Last year, I instituted the different usergroups, and a couple of months ago, I formalized them and set out their different roles and responsibilities. Recently I worked out all the kinks, I think, and set out different guidelines for Administrators, Bureaucrats, and Managers. This mostly doesn't affect anyone, and once I have things mostly in place I'll inform the people who hold those roles, but I just want to announce that we have serious safeguards in place to keep the appropriate people alerted of what happens. Any blocks or suppressions have to be reported to a Manager or MinStuff, and any CheckUser queries by a Manager need to be reported to the MinStuff.
We also have (thanks largely to Epic) gotten a lot of IPA pronunciations on a ton of pages (http://wiki.talossa.com/Category:Articles_that_use_IPA) and we've got recorded pronunciations on a dozen of them, too!

Random Page is now useful! wiki.talossa.com/Special:RandomBefore, we had so many laws that more than half the time a "random page" would be a law page. Now that doesn't happen, and so if you hit "random page" you have a great chance of getting to a new and interesting bit of information you might never have known!

It also means we can play the Wiki game in which people have to reach a certain page (determined by the random page link) by clicking on random page and then only click on links on the Wiki entry before the other competitors.

That's right! We're very good about orphans and dead-ends, too, so that game would probably actually work pretty well.
How Many Clicks to the King?
I bet you can do it in two, maybe three, pretty much every time.

I bet you can do it in two, maybe three, pretty much every time. I've done this 5 times now, and each time it's taken me two clicks after the initial click on random page.

After I install the inline sound stuff, so we can play sounds (like pronunciations) from within the articles themselves, I think I'll actually - astonishingly enough - have finished with major wiki projects for the time being. In two and a half years and with many dedicated people, we have come a remarkable way. Check out the original version of the main page! wiki.talossa.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&direction=next&oldid=5

Weird error message going on right now; we're investigating.

Do you need any help with the PHP code?

Has he contacted the wiki's web host? Until they re-enable the ini_set() php function, this will persist.

I can't help, then. That's Dan Teziun's job, I can't contact the web host.

Mysteriously, and hopefully permanently, the error code has vanished into the night. Leaving behind broken hearts and weeping widows, it crept out in the wee hours.

I'm sorry to be so dumb about this, but I've been searching, and just cannot find the answer to what is probably a dead simple question: How do I create a new page on the Wiki (I want to create my citizen page)?

No, it's the little things like that that can be the trickiest!
The easiest way is to just search for the exact page name you want, and when it's not found, click "Create this page." So just enter "D. Çamberleir Forestál" in the search box, and then click the resulting red link when it doesn't find a page with that name. Then you can add what you want to add to the page and create it!
