Revision as of 19:47, 27 March 2015
First - there is an error message age the top of my current screen:
Creating User talk:USER4/DRAFT/Main Index of all BoyWiki pages (must be manually updated when necessary)
User account "USER4" is not registered. Please check if you want to create/edit this page.
Seems a problem with the case of the title of this page.
Second - how about if this is manually edited, and then given a link on the main page. I'm sure it would be appreciated by visitors to have an index of all BW pages! User4 (talk) 17:59, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- OK - thanks Etenne, for fixing the error.
- Now -- A question: Who in their right mind could deny that this page would be very useful for visitors to BoyWiki?!?!?
Actually, I have an idea of how to use it already by making it a template.--Etenne (talk) 21:16, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
BTW - here is a list of (mostly names) that are alphabetized wrong, or should have a cross-reference under a different letter:
For example, "Therapy for pedophilia/pedophiles" should have TWO entries - one under "T" (as it is now) and the other under "P" as in:
- "Pedophiles, therapy for"
... and then put the original link, like this: [[Therapy for pedophilia/pedophiles|Pedophiles, therapy for]]
- to get this: Pedophiles, therapy for
User4 (talk) 00:12, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
For names, something similar should be done:
- Under the "P" classification:
- [[William Percy|Percy, William A.]]
- to get Percy, William A.
- and the original entry under "W" can stay there. (Redundancy is good -- you never know exactly what will be most "logical" thing to the user, so give him several options of finding materials.) User4 (talk) 02:03, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Fixed some of the names -- still to do others User4 (talk) 03:49, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Fixed the rest. Still to do:
- Incorporate these into the main list
- Add new entries
- TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HAVE THE DISPLAY NOT VERTICAL, BUT INSTEAD, HORIZONTAL (if possible) User4 (talk) 04:22, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Done.
- I MAYBE SCREWED UP ON THE FOLLOWING - must go back and check them

I could easily write an extension to generate this index through a special page. There could be an option to filter it by page_is_redirect, page_len, etc. Alternatively, there should be a User:USER4Bot account set up with the bot flag, to update the index without appearing by default in RecentChanges. Let me know if you'd like any help developing some bot code. I usually use Chris G's botclasses, even though no one has been maintaining them lately, and the file upload function is broken if I recall correctly (not that it matters, since BoyWiki doesn't accept uploads from non-sysops anyway).
