One Piece Wiki talk:Community Portal

More editors needed
Well, we can't continue like this forever. Anyone any ideas on how to get more peeps here? Its too much to ask for the whole site to be built souly around the work of half a dozen people. :O


 * One idea could be to put up more links in certain one piece wikipedia pages to this wikia. For instance, when the Going Merry page here gets to be at least presentable, you can put up a link in its wikipedia counterpart to here.
 * Another would be to make this site more presentable to a One Piece fan using mods explained in this guide to help so that it can look like the sites presented in here.
 * One last advice but not necessarily the best, would be advertise this wikia on our blogs and fansites that some of use have.
 * These are the only things that I can think up now in order to better this site.Mugiwara Franky 04:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * THe idea about a link on Wikipedia worries me. Too many people will come over, figure out what the heck One Piece is, gather info, and try to turn us into Wikipedia about just One Piece. I will gladly start a REAL thread on Arlong Park about it, and maybe we can get a few people in from there. I do admit though, I am rather happy at what we have already, and we CAN do this with a little more effort. Maybe if we worked more on articles that don't need updating for awhile, like the Going Merry, which probably won't play any more important roles for a LOOONG time if ever again, that means less trying to keep up, and then we can update the other pages too.

 * Not just Arlong Park. AP may be the main place for fan, but there are other sites too.  We have 7 main editors who, so to speak, have between us already set up the rules, making pro hard core wikipedians difficult to presued things their way + by now have good solid skills as editors.  The rules are strong enough here now to stop them turning us into another wikiedpia clone.  And so long as we work it, we can prevent them taking us over.  I'm too anti-wikipedia take over, but we can't full behind our efforts behind wikipedia and we need more eidtors. One-Winged Hawk 11:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Viewing Special Pages
Firstly I'd link to say we need to check them over occusionally as they tell us inportant information on the site. The link for it is under our search button on the lefhand site template. Its under 'upload' on my computer. Basically, we have several orphaned pages now, meaning they have no links to and fro them.

Several unused categories:

Uncategorized pages

http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Uncategorizedpages

While Project Wikipedia Rescue is under way this week its not too important for pay attention to these pages. However its a useful thing to consider for the future. ;) One-Winged Hawk 07:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Templates
We need some general Templates, how about:


 * Out of Date article
 * Uneeded article
 * Delete request
 * Move Request
 * Understandard

Thats all I can think of for now. The out of date article, I'm considering making that one anyway since a dozen articles are out of date now. I want opinions first before I create it though. One-Winged Hawk 13:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * In my opinion they shouldn't be too big. One-Winged Hawk 13:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Important: Wikipedia Rescue Project
Okay I'm fed up with wikipedia. Recently they removed all the pictures from the Devil Fruit page there. So I'm begging for everyone to help me with this: The Wikipedia Rescue Project.

Basically everything on Wikipedia over the course of this weekend I want moved here. We can't do a thing there and that for me was the final straw. I'm transferring everything (and I mean everything) over here on Sunday. By Monday morning, I don't want a thing left on wikipedia that we don't have safe and tucked away here.

Any helpers? One-Winged Hawk 08:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm trying to contact the guy who removed them... But he isn't a One Piece wikipedia editor, just a general editor. This looks like we may loose ALL images on that page.  Thats about 30+ images.  If I manage to get an answer I will plead they stay and try to defend their presence there.  But I'm just one person trying to understand what this guy is going on about.  It isn't going to be easy considering he left no helpful words outside the edit summery.


 * We have until the 15th to save those images from wikpedia if we want to keep them. This is what I hate about wikpedia... People barge in and remove/change stuff without discussion or telling us they got to go.  I'd like time to react first instead of seeing things horribly dismantled this way.  One-Winged Hawk 08:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The Devil Fruit images and one I added are now here. What else needs to move here? Most of the One Piece pages and content in wikipedia seems to be found here already in one form or another I believe. With the exception of the game material and episode pages that are currently being made, thats all I can think of.Mugiwara Franky 14:30, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * You've done it already? Wow your amazing!!!


