| Either I'm doing something wrong or the IFWiki doesn't handle Telnet URLs correctly. The problem appears in the URL for the ifMUD. I'll leave it as is for now and hopefully someone will be able to spot the problem and fix it at some point. -- Sand
| | These days the most active place to discuss the wiki is on the [[Intfiction]] forum. The following two links should be helpful: |

| I think the MediaWiki software will only accept particular protocols. It wouldn't take the aim link I tried to put on my user page either. The editor help at Meta suggests that only http and ftp are allowed, but obviously news and mailto work also, at least on ifwiki. Anyway, linking to the homepage for ifMUD is probably more useful than directly to the MUD itself, since you need the information there to get set up and logged in the first time. --[[User:Ryukage|Ryukage]] 06:36, 9 Jun 2005 (Central Daylight Time)
| | * There is a category for [https://intfiction.org/c/general/if-community-resources/70 IF Community Resources]: this includes IFWiki, and you could add the "ifwiki" tag to your topic there. |
| | * There are posts with the [https://intfiction.org/tag/ifwiki ifwiki tag] across the forum in various categories. |

| Hi, could anyone tell me where one goes to ask for tech help regarding the www.ifwiki.org accounts? I ran into a problem after opening an account. I was setting up the preferences for the skins and ended up with a fatal error that won't let me view my account. So I made a new account just to post.
| | == Podcast page? == |
|
| |
|
| I tried deleting all cookies and old files from my browser just in case but I still get this message when I log in: | | Someone bumped [https://intfiction.org/t/if-relevant-podcasts/44109 one of the threads about IF-related podcasts/episodes] on intfiction and I was wondering, since there are at least three or four of these (mostly overlapping but each with at least some individual relevant episodes of non-IF podcasts), if it would make sense to have a page here collecting podcasts and podcast episodes that talk about IF? But I see that [[:Category:Publications]] says "sites that are primarily review sites don't belong here" so... should IFWiki have a podcasts page, and if so, where? If not, no big deal. Maybe I'll collect all the links into a single one of the forum threads or something... |

| Thanks.
| | : A podcasts page sounds good to me! Maybe you could put it in the Websites category. It can always be moved later if someone comes up with a better place for it. [[User:Bg|bg]] ([[User talk:Bg|talk]]) 12:51, 8 May 2023 (UTC) |

| * I'll update the [[IFWiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]] page to suggest that tech questions should be asked here; we haven't had any policy for them until now. Unfortunately, I can't help with your actual problem, but I have mudmailed [[User:David Cornelson|David Cornelson]], the guy who originally put this wiki together, and hopefully he can help you. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 12:19, 10 Dec 2005 (Central Standard Time)

| My account's working again. Thank you! Now hopefully I don't stumble and lock myself out again.

| == Broken links, extra /ifwiki ==
| |
| From [[Talk:11th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition]]: [[User:Merk]] noticed that links sometimes aren't working. For instance, http://www.ifwiki.org/ifwiki/index.php/Rob_Menke works if you take out the middle /ifwiki/ tag. [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] has also seen this happening on the main page when he wasn't signed on. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 12:02, 20 December 2005 (EST)

| ==Is the IFWiki safe?==
| |
| I'd like to know if the content of the IFWiki is safe, i.e. if there are sufficient backups? I suppose it is, but I ask this because I wouldn't like it at all if all my contributions (and the contributions of others, of course) were definitely lost someday! (Maybe there could be mirror sites, like the IF Archive has?? Or is it unnecessary?)

| * This is something I'll have to ask baf about. As far as I know, IFWiki is currently hosted on the very same physical machine that [[Baf's Guide]] is on. I assume and hope he makes backups, but I haven't actually asked him about that. There are currently no mirror sites that I know of, and yes, there probably should be. I myself can't do any of this; I simply don't have the resources. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 11:45, 6 September 2006 (EST)
| |
| | |
| Well, did you ask him? --[[User:Eriorg|Eriorg]] 18:53, 10 November 2006 (EST)

| | |
| * Checking back on my e-mails, it looks like I forgot. There was a database error on IFWiki that I'd asked him to fix the day before, and I guess I didn't want to bug him two days in a row. Sorry. Perhaps you should email him directly. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 22:12, 10 November 2006 (EST)

| ==ifwiki policies==
| |
| I would like to know if there is an IFwiki list of policies. For example: what is your opinion about including in IFwiki articles information coming from Wikipedia? (I am not suggesting turning this wiki into a wikipedia mirror, only using their corresponding articles at least as a convenient starting point). Well, thanks in advance! -- [[User:Cassandra Palop|Cassandra Palop]] 12:22, 29 November 2006 (EST)
| |
| : The policies of IFWiki, such as they are, are most of the pages in the [[:Category:IFWiki|IFWiki]] category, particularly the style guides subcategory. And most of that is from me just making it up and hoping it's good enough for everyone else to go along with. At least one page here, [[Spells]], was cribbed rather directly from Wikipedia. My reaction was to grimace quietly, grit my teeth, and let the page stand (at least for now). It's not that I'm opposed to borrowing any of the ''information'' from Wikipedia (assuming it's information about IF), but I would rather that it wasn't cut 'n' pasted word for word. Pages on IFWiki, for the most part, are in the public domain. Pages on Wikipedia, for the most part, are very much not in the public domain. And well, I really don't want to discuss copyright issues if I don't have to. So, um. I guess I'm giving you the O.K., but um, I'm a bit queasy about it. And I'm also kinda curious which pages on Wikipedia you wanted to, er, not-quite-mirror here? -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 23:29, 29 November 2006 (EST)
| |
| :: First of all, thanks a lot for your fast reply, David. I usually edit Wikipedia (few of my contributions have to do with IF) and my main concern is if I should adapt such edits as for conform to IFWiki standards. Well, I have other questions... but I do not want to take advantage of your kindness :) Thanks, again. -- [[User:Cassandra Palop|Cassandra Palop]] 04:22, 30 November 2006 (EST) P.S.: Yeah, I agree: the article dealing with [[Spells]] needs clean up. -- [[User:Cassandra Palop|Cassandra Palop]] 07:21, 30 November 2006 (EST)
| |
| :: Just for the record, David, the [[Spells]] page was created by directly examining the games concerned. It's maybe not surprising that the result resembles the Wikipedia article (which I found only afterwards), since both list the spells in alphabetical order and provide the games' own explanations of their effects, but that doesn't mean that I copied anything from Wikipedia. Indeed, I'm a little disappointed that you should jump so readily to that conclusion, and would ask that you withdraw the phrase "was cribbed rather directly". Thanks -- [[User:Roger|Roger]] 01:46, 1 December 2006 (EST)
| |
| :::I call for calm and reason in the face of the worrisome tone that the controversy is taking on. I admit that it is risky to make remarks of the kind David made because it is always difficult to trace the sources of a specific article with accuracy, also I think that in wikis (by its very nature) there is always room for the development, cleaning up and improvement of articles (even more). Roger, I personally favor content over appearance (but the aesthetics is not a minor issue for me). Well, I hope this settles the argument. With that said, I hope to do my best with my contributions. A huge thank you to both David and Roger. -- [[User:Cassandra Palop|Cassandra Palop]] 05:54, 1 December 2006 (EST)
| |
| :::Roger, I apologize. I mispoke and misremembered. Comparing the pages makes it obvious that your contribution was independent of Wikipedia. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 11:02, 1 December 2006 (EST) | |
