        but would users gain any practical advantage?
      • 2012-01-03 00332, 2012

      • ocharles
        ZaphodBeeblebrox: let me check
      • 2012-01-03 00303, 2012

      • ocharles
        ZaphodBeeblebrox: yea, pm me an email address
      • 2012-01-03 00337, 2012

        ocharles: luks was kind enoughto already do it :) thank you still
      • 2012-01-03 00302, 2012

      • ocharles
        ah, cool

        http://musicbrainz.org/edit/15939348 looks like it needs some more eyes and some discussion outside of the two people who're talking right now, in case someone wants to check

        congrats wikimedia! $20 millions collected! http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/01/02/wikimedia-fu…
      • 2012-01-03 00342, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Yeah, now if they found a way of doing that without annoying half-a-screen banners it would be amazing :p
      • 2012-01-03 00358, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (I admit it is impressive though)
      • 2012-01-03 00349, 2012

      • voiceinsideyou joined the channel
      • 2012-01-03 00333, 2012

      • murdos
        yeah, I admit their banners were too agressive
      • 2012-01-03 00339, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I guess it *is* what works for them, but I'd love them to try and make them smaller and see if they get less donations because of it
      • 2012-01-03 00319, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (I also don't think such an approach would work on MB now because a huge part of our use comes via ws and we can't put banners there)
      • 2012-01-03 00320, 2012

      • murdos dreams of a day where MB had the same ambitions
      • 2012-01-03 00329, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I do think some reminding about donations to MB makes sense though, maybe for example after blog posts for releases
      • 2012-01-03 00334, 2012

      • murdos
        well, just a small reminder - from time to time - about existence of donations would help
      • 2012-01-03 00335, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Especially the CAA one, for example
      • 2012-01-03 00303, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (the actual release, once the Archive is ready)
      • 2012-01-03 00307, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (not the code one)
      • 2012-01-03 00324, 2012

      • murdos
        yes, I agree

        tldr / "too long didn't read"
      • 2012-01-03 00352, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Yeah, that
      • 2012-01-03 00303, 2012

      • jesus2099
        wow, new one for me :)
      • 2012-01-03 00316, 2012

      • ocharles
        murdos: it would seem the whole "begging for donations" thing does work :)
      • 2012-01-03 00313, 2012

      • jesus2099
        I know who ZaphodBeeblebrox is
      • 2012-01-03 00329, 2012

      • reosarevok
        ocharles: it does work for Wikipedia, which is a page based on actual views
      • 2012-01-03 00336, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Would it work for MB, based mainly on ws?
      • 2012-01-03 00345, 2012

      • reosarevok isn't against trying though
      • 2012-01-03 00346, 2012

      • ocharles
        reosarevok: I was being a bit sarcastic with that comment
      • 2012-01-03 00307, 2012

      • reosarevok
        :p
      • 2012-01-03 00309, 2012

      • ocharles
        (it does work, but wouldn't work as well for mb because we're just not as important as wikipedia)
      • 2012-01-03 00322, 2012

      • reosarevok
        True, but we don't need $20 million either :p
      • 2012-01-03 00343, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (they would be great, but we don't need them)
      • 2012-01-03 00344, 2012

      • ocharles
        :P
      • 2012-01-03 00359, 2012

      • reosarevok
        ocharles, move to a cheaper country instead, instant raise :p
      • 2012-01-03 00313, 2012

      • jesus2099
        reosarevok: ah sometimes “they” ask for server names here, in the IRC ?
      • 2012-01-03 00317, 2012

      • ocharles
        i'm doing it wrong, planning to move to a more expensive country :P
      • 2012-01-03 00325, 2012

      • murdos
        reosarevok: that's why MB should have a more appealing visual, and start being indexed by google
      • 2012-01-03 00327, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Which one was that?
      • 2012-01-03 00347, 2012

      • jesus2099
        reosarevok: the wiki page with server names :)
      • 2012-01-03 00347, 2012

      • reosarevok
        murdos, agreed on both counts, the visual part is harder, the index one should start soon I hope
      • 2012-01-03 00351, 2012

      • reosarevok
        What happened with it?
      • 2012-01-03 00358, 2012

      • murdos
        it should be one aim of MB to attract more website visits
      • 2012-01-03 00358, 2012

      • reosarevok
        jesus2099, that was at ocharles
      • 2012-01-03 00304, 2012

      • jesus2099
        :D
      • 2012-01-03 00311, 2012

      • reosarevok
        jesus2099: at you, "they" is ruaok, mostly, and yes
      • 2012-01-03 00322, 2012

      • reosarevok
        He sometimes asks for names here
      • 2012-01-03 00329, 2012

      • jesus2099
        three guys : ruoak, mostly and yes. ;)
      • 2012-01-03 00333, 2012

      • reosarevok
        LOL
      • 2012-01-03 00357, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Oh, but Yes are several guys!
      • 2012-01-03 00304, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (also, they're boring)
      • 2012-01-03 00307, 2012

      • jesus2099
        I like jiji and kiki but it probably sounds stupid out of context
      • 2012-01-03 00339, 2012

      • reosarevok
        All our server names do ;)
      • 2012-01-03 00339, 2012

      • nikki
        heh, jiji was one of the ones I was considering
      • 2012-01-03 00354, 2012

      • nikki is working her way through the cats in studio ghibli anyway

      • 2012-01-03 00327, 2012

      • reosarevok
        That took a while, but complete catalogs are a godsend
      • 2012-01-03 00347, 2012

      • nikki
        reosarevok: and no, it's not on userscripts because it's still too basic
      • 2012-01-03 00320, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Yeah, as I said later, adding a "part./live/inst./cover" thing to it would be needed before it was useful for non-autoeditors
      • 2012-01-03 00346, 2012

      • jesus2099 loves this kiki+jiji “couple”
      • 2012-01-03 00353, 2012

      • nikki
        and not adding the work as soon as its clicked :P
      • 2012-01-03 00332, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Why not?
      • 2012-01-03 00332, 2012

      • jesus2099
        nikki: it’s nostalgic feeling, if you add them once, thanks :)
      • 2012-01-03 00355, 2012

        reosarevok: the number of times I've almost misclicked that link is crazy :P

        And yet, *almost*

      • reosarevok
        Still not a big issue
      • 2012-01-03 00347, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Even less for non-autoeditors, who can just cancel

        jesus2099: the script retrieves Wikipedia urls from url ARs, you need to modify it if you want it to try to find pages based on the entity name

        jesus2099: ok, this is really weird. I was going to say the browser most likely doesn't matter in this case, but for some reason, opera loads it (slow and without any css, but it does) :/

        nikki: you might want to remove the "Right now it doesn't work for works." parts

        Mineo: it just loaded slowly for me too (although it managed to load with CSS too)
