Revision as of 19:40, 10 May 2010

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Main Page article.
This is not a forum for general discussion about the article's subject.

  • Assume good faith.
  • Be welcoming.
  • No personal attacks.

Codes

There's codes. Were supposed to solvve them. Then we go down the rabbit hole. Blee =p

Manson revealed in an interview with The Hierophant that the codes weren't his intention, so they really led nowhere. Rtiztik 06:42, 24 May 2007 (CEST)

Copypasta?

Why is most of the articles here just copypasta jobs from wikipedia? Deathwish 05:09, 7 March 2007 (CET)

If we are just going to copy from Wikipedia...can people at least get rid of the links to issues not related to Manson? seriously, we have links to things like 'John F Kennedy' in some pages...its as simple as getting rid of the [[]] :P Deathwish 04:28, 13 March 2007 (CET)

I'm trying to do just that. Since I joined in March 2007 I've been heavily updating articles, only to leave links related to Manson, for me or anyone else to create later on. I've also noticed a lot of the articles are directely copied from Wikipedia, and I can see why; it is a start. But since Wikipedia is general and MansonWiki pertains entirely to intricate information on Marilyn Manson, it is possible to expand further on articles here than you would on Wikipedia, which is another thing I've been doing, including adding articles for all of Marilyn Manson's songs which, on Wikipedia would be unnecessary. I've spent so much work on this site in my spare time, it's crazy! I wish I could be rewarded with some form of admin authority, but what can you do? Anyways it's a great site and I just wanted to say at least one person is trying to resolve implicant copypasta. Rtiztik 06:42, 24 May 2007 (CEST)

Try crediting your sources aswell, I view many pages with info but where did it come from, you must of got it from somewhere!

Plagiarism is plagiarism.

I think we have enough talented writers on this site to go through and rewrite some of the major articles. I also think more attention should be paid to sources. [god]speed 01:24, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Background Image

Does anyone know how to add a background. I'm sure only Litso could do it, but it looks dull with the default skin. Scicks 07:45, 31 March 2007 (CEST)

Editing the Main Page

Some jokers keep messing up the main page. It should probably be locked or people should be forced to sign up.
Either way, porn pics were put up and even the whole Main Page was erased. I'd lock it myself, but maybe I need to be an 'admin' or else I would.

Well we tend to straight up ban spammers and people that edit in clearly bad-faith, followed by a page revert. It doesn't happen too often but when it does there's consequences. But alright I'll lock it. Windstorm 02:21, 19 August 2007 (CEST)

To be honest I'm not too fond of locking pages, actually if people want to add/edit something on the frontpage they're welcome to as long as it's not lemonparties, lol. I was at a festival the past few days, but I've banned the sucker and I unlocked the front page again. Maybe I'll lock it when this starts to happen more often, but I don't guess that'll be soon. Thanks for restoring and locking it in my absence though! Litso 18:39, 20 August 2007 (CEST)

Since the current logo takes too much vertical space, resulting in having to scroll down to read anything at all, the Manson Wiki is looking for a new logo. The requirements are:

  • Max. 300 pixels high
  • Max. 500 pixels wide
  • Must contain the text "The Marilyn Manson wiki"
  • Must contain a recent image of Marilyn Manson (i.e. from the Eat Me, Drink Me era)

If needed the font that was used for the current logo can be provided, just contact me, but another font could be fine as well. Please send your designs to Mail.JPG, as well as your name (including optional email address or website you want it to link to) so we can give the due credits. Litso 13:04, 15 January 2008 (CET)

The contest is over. Thanks for your contributions everyone! Litso 14:51, 4 February 2008 (CET)

I think a new logo should be uploaded because it is now the end of 2009 and the end of the ETCetera world tour, almost. ithink a HEOL logo should be uploaded. Consequently everytime a new album/ era begins, a new logo should be uploaded --SPECTRE-01 16:41, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I completely agree with you, Spectre. The tour is almost over, and the logo is too old for the era. I think such important design and the face change must be clarified by Vixen Windstorm or Litso. (scarshock 20:07, 22 November 2009 (UTC))
  • upoload a new logo,ASAP. The HEOL Era is ending soon.... if this change needs to ber clarified , then do so soon --SPECTRE-01 17:04, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Live show setlists

Hello All,

If interested I have an excel spreadsheet of nearly all the tour dates from 1994 to 2003. While that in and of itself is not too exciting, in it I have also compiled recording sources and set lists for well over 2/3 of the shows (probably closer to 5/6 from the ACS tour onward). This has been a work in progress for me since '97. It also includes most of the canceled tour dates with "official" reasons for cancellation and information regarding some of Manson's guest appearances with other bands.

While I don't have time to create articles for most of these shows myself, I would be happy to forward the file on to anyone who would like to take the time with it. Drop me an email at Acc123456@yahoo.com for a copy of the file....

