The Lounge / A language issue

« on: November 19, 2010, 06:03:31 AM »

Hello everybody. I'm having a big dilemma right now. Medapedia is going to be a bilingual wiki, this means, in english and spanish. However, I need to deal with the search system. I have a multilanguage manager that shows a "language" tab on every article, letting the user search for a translation. This is not enough as it needs extra clicks. I want to use Polyglot for automatic redirects depending on the user's browser language (yet they can visit the other article using the tab). But...

-What about articles with different names in spanish? Say, Medarotch and Medarreloj? (Both referencing the same thing)
-What about other kinds of searches, like Parts names? (Revolver, one of Metabee's arms)

What are your suggestions regarding languages? Thank you beforehand!

The Lounge / Medabots Wiki - We need help!

« on: October 15, 2010, 06:29:49 PM »

Hello everyone. I am SoujiroElric, one of the two admins of Medabots Wiki, and the admin of its spanish version, Medapedia: medabots.wikia.com and es.medabots.wikia.com. We have noticed that Wikia wants to make a new layout, a layout we as admins disagree entirely (and not counting the RTE that screws with the page formatting), so one of our options is to move somewhere else, and maybe have our own host. I don't come here looking to be an affiliate of NIWA or something, hence why I post this here, but instead I come here to look for some directions and suggestions since we're really unsure on what would be our best moves, and I figured this was the best place to look for help.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much.

EDIT: The wiki has been created! www.medapedia.net
