Forum:WikiStickies

I have been seeing the WikiStickies and I must point out that its drawing attention to weird things. For example, it's asking for us to add a picture to the Zanjutsu article among others. Umm... why? What kind of picture do you want for that article? I mean, I could add the picture of the zanpakuto that's comings up during the opening sequence of the anime currently, will that do? I don't fully understand why it's asking for that. Also, it is asking to add more information on chapter articles 386. The Bestial and 385. Vice It, both of which are complete. I wrote the summary for chapter 386 myself and it has seen been edited numerous times by others to improve the language etc. Vice It too doesn't seem to be lacking in anyway. So what gives? I am wondering if we can't use the WikiStickies for something actually useful. Can it show messages like "Can you write the summary for chapter x which is missing a summary?" or something like that? Perhaps the messages can be a bit more clear about what is actually required. It seems like a useful tool but right now it's just confusing. Tinni 16:51, December 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * We have no control over what the wikisticky highlights right now. Those are what it says by default. There is supposed to be an update some time in the future (don't know when) that will give admins some more control over it. It seems to be programmed to ask for articles that do not have pictures to have some added, even if they do not need them, or there are no suitable images. Or if an article is under a certain length. Or new articles based on the red links. That's just the way it is programmed. -- Yyp  (Talk)  17:00, December 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * I figured as much. Well hopefully it'll be programmable soon and it could be used for something actually useful. Tinni 01:30, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hopefully indeed. They have already made some changes to it to solve some problems. I can see this being a very useful feature when we have control over it. I just wish I could tell it to ignore certain pages. -- Yyp  (Talk)  09:34, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
