When two sites offer identical content, one of them is downranked as copycat. Google was by far the largest source of traffic to the old site, so our Google ranking is very important. Still, looking at how CentralAuth handles username conflicts might be useful. Ilmari Karonen 21:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)Īh, scratch that, I misread what the issue was.
I haven't really looked at the code to see if there might be any way to relax that assumption. (That's why it's so complicated if starting from scratch, it would be much easier to just share the user table between wikis.) However, it's been designed with the assumption that all the wikis are running on the same server(s). See also: The CentralAuth extension, which Wikimedia uses, has been designed to address just those username collision issues. Please consider choosing a different name unless you are the same person." As a first step, I propose adding a warning "You are about to create a username that already exists on NAO/the wiki/freenode/. We could let Wikiuser play as w:Wikiuser, and Naoplayer edit as n:Naoplayer until people can merge their accounts themselves. I realize this is pie-in-the-sky right now, and we have more pressing chores due to The Move.Ĭolliding usernames will make unified login difficult. Silly as it seems, each signup act drives away visitors. Especially as we're competing against ourselves at Wikia. For the wiki, it's a great marketing ploy. Users would benefit from less signup hassle (and less chance of impersonation). In a long term perspective, some form of unified login would be great.

Most places in still need announcement postings:ĭone: FaceBook: (The NetHack Rules! -group with 860+ members) Ilmari Karonen 16:57, 1 December 2010 (UTC) Move announcements at various placesĭone: LiveJournal NetHack community. Problems on this Wiki Section moved to NetHackWiki:Technical issues. Alas, I know of no such easy shortcut to fixing that. It looks like user preferences don't get imported either, even though the documentation says they should be. Happy hacking! - Ilmari Karonen 01:08, 10 November 2010 (UTC) Go to the corresponding page on the new wiki and paste in what you just copied.Select it all and copy it to your clipboard. If you're logged in, you should see a textbox listing the contents of your watchlist on the old wiki. Apparently, the MediaWikiAuth extension doesn't import it automatically. If you just came here from Wikia, you may have noticed that your watchlist is empty. 47 New NetHack tiles, can someone help with screenshots?.46 "What links here" link availability?.43 Link to GitHub with Template:Refsrc?.
