... Yes. Supergroup pages -were- and are category pages, so they list as subcategories in the [Category:Supergroup] page.

Locations however, do not need to be this, because they do not need to contain as much linked in data from different users, IE, who is part of the Supergroup. This is achived by making invidiual supergroups a category (Which is a subcategory of the main Supergroup page as a whole) so that people's characters get linked in.

Uh, not until this post it sn't, if fact there is just a lot of "this is why i did it and that's why it's not really wrong at all and you should all be actually great full"

you needed one post "sorry, i thought i was helping, my mistake" not any of this justification manure.

Ok... before you bite my head off... This is what I thought I was doing...

I noticed all categories and sub-categories looked to me like a total mess. Its either a category or a sub-category. You shouldn't have both. There where remarks from me and Ammon stating so. And they where already old.

I chatted to Pious and asked him what it should be. As he thought it had to be sub-categories. So that pages linked went automatically under it. I just went ahead and changed that. First for my pages... then as I had some spare time to more. It gave a structured look and feel. And NO DATA was changed at ALL! As this is a wiki changes are stated and can be rolled back. It rather impossible to call or mail every owner you know. Or I would have done so.

I found some obvious locations that where also businesses as they made money. That is the only thing I added in categorie. That I didn't place a discussion remark for.

Now I know I made some logo's. I gave a remark that it was just something I made up. If the owner wouldn't like... It's one click to removing it. This is a wiki after all. If good intended additions aren't welcome... then it will not happen again. I spend a lot of time in doing what I thought best.

I havent touched this category at all. And haven't added any to this category either. The truth. Have you been looking at very old changes too?

This is a wiki. And I did some without serious data change. Sure there are pages linking to themselves. As all got the same treat ment.. but almost all pages where st up different. And I haven't touch data of the page.

Anyway... no harm or anything was intended. I don't spend a lot of time on something to annoy people. It will NOT happen again. Ever!!!

I am a bit of a data freak... have build many data bases and websites. It is just the way I think.

You all have seen my pages I guess. They are build the same way... with the same layout. It was not meant as malevolent... and the remark earlier about expecting that from me was totally uncalled for.

I did what I thought was right. And I haven't changed anything that was completly wrong. For instance... I gave Pocket D the Category:Business. Is that wrong? A nightclub/Disco is a business. it makes money. Not only a location.

Anyway. This is the second time I placed a lot of time and efford in it. From the first time a lot of good changes stayed. I don't mean to do any harm. take it from me (also seeying how much time went into it) there will NOT be a third time.

Yes... I did so unintentionally. But would it be a total disaster if all pages where setup the same way. There where never rules applied... only templates. But I guess you're right. flexibility can't hurt either. I was never flexible enough then.

And it was both after my change.. I added business...

And what about the ones that where sub-categories? Are they in truth any different as supergroup the the Unity Vigil.

You state youreself it will be 99%. It was devided 50% 50%.

But you state here youreself they where meant to be sub-categories.

Oh, look. The first instance of the word "apologise" is where you tell people to search for it. And the word "sorry" doesn't appear until the LAST one.

It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

The damage is done. It was a silly mistake. Nothing, as far as I know, is lost. Yes it's annoying. Yes ppl are upset. But it's done. It's being sorted and a ban is in effect. I don't think a witchhunt is helping.

a witch hunt would imply that some one was being blamed despite it being many peoples error.

not the case, try reading some of the posts before this page.

Depends on how you read witchhunt. What I mean is turning it into a personal attack doesn't help. I'm not defending anyone, just trying to get people to calm down :/


 

Posted

would like to point out that I checked most my pages, and nothing appears to be amiss. However, im not impressed with the fact that they were touched in the first place.

Also I have just noticed of a few of my story posts that names and wording in some speach has been altered/ messed up/ no longer makes sense. Meaning now im going to have to spent time to repair those pages, again I wonder why and fail to see why someone feels the urge to change other people's hard work or projects.

I havent touched text inside stories etc. So that wasn't me. If you don't believe check the change history.

I am also not going in on any witch hunt or pointing of fingers. I apologised... the damage is repairable... This will be my last post (or check) of this thread.

Apologies have been said. Mistakes are being reverted, thanks to the Wiki mods. Needless to talk about this any more, ive seen worse things done to a website, alot worse.


Anyway, any idea when the Wiki will be ok to start adding stuff again Z? Not that it's dire and I -urgently- need to add something, but just out of curiosity and to let other people know when it's cool to start their Wiki-fu.

Despite all the negativity, can I say that the recent excitement has encouraged me to want to come back and tidy up/update my Wikipages a bit. Thanks for that everyone!

Likewise I'm going to tidy house a bit

Who can delete entries? I have a couple that could really be deleted?

See peeps are making edits again, so... just for the sake of certainty:

Thank you Z for all your time and effort

Liz, do not worry I am in no way in any matter saying it was you, I do have a small memory of someone saying they were going to "clear up" one of the stories, and it is possible that this either never happen or that whoever it was just couldn't be bothered to finish it off, either way im now going to be using most likely tuesday to Update/clear up/redo and add in some other bits into the handbook.

I'm just the go-between, we have some of the people over on the Virtueverse wiki to thank for the bots and the backend work.

Also, go over there and check out the the story 'Season of Hope' by the Ascendent. If you don't cry, you're inhuman.

A good job from Zortel and all the Union/Virtue peeps that work in the shadows to bring us our Wikia goodness ^^

However...I am NOT amused. The thought of someone tampering with things that people have worked long and hard on is really, REALLY infuriating. Especially when you dont know what in Grims name you are doing!
So...mistake made. Learn. Do. Not. Repeat.
End.
