User:Daquaris

Please note: This is my userpage, kind of a scratch pad for me, and, a short bio. If you want to contact me, please do so on on my talkpage, instead of here.

About me

In game

• I'm a Caldari.
• I like to fly Gallente ships (drone boats FTW!), or Minmatar.
• I find Exploration to be a relaxing hobby.
• I'm in the corporation I.M.M, which is a member of the alliance Systematic-Chaos

Out of game

• I'm very experienced with MediaWiki, so, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Or, if it needs to be private, E-mail me. Always willing to help with MediaWiki related things too, custom patches, extensions, etc.

Meta pages that I hang out at

• EVElopedia - The EVE Online Wiki talk:Community Portal

Suggestions to the Evelopedia operators

• Install ParserFunctions (Please?)
• Re-enable the new messages bar. Especially with e-mail broken.
• Enable a limited, bot-friendly API. Not the write API per say, but, give me a way to pull revisions, so I can start some projects. Think spell checking, dead / spam (via DNSBL ) link checking, et cetera.
• Fix e-mail. I can't allow others to e-mail me, as I have no e-mail on file. I can't set an e-mail, as you guys have disabled darn near everything in preferences. Therefore, I cannot send, nor receive, user to user e-mails. Also means I don't get e-mail notifications. Turned out to be a misc bug, fixable by logging out and in :)
• Fix the watchlist. It looks like you guys hacked something up, in order to style this.... That's probably part of the problem.
• EVElopedia - The EVE Online Wiki:. WTH? That's a namespace? I have to copy / paste that anytime I want to link something, as the chances that I'll successfully remember it in my old age are very slim. Can I has shortcut? EVE: EVElopedia: or something? See the relevant manual page on how to do this please, or, just ask how if you want.
• Please rethink the naming policy, adding (Player alliance), (Character) and (Player Corporation) creates huge headaches due to the mediawiki being casesensitive. From a logical standpoint it's ambigious as well since you are categorizing stuff through enforcing a naming policy but that stuff gets added to categories anyway. To Darqius great post i just had to add this. DrAtomic 02:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
  • You know, namespaces may be useful for these. Such as Alliance:Whatever or Corporation:Whatever. Then just use cats to sort out the rest. Dunno tho. Daquaris 04:27, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
