Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXIII: DeeganBallZ

[Glass Mouse]

I think I fixed that. Right now, it's open-season on joining; I'm assuming the default settings won't let anything too crazy happen if anybody trawls for open wikis, and if it does, then I suppose I'll have learned a valuable lesson.

Awesome. It's 4:30 a.m. over here, and my brain is fragmenting with tiredness, but I'll definitely go contribute tomorrow

Id still like to know why dom had himself be so tiny in comparison to the beast and the guardian when we have seen his ability to increase his size.

Maybe there's a difference between dreamscapes and other dimensions?

Would I be able to get admin privileges?

Out of curiosity, what for? Also, do you specifically want admin rights, or would mod rights be sufficient? (I'm just checking. So long as you have something particular in mind, or even just a general plan, I'd be happy to offload as many responsibilities as I can give you the power you need.)

For the record, what I hope to do, once the pages get more fleshed out, is to break them down into categories and mess around with forms. However, I feel like that should wait until things are a bit more fleshed out.

(By the way, just switched the theme to something that's a little easier on my eyes, at least.)

I don't know what powers each affords, but I'd like to help organize the wiki. What can mods do, and what can admins do that mods can't?

Edit: I'm adding in the old Encyclpedia Dominica entries from the OP. Semi-related, do you know how to make redirect pages?

[mwchase]

I noticed one of the redirects you needed (edit: got the other one!), and took care of it. Code is

[[module Redirect destination="putthedestinationhere"]]

So, for the one I did, that was

[[module Redirect destination="dominic-deegan"]]

The old page is still there, it just got 301'd, which seems like a little much, to me, I think, but whatever.

I'm looking at the documentation trying to figure out what admins can do that mods can't. I think the difference is in access to the site control panel. I'm guessing that mod rights would really be more significant in case we started using permissions in some categories (which we don't have many of yet).

Looks like the site control panel lets you do a variety of things. I think the most significant is tweaking the appearance. Other things are pay features, things nobody should touch, or just not relevant yet.

'nother edit: Just started up a new category. To make a page about yourself, just type "snarker:yourname" (substituting your name for "yourname", etc) after the slash in the address bar. Page creators have exclusive edit rights in the snarker: category. Don't know that I have the permissions right, so let me know if you have any issues.

[Fawkes]

Okay, don't worry about making me an admin. I would like to be a mod, though.

Thanks for the redirect tip!

[Turcano]

Now, now, there's always a chance the next project will be better.

The law of constant worsening is tied to Dominic Deegan, not to Mookie's career.

You don't know that.

But really, I meant that if his next project does show any deterioration, I'm dropping it like a brick. I did my time.

[Johnny Blade]

Due to important strip slaying business I need to attend to, I probably won't do anything wiki-related next week, but after that, I'll probably work on the stuff that right now makes up The Descent of Man (Into Madness And Mookie).


EDIT: I just joined the wiki (as Johnny Blade). The captcha I got when signing up was 'subtlety Inc'. It appears our wiki already identifies with the snark. I like it.

[Fawkes]

Hey MWChase, can you delete the page "Melna"? I made it a redirect, and I can't seem to access it to change it.

Wiki style questions addressed to the masses: Should Melna's page title be Melna Durnaks, Melna Durnaxe, Melsheena Durnaks, or Melsheena Durnaxe?

While I'm at it should Siggy's dad's page be called "Warlord Mustache" or "Sandor Damaske"? "Thuen Gor" or "Outrage Chief"?

[Johnny Blade]

I'm generally in favor of fan nicknames as actual page titles.

Also, Melna Durnaks gets my vote. My incontestable reasoning behind this is that Melsheena sounds kind of stupid and is almost never used, especially for an orc, and I think Durnaxe was only used once or so. I guess Melsheena Durnaks would be the actually correct one, but eh.

[Lillith]

I'd go with Melsheena Durnaks, which was her original name if I'm right? And then just mentioned the other names she has.

Same goes for Warlord Mustache, that's not his real name. Go by his real name (which is...?). Also same for Thuen Gor, his name is not canon Outrage Chief. You can mention they're called that by the community though.

