Wiki mishap

[Blokus]

I just editted the wiki and ran into a little problem. I added a topic called Pet Powerleveling and put some text into it. All fine and dandy. Then I decided to change the title to Powerleveling with Pets which is more accurate or the topic. The text I had entered into the topic was lost, so I had to retype it. Fortunately it wasn't very long.

[Majestic_Clown]

its ok, you sorted the issue,
If you have any issues like this let me know your Wiki Username, time and date of edit and what page of edit.
What then I can do Is undo or rollback any changes :)

Also I have reworded it From powerlevelling to 'Boosting' due to power leveling is associated to a 3th party paid leveling service ;)

[Blokus]

Thanks. Good point on using the word boosting.

[Blokus]

Uh oh. Just looked at it on the Wiki. The text is GONE AGAIN now that you changed the title. Apparently the two are link in the wiki database or something.

[Xzin]

Back in my day, we called it power leveling.

Not boosting. Or creeps. Or hydra.

Power leveling. Mobs. Multiboxing.

[Blokus]

Ok, I editted it for the third time and put the text back in. Probably a good thing as I shortened it each time. Just has the basic points on how it works.

I've heard the term "care bearing" used a couple of times.

Seems more appropraite to me. :D

(Note: At least on my server, anyone considering leveling a toon needs a 70 escort at almost all times due to the influx of PvP arena geared gankers being everywhere lawl)

I was leveling a rogue with my gf's druid prior to getting my system set up for multiboxing, we got ganked A LOT. NP, its a pvp server.. We have no problems now since my system has been set up for multiboxing, I just log into my other two 70s and put them on auto-follow while we're questing. Problem solved.

Power leveling. Mobs. Multiboxing.

QFT. Boosting makes it sound like we're stealing cars. So should we call it "Happy fun time" just because someone might misunderstand us to be stealing cars?

Is there a way to make a "forward" page such that we can keep titles like "Powerleveling" and have the page forward to your new "Boosting" term? Might help on wiki searches.

powerlevelling is a time of the past, like back in the days of UO
time to upgrade to new terminology

I guess we can't have any mention of gold in the wiki due to gold sellers. That or someone might think we're raiding fort knox.

I've never seen the word boosting used except here at this site recently. To my knowledge power leveling itself is not against the rules but using a third party service that power levels you is (as well as someone else using your account to power level you or the other way around when you can't log in).

Outside Stockades...

Player: Can I join your group?
lvl70: Sorry full group, I'm power leveling my multi-box team.
Player: OMG WTF HAX, IMA Report you! Cheater!
lvl70: Ok, I meant I'm Boosting my multi-box team through Stocks
Player: Guards! CAR THIEF! CAR THIEF!
lvl70: Hmmm....Sorry full group, Happy Fun Time in Stocks...


LOL

No sir, back in UO's day it wasn't Powerleveling, it was POWERHOUR. Power Leveling is so Asheron's Call.

[Djarid]

mmmm AC! :)

back on topic, I have redirected the "Powerleveing with Pets" page to the "Boosting with Pets" page, just so there is only one to maintain.

use the #REDIRECT [[page]] if anyone needs to do the same in the future.

[Vyndree]

I tried using #REDIRECT once before, it didn't work for me. :/

Meh.

We need to get image linking up. The wiki looks so bland without images.

[Sanctume]

where's the link this wiki thing? :p

[Vyndree]

where's the link this wiki thing? :p

Top navigation bar -- green ? symbol that says "Wiki".

Or, click this: http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki

Externernal image linking works already ( http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/PiP ) :)

so long
cyb

[Majestic_Clown]

currently external images are only allowed from http://solidice.com (keyclone website)

There isnt an admin panel to simply do things on the wiki so bare with me, if you add a lnik to an image I will go through and sort it all out :D

Blarg. How come it didn't work for me? I'm gonna have to try again.

EDIT: Nada. Still doesn't work for me.

[Djarid]

Which bit Vyndree?

the #REDIRECT? or the external images?

Majestic said that only www.solidice.com is allowed for external images atm

[Vyndree]

That part. ;)

I wanted to add some images for things like Maiden positioning, etc. I have my images on my v-boxing.net page, but it's up to the admins as to allowing that for image links.

Maybe they could add some nice way to link images via uploading to the Gallery?

[Djarid]

now that's a good idea ;)

and maybe allow wowiki?
