All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part VII

[GethN7]

Not sure if anyone's noticed, but we upgraded both of the mediawiki servers to add a second CPU core two days ago. Things seem to be working a little bit faster for me, anyway.

Costs have gone up accordingly, by $3 a month. If one person reading this donates $3, our fundraiser will be over.

Is that $3 increase just for ATT or for Miraheze as a whole? (Since poserdazfreebies appears to be in the top five Miraheze wikis by pagecount, my pro-rated share might be twice as much as everyone else's. )

Speaking of poserdazfreebies, how difficult is it to set up a couple of new namespaces there? I want to start "Forum:" (because discussions about the wiki are scattered throughout various Talk: pages) and "Gallery:" (because the topic is primarily a visual one) - is this something I can do, or do I need to catch a steward's attention?

Well Rob, here's your options for a forum:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DPLforum

Use this extension to add a forum namespace and rip off what we did on ATT.

OR

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiForum

I explained how this works earlier in this thread.

Both are viable for your forum.

As for a Gallery, that can be easily added if you file a request for it alongside your pick for a forum.
