About IFWiki
(Note: The list of IF Community links formerly here has been merged into IF community.
This is an area for organising the development of the IF Wiki, in the spirit of the original Wikipedia Community Portal. (IFWiki runs MediaWiki, the Wikipedia software, but we are not otherwise affiliated).
To Do
Main article: IFWiki:To-do list
These are tasks that we're working on in the wiki.
Vandalism Alerts
- Someone named Vasa26 has been spamming the ifwiki. It's very annoying. This user has spammed us on Oct 3 and Oct 22, 2005 (so far). All pages linked from the Main Page are altered unless they are protected. This user is not benign; he or she deletes content.
- 2chemp has also spammed several pages (including this one), on Nov 14. This spammer does not appear to delete content.
- DedMoroz6 replaced the entire Talk:Main Page page with spam on Dec 8, 2005.
- Bounty, going by various addresses, spammed a bunch of previously-blank Talk: pages on 14 Dec 2005.
- Kynilyator, spammed a bunch of Talk: pages on 18 Dec 2005.
- Qolyan, spammed a bunch of Talk: pages on 18 Dec 2005.
Categories
IFWiki uses many categories to organize pages. The top-level category is Basics.
Some notable categories are:
- Games, Years, Authoring system, and Publishers.
- Glossary has pages imported from the IF Theory Book glossary.
- Past raif topics (and subcategories) for links to Google Groups rec.arts.int-fiction threads.
- Tropes (and subcategories) to identify recurring features in IF.
This is an automatically generated list of categories.
Users
This is an automatically generated list of IFWiki user accounts. Names in red have created user accounts but have not created their user page.
Wanted Pages
This is an automatically generated list of pages that have been named in links, but not yet created. Go have at them. Note, some of these may be misspellings, you may want to modify the link in that case, others may be correct alternative spellings/namings or concepts which could be merged, in which case creating a redirect is probably best. Please make sure a page does not exist before you create a new one.
Technical Problems
If you have a technical problem with IFWiki, please ask about it on the IFWiki talk:Community Portal page. It may take time for someone knowledgable with tech stuff to respond though, so please be patient.
