The RBI Baseball Database

[Gantry]

Yeah, one for the more general RBI terms (BOP, Glitch) and one for the forum stuff (vike, fkn).  The beauty of the categories is that they aren't really pages. Categories are kind of a container for other pages - the good thing is that an article can belong to multiple pages....

[Gantry]

Plenty of quality updates, well done for today!  I don't forsee any more database problems in the future, I know what happened and can easily fix if it happens again...

At the rate we're going, the RBI Database will have more information than dee-nee proper within a month.  That is the goal, keep on adding stuff....

[Gantry]

Gotcha....   The problem with your page with definitely on our end and was related to why the db went down for awhile....

As for new pages, you probably know now but - if you search for a topic and there is no result, you can click a link to start an article with what you searched for.  Probably the easiest way to make a page...

The BoSox pages was awesome, keep it up...

[Gantry]

Impressive work so far ShitPaw, great to see the unique topics you are pulling out.  RBIbetical Order is a great idea too...

PS - Put a message on your talk page about using the move function...s

It's not much, but it's a start:

G-Funk, I just read your description of the "Doodlebop Incident".  I was kinda hoping your link "his beloved Chicago Cubs sucked worse than a dead French whore" was going to lead to an actual picture of a dead French whore.

Pics can always be added by anyone, case in point:

As I do more, I'm starting to worry about naming convetion/duplication.  If you thing there is a better name for one of my pages go ahead and change it.

Also if I duplicate something already done (I think I just did this with my ratings explanation) I guess we can worry about this later, and just delete what we don't need?

I noticed that there are a few forum members that have their own page or whatever but cannot be found at the Forum Members page. I tried to add Ryno to the page but I kept fucking something up.

Exactly, we'd always rather have too much data than too little.  some of your ratings stuff overlaps, but we can use your pitcher ratings for example.  What we can do is copy/past most of the pitcher stuff since they don't have pages yet.  Everything can be used, keep on posting!

PS - For your pitcher speeds table (great page BTW) you might want to edit one of the teams page or fightonusc overall player rankings page to see how they did it and make a table.  That's the beauty of wiki, you can look how other people organized the data and use it on your own pages...

You need to add a [[Category:Category Name]] tag at the very bottom of the article.  You want to make sure Category name is the same as a previous category, including capitals and the like.  You can find the Categories so far on this page:

http://dee-nee.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Categories

You can also make your own category.  Say for Ryno you want to make a new category, you can do:

[[Category:Doodlebop Fans]]

And save the page.  The first time you click on the category, it'll take you to a blank page to write a description.  Save and that's it!

Does all this make sense?

OK thanks

Well, forget the new Categories.  Add

[[Category:Forum Members]]

to the end of Ryno's page and it'll put him in there...

I'm quite tempted to do it now.  But I can't find the picture I want (from the SNL 'Old French Whore!' skit), but I'll have to make do.

EDIT: Feh.  Close enough for government work...

Holy crap, that looks time intensive.

I created an account but was a little overwhelmed by the interface. I was having trouble posting my microsoft paint drawings last night so I think I'll just steer clear but it looks like alot of fun. I only wish I were clever with these new fangled computers.

[Gantry]

Just give it a shot, easier than you think.  Just type an article (or edit a previous one) and type away like it's a forum post . Don't worry about the fancy stuff yet, just add text.  Someone else can make it bold or whatever, content is the most important thing...

[BDawk]

I feel kinda stupid. I can see where it wants me to edit a post, but how do I start a new one?

[Gantry]

Search for a term and if there is no page, it'll ask you to create a new article....
