== Main Page test ==
== Proposals ==
Since the main page is locked from spam, maybe we could try putting things in templates to hide them from the bots. We'll be needing to add the new town soon(ish) so I've made the town list into a template first.
 
==  whiteSortArrows ==
 
think we need ur magic to link these guys:
{| style="background-color:royalblue; margin-right:15px; text-align:center;"
| [[Image:Sort up white.gif]] [[File:Sort down white.gif]] [[File:Sort both white.gif]]
|}
to the class="sortable whiteSortArrows" again.
 
(example of how its not working for the moment: [[Template:Creature table]])
 
: [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] needs to be fixed because the way the site links stuff is different now.
: You need special privileges to edit that page. I think Terra is currently the only one who can.
: Replace what is currently there with this:
<pre>
table.whiteSortArrows.jquery-tablesorter th.headerSortUp{
    background-image: url(https://heroes.thelazy.net/images/8/82/Sort_up_white.gif) !important;
}
table.whiteSortArrows.jquery-tablesorter th.headerSortDown{
    background-image: url(https://heroes.thelazy.net/images/5/56/Sort_down_white.gif) !important;
}
table.whiteSortArrows.jquery-tablesorter th.headerSort{
    background-image: url(https://heroes.thelazy.net/images/3/36/Sort_both_white.gif);
}
</pre>
:: Another option is to add it to all the specific skin css pages:
:: MediaWiki:Vector.css
:: MediaWiki:Monobook.css
:: MediaWiki:Timeless.css
 
::: (Just wanted to note this was fixed some time ago.)
 
== Discord ==
 
Was thinking of having a more interactive channel than this page that I forget to check often enough, set up a discord channel at https://discord.gg/4XuzYKx - any interest?

== Main Page ==
 
Would you mind updating the main page with my [[User:imahero/Proposals/Conservative Main Page|proposal]] again?
<br>--[[user:imahero|imahero]] 15:13, 9 January 2018 (CET)
 
:For what my opinion is worth, I do not think that these unofficial towns are necessary for this wiki. Personally I would like that we would concentrate on the original {{homm}} {{roe}} and the official expansion {{ab}} and {{sod}}. I believe [[User:Ibraesil|Ibraesil]] feels about the same. –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 13:54, 11 January 2018 (CET)
 
:: Which do you prefer [[User:Terra|Terra]]? The [[User:imahero/Proposals/Conservative Main Page|proposal with unofficial towns]] or the [[User:imahero/Proposals/Purist Main Page|one without]]? How about [[User:imahero/Proposals/Cove Main Page|one with only Cove]]? This is what I would personally choose. Also what is your opinion on having [[Cove]] in the sidebars throughout the site? I believe that {{hota}} is a worthy successor to {{sod}}.
:: --[[user:imahero|imahero]] 16:35, 11 January 2018 (CET)
 
::: Well I kinda like the one with all of them, makes people curious and start exploring. I don't know the current state of WoG tho, if that's buggy / substandard it might be best to leave it out from the list. But if that's still good I prefer the one with all :) Lets us have a space for potential other ones in the future. Also, considering unlocking the front page. We generally don't have much vandalism these days
::: --[[User:Terra|Terrasque]] ([[User talk:Terra|talk]]) 20:26, 11 January 2018 (CET)
 
:::: Awesome! So you're OK with [[Cove]] on the sidebars throughout the site? It greatly increases usability of the site for those of us playing with HotA and I honestly don't think it should impact those playing SoD (in the same way those playing RoE wouldn't really be affected by having a [[Conflux]] link for those playing AB or SoD).
:::: --[[user:imahero|imahero]] 20:28, 11 January 2018 (CET)
 
:::::I am not entirely aware what [[user:imahero|imahero's]] intentions are, but as I understood it he/she wishes to mix fanbased mod information with the original data. [[user:imahero|imahero]], am I correct? To me this seems illogical and confusing for everyone, because where do we draw the line after that. How do we separate what information is worthy and what is unworthy to add to this wiki? Now the "rules" are clear, the main wiki contains information only from the official game and perhaps a few anekdotes around it. And if we crosslink these different information sources then it quickly becomes unclear what features are available in each different version of the game and all its mods. In summary, my biggest fear is, that the wiki becomes a web of pointless information about some nonsense mods. –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 06:15, 12 January 2018 (CET) 
 
