Submachine Wiki

I think Wikia allows bots to edit pages, we could make one to do the dirty work if it's simple enough, like reordering words, changing title case, links, etc.

If not, there is also the option of wiki editing software.

They do allow the usage of bots, but we have to create one first. Having a bot or two around would help considerably!

I've done a search for bot usage and most people point in the direction of this bot

We can also request a bot flag, which the Wikia admins will flag the account as a bot and it will hide its edits from recent changes, so that way the page isn't overwhelmed.

Modified the main page but more importantly added time windows to the theory voting page. Let me know what you all think!

Also, Gem, what were you planning when editing the 12Vegeta12 section under "Unconfirmed"?

I'm going to hold off on that and renovate the main theories page and user theories pages, so you can relock the article if you want. I'll let you know when I'm ready to edit theory voting.

Thank you! We can make a bot account, and call it "maintenance sub-bot" or something like that, it will come in handy

@Vortex: You're welcome and sounds good

Changing the placement of voting links for theory pages, makes more sense methinks. Image attached showing change.

Provided that you're willing to go through all the pages, this is a great idea. It gets the voting results off the pages, which could be misinterpreted as places to actually vote. Everything looks cleaner.

I assume you're leaving results for Debunked and Confirmed theories on the pages, right? EDIT: Scratch that, they're not really that needed.

Also, has anyone thought of a word yet to replace Unconfirmed? We can use Pending, but I think any theory that's not confirmed or debunked would be "pending", technically.

What about simply "New"? I mean, technically almost none of the unvoted ones are new, but they're new to voting.

Pending Vote
Vote Pending
Unvoted

Regarding confirmed/debunked theories I can go back and add a date when the theory was debunked or confirmed.

XYZ Theory (Confirmed)
Theory was confirmed on 12/14/15

ABC Theory (Debunked)
Theory was debunked on 12/14/15

I like unvoted

Anyone else agree?

Also, everyone take a quick look at the Theory Voting page and tell me if you like the changes I made there or not.

I have an extension on my chrome called search and replace. I can find any word and replace it with another, I can easily change Unconfirmed to Unvoted with one button press on both pages. Also while editing individual pages I can change it to Unvoted.

I saw your changes Jatsko, nice work
