For the last week I've been doing a lot of update work, mainly to the code. Here is a summary
  
==Policy==
+
* Updated to the latest [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.19 MediaWiki 1.19 version]. We will not be updating to 1.20 or 1.21 this year. 1.19 is a Long Term Support version with support until May 2015.
I would like to direct you attention toward [[Neocron Wiki talk:Sysop Policy]]]. The wiki's policys are in desperate need of an overhaul, many of them still contain place holders and what little we do have is extremely superficial. --[[User:Solid Rock|Solid Rock]] 23:11, 5 May 2008 (BST)
+
* I have removed a lot of old code which was intended for the BP wiki
: I totally agree - policies need a total overhaul, it was something on my THN forums todo list, however I personally just dont have the time - Can I suggest that we write the thoughts we have for each policy on the talk pages and then we can have a discussion about each section as they are added? --{{:User:Delphi/Sig2}} 23:13, 5 May 2008 (BST)
+
* The THN NC Wiki Extension has a new MetaData extension see [[Metadata:Main_Page]] This is used by the Mapping plugin to read settings.
 +
* The existing THN wiki plugins haver been revamped, refactored and updated.
 +
* The existing THN wiki plugins now use the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader MediaWiki Resource Loader].
 +
* The RSS Reader has been replaced completely. The old version wasn't being maintained and tbh, the code looks a mess. New more powerful version is this [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RSS RSS Reader].
  
== Wiki Team ==

It would be nice to put together a team of Wiki admins for the [[Master_Hunter_Tournament]] being organised by [[Reakktor]] for the [[Terra]] server. Sign up here if you want to join us, if we can get 4/6 people then we will look at doing two teams and having a small bit of competition between the admins here in the wiki. This is a good chance for us to get some publicity to the wiki, and also have some fun whilst we are at it! {{:User:Delphi/Sig2}}21:22, 13 May 2008 (BST)

* [[User:Delphi|Delphi]]  ''Has dropped out of the team again...''
 
 
 
* Update 4th June - Ok I'm still up for this, but I may need to send in a new team to the event organisers. The team I had entered consisted of Me, Matan and Chris (Exl member). Since then we have Delphi back and also Dribble Joy said he would help out as well, which will give us at least 2 teams. I know it's not quite the wiki team but it still be a bit of fun. --[[User:Brammers|Brammers]] 14:09, 4 June 2008 (BST)
 
 
 
* '''Update:''' I am going to have to pull out again, I have just been told that I am off to watch the Matrix trilogy back to back at the IMAX cinema in London (Starting at 11:30, but obviously need to be there before hand). Sorry guys.... {{:User:Delphi/Sig2}} 11:33, 5 June 2008 (BST)
 
 
 
== Item DB Discussion ==
 
 
 
I have started a thread on the THN forums about future coding work on the Item DB, which has some items related to the Wiki. Please see http://forum.techhaven.org/viewtopic.php?t=3096 and I would welcome any thoughts and comments there as well. --[[User:Brammers|Brammers]] 14:37, 19 May 2008 (BST)
 
 
 
== NCWiki Admin Meet ==
 
 
 
* I am trying to organise a meet in London as part of JfL (The gaming community I help to run) and would like to invite all of the Wiki admins, it would be great to meet you all and buy you a beer to say thanks for all the hard work you have all put into the wiki. To sign up please post dates when you are available [http://forums.jflgaming.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=123 here] {{:User:Delphi/Sig2}} 10:49, 21 May 2008 (BST)
 
 
 
== New policy discussion ==
 
 
 
Ok I've more or less finalised the draft for the [[Neocron_Wiki:Disambiguation_Policy|Disambiguation Policy]] I would like anyones comments on it ASAP, and I would like to make it live next week, as it does effect the mapping project. --[[User:Brammers|Brammers]] 14:04, 4 June 2008 (BST)
 
 
 
== Banners ==
 
 
 
* We have been asked by [[User:Snowcrash|Snowcrash]] to make a small banner for use on the front page of the official site [http://www.neocron.com here] - I have come up with two designs so far - will be working on some more over the next couple of days - any feedback and comments are welcome [[User:Delphi/Official_Banners|here]] {{:User:Delphi/Sig4}} 15:07, 1 August 2008 (BST)
 
 
 
== New wiki software ==
 
 
 
Ok on the dev site is the latest version of the software, which needs testing. Can all Sysops please read http://forum.techhaven.org/viewtopic.php?t=3182 and help out with the testing please. --[[User:Brammers|Brammers]] 14:08, 27 September 2008 (BST)
 
 
 
== Editing bug ==
 
 
 
Upon editing a small page, the page became corrupt - the [[Berserker]] page. I have made some suggestions on that page's [[Talk:Berserker|discussion]], which I think warrants discussion. --[[User:StevenJ|StevenJ]] 22:33, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 
 
 
update - it's happened again, this time when nothing was edited, whilst I was getting the links... --[[User:StevenJ|StevenJ]] 22:33, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 
 
 
Try adding '''?action=purge''' at the end of the URL that may fix it. I know the wiki software has it's internal cache, so it may be worth clearing it if it happens again. --[[User:Brammers|Brammers]] 23:53, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 
 
 
Ok I'm getting some odd editing bugs as well - Steve, can you add as much as possible to this [[User_Talk:Brammers/Bug Page|bug page]] please?  --[[User:Brammers|Brammers]] 11:36, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