Much thanks for the file. Windstorm 22:13, 26 January 2008 (CET)


Request

I have request. Why this page is only english? It may be the page on other languages.

Other languages could be a project to take up later on, but right now MansonWiki is only written in English. I can only speak English, but the other administrator here is actually Dutch, and on the forums we often get visits from users of whom English isn't their dominant language. So maybe in the future there'll be different languages, but right now we're already working on enough upgrades, so I can't see other languages being implemented in the near future. Alden Weston 19:37, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Generic Praise

I really wanna say that I'm blown away by the amount of content on the Wiki. The revisions have made everything look even neater and more professional and it gets better by the day. Shit, if I didn't know any better, I would say this was a site that was paid for by Interscope :P. Again, kick ass wiki, and here's to a (hopefully good) new album! ETPC 20:50, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

I saw you on the YouTube channel earlier too; just wanted to say thanks for your appreciation! :) Alden Weston 02:49, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

I found another 15.

In my listening to the old albums (getting ready for the new album) I found that there are 51 total tracks in the triptych. 51 is a reverse 15, as the story is in reverse chronological order. I have added this to the list of 15's and added a trivia of it to the triptych page.

Signed, The Saint of Stain. 68.62.91.122 12:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Another 15 would be if you counted all of Manson's digits after losing his arm in the "I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)" music video. :D

The Slip

Why are we letting the news section of the wiki slip? It hasn't been updated in atleast 3 weeks ;)

Quotes

Why is there no section of these? (As far as I know, atleast.) I think it'd be fun to devote a section to humorous quotes, etc.


BPMS FOR SONGS

Proposed

That thing in the news about it being a rumor that he proposed to Evan is true I think. There is a pic on his myspace in the "my photogropornography" album of what I believe is Evan's hand with an engagement ring on it. Ron Zombie 18:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

New Image is Too Big

The new main page image (MWLOGOSIZE.png‎) is too big and causes the page to stretch out horizontally. I'd resize myself but apparently only an admin can do it.

I've been against having pictures in the header of the wiki's main page from the very beginning (and I've essentially been here from the very beginning), but putting these up as logos has been the idea of other admins (Litso wanted the previous one up to coincide with Valentine's Day 2008 and I logged onto MansonWiki this morning to find that Godspeed had replaced it). The way the website is laid out right now (it being a wiki and everything) these pictures stick out like a sore thumb, that's why I liked the simpler approach of just not including them, not until the site is rewritten and takes a step away from the appearance of a typical wiki anyway. I come from a much bigger wiki background as the other administrators of this site so I don't know if the others know this, but when pictures are set to a specific size in the markup, it overides the default size of images as specified by users in their preferences. So people with different sized monitors and such can run into problems when the pictures on their screen aren't the size they expect them to be. I don't have a lot of freedom to take care of the problem right now, and either way my top suggestion would be to abolish the logo headers completely. I'd like to replace the background image with something more relevant to Manson though. Alden Weston talk forum profile 02:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
I agree about the image size being too big, and as Vixen said, it's not exactly subtle. I do like the image itself though, and I'm all for having a logo type image on the main page. The last one worked well, but this one clashes badly with the white background. I'd love to see the Wiki's color scheme undergo some changes to a more darker tone. It would suit it well, as well as some sort of background image like the NinWiki's. All they have are those black/blue bars going across the background, but it makes a huge difference. It gives it a unique feel.
Also, isn't it about time we change the heart logo? Perhaps we should have something more recent like the ($) symbol? Jarvis 02:53, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

i think it is important to keep the twisted heart logo as it, shows the era in which Mansonwiki was created, and shows its history --SPECTRE-01 18:57, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

though i believe the new "main logo" is terrible, it should be i the same style as the previous logo , but updated to a HEOL version( there are many different suggestions that have been created and are shown on the Masonwiki forum NewLogo --SPECTRE-01 18:57, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Redesign

Yes I agree the new image was too big, I was going to upload it on the developer section of the Wiki as a test run, but it seems it has since moved when we changed servers, I am hoping that soon Litso can go through and change the color of the scheme as I believe it has to be done with Media Wiki Software, and make the Wiki look flushed and clean, discard the typical white layout of the wiki. What do you guys think of this drop down menu? Drop Down Box Example

As far as the colour scheme, I agree.. Check the forum We I think it will be easier to discuss this there as I have photos et cetera of a mockup I did.

godspeed 04:18, 21 January 2010 (UTC)


Jen & I have completed a total mock up of the new design for the Wiki, I encourage everyone to check it out in the forum at the following link Thank You godspeed 07:56, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

looks Fabulous :D Very Good It would be good to try it out and see what users think, also a drop down menu would be a great addition --SPECTRE-01 19:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

MansonWiki Redesign 2.0

And On The Third Day...


