I thought it was high-time to introduce myself, and start the ball rolling regarding the technical issues that Fanlore has and some technical changes we would like to attempt. And, ah, after my experiment with the namespace implementation, we realised we needed to talk more thoroughly with the users of Fanlore.
So, I'm Amy, and I'm a new Fanlore staffer who was recruited to help fix some bugs and start implementing new technical functionality. Hi! Before I was a Fanlore staffer, I was a staffer on the now defunct Documentation team, and I also volunteer for Support, AD&T, and Tag Wrangling.
In good news, I have fixed what we called the TOC bug, where people not using the WordPress skin had a table of contents sprawled across the page. \o/
I've also been asked to look at implementing what are called namespaces for languages other than English on the wiki, and after the watchful gardeners got a bit confused at my experiment with one page, it was clear that we had to ask the Fanlore users about how they would like to structure pages written in other languages. English is the default language for Fanlore, but we definitely welcome translations and other pages written in other languages! This post is for just that -- how can we make pages in languages other than English accessible and translatable for the general Fanlore community? Are you happy with the status quo? Or, if not (and we'd love to hear why not), do you have ideas on how it could be improved?
