Bugfixes:

• There was a bug in the wiki's setup that prevented you from reaching image pages in the File namespace with spaces in the url, like "File:Block_Pump %28RedPower%29.png", where as "File:Block_Pump_%28RedPower%29.png" worked.
• Image thumbnails on the image pages in the File namespace didn't generate.

 

New extensions:

• MultiUpload: http://ftbwiki.org/S...:MultipleUpload

 

Template changes:

• Carbon: Social buttons have been added in the discussion box on article pages.
• Carbon: Header styles have been adapted to improve readability, http://ftbwiki.org/User:RZR0/Headers
• Carbon: Bookmark page button added on article pages.
• Carbon: Logo updated.

What about the bug that gives you an image instead of video when using the File: prefix on videos?

 

Hmmm, if we changed that to the Video: prefix... would that work?

That wouldn't work. I don't know how exactly, but Wikia embedded most videos differently than we do now. You can embed youtube videos now with {{#ev:youtube|VIDEO_ID|450}}, where 450 is the standard video width we're going to be using now. There's a more detailed description of the process here: http://www.reddit.co...wikiorg/c8bbmhi

 

We'll have to change all of the embedded videos manually I'm afraid, but aside from me there's at least 2 or 3 more people currently working on this, so the work is progressing fairly quickly.

Do <youtube> tags still work? I always preferred using those...

They don't currently, for now I've enabled this because these tags are parsed by different embedding extensions, and I'd like to limit us to a single embedding system. I'm working on making <youtube></youtube> tags an optional method for using the current system for convenience, but I'd encourage to use the system as it is.

Too bad, I prefer them because there is no uploading and it is a quick and direct link with fewer steps to take.

The current system also requires no uploading. It does the same thing, just with a different syntax.

[felinoel]

A tad more convoluted syntax though. =b

True, but it does allow you to use services other than youtube. But as I said, I'm looking into adding the youtube syntax back in with the current embedding system.

lol few use other services

It should simply be standardized to only use videos from youtube to make things simpler.

[RZR0]

That's it for today's changes.

I can understand why it isn't, don't want to limit people's options.
