Front Page Article, Updates, and Questions

I noticed that there does not seem to be an complete guide on datatypes, maps, records, or anything else of the like. Would creating an article on datatypes, constraints, and setups be good? Or should info like that be put into their respective (separate) pages? Another thought also pops to mind; if the wiki were to have a "Beginner's Guide to ASH Scripting" tutorial (similar to the one on KoLMafia's sourceforge, but updated) things like this would fit in it well. Just a thought. Out of practice 04:08, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

EDIT: Also, what should be the procedure for us to follow for linking a function's short description (in one of the front-page articles) with its own (completed) page? I just finished an extensive map_to_file() page (in more detail than you'd expect), and a slightly-less-awesome (but still working) floor() and file_to_map() page, and was wondering how I should link them for the benefit of others (who wouldn't naturally search for its own page). Help:Contents needs an update with the wiki posting standards as well. Are the admins still around regularly?--Out of practice 07:26, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Updating?

Let's get started, guys. Soon enough, I'll have a list of all the functions, which I think should go in a wiki page to (as someone above said) search and link. Also, is there a way to do monospacing with code? --MagiNinjA 00:35, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

You can get mono-spaced text by using <code> tags. For example, using

<code>EXAMPLE TEXT</code>

produces this as a result. EXAMPLE TEXT

Ideas...

These are my ideas that I have floating around in my head:

A template to put all the relevant information about a function into a table (with proper colored backgrounds and such)
1. I can do this; I just need to know what information is 'relevant'.
Move this type of discussion to the Community Portal. Right now the CP is just a bunch of links (we can make a 'links' page and add it to the sidebar if needed).
An overhaul of the main page. Someone said that they don't like the 'portal' type of look, but that kind of look has become the de facto standard for wikis, as it is the most popular. I'll pound out a rough draft on a subpage of my user space.
Creation of a template structure. Templates for requesting deletion, protection, etc. That way non-sysop flagged users can 'tag' pages such as this for deletion.
Logo! 'Cause we need to be cool like that.
Define a category structure. Do it now before too many pages get created.

Like I said... I'm here to help. Comments plox. ksumoe ^{(talk  contrib)} 21:17, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

I added some links on the home page -- hope that helps users find more documentation... :) -Daychilde

I corrected the Script Repository link to http://www.kolmafia.us from http://www.kolmafia.ua. ;) -Regnar

Links to Redirects?

While I understand the need for redirect, why are we linking to redirect pages? Why not use [[Page Title|Displayed Text]] links instead?

Protection

Seriously, protect the front page. This is getting completely destroyed by spam 80.189.248.109 12:05, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Is $wgSpamRegex set? If not it should be. If it is, it needs updating. Spam storming in like the flood! -divinewind420

Current wiki layout

I was just curious if we could get the current wiki main page layout centered? As in simply putting

 <center> </center>

around the main text.

Building up

As a person that is just starting in this(with no experience at ALL), I was sent to this site and as just a little helping tip, this list lots of functions which should stay that way but it never tells you how to put it all together(or atleast i haven't found the page that does). --Tipmon1995

-== WJOL Radio's Scott Slocum Interviews Will County Boxing Team ==
-The following is a transcript of WJOL Radio's interview with some of Will County Boxing Gym team members- Billy Boy Thompson, Owner/ Pro Boxer/ Trainer Joseph Awinongya, Donald Myart, and Derek Drey a rising boxing star conducted by Scott Slocum 9AM Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2010. To listen to full interview visit <a href=>www.willcountyboxing.com</a>
-Scott: That will warm you up on this cold morning. Imagine yourself in a hot gym working up a sweat. That is what we all need as the temperature is going to fall to zero before that snow hits about 9PM tonight. Billy 'Boy' Thompson is in the studio with us and he's brought some guests. The 1964 graduate of the Joliet Township high school with an all time record of 110 and 15 with the 95 knockouts. How are you doing sir? Lets make sure the mics are on. Alright, who do you have with us this morning?
-Billy: I have Joseph Awinongya from Ghana, Africa. He's president of our Will County Boxing Gym and Derek Drey. Derek Drey from Joliet, our boxing team and Donald Myart, he's a professional boxer, ex professional boxer-an amateur- boxer and also a broadcaster. We all are on the same page this morning.
-Scott: So, ah you know, as long as it has been since you have been active in the ring, you are still so involved in the sport, and it shows by the people you brought in here today.
-Billy: Well this guy, Joseph, got me involved. I was sitting back in my garage. I retired from the railroad for three years, worked for 31 years, but Joseph got me, got me to come by and and let's get together. So, I went to help him.
-Scott: Well -That Joseph, is that the gentleman here?
-Billy: That's correct he's from Ghana, Africa.
-Joseph: I am from Ghana, I am from Ghana,- but I grew up in Italy. I am (Clears throat) an ex professional boxer. Don King brought me into this country. I came to Joliet, I was in Chicago, I was going to fight a guy in New York. So, I came to Chicago to train with the Polish fighter, because I was fighting the same guy from Poland. So, I came to Chicago and started training in the Windy City Gym and then the fight just turned off..They told me they did not want me any more. I came to Bolingbrook. I see some of the African stores over there, so I said I will stay right here.
-Scott: So you got the youngsters going on now, and you are showing them what you know, huh.
-Joseph: (Smiling) Yeah, I am showing them something. I came to Joliet. I found out that Joliet used to be a boxing town. I was in boxing for a long time and I said what am I going to do to bring some people together to see if we can open a boxing gym. It took me 5 years to start, you know, getting every body together, to see exactly what we want to do, and how to bring this about. Exactly, like Derek Drey, kids who have energy and want to burn it somewhere. So, we opened the boxing gym and so far the boxing gym is doing real good. We have some professionals, three professionals, we signed up a lot of kids. The boxing gym is going wonderful and I was very, very surprised.
-Scott: Now let's back up a moment, you told me Don King brought you to this country?
-Joseph: Yeah, Don King brought me to this country.
-Scott: How many people want to be discovered by Don King!
-Joseph: Yeah.
-Scott: How did you do that?
-Joseph: ...I went back home to Africa ...I was going back to Germany. I was sparring with one ex heavy weight champion and he had his people over there. They saw me, and they said they would like to sign me up, and that was my dream, since I was fighting. That was my dream to come to Don King. So, they saw me and then they brought me, I signed with them. I did really good with them. I don't take nothing away from Don King. He put me in a place that I know that I can do more things than I can do. What ever I want to do.

-== спасибо за сайт ==
-Всем привет!! Хотелось бы отметить примечательно данного сайт. Уже не однократно тут бывал и не перестаю удивлятся. Прям всё так прилично и здоров, что уходить не хочется. Но всё же пора :) Бай. Ещё заскочу.
-== Why not upload images ? ==
-Hi.
-.I am a beginner.
-Why not upload photos ?
-== Very interesting fact ==
-While the life-expectancy gap between men and women has decreased, it's no secret that men still need to pay more attention to their bodies. Several things work against men. They tend to smoke and drink more than women. They don't seek medical help as often as women. Some men define themselves by their work, which can add to stress.
-There are also health conditions that only affect men, such as prostate cancer and low testosterone. Many of the major health risks that men face – like colon cancer or heart disease - can be prevented and treated with early diagnosis. Screening tests can find diseases early, when they are easier to treat. It's important to have regular checkups and screenings.