:::::: Nah. Like I said before. Just links to [[Cove]] in the sidebar to increase usability for those of us playing with HotA. No other mod comes anywhere close to the level of HotA.
:::::: --[[user:imahero|imahero]] 06:34, 12 January 2018 (CET)
 
:::::::Because you develop it? ;) I admit that I am not too familiar with HotA, but to me it seems difficult to draw a line between different mods. Next week some a new user comes along and starts to write about WoG or some other. I just think there are other places and platforms to deal with these mods than this wiki. –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 07:25, 12 January 2018 (CET)
 
:::::::: Haha. No.
:::::::: I don't think a link back to [[Cove]] is asking too much. Some people ban [[Conflux]]. Should we remove it from the sidebar too? [[Horn of the Abyss]] does more for the game than both of the two official expansions combined.
:::::::: --[[user:imahero|imahero]] 07:30, 12 January 2018 (CET)
 
::::::::: We should have information on noteworthy unofficial stuff - noteworthy being somewhat subjective - but it should be clearly marked and separated from information about the official game. So on it's own pages, not mixed into pages about official information. "Official" pages can hold references to it, as long as it's marked as unofficial content and it makes sense to link to it. Also, we should try not to play favorites :) So for sidebar, if it's in it's own "Unofficial" section and also refers to WoG one.
::::::::: The reason I want noteworthy / good unofficial addons listed is because they add significantly to the game, and active players / fans should know that they exist and what they are. But at the same time clearly have them separate from the official game.
::::::::: --[[User:Terra|Terrasque]] ([[User talk:Terra|talk]]) 08:30, 12 January 2018 (CET)
 
:::::::::: Awesome! So you're going to [[User:imahero/Proposals/Conservative Main Page|update the main page]] right? Or are you going to set it as unprotected?

::: Have you given this any further thought? Are there any additional changes you'd like me to make to it?
::: --[[user:imahero|imahero]] 00:42, 23 November 2016 (CET)
:::: Ah damn.. Sorry, thought I had replied here. I see it's simpler, but I don't see it being better than what's now. The current page immediately let you jump to something central and familiar - the towns, and lets you explore the wiki from there. I think that's a great start spot if you're not already looking for something specific. And having things like the Forge there directly is an eye catcher and prods people's curiosity. Maybe someone realize they don't know quite as much as they thought about the game, and start reading. There might be things to improve on the front page, but I think those belong there and have a purpose.
:::: --[[User:Terra|Terrasque]] 22:19, 25 November 2016 (CET)
::::: OK. I've adjusted the proposal according to your guidance. I've only fixed links and made things more consistent rather than removing anything. Is it ready now, or are there any other changes I need to make?

:It looks like the same guy also made an account: [[User:KarineHornung|KarineHornung]]. This account created another article in the same style like the other ones. --[[User:Fire Paladin|Fire Paladin]] ([[User talk:Fire Paladin|talk]]) 11:14, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

:::As more of a side note, I think you can let new pages be created only by logged users or let them be verified by admins first; just like in english Wikipedia (where you have to wait for admins to publish the certain page), since both this site and Wikipedia use MediaWiki.

* (bug T74222) The original patch for T74222 was reverted as unnecessary.
* (bugs 66776, 71478) SECURITY: User PleaseStand reported a way to inject code into API clients that used format=php to process pages that underwent flash policy mangling. This was fixed along with improving how the mangling was done for format=json, and allowing sites to disable the mangling using $wgMangleFlashPolicy.
* (bug 70901) SECURITY: User Jackmcbarn reported that the ability to update the content model for a page could allow an unprivileged attacker to edit another user's common.js under certain circumstances. The user right "editcontentmodel" was added, and is needed to change a revision's content model.
* (bug 71111) SECURITY: User PleaseStand reported that on wikis that allow raw HTML, it is not safe to preview wikitext coming from an untrusted source such as a cross-site request. Thus add an edit token to the form, and when raw HTML is allowed, ensure the token is provided before showing the preview. This check is not performed on wikis that both allow raw HTML and anonymous editing, since there are easier ways to exploit that scenario.
* (bug 72222) SECURITY: Do not show log action when the entry is revdeleted with DELETED_ACTION. NOTICE: this may be reverted in a future release pending a public RFC about the desired functionality. This issue was reported by user Bawolff.
