| − | Trent has told Kerrang that he is making Year Zero into a movie.
| + | I've been thinking this for a while but have been too busy to attend to it... We should either bring the main page up-to-date with when things were discovered (as we have up to April 19th I think) - Or come up with something else to say on the main page so it doesn't just end the truncated information at the 19th...

| − | ==New Websites==
| + | nothing new since june? |
| − | Are we not going to add Exterminal and Free Rebel Art to the website list yet due to the fact that they are [seem] nonfunctional as of now? And instead wait and see if other functional websites come before these are functional? Or should we just add them now (as we are going in the order of when we found them...)? [[User:Jgrizzy89|Jgrizzy89]] 13:49, 6 April 2007 (PDT)
| |
| | | | |
| − | Also, Free Rebel Art, Mining For Life, Viability Index, and Exterminal are now live. Update the main page, please. [[User:Tsguitar|Tsguitar]] 21:18, 15 April 2007 (PDT)
| + | :well there was that [http://www.ninwiki.com/Image:20708.jpg photo] trent posted with the comment, "We have been very busy doing secret things. We'll start to tell you about them soon.," so we shall see, i suppose. [[User:Tocz|Tocz]] 21:51, 12 February 2008 (PST) |
| | + | ::also, i think this maybe should be moved to another page, but i'm not sure where. [[User:Tocz|Tocz]] 21:53, 12 February 2008 (PST) |
| | | | |
| − | "Also around the same time, two websites that still look nonfunctional were found: Exterminal and Free Rebel Art." Fix that. [[User:Nickoladze|Nickoladze]] 12:25, 22 April 2007 (PDT)
| + | I wouldn't mind seeing this main page be formatted more like the Wikipedia Main Page, with a featured article, the latest NIN News, and a little "On this day" feature.--[[User:Leo3375|leo3375]] 19:33, 18 March 2008 (PDT) |
| − | : You guys can edit the main page news. There's a link directly to the right of "Recent News" that says "edit this page". -[[User:Tony|Tony]]<sup>[[User_talk:Tony|converse!]]</sup> 13:06, 22 April 2007 (PDT) | + | :That'd be pretty cool. I'm not sure about the "On this day" feature, but maybe "In this month" or something similar. I'm extremely busy at the moment - who's up to do it? --[[User:Tony|Tony]]<sup>[[User_talk:Tony|converse!]]</sup> 11:46, 19 March 2008 (PDT) |

| | | | |
| − | Can someone create a template for the Web sites? Every one is formatted a different way. Or am I the only person bothered by that? [[User:Tsguitar|Tsguitar]] 23:00, 23 April 2007 (PDT)
| + | Either way you want to set up the main page, something needs to be done about it... The timeline doesn't fit with what's new in the NINworld (could cover his leaving Interscope up until Discipline) instead of catagorize year zero... Also i was thinking about some sort of poll on the front page for users (IE: which is your favorite album? what year did you become a fan... blah blah) and have them up for a month or something just to take up space on the main page, but also becauses polls are pretty cool... (Can we cange 'Pre-order' to order ghosts, and mention discipline in the what's new section as well?) thanks and tell me what you think [[User:Jgrizzy89|Jgrizzy89]] 12:02, 24 April 2008 (PDT) |

| − | : See [[Category_talk:World_of_Year_Zero]] for site standards (I'm still working on them, but if you see problems or have suggustions, feel free to comment :P ) --[[User:BurnHavoc|BurnHavoc]] 04:25, 24 April 2007 (PDT) | + | :I agree. I was looking for some info on The Slip and Ghosts, and I actually expected it to be right there on the main page. In stead there was this overwhelmingly long list of information on Year Zero I didn't want to know about, and I had to search for the new releases. About jacking the [http://www.mansonwiki.com/ MansonWiki] Main Page: go ahead. When the MW just started we took a lot of inspiration (that is, we copypasted a lot) from the NIN wiki. I'd be glad to return the favor :P. Keep up the good work! [[User:Litso|Litso]] 13:02, 11 May 2008 (PDT) |

| − | Anybody beside me having problems with the wiki logging you out randomly? -[[User:Crazyninfan|Crazyninfan]] 23:00, 10 April 2007 (PDT)
| + | Well, I threw up a temporary main page because the old one was so horrible. QueenFUBAR has been doing some awesome work with [[Main Page/Temp]], and that'll probably turn into the real main page real soon. --[[User:Tony|Tony]]<sup>[[User_talk:Tony|converse!]]</sup> 19:24, 15 June 2008 (PDT) |
| − | :I get that once in a while, but I think its mainly caused by me not wanting to set cookies on any page whatsoever, so when I temporarily leave that page, itlooses any POSTdata... I think :) [[User:Jgrizzy89|Jgrizzy89]] 16:41, 11 April 2007 (PDT)

| − | == Extra Page? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Isnt there another page (not sure if its a branch off of one of the listed ones) that shows the history of the US in the Year Zero concept? And when you pull the left side of the screen over you get different repsonses to each section? Where is that page, and is it one to be listed (remember, Im not sure if its located off of another page, so this question follows suit...)?
| |
| − | :It's on [[Another Version Of The Truth (website)|Another Version Of The Truth]].--[[User:Leo3375|Leo3375]] 16:51, 11 April 2007 (PDT)

