take in at once
12:19.09bleeterIt's also advertised, by word of mouth or Blizz themselves, as a Universe. People expect consistency. That there are glaring holes in the lore makes a mockery of the 'Universe' idea
12:19.45bleeterNow, to those who say Blizz don't care about the law, I'd say that they're working on an Encylopedia of their own, would tend to dispute this claim
12:19.51bleeters/law/lore/
12:20.14KirkburnBlizz are "laying down the lore" as you might say ;)
12:20.19bleeterhowever, a hundred or so of those original 2m lore fans running around making ambit claims one way or another..
12:20.28bleeter.. yes, while Blizz try to lay down the lore
12:20.59bleeterwhilst Blizz go over all their old stuff, plus what's on the wiki, at scrolls, etc., see what outsiders have picked up
12:21.13bleeteris just going to take them... a *bloody* long time. You're right, metzen is only human.
12:21.43bleeterit's such a huuuge job, that correcting *every* piece of lore would be a near pointless task
12:22.03bleeter*therefore* the only sane thing to do would be to only care about the lore that makes sense to those new 6 mill people
12:22.19Kirkburnaye
12:22.27bleeterand hopefully tie up a few loose ends for the other 2 mil
12:22.53bleeterand, you'll prolly find, it's only a tiny subset of those 2 mil players who really scream 'blizz don't care' from the rooftops
12:23.31bleeterthe other thing to consider, is the movie.
12:24.01bleeterwhatever the plot is, it's going to have to be lore that most players, not a small fraction of lore fanaticals, will agree to
12:24.48bleeternot to say that they should totally ignore that small fraction, but in the overall biz side of things, if they were to adjust something *for the movie* to appease those lore fanaticals... and it's not in a game, or a book, etc. etc.
12:26.00bleeterit'd be endless pain and suffering on the forums. Blizz would prolly just be happier to lose them as customers... from a business point of view (ie, if people quit the game over an illogical universe, there's no bad publicity about it ;-)
12:26.22bleeterI might stop ranting now .. 'coz seriously.. couldn't care less :D
12:26.52bleeterit'd be nice to have consistent lore, but I can appreciate that it'd be a thankless task on the vendor's part... so.. meh
12:28.19bleeterKirkburn: sorry to flood you there mate, I just wanted to make sure you understood that my claim of 'they don't care about lore' was more from a business point of view, rather than some rabid book reader / rpg player ;)
12:28.30Kirkburn:)
12:29.32bleeterI can remember the games I was involved in writing.. 'no, those bits should be further to the left, the green's the wrong shade, can we change this layout, we need one more transaction per second'
12:29.45bleeternone of the devs really gave two shits about the 'plot' ;)
12:30.28bleeterwell, we did at the start. got too exhausted thinking about it tho
12:30.40bleeterand things always got delayed more
12:30.50bleeter<fin/>

15:09.05Adyshm
15:09.12Adyswas talking to kirkburn about it earlier on
15:09.23Adyshow possible would it be for kasobot to ignore stubs
15:09.38Kasoas i dont make the item stubs?
15:09.45Adysmeaning, to treat them as an "empty page" if there is only 1-2 lines
15:10.02AdysI meant, pages containing only {{Stub/Item}} or something, no tooltip at all
15:10.05KasoAah
15:10.15Kasoso to over-write anything that is currently a stub?
15:10.27Adysthat is currently lacking a tooltip i would say
15:10.44Kasodoable
15:11.04Kasoi'll look into different ways of implenting that

15:11.35Adyshttp://www.wowwiki.com/An_Undelivered_Letter
15:12.10AdysOh and btw
15:12.34Adysdo the "This Item Begins A Quest"-items are automatically categorized as Quest Starting Items?
15:12.39Adys(shit grammar)
15:12.54Kasono they arent i didnt think about that
15:12.59Kasobut its easily doable i think
15:13.05Adyskk :)
15:13.07Kasoactually it might already be doing that
15:13.21Kasoi forget the cat code i did, but i'll double check
15:13.35AdysIm gonna go over Category:Stubs/Item
15:13.40AdysDelete empty stubs a bit
15:13.52Adysand expand some here and there
15:14.41KasoThats a good idea

16:46.28Adysyea theres a pretty bunch of odd guys there
16:46.40Tekkubdo we REALLY need to put "or blah blah turnins for humens cause they get a shitty bonus to rep" every time a reputation number is given?
16:46.55Tekkubhow about a Zeal-style * with hover tip
16:47.21AdysNo
16:47.43Tekkubno we don't, or no hovernote?
16:48.49Tekkuban underline note mabe?  _240_ (hover: 220 for humans)
16:49.08Adysno to both tbh
16:49.18Adyspeople shouldnt be fucked enough to ask for someone else to calculate 10% of something
16:49.26Tekkubso just drop the human bonus numbers completely?
16:49.33Adysimo yes
16:49.49Tekkubyea that's kinda my opinion, human toons should know they get a bonus
16:50.15Tekkubwas just thinking a hover tip could keep people from constantly editing it back in
16:50.16Adyswhen you're alliance, and you start being worried about rep
16:50.23Adysif you still didnt find out you get 10% bonus rep you suck
16:50.42TekkubI'll toss up a vote somewhere I guess, give an example
16:50.42Adysand yeah tekk
16:51.03AdysWell i guess you can keep a star on stuff like
16:51.07Adysfull instance clears
16:51.08Adysetc
16:51.15Tekkubcause I have a feeling people will still keep adding them if we don't have something to point to and say "this is our policy on huumons"
16:51.17Adysbut not on mobs and quests rewards
16:51.59Tekkubno no, I'm talking about "It takes 240 marks (220 for huumons) to get from fuck you to OMGSEX rep"
16:52.11AdysAh
16:52.18Tekkubfuck mobs and pidly little shit
16:52.21Adyswell, yeah i guess
16:52.24Tekkubthat's deleteable
16:52.40Tekkubhower tip then with a dotted underline to draw attention slightly?
16:52.41Adysa star can do, that's stuff actually harder to calculate :P
16:52.47AdysYeah
16:52.51Adyssomething like that
16:53.05TekkubI personally hated the stars, they were hard to notice and people don't think to hover
16:53.10Tekkubthey look for a footnote
16:53.15ClydeJrIt would be a lot damn simpler if we could just kill them all off...
16:53.36Adysuh?
