00:11.40 | Kirkburn|afk | Hey clad |
00:11.47 | cladhaire | heyas |
00:11.49 | Kirkburn|afk | Don't think any of them are on atm |
00:11.52 | cladhaire | bah |
00:11.59 | cladhaire | i really want to get in touch with one of them |
00:12.03 | cladhaire | make sure i'm not causing any problems. |
00:12.13 | cladhaire | cause i've run into a few issues, and I'm trying to work them out. |
00:12.19 | Kirkburn|afk | Btw, see the end of http://www.wowwiki.com/WW:SIG ... Sheer awesomeness abounds! |
00:12.45 | Kirkburn|afk | Gimme a sec, I'll see what I can find |
00:13.16 | cladhaire | lol nice =) |
00:13.26 | Kirkburn|afk | Hmm, now seeing recognisable names on the Wowhead article's history |
00:13.28 | Kirkburn|afk | *not |
00:13.51 | Kirkburn|afk | I know they appear on here from time to time, but I can't recall who atm :( |
00:14.05 | cladhaire | its only 60 megs or so.. but I pull it in a matter of 15 minutes or so |
00:14.06 | Shirik | Kirkburn|afk do you have a moment? |
00:14.19 | Kirkburn|afk | Aye |
00:14.35 | Shirik | you know Lua right? |
00:14.37 | Kirkburn|afk | cladhaire, whatcha talking about? |
00:14.42 | Shirik | basics |
00:14.44 | Kirkburn|afk | Hah. No, not really. |
00:14.48 | Shirik | bleh |
00:14.55 | Kirkburn|afk | cladhaire does :) |
00:15.02 | Shirik | Yeah but cladhaire's busy |
00:15.10 | Kirkburn|afk | There's #wowi-lounge |
00:15.16 | Kirkburn|afk | And #wowace |
00:15.16 | Shirik | Yeah but it's really a wowwiki topic |
00:15.21 | *** join/#wowwiki cursenet (n=Netx@69.109.103.158) |
00:15.21 | Kirkburn|afk | Oh how so? |
00:15.23 | Shirik | it's regarding one of the pages |
00:15.30 | Shirik | http://www.wowwiki.com/Talk:API_and_scripting_quirks |
00:15.34 | Shirik | the portion I wrote about "Variables" |
00:15.41 | Shirik | or rather, my contention with that section being there |
00:16.10 | Shirik | I really just wanted to know if what I was saying was justified |
00:16.21 | Kirkburn|afk | Mention to the people on #wowi-lounge - they often use WoWWiki and should be able to give feedback |
00:16.53 | Kirkburn|afk | Unless you already did, in which case they're useless :P |
00:16.55 | cladhaire | That section is really poorly written |
00:17.05 | cladhaire | Shirik: Don't delete it, just rewrite it, and explain scope. |
00:17.25 | Shirik | But see it's in a section called "quirks" |
00:17.31 | Shirik | and I fail to see why scope would be considered a "quirk" |
00:17.36 | Shirik | really, it's a feature |
00:17.59 | cladhaire | so 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" |
00:18.07 | cladhaire | anything that's different from what people expect, is a quirk |
00:18.14 | Shirik | hm ok |
00:18.16 | cladhaire | but clarification is necessary |
00:18.24 | cladhaire | You can even make a new Lua_Scoping page,and link to it. |
00:18.31 | Shirik | well what he _had_ written was just completely wrong; I touched it up a little |
00:18.45 | Shirik | the code block a little further down is what he had |
00:18.51 | Shirik | which has comments on the code that just aren't true |
00:18.51 | cladhaire | get rid of everythign there |
00:18.57 | cladhaire | and re-write it from a new perspective. |
00:19.02 | cladhaire | whoever wrote that, was wrong, plain and simple =) |
00:19.24 | Shirik | I think I'll take your idea of making a scope page and link to it |
00:19.31 | Shirik | thanks |

05:46.44 | Hobinheim | oh |
05:46.50 | Kirkburn | And afaik there's absolutely no reason for it to happen |
05:47.06 | Kirkburn | The Sidebar has been changed many times before without trouble :/ |

