YumeWiki:Community

Welcome to the community hub, a place to discuss the wiki and ask questions related to the dream games.

Anyone with an account can participate in discussion.

• Create a new topic with == title ==
• Replies should use an indent level by having : at the start of each line – add more to indent it further
• Remember to sign any topics or replies with a signature by writing --~~~~ (or using the signature button in the toolbar)

Alternatively, you can talk to editors using the YumeWiki Discord server. Any consensus reached on Yume Wiki takes precedence over those in private chats.

Should we have a forum

Might as well make the example topic a meta one. We have the DPLForum extension installed but it's unused. Would anyone be interested in that? We're trying to branch out from private discord servers but we need a solution that can stick. Keeping in mind that everyone needs an account to edit still. --ZASNK (talk) 00:03, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

I like the idea. The way the extension does forums doesn't interest me as much (essentially just a talk page directory), but I'm not opposed to it. Potatoidea (talk) 11:53, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

One of the things making me hold off on setting it up is that the wiki has no notification system, and even watchlist emails are broken, so you'd have to be pretty active to even see a reply. Maybe I'm making a big deal out of it but I feel like notifications are pretty necessary --ZASNK (talk) 22:29, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

I forgot to say, a little while ago I discovered user messages do still exist, but not on the default skin, for whatever reason :-/ I think the "echo" extension could help with that but Im not sure if we want to use more extensions after last time XD --ZASNK (talk) 22:34, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

BGM changes

{{BGM}} has been changed to pull title, speed, and author information from {{Infobox file}}, if the infobox is used in the BGM file page. If a file is used in multiple locations, this would let you avoid redundant info, as only filename, label, and soundroom number needs to be put in. Of course, if there is no infobox on the file page, whatever input for {{BGM}} gets used instead.

The reason for this change was to avoid duplicating any information by using a central location.

The new format for BGM in {{Locationbox}} is more of a draft. There were complaints that having all info visible made it cluttered, so I moved speed and author into an icon hover (or tap on mobile). If anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear it (or be bold and change it yourself, although the template is even more of a mess to read than usual). --ZASNK (talk) 03:00, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

CSS changes

There's been quite a few changes to wiki CSS in the past few days. Here's the most relevant parts:

1. A proper "article-table" class has been added for styling tables like in YNFG Wiki
2. You can use "explain" for hover text/tooltips
3. There's also a "infoicon" class for icons like connection ones Locked🔒 though I don't think the connection templates have been updated to use it yet so here's a fake version 🔒
4. Empty table cells can use class=empty| to become dark. This is preferable to using strict colours like #ccc because it can be changed at any time, for example to tweak how empty cells are colored in Cosmos. (I forgot to add this point initially)

Cosmos has had several updates as well, mainly to stuff like menu dropdown colours and wikitable. Image thumbnail captions now also use wiki colours, which might be a problem in some cases, tell me if you think so.

Citizen skin (the one that was used as default temporarily when the wiki broke) now has proper dark mode support as well as a lot of general fixes. The colors of each wiki still need some tweaking, and wikis with a normally dark scheme (like muma rope) don't work in light mode. If you actually use this skin, let me know so I have incentive to fix it ;-)

(I think I'll keep using this page as a sort of noticeboard in the future)
