n1 foo. let me know if you need mods.

Post by **Foo** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 6:11 am

Wiki should be fixed now, thanks ax... in my messing with a new theme I tore out some old important stuff as well.

And TNF, the forum points right back at Q3W, so you're already a mod on Q4W

The site could definitely use enthusiastic individuals to take the plunge, learn how to operate wikis effectively, then start churning in content

It's "churning out," not "churning in." Now I'm your new editor.

Churning is a word in its own right (A churn was a kind of round vessel used for processing dairy). Churning out refers to cranking out finished product (originally milk and cheese) I should have said 'Churning content in' rather than 'Churning in content' to be clearer.

Don't get me wrong, I use malapropisms all the time, just luckily for me not today

Post by **Foo** » Wed Oct 12, 2005 3:55 pm

Hah. Finally got Q4W.com mapped to my hosting properly.

Post by **D'Artagnan** » Wed Oct 12, 2005 8:30 pm

This one looks very good...

Post by **Foo** » Wed Oct 12, 2005 9:17 pm

10Gb hosting 100Gb transfer, unlimited FTP accounts, MySQL databases and comprehensive PHP support. Colo.

For 20 quid.

If anything comes of the site I'll move hosting or upgrade.

Yes, for this type of situation, it is like a UberMegaFAQ.

Regular FAQs are old and busted. Most are so huge these days that they end up being spread over a bunch of pages and searching for something can be a pain in the ass. Or, even worse, search may not be supported. Plus, copies of FAQs go out of date quickly if a web site administrator is too busy to get an updated FAQ.

And, contribution to the FAQ is much easier than trying to email a FAQ author, hoping his spam filter doesn't filter the email, hoping the author understands what you're saying (ie: mapmaking stuff, he might not be a mapmaker) and, last but not least, hoping the author cares about it anymore.

Yes, wiki can be slow. OTOH, when there are 700,000+ articles, it's to be expected. This wiki won't get that huge.

I'm off to edit some grammar even though mine isn't the best

WTF

I thought Quake4world.com was going to be the official site. At least that's what that website claimed for the last year.

Gay.

You believed a site that said "Quake 4 World will be released soon and yes this will be the official site.
site is being built as you are reading this."

You don't see a problem with that exact statement?

Post by **[TJD]Rico** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 10:07 pm

There are some borken links.

From http://www.quake4world.com/index.php?title=Main_Page I can't follow "General Information" or "F.A.Q." below the title banner. They both point to fps-media.com/q4wiki/index.php instead of http://www.quake4world.com/index.php and Apache says /q4wiki/index.php not found.

Thanks. Throwbacks to having the domain moved over.

Probably a part of the Wiki system. I've not added anything else cookie-wise.

Check out wikipedia.org and if it does it there too, then it's the Wiki software that's doing it
