I've finally fixed the problem with the email functions. You can now actually use the e-mail user function, verify your email account and recover forgotten password, etc. Only took me what, two years? --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] 23:49, 15 June 2012 (BST)
2d4chan is a site devoted to the description and archival of all sorts of things interesting and relevant to [[Tg|/tg/]] (the "traditional games" board of [[4chan]]), including articles on [[fa/tg/uy]] culture, [[meme]]s particular to (or at least commonly used on) /tg/, games and systems played by its browsers, interesting [[fluff]] thereof, and [[:Category:Stories|writefaggotry]] posted to the board.
 
== News ==
Good news, everyone! Recently I tinkered with the wiki configuration a little and as a result we have some new namespaces to play with. There is now a proper Campaign: namespace and a new Setting: namespace, with associated article discussion namespaces at Campaign talk: and Setting talk:, to help us organise the wiki a little better. One of the things that this allows me to do is specify the Campaign: namespace as a non-content space - meaning that articles in that namespace will not be counted as content articles for statistics purposes, and nor will they show up if you follow the Random page link in the navigation bar (nor should they show up in the orphaned pages list, to the benefit of those volunteer wikijanitors amongst us). Hopefully this change will make using the Random page function more appealing since you should now be far less likely to just find scattered pages from some random person's three year old campaign.
 
The Setting: namespace, on the other hand, IS considered to be a content namespace. Its purpose is to keep information about homebrew settings /tg/ has come up with if they're not just within the scope of a single campaign, and is not meant for single campaigns or the officially published settings of games. For instance, if you're running a game and using the wiki to store data, information about the setting for your game should go in your Campaign:Foo pages. Something like the [[Tiji Sector]] or [[The Unified Setting for /tg/]], on the other hand, should go in the setting namespace. I'm going to go through and move a few things I know about into the setting namespace but I won't get nearly everything so feel free to move pages you find or maintain into the newly appropriate namespace.
 
One important thing to remember about these new namespaces is that they allow subpages, unlike the main namespace. This means that if you create a page at Campaign:Foo/Bar there will be an automatic link back at the top of the page to Campaign:Foo, and the pages are considered associated. The downside is that any forward slash (/) in the page title will create a subpage structure so it is not safe to use slashes as anything other than a subpage delineator in these namespaces. See [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Link#Subpage_feature the associated wikimedia page] on linking to see how to take advantage of this functionality. I've also installed the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SubPageList SubPageList extension] which you can use to create an automatic list of all of an article's subpages; full usage instructions can be found at the link.
 
When you are creating articles about settings, it's fine to split up setting information into multiple pages, but the setting should have one main page at Setting:Whatever (even if it is primarily an overview or index and the bulk of the information is in other pages), and all the other pages specific to that setting should ultimately be subpages of that main page. Subpages can have subpages themselves, so for instance Setting:Foo/Races/Barrians is a valid construction.
 
So drunk am I on the power of namespace configuration that I may, in the future, decide to create even more namespaces for specific types of article, like a Story: namespace for stories, so watch out for that. What I definitely intend to do is write up a useful and permanent guide for where exactly any specific sort of article belongs and what templates you should probably put on it (but note that's merely a declaration of intention. I make no promises). I also might eventually get around to fiddling with the monobook colour scheme. --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] 17:08, 10 June 2012 (BST)