08:48.23 | Shirik | owowow |
08:48.27 | Shirik | Kirkburn ftl |
08:48.55 | Kirkburn | For that shocking insult you must make a cool sig to make up for it |
08:49.08 | Shirik | ha! |
08:49.15 | Shirik | I'm not creative enough to do that |
08:49.28 | Shirik | I made you a nice article that you don't understand though :D |
08:51.12 | Kirkburn | uhh |
08:51.44 | Shirik | =P |
08:51.45 | Kirkburn | Lua Scope, aha |
08:51.58 | Shirik | the article we talked about earlier |
08:52.01 | Shirik | that clad|sleep recommended |
08:52.37 | Kirkburn | I saw |
08:52.48 | Shirik | My first real article :D I'm excited |
08:52.55 | Shirik | (new article) |
08:53.05 | Kirkburn | woot |
08:53.13 | Kirkburn | I wonder when I made my first /new/ article |
08:53.23 | Shirik | how far back does your contribs go? |
08:53.46 | Kirkburn | 29 May 2006 iirc |
08:53.55 | Kirkburn | 26th possibly |
08:55.20 | Shirik | I meant |
08:55.26 | Shirik | so like there's no limit on how far you can look back |
08:55.27 | Kirkburn | Banana! |
08:55.31 | Kirkburn | nope, no limit |
08:55.34 | Shirik | it's not like purged after 3 months or something |
08:55.43 | Kirkburn | Except possibly the sky |
08:58.07 | Kirkburn | I think my deletion/upload/etc logs are probably about as long as my list of edits. I'm over 10,000 edits. |
08:58.17 | Shirik | heh |
08:58.45 | Kirkburn | My last 500 logs entries only goes back to March 7th |
08:58.53 | Shirik | I have 43 edits |
08:59.01 | Shirik | and most are on talk pages >< |
08:59.05 | Kirkburn | Darn, my contribs go back to March 24th :P |
08:59.23 | Kirkburn | I must have been slacking with my deletions recently |
08:59.30 | Shirik | haha |
08:59.32 | Shirik | go! |

09:34.18 | Shirik | am I going crazy |
09:34.22 | Shirik | or can you not edit this page: http://www.wowwiki.com/Talk:Magnusguild |
09:34.43 | Shirik | I want to vote, but I hit edit and the edit box starts in the middle of the page :/ |
09:34.44 | Kirkburn | I can |
09:34.54 | Shirik | like in the middle of the vote |
09:35.03 | Kirkburn | What browser? |
09:35.07 | Shirik | firefox |
09:35.25 | Shirik | it starts with this: {{delete/talk|This page is empty, and not likely to be a source of redirects.}} |
09:35.28 | Kirkburn | Huh |

09:37.11 | Kirkburn | Silly wikipedia-type people |
09:37.18 | Kirkburn | Should have just been flagged speedydelete |

09:37.27 | Shirik | heh |
09:37.33 | Shirik | well there you go :P |
09:37.34 | Shirik | I helped |
09:37.52 | Shirik | Gogo deletion spree! |

09:54.32 | Shirik | out of curiosity |
09:54.35 | Shirik | if you have a list of them |
09:54.39 | Shirik | why don't you just write a bot to do it? |
09:54.58 | Kirkburn | To do what? |
09:55.04 | Shirik | delete them? |

10:08.58 | Adys | By the way |
10:09.18 | Adys | I think we should delete all item articles that only contain a stub and/or a category, without any info |
10:09.29 | Adys | since KasoBot would automatically take care of it |
10:13.04 | Kirkburn | yes |

11:15.34 | Shirik|zZz | It's somewhat the same stance I take on my forums - we get a lot of bots spamming our forums |
11:15.48 | Shirik|zZz | I 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. |