After careful deliberation and planning Jen and I feel that we have created something that is truly groundbreaking for the future of MansonWiki.com, We feel that it incorporates the key elements of what The Wiki should contain and presents them in a fashionable manner, full of vitriol and venom. While maintaining a User-friendly infrastructure that is certain to leave the proverbial 'scar' on the minds of users both old and new, as well as establishing a brand for MANSONWIKI.

We hope that you guys like it, as we tried to incorporate all of the ideas that we were presented and design something that we can all be proud of... Here is the URL to the link in the forum Manson Wiki Design Idea V2.0[ god ]speed 10:29, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh my god I love this! If there is gonna be a vote on it, "I vote a million percent yes!" -- In the words of Randy Jackson. lol Ron Zombie 20:07, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Updgrade to 1.15.0

MansonWiki has updated it's software from version 1.13.0 to 1.15.0 today. Please report any problems that occur the next few days below. Litso 09:46, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

New Logo Design

The proposed design for the new MansonWiki logo can be viewed please let us know your opinion. ‡-me-‡ 07:57, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

THE CHOICE IS YOURS.... HURRY TIME IS.

Below are the two choices for the Default page of MANSONWIKI, The winner will be the layout for the main page, while the other will still be an option to use in your My Preferences Tab if you so wish. Jen and I have spent weeks designing something that would not only make MansonWiki users proud, But to bring MansonWiki to it's rightful position as the Largest Source for Marilyn Manson News. Feel Free to Leave comments either in this discussion page, or on the forum.


[ god ]speed 08:37, 7 February 2010 (UTC) ‡-me-‡ 08:39, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

i thought the website was to be relaunched on the 14th as a "gift" ??? --SPECTRE-01 19:55, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

That would have been nice, but nope. Soon, hopefully. Litso 14:48, 15 February 2010 (UTC)


Spectre,

You are absolutely right, Jen & I planned to have the site launched on Valentines Day, however due to unforeseen technical difficulties, it had to be delayed. Rest assured the design is completely finished and has been turned over to Litso, who will be programming. [god]speed 18:29, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

HELL, ETC. AS THE MAIN DISPLAY IMAGE?

Should we change the default image to the Hell, Etc. Banner?

Based on the fact that this is a major event, which is months away... And currently the biggest announcement of 2010 Do you guys think we should replace the main image of Manson on the couch with the banner for HELL, ETC.

I have come in close contact with the Director of the Exhibit, and have been speaking to him on a frequent basis over the past few days, He told me that Manson Wiki will be the first to know of any developments on the Exhibit, and has even promised to send us the first photo of the exhibit once it is set up! You guys will be glad to know that based on Google Analytics we set a new record for page views yesterday thanks to links to MansonWiki's article on the art exhibit on Babalon, Provider Module, Twitter, et cetera. So perhaps put this up to celebrate this and usher in the coming revamp which will more than likely be completed by the time the exhibit is over. [god]speed 01:51, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

I like it, do it. it would make the banner size conflict in the news template cease. NickSixx

Then We could put a picture of all the new paintings as the featured image In The News section[god]speed 01:56, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Yes, then we could also have more exposure to them and it would also make them easier to get to. I like the idea. NickSixx
Lagozzino do you like the changes to the main page? [god]speed 06:00, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Well I like the banner in and of itself, but its a tad too wide and stretching the page (or maybe that's just on my monitor?). But aside from that its cool. --Lagozzino 06:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up, I can change the size of it. I will do adjust it on my desktop, as my laptop is a widescreen. I like how it's set up to link directly to the article. We have began programming the new design [god]speed 06:10, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Love it!‡-me-‡ 10:29, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Main Page Image??

When the Hell, Etc gallery is over i've designed a possible main page picture and i'd love for it to be considered as the Main Page pictuuuuure.


MansonWikiMainPagePic.jpg


I am actually quite positive that the image have posted was created by former hierophant moderator j_absinthe, as a design for what he thought the EMDM album cover would look like. I don't believe we have or could get him to "ok" using his imagery for our site. Sorry man. [god]speed 21:32, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Even only just being a reguar user like myself, I'd prefer and think it'd be best to keep current pictures of Manson for the main header photo. Just a thought. NickSixx

if we could get the new design coded, a new diplay image wouldn't even be necessary.
So what is this Thing with coding, what does it involve, how is it relevant, You'll have to excuse me i know nothing of web HTML and other, all i know is basics et cetera. DavidGlyn 22:41, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Sitenotice

I am loving the new site notice i must say: PREPARE TO BE SCARED IT IS COMEING...<< sounds good, can't wait :) DavidGlyn 14:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I think it's too fucking big lol. The font is big and wirey, and people who are new to the website aren't going to have any idea "what" is coming. I think we should compromise sounding cool for a normal-sized sitenotice stating the redesign is coming. 206.108.166.14 (Windstorm) 15:31, 5 April 2010 (UTC)


  • Simply put... No... It will stay like that.

