I was just wondering how to shut off a bot on the wiki. | I was just wondering how to shut off a bot on the wiki. [[User:Sausagea1000|Sausagea1000]] ([[User talk:Sausagea1000|talk]]) 13:49, 18 February 2018 (UTC) (time edited) | ||

== | == Hi all , I'm new here == | ||
Hi all, I'm very new (like I just made my account a few minutes ago new), and I have no idea how to edit pages and need some help. | |||
first thing I would do is link some of the images I've uploaded (character cards from the Portal: The Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Game) to their respective pages (especially the party escort bot since the art on it is pretty interesting). as well as generally making the board game page way better. some one get back to me please. in the meantime I'll upload the rest of the game cards. -Stickyy | |||
EDIT: is this wiki even active? | |||

: Hey there. To answer the last question first, not a whole lot. As you can see, there are some people still here, myself included. There's just not a whole lot in the Portal community to write about these days, so people tend not to. Moondust hasn't been touched really (and I can't because I can't do VR on my setup), and [[The Lab]] is unfinished. It's a very casual place now, as far as pacing goes, but we are still in partnership with the TF2 Wiki, are on their server, and have most of their staff on our staff (as inactive as they may be here), so we must maintain a high level of quality despite the slowness and our unofficial status. As far as uploading all of those pictures, good job! I agree that the Associate art is interesting, as well as the Henry card since it's an actual model instead of just a comic picture. | |||
As for the initial question, I'll post it onto your discussion page since ''this'' page is intended for discussion of the Wiki itself. [[User:Sven|Sven Cakemann]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 23:36, 27 August 2018 (UTC) | |||
== Add more articles == | |||
I have noticed the Combine OverWiki has substantially more articles than us, and the [https://half-life.fandom.com Half Life Fandom] Wiki has more articles too, and the [[User:Sven/The Bird| Bird]] {{Tooltip|should be|ask User:Sven first!}} in the main article line. | |||

Well i´m trying to increse the number of articles | |||

== It's silent here... == | |||
Even with the pandemic, the wiki is still very dull. Active contributors are just [[User:Headquarter8302|me]], [[User:Thedoczek]], [[User:Sven]] and some image uploaders. [[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter8302]] ([[User talk:Headquarter8302|talk]]) 00:06, 10 August 2020 (UTC) | |||
:Aside from the few updates that happen with Portal 2, there's not really a lot going on in the community. There's no shortage of stuff to 'do', but there's just a lack of enthusiasm due to the lack of new official content. It'll pick back up at some point. [[User:Sven|Sven Cakemann]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 00:27, 10 August 2020 (UTC) | |||
== Licensing Guide == | |||
Combine Overwiki use BY-SA 4.0, we used CC-BY 3.0, and the Half-life Fandom wiki used Generic CC-BY-SA 2.0 | |||
As far as i know: | |||
'''BY-SA 4.0 is Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International''' is the license used by the Overwiki (the license is copied through the text and knowledge base, appropriate credit is required to transfer the knowledge) | |||
'''CC-BY 3.0 is Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC-BY 3.0)''' is just a share-alike attribution, the weakest and most indisputable license (basically the license only carried through the text and knowledge base) | |||
'''Generic CC-BY-SA 2.0''' | |||
{{Quotation|'''Fandom'''|To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users editing or otherwise contributing to wikis that use the <u>CC BY-SA license agree to grant broad permissions to the general public to re-distribute and re-use their contributions freely for any purpose, including commercial use</u>, '''in accordance with the CC BY-SA license.''' Such use is allowed where attribution is given and the same freedom to re-use and re-distribute applies to any derivative works of the contributions.}} | |||
Fandom used this license, the most basic license you'll ever get. | |||
'''<u>IMPORTANT!</u>''' | |||
We cannot copy from Overwiki, but they can copy from us. We ''CAN'' copy from the Fandom base wikis but uses the Generic license which is kinda frustrating to comprehence. | |||
Sooo.... People, you now understand the basic licenses? - [[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter8302]] ([[User talk:Headquarter8302|talk]]) 05:04, 19 August 2020 (UTC) | |||
:I added a note about this [[Portal Wiki:About#Licensing|here]]. I don't think content can be copied from Fandom wikis, as they have the same ShareAlike clause as the Combine Overwiki does... — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 04:08, 25 August 2020 (UTC) | |||
::About the Fandom license, we CAN copy from them as long we state that it was taken from Fandom and state what kind of license the original text was (Like: This page/text/etc. has been taken/copied/referenced from Fandom wiki <nowiki>[The wiki]</nowiki> under the license Generic CC-BY-SA 2.0) Like in Wikipedia | |||

== An extension is deprecated, should we change it? == | |||
Since I'm not handling with articles anymore, I will take care of maintenance. And just like charm, when I'm sneaking through the [[Special:Version]] article, I've noticed that GeeQuBox extension (image preview thingy) is deprecated (as evidenced by the [[MW:Extension:GeeQuBox|archival page on MediaWiki]]). Should we change it to the more later version? It has fixes from the original GeeQu. | |||

Why's there that sketchy link in the Portal 2 section of the side bar? Just seems to send you to illegal movie streaming sites. - '''[[User:EktoHunter|EktoHunter]]''' | |||

==Weird Accounts== | |||
Hello. What these weird accounts that are creating profile pages or random articles are? Are they bots or something? When i'm going to check my recent changes they're always there. [[User:Quantum|Quantum]] ([[User talk:Quantum|talk]]) 14:14, 26 August 2021 (UTC) | |||
:Yes, they're spam accounts.

== Notability policy on mods and fan content == | |||
We have a guideline on Community Content [[Help:Style guide/Community content|here]], but we don't state how much popular or downloaded the content should be, until we could legitimately document it.

: It is safe to assume that mods released on Steam, as standalone apps, are supposed to be covered. | |||
: As for non-Steam mods, anything that introduces a great gimmick-something that hasn't been done before in a base Portal game, is generally discussed among the community and has people showcasing it (let's play, forum threads, etc) reinforces its notability. — [[User:Tark|<span style="font-weight:bold;color: #5BC236">Tark</span>]] 14:47, 30 August 2021 (UTC) | |||

== Hello == | |||
Hello. I recently joined the portal wiki in order to create more articles in Japanese. I would like to translate the voice lines of each character, but I don't know how to reflect "Template:Dictionary/voice lines/---" in my articles. Is there any way to do this other than copying and pasting each one on my own? Can someone please tell me how to do that? | |||
（Was it okay to post my question here? If not, I'm sorry.）[[User:Kotetsu|Kotetsu]] ([[User talk:Kotetsu|talk]]) 02:55, 30 November 2021 (UTC) | |||
: Hi! Thank you for your hard work! | |||
: You can use the following template: {{tlx|Voice line|character name|dictionary key}} | |||
:: Example: {{tlx|Voice line|GLaDOS|01 part1 get portal gun-1}} generates ''やりましたね!Aperture Science 携帯ポータル装置を手に入れました。'' | |||

== Asked about the "Portal: TFV mappack" == | |||

== The Wiki has been Hacked == | |||
I have recently went on to this wiki to look at Wheatley's character page. It turns out that that page and several others had been changed by someone who doesn't seem to have an account anymore, and they took out '''ALL''' information on these pages and replaced them with random messages. To anyone in charge: Please fix this. I just wanted to find some knowledge and I was met with nonsensical messages, and as someone who looks at this wiki a LOT, it would be appreciated if the original pages could be restored if possible. Thank you if anyone indeed listens to this. - Sincerely, AJSloth707 (April 15th, 2023) | |||
