Least voted on skips.
Least voted on tales.

(We should probably split a "least voted" page into skips and tales, if possible)

• This means anyone wanting night mode needs to download and install a userscript to their browser.
• They need to be able to run userscripts in the first place. IE is out for example, and support for Greasemonkey userscripts is not guaranteed on other browser/OS combinations. FiftyNine may be able to provide Chrome support, but even then it's by no means something everyone can run.
• There's a slight delay when loading pages, because the script needs to read a cookie, and add a style element to the page's head section.

(As in lowest number of total votes)

Speaking to FiftyNine might prove helpful about some of these ideas, by the way.

I'd really like a night mode option.

You can already do this with Alexandra.

And also this nifty thing Crayne made for the site! http://www.scp-wiki.net/tag-search

• Neutral voting would be excellent.
• What kaktus said about staff permissions. Our current system is just silly.
• Controversial, but I'd prefer if comments have voting in place, like Reddit. Downvoting a comment is a lot better than a) having people respond to poor comments with their own poor comments, or b) having said poor comments go relatively unnoticed because they're not bad enough to warrant staff attention, but they aren't good either. Self-moderation is the idea.
• A "report this comment" feature.
• An automated staffbot. Maybe make an account with admin privileges that can ban/unban people on a timer, clean the main SCP listing of deleted articles, and (in line with the above request) notify staff after a comment has reached a certain number of reports. Let's request another API key.

MORE FEASIBLE REQUESTS:

• A generalized staff report button that can message a particular team, or perhaps staff in general.
• Social media sharing things, for Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Google Plus (I guess?), and Tumblr.
• A method of searching tales that doesn't require it to be amazing within its first sentence, or by an author that you know.
• Riemann's request for rewrite notifications.
• A more easily digestible format for letting the site know what staff is doing, so it's not just "those mysterious people who appear and ban people." Maybe a newsletter, a blog, or something of the sort.

Something that lets you search multiple tags at once would also be good - supposing someone wants to see all the memetic doges, they shouldn't have to compare the memetic and canine tags; that's very bad, so difficult, many tabs, much irritation.

You can already do this with Alexandra. Simply type in .tag (tag 1) (tag 2) (tag n) and you'll get a list of articles with all of those tags.

Regular and reliable site backups.

FWIW, I'm doing those now, twice a month, mainsite, 05, and WL. They are of limited usability right now, because wikidot doesn't have any way to restore a site if something goes wrong, but if we ever get a site of our own, I have all¹ the data backed up.

Oh yeah, and data-mining. Freely available stats on articles, votes, comments, failed attempts, and whatever else one can think of. Like, if someone wanted to see how many votes an article got in a given timeframe, one should be able to get that data without having to get a mod or admin.

This basically boils down to vote timestamps and deletions going back to the sandbox instead of disappearing into the void. Every possible stat I've thought of or have been asked about is either can be calculated right now, or is some derivative of those two. Ok, maybe page view-count as well, that'd be nice too.

An administrative UI that can be browsed/sorted/searched.

Regular and reliable site backups.

More granular control on member permissions, including the ability to set up custom sets of permissions.

The ability to manually assign an author or set of authors to an article.

Also, an integrated O5 would be great. Preferably one titled "O5", and not "05".

Working on a custom domain name for you too.

However, I am willing to put this up to a staff vote to see if the prevailing opinion is to include them.

Renaming every single skip to include their mainlist name as part of the title would take like an hour.

I would rather not go that route on this iteration of the wiki. We wouldn't break any links if done properly but it's doable in the next generation of the wiki, i.e., a 'slug' field where the short name goes, and the list is updated automatically and the ability to put the slug in the title on page load, able to be enabled/disabled at the reader's discretion.

Finding a way to incorporate the mainlist nicknames into the pages, even across the browser tab or something.

Is that something people would like? I know I would like that, because I tend to open a bunch of skips at once, leave for a while, then come back and have to check each tab to find the one I want. But I was under the impression that the prevalent opinion was "Mainlist names are not canonical and thus shouldn't appear on the page itself."

Renaming every single skip to include their mainlist name as part of the title would take like an hour.

Having a way to denote staff members in their posts, as well as their position and maybe domains, but that last one might encourage people to not listen to like, IO when it comes to crit or something idk.

having a way to actually lock individual convo chains in threads.

