The Wikis Theme (Community Discussion Pt.2)
Hello again editors!
The response to our last discussion definitely gave a solid OK to
the proposed theme! That said, there were a few things brought up
that are discussion worthy and that we should make sure to go
through before moving any further with this.
This post will not be nearly as long as the previous one, so let's
begin!
The Header Background
A minor change, but one of our editors noticed that the purple was
slightly light and maybe even too light for a theme that's trying
to work with more of MSPs colors.
Let us know which one you prefer and why!
The Wordmark
There was one editor who suggested we don't update to the proposed
wordmark and stick to the current one with a color change.
The Wikis Theme (Community Discussion)
So now that you've seen the proposed theme and know why some other
options don't work, let me explain why this one does
work.
It uses multiple colors that match MovieStarPlanet
This fixes our one color theme problem, but it also makes sure we
stay true to MovieStarPlanet.
It's main "color" is neutral
In order to insure all of our content looks equally as good on our
wiki, the main theme color is neutral. Additionally, this helps to
insure that real color stands out.
It's bright, but not blinding
Bright is good when it comes to text, which as mentioned, we have a
lot of. This theme keeps the good about brightness, but it doesn't
give you so much that it's blinding.
It's the right mix between MovieStarPlanet's design and
"modern" design
This keeps ou…
Personality Sections (Wiki Reminder)
Hello there fellow contributors!
I've been noticing an increased amount of these "personality"
sections on articles or information explaining the moviestars
"personality" in general and I'd just like to remind anyone who has
been doing this that these types of sections are not
accepted here.
A wikis goal is to provide useful and factual information; there is
absolutely no way you can write about anothers "personality"
without having opinions and controversy come into play. If this
were a wiki about a book, show, play, or something else with
"scripted" characters then adding personality sections would
be okay, but as long as you're writing about the moviestars of MSP,
you're writing about people.
If you want to write about your own personality, the…
Your Personal Wiki Files
Hello there fellow contributors!
In the coming weeks photo maintenance is going to be a top priority
of ours. Part of this means cleanup of current photos and new
policies for personal files.
Personal files will not be going anywhere yet, but to help keep our
wiki cleaner and prevent them from becoming a problem we're going
to be adding some new maintenance-related policies for them.
These will consist of four simple things(most of which are
already in place and have just not been clearly announced).
- Naming - Personal files will have new naming policies to help separate them from wiki files.
- Usage - All unused files(personal or not) will no longer stay on the wiki for long periods of time.
- Maintenance - We will now be more strict about expecting y…
Images of artbooks on articles (Community Update)
Hello once again my fellow moviestars and contributors!
Today I'm going to explain the change we've made to our wiki based
on our previous two discussions(see here and here).
We'll now begin allowing images of artbooks on articles so long as they following the related policies.
The Policies
- No more than three(3) images may be added into the article.
- Images may only be added if the artbook is relevant to the article/moviestar.
- Images must be the downloaded image from MovieStarPlanet. General sreenshots will not be accepted.
- Artbooks must belong to the moviestar the article is about.
- Exceptions to this rule require admin approval.
- Adding faked images will be considered vandalism.
- Images must be named using the following syntax
