Talk:Main Page

Looking good

Looks like we are doing alright so far with this page; lol... people go ahead of me - Atsumari (talk) 02:51, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Can we categorize this?

Just to clean up Special:UncategorizedPages. I suggest putting this page under Category:CAT. Waldo (talk) 08:07, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Moved this into the CAT category so it isn't eaten by special pages as requested; looks like it may have already been in the root namespace but just for clarity sake until we build a full on mainpage. Thanks for the catch <3 - Atsumari (talk) 11:36, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Anonymization of non-logged in user IPs

I would like to request that users who make edits without user accounts do not have their full IP published in the edit log.

I made a suggestion on the Discord server on your behalf. Waldo (talk) 10:44, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

For that there is an extension called AnonPrivacy https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AnonPrivacy Fen (talk) 22:02, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

Greetings, I made the suggestion to the team on your behalf. At the momment, there is no plan or intention to anonymize IPs for non-logged in users. It helps with accountability as knowing the IP will be visible deterring bad behavior. It also makes moderation easier. Realistically the only alternative is hashing the ip which complex and destroys the core principles that the wiki is about. Fen (talk) 23:16, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

Add a patent as a source

My interest in this woke up when editing this article, and following the Wikipedia page to cite from a patent, when previewing the article the reference wasn't rendered properly. I don't know if I screwed up something or really the site doesn't support yet the use of this format. Hope someone could illustrate me on how to move on with this Fjordpining (talk) 06:33, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

stating "Recently updated" not particularly helpful

On the "create account" page, near the bottom, it says, "We have recently updated our privacy policy." How recently? It doesn't say. The logical assumption which must be made is that it has changed seconds ago, and must be reread. How about instead displaying something along the lines of, "Our privacy policy was last updated on <date>", even if there does not exist a way to automate the display of the date, and the "create account" page (or the page of any other such notice) must be edited by hand?

this is valid, and we'll try and get it fixed shortly Keith (talk) 08:29, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Dependence on phone app for basic functions, make an article?

I'm on Frontier internet, only gig around and I think they know it. We got fiber a few years ago and if you want wi-fi you either go with the Amazon Eeros(?) or learn how to do your own router. The Eeros seems that you can only access settings with a phone app, no desktop. Would this qualify it for an article on here? I've also heard about sleezy back door things happening either from Amazon or the IP itself, that they can access settings the customer cannot. Anyhow I don't want to just go ahead and write some poorly put together article and it shouldn't even be on here. Sawbones (talk) 17:57, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

This probably depends on the level of coverage. have there been any news articles (local or otherwise) which are complaining about this? Forcing the customer to use unneccesarily invasive software to access a service is something which definitely fits within the wiki's scope, and anything which is happening across a whole ISP would be large-scale enough, but the final thing an article needs is good sources Keith (talk) 08:27, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Cruzaders kings 2 incident.

Hi everyone, as a fan of Paradox games and somebody that really wants to write in this wiki i wanted to ask something... what right exactly the paradox incident covers? i want to do it, but i dont understand quite exactly what i should do at writting it, why its an anti ownership or anti consumer practice, i need to understand that first to start it, because if i dont recognize well the systematic issue i think that i cannot treat it. Predatitor41 (talk) 01:26, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

I think I see the one you mean on the article suggestions. I'm honeslt not sure why it should be there either, it doesn't seem to fit. They sell a lot of DLC and it's quite expensive, but there's nothing particularly deceptive going on there from what I can tell. Keith (talk) 08:29, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

It looks like it was eliminated of suggestion articles, i dont know why but it looks like it was discarded. Predatitor41 (talk) 14:44, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

I removed it for reasons stated previously - it (at least the way it was phrased in the entry) did not seem like something which would fit on the wiki Keith (talk) 14:48, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