Getting the standard volley of like/favorite/share across social media buttons for different pages.

Locking pages so staff and authors are the only ones who can edit them and having a "contact the author/staff with suggested edits" button, with a staff slush pile that we can access to see what needs to be done.

Finding a way to incorporate the mainlist nicknames into the pages, even across the browser tab or something.

Something like tldr.scp-wiki.net is feasible on its face, along the lines of http://www.explainxkcd.com/ is what comes to mind.

This is a pretty unpopular request, but it's something I see a basis for on the site, reddit, tumblr, IRC, something I experience myself a lot reading the site, and I think it's something kaktus brought up once on his Kaktuskast (and something I spoke about to him way back when): a very short kind of summary of the article somewhere (I wouldn't know where). I admit, I'm pretty slow to pick up on articles, and it seems like even the simple stuff is incredibly difficult to pick up on, whereas some difficult ones are apparently easy? It seems like the case, given how many times I've seen someone on the forums or somewhere else ask "I don't get it, can someone explain it?". I know there's the whole "GOD, WHY ARE YOU ON A READING SITE IF YOU DON'T WANNA READ" thing, but I think it's a viable idea, even if it shouldn't be high on a priority list.

Probably another pipedream; find a way to pimp out Wanderer's Library on the main site more. Just saying………

Better sandbox integration. Post drafts from sandbox to mainsite in a single click. Articles voted to deletion automatically go back to the author's sandbox.

One step further than this even; make it mandatory for the user to have a sandbox prior to posting something. When a user signs up, before posting, they link a sandbox (or sandboxes, if they have more than one like I do) and when they get ready to post, they can post from sandbox to mainsite after going through something like the _404 screen we have now prior to posting.

Also, an integrated O5 would be great. Preferably one titled "O5", and not "05".

I actually like the 05 thing of the site. It differentiates from the actual O5 council! Also, zeroes look nice.

It would be nice to be able to set custom permissions, save them as a "group", and then put users in that group. That way, certain users could have certain permissions based on their team, captains could have additional permissions, admins would be able to delegate permissions, etc.

Also, an integrated O5 would be great. Preferably one titled "O5", and not "05".

• Neutral voting.
• Vote timestamps. Previous votes by the same user aren't deleted but are merely marked as inactive.
• When looking at a page's revision history, it shows how the rating changed between each revision, as a simple signed number. Pretty useless for minor typo revisions, but could be very cool for rewrites.
• Comment ratings.
• Comment threads in general should work pretty much exactly how they do at Reddit. Reddit does this one little thing flawlessly in my opinion. So, that means the ability to collapse subthreads and sort stuff however you like, with top comments first by default.
• Mods should be able to sticky comments. Authors should be able to sticky comments on their own articles.
• Sane authorship/ownership system that isn't a clusterfuck.
• Individual entries in open collaboration logs should have their own rating and their author tracked. Entries falling beneath a preset threshold (e.g. -10) are automatically hidden/deleted. Automation is important, because voting to delete every single bit wouldn't be feasible in my opinion.
• Better sandbox integration. Post drafts from sandbox to mainsite in a single click. Articles voted to deletion automatically go back to the author's sandbox.
• More and better stats for everything. This is the only one here that's actually possible, far as I know, and I'm slooooooooowly working on it. Slowly.

I think I had more, but can't remember off-hand. I'll edit to add if/when I remember them.

This is how we've been able to best implement previous/next buttons on the site.

Starforge

Is that what they're calling it now?

Either on the site

To clarify; do you mean the Wikidot site, or a potential future site outside of Wikidot?

Nothing's off the table for this thread

I want the site to make money come out of my CD drive

For real though, I think people might be able to make better use of the site if we could implement a next (and previous) SCP button.
I'm not sure of how to do a similar thing for tales.

Something that lets you search multiple tags at once would also be good - supposing someone wants to see all the memetic doges, they shouldn't have to compare the memetic and canine tags; that's very bad, so difficult, many tabs, much irritation.

EDIT: Basically, what I'm saying here is "moar wikiwalking pls"
Joining the site has been compared to pissing glass before, we should make reading it as urinary-tract-glass-free as possible.
