Kolfinna...

have I mentioned how cool this is?  :)

• I know, it rocks!--Kottr 23:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Page Titles

• Make sure to put spaces in your page titles, your recent ones BlueFeather and RegnalNumbers, I've had to go back and manually put spaces in. The system will handle spaces just fine when you are creating a page wiki.caid-commons.org/Sponge Bob --Kottr 16:38, 25 April 2008 (PDT)

Sorry... too many years of writing code. I'll try to remember. <G>

Populace page suggestion

I think it'd be fun to have a 'favorite stories' section on the People template where amusing anecdotes or inspiring tales could be recorded... like Balin's white Roman armor at Estrella (or maybe it was one of the earlier wars) and him striking poses on every convenient rock and hilly outcrop as the army marched by, crying "Onward, men, to Victory!", and then scrambling up the hill to the next turning to repeat the performance.

• I'm cool with that idea. The default layout guide is located Template_talk:Populace, while it won't propagate out to the world, it is the guide people are supposed to follow when building the populace pages. Perhaps we could call it the Memories section? I'll put that in for right now, pick the wording that most appeals to you though.--Kottr 08:56, 26 April 2008 (PDT)

• Please vote on the Talk:Main_Page#Date_and_Time discussion. --Kottr 13:40, 27 April 2008 (PDT)

• Image Uploads now work thanks to the wonderful Lorenz. To upload an image go here. Please read our policy in regards to all media here. This is the last technical hurdle, please take a quick look at the site, since we are shortly going to release it to the public. Thanks! --Kolfinna 13:40, 28 May 2008 (PDT)

==well, I've screwed it up... Kolfinna, I thought I'd preserved the formatting of the populate template in my bio page, but not. <sigh> Could you take a look and let me know where I bungled it?

• you forget to close the brackets for the image link of your device. I closed them and it worked fine. --Kolfinna 15:15, 4 June 2008 (PDT)
• Also the photo notes are nice, but there is a place for them in the picture template. Just add the text to "photocaption".

Update to Template

Thanks to User:Iulianna we now have default holder pictures for the populace pages. Please use the new code for any new populace pages you make, and update old populace pages when you have the time. Get the code here: Template talk:Populace --Kolfinna 19:48, 20 June 2008 (PDT)

Update to Fix Page

Help:Fix is where I am storing all the things to do and what needs to be focused on. We all have our own pet projects, but if you could also keep an eye on this page, that would be helpful. I also have discussion items that I need your feedback on Help:Fix#Discussion_Items. Thanks! --Kolfinna 09:29, 23 June 2008 (PDT)

Update to Populace pages

• Moved all the fix it notes to here Help:Fix#Populace_Pages.
• The most important addition is the Help:Populace_Names which is a direct feed from the OP, so should have the proper spelling for the majority of Caidans. Thanks! --Kolfinna 11:09, 25 June 2008 (PDT)

Name Correction

according to the OP, Edric's third queen's name is "Catalina Oro Sol", not "Catalina OroSol"...

• Fixed --Kolfinna 11:03, 9 July 2008 (PDT)

Royal Recognition of Excellence

do you think there'd be any interest in a list of the RRE Recipients and why they were given? If so, I'll be happy to research and post.

• I think that's a great idea. Go for it!--Kolfinna 14:29, 16 July 2008 (PDT)

Commentary Wanted

• See Help:Fix#Ideas --Kolfinna 13:26, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
• We are experimenting with a new method of displaying templates in a method which might be easier for people to use. Looking for commentary. See Template talk:Coronet for the proposed style.--Lachlan 09:56, 11 March 2009 (PDT)

Change to how User Groups Work

Great news! The Kingdom Webwright has given us a 3 month window to test to see how it would work if all users had edit abilities. So all users have been added to the "Commenters" group which allows you to edit live pages and upload photos. Jump right in and start adding new pages and editing old ones! If you need help on how to edit the wiki, visit Help:Contents. If I don't know who you are (i.e. I need to match your SCA name to your wiki account) you will not be added to the commenters group. This is rare, only a few of you I haven't been able to place. Email me at wiki@caid-commons.org if you need further help. --Kolfinna 13:33, 20 August 2008 (PDT)

New Wiki Admin

Since I'm now Crown Princess, I will be turning over the admin reigns to THL Lachlan User_Talk:Lachlan. Please work with him from here on out. Thanks Lachlan! --Kolfinna 17:59, 24 August 2008 (PDT)

Lachlan, I think that "Tomüki II and Luciana" needs to be changed to "Tomüki and Luciana"... the fact that he was King of Calontir is irrelevant to Caid; he was the first of that name here.

I agree.--Lachlan 15:54, 13 November 2008 (PST)

ID of people in photographs

Thank you for taking time to expand on who is in the photographs. On that subject, I've left a message for you at Talk:Martin and Neptha Coronet--Lachlan 10:20, 6 January 2009 (PST)