12:05.44 | bleeter | Kirkburn: I just finished reading that scrollsoflore thread you posted |
12:05.45 | bleeter | ayeeee |
12:05.54 | Adys | lol |
12:05.59 | Adys | its going on since ages |
12:06.40 | Kirkburn | bleeter, so who came out on top? |
12:06.54 | bleeter | sssh.. I enjoy seeing one bunch of arrogant asshats call another bunch of arrogant asshats... arrogant asshats ;) |
12:07.16 | bleeter | who's on top? i dunno, don't care fore lore |
12:07.21 | bleeter | I care for freenode.net :) |
12:07.31 | Kirkburn | Who won the argument then? :P |
12:07.32 | bleeter | you guys are here, so yer winners in my books :) |
12:07.48 | bleeter | oO there's was an argument in the drivel? |
12:07.54 | Kirkburn | heh |
12:07.58 | bleeter | you're just trying to make me read it again! aaargh! |
12:08.19 | Kirkburn | There was me continually telling them that we're neutral, and that they should use edit summaries |
12:08.39 | Kirkburn | Then there was them saying they're always right and ignoring everything else |
12:08.48 | bleeter | is there any way you can force the comment field to be filled in if, say, there's more than XX chars being deleted? |
12:08.54 | Kirkburn | Not afaik :( |
12:09.05 | bleeter | I mean, prolly is, would require client JS and foo tho |
12:10.18 | bleeter | '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 |
12:10.32 | bleeter | so it falls back o the poor bastards who've been sucked in to admin :P |
12:11.11 | bleeter | when it comes to lore, tho |
12:11.13 | bleeter | my take is |
12:11.35 | bleeter | metzen's prolly been tied up for past two years in sudden business reality of really popular game, etc., XPAC, etc. etc. |
12:11.58 | bleeter | and 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 |
12:12.04 | bleeter | and even HE don't know anymore ;) |
12:12.48 | bleeter | and, tbh, the lore fans would be such a tiny market to Blizz now, they prolly don't care |
12:13.09 | bleeter | my 3c (inflation, ya see) |
12:13.15 | Kirkburn | What is it with everyone saying Blizz doesn't care about the lore? |
12:14.06 | Kirkburn | Blizz didn't spend all their time on the WC3 patches expanding the lore of it, or creating new lore, they were patching a game. |
12:14.16 | Kirkburn | So why should they suddenly be different now? |
12:14.44 | Kirkburn | WC1 was a game, so was WC2, and so was WC3 surprisingly enough |
12:15.08 | Kirkburn | If you really think it's all a mess, that's just silly |
12:15.28 | Kirkburn | There are loose ends of course, and some contradictory stuff - just like the real world |
12:15.46 | Kirkburn | The sheer size of the Warcraft Universe makes it impossible to make it all neat and tidy |
12:16.26 | Kirkburn | Should Metzen know every single niggly bit of Warcraft? And Starcraft? And Diablo? No, because he's /human/. |
12:17.16 | bleeter | Oh, 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. |
12:17.24 | Kirkburn | This isn't getting only at you bleeter, I've seen others make sillier comments along the same lines |
12:18.30 | bleeter | Take 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. ... |
12:18.55 | Kirkburn | True |
12:19.00 | Kirkburn | It's a lot to take in at once |
12:19.09 | bleeter | It'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 |
12:19.45 | bleeter | Now, 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 |
12:19.51 | bleeter | s/law/lore/ |
12:20.14 | Kirkburn | Blizz are "laying down the lore" as you might say ;) |
12:20.19 | bleeter | however, a hundred or so of those original 2m lore fans running around making ambit claims one way or another.. |
12:20.28 | bleeter | .. yes, while Blizz try to lay down the lore |
12:20.59 | bleeter | whilst Blizz go over all their old stuff, plus what's on the wiki, at scrolls, etc., see what outsiders have picked up |
12:21.13 | bleeter | is just going to take them... a *bloody* long time. You're right, metzen is only human. |
12:21.43 | bleeter | it's such a huuuge job, that correcting *every* piece of lore would be a near pointless task |
12:22.03 | bleeter | *therefore* the only sane thing to do would be to only care about the lore that makes sense to those new 6 mill people |
12:22.19 | Kirkburn | aye |
12:22.27 | bleeter | and hopefully tie up a few loose ends for the other 2 mil |
12:22.53 | bleeter | and, 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 |
12:23.31 | bleeter | the other thing to consider, is the movie. |
12:24.01 | bleeter | whatever the plot is, it's going to have to be lore that most players, not a small fraction of lore fanaticals, will agree to |
12:24.48 | bleeter | not 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. |
12:26.00 | bleeter | it'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 ;-) |
12:26.22 | bleeter | I might stop ranting now .. 'coz seriously.. couldn't care less :D |
12:26.52 | bleeter | it'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 |
12:28.19 | bleeter | Kirkburn: 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 ;) |
12:28.30 | Kirkburn | :) |
12:29.32 | bleeter | I 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' |
12:29.45 | bleeter | none of the devs really gave two shits about the 'plot' ;) |
12:30.28 | bleeter | well, we did at the start. got too exhausted thinking about it tho |
12:30.40 | bleeter | and things always got delayed more |