 * Tell you what, leave the rest to me and I'll locate every picture on Wikipedia and transfer them here on Sunday. You've done enough already, I was wasn't expecting that to happen at all.  ;) One-Winged Hawk 18:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Phew. The main crisis on Wikipedia is over. A couple of the guys there saved them. But seriously. I'm stull going ahead with the move despite this everyone. Basically, this is one too many times on wikipedia for me. The guy who removed them claimed they were being used for decoration when, if he had READ the discussion page, they were not. As I said the guys have found a way around it! :D

This is why I don't like how some wikipedians on wikipedia just like to step in and itnerfer without discussing things. One-Winged Hawk 19:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you. And a lot of them forget one of Wikipedia's most important policies: DON'T BE A DICK! (Justyn 07:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC))

Are we overreacting about Wikipedia?
If you read here http://apforums.net/showthread.php?p=410677#post410677 you'll find Sayianjedi having a good points. I find it irony most people here complain about Wikipedia changing things without discussion but when I frist came here everyone jumps on me and bites my head off despited I had a bad time in Oct. Yet have any of you guys ever discuss with the editors in Wikipedia about things or you just don't hear their reason?

We want people to listen to us but we listen to them because were full of ourselves and I can't let OP Wikia be full of themselves and we are just acting like Wikipedia; Changing things without discussing, when I frist got here I just done some editing until someone comes and reverts my work and yells at me for not discussing but why did they not discuss? OP Wikipedia people yells at each other and has an lovely flame war and edit war so someone wants to come here and be free of it and had the same problems?

I think were being close-minded here guys, we need to welcome Wikipedians and other editors alike, we need to set a fair rules. If we close the door at Wikipedians then were no better then Wikipedians, were just Wikipedians turning our backs for a selfish reason.

Cody: Please don't personalize this site, let the Wikipedians come in, do not attack Wikipedia; we don't need to go to war with them to become better, everyone has mistakes and no this is not "YOU LISTEN TO ME OR I'm GONNA POUND YA!!" this is just a advice to keep this site open for people to edit, we'll just be like Wikipedia if we close this site to everyone. :)

Angel: Sayinjedi is right, were making wrong judgment towards Wikipedia, we call them snobs but when I frist arrive here eveyone snubs me around, were snobs also

Everyone in general, how can we complain about grammical errors in Wikipedia but I found many errors in many articles, how can we say "were'er far better then Wikipedia!" But many articles are ripped from Wikipedia and none of them are written from a strech, many of them are in poor quility. We are olny fooling ourselves guys.


 * Jedi-san has good point because he know how to present his facts. My argum,ent would be jsut as good if presented properly. We arn't trying to be snobs, noone here ever came across the same way as a wikipedian does. Sometimes people don't undertsna dmy attitude, I never have said anything to give the feeling of the "I'm going to pound you then" attitude, so I don't know where it came from. Also, if you want people to really listen to you, I recommend you register. I speak for myself alone saying this, so thios is my opinion but I like to have a name to go by, not a long string of numbers. As for the articles, wikipedia is years older than us, they have a ton of people that scan pages for spelling errors. There are few errors about the storyline, any mistakes are probably spelling and grammar, which looking at your post and mine from forums, you can see everyone can make mistakes. Not everyone hates wikipedians but I certainly dislike them, no matter what happens it never works out with them and they do the one thing everyone I know does to me. They go crying to someone else and build up people on their side, and basically just present an argument and have everyone say they agree, and they win. Wikipedia is a popularity contest where you vote for people's ideas, and people sue rules to their advntage to prov ethier points, no to keep everything in order. We agreed a few months ago, early on, we won't be following the same rules as WIkipedia, instead we'll be making our own rules as we need them, and we have everytihng set up. Stop putting us under fire, help use with our wiki by signing up and fixing errors you find, instead of saying "oh blah blah not better than blah blah blah wikipedians blah!!! So many errors blah blah blah!" because all it does is stop us from building up. If you want to complain go find another wiki because we don't have time to listen to trolls.