| − | | |
| − | == Edits? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Why can't we edit the front page anymore? And if it's an administrators issue, then will one of the possible admins please change the Newest Development section to tell about the One Country At A Time website? Thanks [[User:Jgrizzy89|Jgrizzy89]] 16:09, 12 April 2007 (PDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :You can edit subsections of the site with the [edit] button on them. The main page is locked because the admins want the layout to remain as it is. --[[User:BurnHavoc|BurnHavoc]] 24:31, 12 April 2007 (EST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another edit that needs to be made by admins is the fact that there are new(er) Mailstrom pages... I never saw that on the newest development blip... [[User:Jgrizzy89|Jgrizzy89]] 16:33, 14 April 2007 (PDT)
| |
| − | :There are LOTS of new mailstrom pages all the time. You can actually edit that section: [[Template:Mainpagenewdevs]]. --[[User:Tony|Tony]] 19:41, 14 April 2007 (PDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just something that has been bothering me about the information on the main page; first you mention how people used the track listing to find related sites but I really couldn't find anything on how they did it. And the other thing is you mention that there was a glitch in one of the songs but then never relate it to anything or explain it. I may be over picky but those have bugged me since I started helping out, but other then my pet-peves this is an awsome set up thanks for starting this guys.-[[User:Kickemwhentheyredown|Kickemwhentheyredown]] 08:19, 23 April 2007 (PDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :I believe the track listing mention is talking about [[Another Version of the Truth]] leading to [[Another Version of the Truth (website)|AnotherVersionoftheTruth.com]]. The glitch is referencing the discovery of [[In This Twilight]]. While the glitch itself had nothing, it was a message for people to expect something, which came later that night in the form of a USB key found at a concert. I myself don't know the full details besides that. Alot of things in these games happen fast and are nearly accidental, so there are very few who have the EXACT details. :D --[[User:BurnHavoc|BurnHavoc]] 13:46, 23 April 2007 (PDT)

| − | == Track Navigation ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | It seems to me that the song pages would benefit from '''Previous Track''' / '''Next Track''' links in or below the reference box at right. Wikipedia does some stuff like this, but I think the "Strong Bad Email nav" over at hrwiki.org is a good model for us. The code is simple: <pre>{{sbenav|88|mile|local news}}</pre>and the ease of use is impressive. Does anyone have good enough wiki knowledge to set up something like this?
| |
| − | [[User:JamesLucas|JamesLucas]] 21:55, 12 April 2007 (PDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | : Out of what I understand, something like that has to be added admin-side, though I'm not sure if it has to be coded in or if Wiki has built-in support for adding stylized and new tagging like that. I'll look it up a bit further, I could be offbase and it could be something anyone can do. -- [[User:BurnHavoc|BurnHavoc]] 1:49, 13 April 2007 (EST)

| − | | |
| − | I don't know if it was mentioned (my computers been shitting the bed lately so I'm online at skewl) and I'm wondering if anthing has been related back to the numbers in the lyrics booklet? I've noticed a few but forgot to write them down so yea j/w-[[User:Kickemwhentheyredown|Kickemwhentheyredown]] 06:56, 18 April 2007 (PDT)

| − | == Official link ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | check out yearzero.nin.com, they changed the entire thing (i'm guessing on the 17th)
| |
| − | also if you click under Resources link, there is a link to ninwiki!

| − | == Bannings ==
| |
| − | I've noticed an insane number of new users being added, as well as an equal number of permanent bans. Think it has something to do with the web site Velvolver found that generates a sign on for you?
| |
| − | Wiki admins seem to be having trouble keeping up...
| |
| − | | |
| − | :It's because NinWiki got an official link on http://yearzero.nin.com/. The bannings are pretty standard, it's some kinda vandal-bot that deletes whole sections of articles for no reason. We've encountered it in the past it's nothing new. --[[User:BurnHavoc|BurnHavoc]] 15:56, 18 April 2007 (PDT) | |

| − | I take it back then... Didn't know we managed to get a link on yearzero.com. My bad to whoever reads this. -[[User:Crazyninfan|Crazyninfan]] 17:12, 18 April 2007 (PDT)

| − | == Strange e-mails ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Is anyone else getting odd e-mails? I got 2 in 30 minutes, once at 3:50 and once at 4:11. The first one was from "addison Passivo" (addisonPassivo@artrageousfibers.com and was titled "Seriously though, Shonen Knife was originally a three (now two) female rock group from Osaka Japan" with a body of "I didn't know what to say and was glad to bid them good-bye." <br>
| |
| − | The second was from "Tanis Chiarello" (Tanis.Chiarello@ameripatent.com) with a title of "But no one had ever heard of them." and a body of "He'd probably be in bed, but I would get him up."<br>
| |
| − | I've checked out both sites, neither seems to be related to the YZ ARG, I could just be getting spam, but what ties them together are the subjects... it's like the subjects are their own conversation and the bodies are completely irrelevant (or so it seems).<br>
| |
| − | Shonen Knife DOES(did) exist, they ARE(were) a female trio from Japan, and AFAIK, nobody's heard of them.<br>
| |
| − | Also, I received these on the e-mail I subscribed to OSR on, that's why I'm worried, otherwise I'd dismiss them as spam.<br>
| |
| − | I'll put another comment here if I get another one, if I do and it follows the same pattern as the last one, I should either receive it at 4:31 or 4:33.[[User:CrotchPope|CrotchPope]] 14:25, 30 April 2007 (PDT)
