Revision as of 15:21, 28 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?!?!?
Who every said I was in my right mind? I will go punch them in the nose! Yes, you are doing a good job on this page and when you are finished (ready), I am sure I will be able to find a place to put it:) --Etenne (talk) 21:06, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

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]]

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
  • A. PercyçWilliam**çWilliam A. Percy
  • , Janssen-Verlag|, Janssen-Verlag]]
  • Jock Sturges|Peron, Jim
  • Dr. Milton Diamond|Milton Diamond, Dr.

Automation

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).

@Etenne: Regarding manually adding newer articles to our BoyWiki index

Most of the newer articles added recently to BoyWiki by one editor are extremely prejudicial to BoyLovers and the BoyLove "cause".

I hesitate to add them to our new index, as they seem so inappropriate to inclusion on BoyWiki. In fact, I suspect that many of them may even eventually be deleted.

Etenne -- should I go ahead and add them anyway?
