Talk:H*R.com updates 2005
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Maybe this should be moved to HSR.com updates, since asterisks in URLs are ugly. - furrykef 17:38, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)
- H*R seems to be the standard abbreviation you see around the net when referring to Homestar Runner. I don't really care what the URL looks like, frankly. I say to leave it as is. Render
- I kind of agree with Render. "HSR.com" doesn't mean anything to me; I think it's confusing. Note that you can still type "H*R.com updates" into your Address bar and you'll still get to the correct page, even though the browser will encode your URL. — InterruptorJones[[]]
- I've never used the "HSR" abbreviation. Who uses that anyway? And since we're talking about typing stuff in address bars, here's a fun fact: typing "Homestar Runner updates" into Google's "I'm feeling lucky" search (or just typing it into Firefox's location bar) will land you on our Main Page. -- Tom 12:03, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

- We could change it to "Official Site Updates". Would that remedy the confusion between abbreviations? --JoeyDay 12:29, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)
- Just make a redirect or something, like the one for my profile (which will link you to my Wikipedia profile). There's no reason that there shouldn't be a redirect. In fact, I think I'll go do one right now, save people some time.

- And for the record, I use the "HSR" abbreviation. Both are acceptable abbreviations from what I can tell; whichever one you use is entirely up to personal preference. I just happen to prefer "HSR" since I think the asterisk looks kinda funky used in an abbreviation like that. Shadow Hog 15:07, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

RSS
Could we get an RSS feed for this page like the one in recent changes? That would be very handy :) -Southpaw018
- What is an RSS feed? ~Hobo
- There's some good information on RSS in this forum topic and on the HRWiki:Feeds page. -- Tom 15:09, 15 Oct 2004 (MST)
- Sad to say, a feed for this page does not look like it's gonna happen anytime soon. In the meantime, you can use this feed. http://interglacial.com/rss/homestar.rss --James 16:46, 19 Oct 2004 (MST)

Parsing Error
The H*R.com updates article has been throwing an error since a recent upgrade. Has anyone else seen other pages doing this? I think it has something to do with the template. Other pages are loading templates just fine, and, in fact, Template:updates is viewable. So why would the program have problems inserting that template onto this page? --JoeyDay 12:49, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
- Update: there seem to be problems loading the updates template onto any page (I just tried in the sandbox). Any ideas? --JoeyDay 12:55, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
- Check your comp. I see the template just fine and dandy, I don't know why you wouldn't be. (Unless, of course, it was fixed in the last three hours, which isn't impossible.) --Shadow Hog 13:23, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
- It wasn't the template that was the problem. As I mentioned above, the template was viewable, it was just throwing errors when used on pages. Actually, everything is fixed now. I re-uploaded all the files for MediaWiki and that seems to have fixed things up nicely. --JoeyDay 13:43, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

Lock?
I've noticed that some pages on Wikipedia happen to be lockable if people keep on editing in nasty things. Like, say, George W. Bush. Would that be possible on here? It'd sure-as-heck prevent all those people from trying to post updates here or vandalizing it, and frankly, what editing does this page really need? It's a page with a call to a template and maybe an introductory paragraph, but that's it. What's to edit? I say, if it's possible, this get protected from editing to make our lives a little easier. --Shadow Hog 23:09, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
- Thanks for the tip, but this page is already protected. -- Tom 05:52, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)
- Must've happened when I wasn't looking. Thanks anyway.--Shadow Hog 10:23, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)
So long...
Why does it take so long for edits to the template to take effect here? I press reload over and over and nothing happens... --Nerdular Nerdence 00:56, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)
- Still broken here, too. Maybe the lock is messing it up for some reason. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef (Talk at me)]] 03:01, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)
Still nothing. Will admins look at please? --Nerdular Nerdence 22:31, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)