[Kris Strife]

Put the fan name in between the first and last names: Sandor "Warlord Mustache" Damaske, Thuen "Outrage Chief" Gor.

[Fawkes]

Put the fan name in between the first and last names: Sandor "Warlord Mustache" Damaske, Thuen "Outrage Chief" Gor.

That gets kind of unwieldy for a page title.

[Lillith]

Indeed, just put in there original names and nicknames go in the story underneath it. Like

Thuen Gor

Also known as "Outrage Chief", is the leader of...

[Fawkes]

Chase, can you see if there's a way in the site manager to delete the pages "Melna" and "Warlord Sandor Damaske"? They're both bad redirects.

[Johnny Blade]

Same goes for Warlord Mustache, that's not his real name. Go by his real name (which is...?).

Exactly why I favor the fan nicknames.
At least for characters like that. I mean, nobody cares about his real name, because he simply is Warlord Mustache.

[Morph Bark]

Guess someone needs to figure out the art of auto-redirecting then so that fan nicknames make one end up on the right page with the right name.

[Zaq]

Yeah, I would have "Outrage Chief" be the page title, and have "Thuen Gor" redirect there.

This is a snarker wiki, no?

[Fawkes]

We can set up auto-redirects, I just don't know how to change them.

[mwchase]

To get to the page that was redirected from, put "/noredirect/true" after its URL. So, like, you have to type it in like that, because I'm pretty sure putting it after the redirected-to URL does nothing.

I feel like I should be helping more with this, but my schedule's got me doing important stuff in areas without good wifi.

[ThirdEmperor]

Seeing as it's a snarker wiki, we should use the fan nicknames.

Hey, as long as you're around to tell me how things work, we're good.

[Palmer]

I'm kinda wondering how we go about filling out these articles. I was thinking the plan was to summarize the character according to snarker fanon, but is there a canon fanon of anyone's entire history?

Also, Smug Greg, Humble Greg, Aardvark Greg and any Gregs that have slipped under my radar being treated as their own separate character would be pretty funny. To me, at least.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Seeing as it's a snarker wiki, we should use the fan nicknames.

I personally am more likely to search for "Outrage Chief" then "Thuen Gor", and NOBODY will search for anything other than "Warlord Mustache".

Edit:
@ ^
To the Greg comment, YES. YES PLEASE. That, or have the page title be Greg(s) Deegan, and have a seperate sub-heading for each Greg.

[Fawkes]

Okay, Siggy's dad's page is now "Warlord Mustache". His real name, Sandor Damaske, redirects.

Will do the same for Outrage Chief.

So far, there is a separate page for Gregory Deegan and for Aardvark. Neither has much content yet.

Edit: Since "Collateral Damage Man" was a nickname Celesto earned well after his introduction, I'm leaving "Celesto Morgan" as his page title.

Is "Sandor" given as his name somewhere?

AFAIK Warlord Mustache has no first name in canon.

That's what I found... somewhere... hang on.

Edit: Ah. In the original Encyclopedia Dominica, under "mustache", it lists his name as Sandor. I took that at its word. Is that not in the comic?

Edit2: Okay, I can't find any other evidence of that ever being mentioned as his name, so I'm removing it from the wiki.

[colonelslime]

No need for Sneaky Gate today

Who here was hoping for meaningless drama between Greg's forgetable second banana bandmates? I know I was

No wait, I was hoping they all died off-panel and would never be seen again.


I hope one-tusk tries to seduce Luna. At least something would actually be happening then.

Edit: Also, Greg displays his amazing lyricist's mind once again, and Randy apparently waits several months to confront Greg about his nonsense regarding a horrible disfigurement

[Johnny Blade]

I want to see that verse. It's probably just 'Annihilator' over and over again because Gregory couldn't think of any words that rhyme with it and also fulfill the secondary requirement of being metal.
And then it ends with 'Lobster of Annihilation! Guardian Destroyyaah!'.

[Palmer]

So, what, that's four guys who can't help but want in Luna's pants? I'm surprised the Dominion has gotten this far without the entire civilization destroying itself due to her radiant beauty.
