Talk:Missouri Academy Wiki Page

Trolls

Trolls can do a lot of damage to a wiki. I forget where, but the wikipedia has statistics saying that over 90% of trolling activities are done by anonomous users. Might we think about disallowing anonmous edits on all but talk pages? I know it's sort of distasteful, but one troll could really mess things up in a hurry. -Goofyheadedpunk

Images

There needs to be a way to upload images. If not that, the <img> tag should be enabled to enable remote linking. --Squishypickle 19:43, 23 Dec 2004 (EST)

Also, let's change the background. But not to the damn academy flame. If you really want that, that can be at the top left (instead of the [[{flower}]] that there is now.

I'm not sure who posted this on the front page, but I think it belongs in the discussion section instead. I agree about the background change and I'm looking for alternatives. As far as using the Academy flame at all goes: I say no. This website is not related to the official Academy website in any way, and using their image would make it seem as if it were. The flower should also go though. - Mpnolan 22:40, 23 Dec 2004 (EST)

I would say its a bit related. Maybe a student carrying a torch, attempting to burn down the barrier to free expression. Thats an idea. --Squishypickle 23:50, 23 Dec 2004 (EST)

Should we try to impliment a threaded type discussion for the discussions pages? just so it will tab over correctly depending on where you click to reply? Andy 21:31, 24 Dec 2004 (EST)

Its not that necessary if you use subject/headlines like this

what? thats no way!

Its what the do at the wikipedia

Google

In order for this site to be visible to potential students, which I think should be one of the main goals as this information seems to be most valuable to potentials and underclassmen, we need to be visible on Google. Has the site been submitted to Google? Also, I think more emphasis should be placed on the wiki in the rest of the site (my thoughts: we can scrap all but the contact database). Thoughts anyone? -Chrax

Wait! Scrap everything? That makes me sad... - Stuey

*Everything that's not the wiki* -Chrax

I realize that... now. But it's a good idea. The Main Page is sort of ... lacking - Stuey

Yeah. All that information could be put in the wiki and linked to in an obvious way on the main page. A pretty colored box could say "Student Organizations" and have links to each. Other pretty boxes could have other useful information. -Squishypickle

Something like this:

Student Organizations
Stuff Stuff Stuff Stuff

I agree. Everything could easily be in the wiki. As a bonus, if it were all in the wiki, it wouldn't be so terrible. -Goofyheadedpunk