We have worked our asses on designing this, we have spent money to have someone code this, and it's time to get excited. those who don't know... Soon will. Let their curiosity intices them to figure out what is coming... We want it to hit them when they least expect it... And Leave a Scar.


[ g o d ] s p e e d

I agree Speed, I can't wait for the new design and im sure everyone agrees with me when i say thankyou. :) Dave

  • Oh man, I saw the "Prick your finger...it is coming..." thing and I thought it was something about his new CD. lol Grrrr, you guys got me excited. =] Ron Zombie 03:36, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
  • I loved that 'Prick your finger' message. Congrats on successfully building hype lol.

Special:Statistics

What's happened with this page? (http://www.mansonwiki.com/wiki/Special:Statistics) --M1shael 06:49, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

We mentioned it to Litso, and he didn't seem too worried about it : \ perhaps if someone else brought it to his attention he may look into it.

mail@litso.com. Out of curiousity what was on the statistics page? [god]speed 06:56, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Something like this (http://www.ninwiki.com/Special:Statistics), but looks like a table. --M1shael 07:10, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

MAIN PAGE

i was wondering if we should change the main page image perhaps, seeing as the exhibit may not be happening enymore, because Manson was suposed to be in greece yesterday i think?? thaughts? DavidGlyn 16:13, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Flights to Europe resumed slowly on April 19, so it really just depends on whether or not Manson has taken the plane out there or not. Alden Weston talk forum profile 16:17, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah i guess so. I guess we shall see what the outcome is in the next gew days Dave - Too lazy to login

Back to this, the exhibit is over now i think isn't it, so should we consider a new main page image, at least until the new design hits us. DavidGlyn 16:47, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

MAIN PAGE IMAGE

Myself and <me> were talking and i notified her of a signature i found of someones on Babalon, and i thaught instead of the hell etc one this one would be awsome for the main page, im going to contact the user to see what they think of us using it once we have a final verdict.

Mansonwikimainpageheader.png


DavidGlyn 11:34, 3 May 2010 (UTC)


When?

so do we have an exact date as to when the new Design will be splashed onto our MansonWiki pages?

Yes David... The date is SSOON ;) [god]speed 18:30, 22 February 2010 (UTC)


Yes but how soon Man :) User:DavidGlyn 20:33 25th of February 2010 (UTC)
The design is totally complete. Of course we all want it to happen soon, But for the moment, I am content with stating that the initial stages of Programming are well on their way and you can rest assured that within the next few months a total revamp will be implemented. [god]speed 23:43, 25 February 2010 (UTC)



If it was possible i think the new design should be reveald onto our screens in March, The Wikis birthday, that'd be a great idea, and you should do something special for the Wikis birthday. DavidGlyn 16:26, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

The Time Is Coming...

  • Start the countdown guys, the redesign is now only days away. In the mean time, if senior and regular editors would like to familiarize themselves with the FCKeditor which, as here, will be optional‡-me-‡ 06:04, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

lol i worked it out - 013150051310

took me 5 minutes but i got there in the end new site - 13th may 2010

D Applaude me plz, don't make fun of me

--SPECTRE-01 19:13, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Well dome, thats what i got too. DavidGlyn 19:40, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

FCKEditor

  • We will also be implementing a new "multi-upload" feature, We have tested the FCKEditor as well as Multiupload on the new site and both work wonders. As Jen suggested, take time now to familiarize yourselves with the FCKEditor, It is a really nice WYSIWYG Editor (what you see is what you get) and will be OPTIONAL to use, the original wiki editor is still available, it's as simple as clicking disable rich text editor on the page you are editing. We are extremely excited but we still have some things to work out with it. Special thanks to Antickon, Who also programmed Babalon/The Nacht, whom we couldn't have gotten this redesign up without his hard work and dedication. I hope you all are as excited as we are, because you guys all work your asses off and i can guarantee that you will all be proud of this site we have worked on for months. [god]speed 00:57, 5 May 2010 (UTC)


NOTE:IN THE FCKEDITOR LINK ABOVE CLICK THE RICH TEXT EDITOR BUTTON


  • What do you guys think of the new editor? We really incorporated it for new users that don't know Wiki coding, so I don't expect that the senior members will really care for it too much. But it does do some pretty amazing things for example when you go to link something it will search the entire wiki for whatever word you type to connect it to the article. I like the fact that one can easily click it on or off right in the edit menu. So if you want to use it, great, if not that's totally fine. We just hope it helps out those who don't know how to use wiki coding. [god]speed 09:18, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Personally i dont like richtext full stop but this ones pretty wicked, im going to stick to wiki text but like yuo said for new users its awsome :) Dave 10:47, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

What about this options? Will you launch it? --M1shael 04:26, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
