Talk:Disability Services Guide to Dragon Con Wiki

We'll need to figure out how best to get the link to the Forum space on here, though I'm not sure I really want to use Wikia as the Forum. Might we just link to the Google Group site for email communications and not Forum here?

I was thinking about a forum here for consumers to talk to us between Cons, not so much for us to talk amongst ourselves... cherie wren 18:55, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

Why does it think its after 6 pm? Its only 3... cherie wren 18:56, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm, fair enough. Though this is not the neatest-existing forum system I've ever seen. I might have to dig up an alternate. (Maybe Convore; that's a pleasant interface.)

Oh, and it thinks its 6p because it is 6pm. In the UTC time-zone. Which no one almost ever uses. :)

Hey SquidLord, can you look at the secret code pages on the forum, and see how to get the 'add topic' button back in? I can't tell which part of the coding is needed and which is something else... cherie wren 00:54, September 11, 2011 (UTC)

OK, if the convore thing works well need to remove the forums here and link to the other one somehow. cherie wren 17:07, September 11, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, working out how to do that. Ideas be percolating.

navigation in the Wiki?
SquidLord! I added stubs for several pages, but I can't figure out how to get to them. Is there a way to add them to the table of contents, or since that only is for the 'front' page, a navigation bar or something? Of course, there could be soething perfectly obvious that I am not seeing? cherie wren 17:23, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Technically, this is the page to look at:

http://dragonconds.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Links

Short version, do an internal link to a page that doesn't exist, then click it and it'll go to a page creation page.

Longer version, I'm finding Wikia a real pain in the ass in the terms of their link management, page design, and general design. I'm looking at Wikidot as a possible alternative. I'm hoping to tinker with hand-migrating what we have in a day or so, just to see if it'll be less of a massive hassle-generator.

Stay tuned for more thrilling insanity.

hows the migration going? I found this one too...  http://www.wikispaces.com/  but I have no idea what makes one better tahn another... cherie wren 20:23, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