15:06.43 | Kaso | sorta yes |
15:09.05 | Adys | hm |
15:09.12 | Adys | was talking to kirkburn about it earlier on |
15:09.23 | Adys | how possible would it be for kasobot to ignore stubs |
15:09.38 | Kaso | as i dont make the item stubs? |
15:09.45 | Adys | meaning, to treat them as an "empty page" if there is only 1-2 lines |
15:10.02 | Adys | I meant, pages containing only {{Stub/Item}} or something, no tooltip at all |
15:10.05 | Kaso | Aah |
15:10.15 | Kaso | so to over-write anything that is currently a stub? |
15:10.27 | Adys | that is currently lacking a tooltip i would say |
15:10.44 | Kaso | doable |
15:11.04 | Kaso | i'll look into different ways of implenting that |
15:11.07 | Adys | http://www.wowwiki.com/Arcanoweave_Bracers stuff like that.. |
15:11.16 | Kaso | Once i get my network card working >.< |
15:11.35 | Adys | http://www.wowwiki.com/An_Undelivered_Letter |
15:12.10 | Adys | Oh and btw |
15:12.34 | Adys | do the "This Item Begins A Quest"-items are automatically categorized as Quest Starting Items? |
15:12.39 | Adys | (shit grammar) |
15:12.54 | Kaso | no they arent i didnt think about that |
15:12.59 | Kaso | but its easily doable i think |
15:13.05 | Adys | kk :) |
15:13.07 | Kaso | actually it might already be doing that |
15:13.21 | Kaso | i forget the cat code i did, but i'll double check |
15:13.35 | Adys | Im gonna go over Category:Stubs/Item |
15:13.40 | Adys | Delete empty stubs a bit |
15:13.52 | Adys | and expand some here and there |
15:14.41 | Kaso | Thats a good idea |

16:46.28 | Adys | yea theres a pretty bunch of odd guys there |
16:46.40 | Tekkub | do 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? |
16:46.55 | Tekkub | how about a Zeal-style * with hover tip |
16:47.21 | Adys | No |
16:47.43 | Tekkub | no we don't, or no hovernote? |
16:48.49 | Tekkub | an underline note mabe? _240_ (hover: 220 for humans) |
16:49.08 | Adys | no to both tbh |
16:49.18 | Adys | people shouldnt be fucked enough to ask for someone else to calculate 10% of something |
16:49.26 | Tekkub | so just drop the human bonus numbers completely? |
16:49.33 | Adys | imo yes |
16:49.49 | Tekkub | yea that's kinda my opinion, human toons should know they get a bonus |
16:50.15 | Tekkub | was just thinking a hover tip could keep people from constantly editing it back in |
16:50.16 | Adys | when you're alliance, and you start being worried about rep |
16:50.23 | Adys | if you still didnt find out you get 10% bonus rep you suck |
16:50.42 | Tekkub | I'll toss up a vote somewhere I guess, give an example |
16:50.42 | Adys | and yeah tekk |
16:51.03 | Adys | Well i guess you can keep a star on stuff like |
16:51.07 | Adys | full instance clears |
16:51.08 | Adys | etc |
16:51.15 | Tekkub | cause 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" |
16:51.17 | Adys | but not on mobs and quests rewards |
16:51.59 | Tekkub | no no, I'm talking about "It takes 240 marks (220 for huumons) to get from fuck you to OMGSEX rep" |
16:52.11 | Adys | Ah |
16:52.18 | Tekkub | fuck mobs and pidly little shit |
16:52.21 | Adys | well, yeah i guess |
16:52.24 | Tekkub | that's deleteable |
16:52.40 | Tekkub | hower tip then with a dotted underline to draw attention slightly? |
16:52.41 | Adys | a star can do, that's stuff actually harder to calculate :P |
16:52.47 | Adys | Yeah |
16:52.51 | Adys | something like that |
16:53.05 | Tekkub | I personally hated the stars, they were hard to notice and people don't think to hover |
16:53.10 | Tekkub | they look for a footnote |
16:53.15 | ClydeJr | It would be a lot damn simpler if we could just kill them all off... |
16:53.36 | Adys | uh? |
