A couple of LGPedia admins (Jonpro & Psmith) take a breather to admire the view from Lucy's Balcony.

In happier days, friendly LGPedia admins, Brucker (now retired), OwenIsCool, and JayHenry (also retired) enjoyed unseasonably warm afternoons on Lucy's Balcony.

Welcome to Lucy's Balcony, a place to ask questions or discuss general issues about the LGPedia. This page is intended to be a place where admins and active editors can discuss ongoing issues, ideas and concerns. To start a new thread, click here.

Zoey, one of your LGPedia admins, frolics with the doves on Lucy's Balcony.

No uploading??

The "Upload File" function doesn't seem to be working since the site renovation (for me, anyway, and judging by the fact that Mission Possible still doesn't have a pic, probably for everyone else). Is someone actively working to fix this? (Please???) ~ JBSHRYNE 17:33, 23 July 2007 (CDT)

Hmm, I don't know, but it's not working for me either. Someone should probably send an email to the right person if no one already has. I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure if I should just send it straight to the Creators or to someone else. If it's not fixed in the next few hours and no one has responded here, I'll go ahead and send them an email.--Jonpro 19:18, 23 July 2007 (CDT)

Zoey mentioned she had e-mailed BK an hour ago.

We can upload files now (and quite amusingly, EmoGlasses and I uploaded nearly identical pictures, respectively called NinjaSpencer and SpencerNinja). However, the picture doesn't appear on the episode template, and in its place is a distracting error message. I've left it up there for now, but I'm sure that someone will revert that... ~ JBSHRYNE 23:03, 23 July 2007 (CDT)

*Hair pull out* Darn error messages! Okay, I'm working on it.. contacting people. Hopefully we get this all sorted out soon! :( --Zoey 23:32, 23 July 2007 (CDT)

Make sure to tell them the problem is most likely a faulty installation of libgd, specific error messages being "Incomplete GD library configuration: missing function imagecreatefromjpeg" and "Incomplete GD library configuration: missing function imagecreatefromgif".

Googling the error messages should give them enough results to find the error.

P.S.: Did I mention it takes extra-effort to fuck up server libraries while moving around content?

The new lonelygirl15 site is blah, IMO. I don't even see why they had to tinker with the LGPedia. Our old design matched, but now the portals, particularly the LG portal, really clash with this new gray/modernist design. --JayHenry 09:20, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

Wait, are you saying you dislike the LGPedia design or the Lonelygirl15 design? I'm confused. --Zoey 21:42, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

Missions Page

I was thinking about having a missions page for the lonelygirl5 characters. Like a list of their missions, and what worked, what didn't, who was involved, why were they doing this. Sort of like one part of it could be about obtaining jules. Does anyone think we should do that, or not? Does anyone have any new missions? Like they can work with me to find all missions.Houdini 23:14, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

I support this idea. It's good to gather information on a wiki. Anyhow, the capturing of Jules, the getting Bree back millions of times, the breaking into Lucy's apartment twice, the whole deal. Should we create it at Missions?   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 11:27, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, I'm imagine we could add Daniel's rescue, the tailing of Alex, and the search for Isaac Gilman as well! --Pheon 11:32, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

Someone need to put it on a sandbox and we can all work on it together. I'm not sure how to work with a sandbox.--Houdini 14:26, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

There i tried to start it, but it wasn't very succesful. If you are good with codes please go here. http://www.lg15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=User:Houdini/sandbox

That was just an idea to have the blue border and the table format. If you like can you spoof it up a bit. And if you don't feel free to change it.--Houdini 22:35, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

We could do the capturing of Jules, the Vegas capturing of BDJ, the tailing of Alex, the search for Isaac Gilman, the race to contact Spencer Gilman, Daniel breaking into the EPOGEN warehouse, Daniel breaking into Lucy's apartment, the Mexico capturing of Alex by Lucy, getting Bree back, Bree escaping to be with her fellow Hymnies, getting Bree back again, the Order murdering Drew and Isaac, Brother murdering Gemma, Tachyon exposing Gemma, and so the saga continues. It's a lot, but I think it'd be nice to keep all the missions somewhere. Strong support.   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 11:41, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

Show Template?

Considering that lonelygirl15 and KateModern right now both use Template:FakeBlog2, I think it's time for a show template. The show template could have slots for the creators of the show, the main cast of the show, an image of the main cast of the show, a caption for that image, beginning date to end date (end date optional - if you don't fill it in, it would say "to present"), optional spin-off slot, & more. Any opinions?   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 10:10, 27 July 2007 (CDT)

Any thoughts at all?   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 11:38, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

Hello?   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 15:32, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

You remind me of a child..."Mom, look what I'm doing! Mom! Mom! Look! YOU'RE NOT LOOOOOKING!!!"

Isn't the fact that nobody responds answer enough?

We. Don't. Care.

The current setup works fine. On a theoretical level, you are right. FakeBlog2 is abused in that situation, and a dedicated template would make sense. But practically, it's overkill. Why create an entire new template for two pages if the hack works flawlessly?

The only difference a dedicated show template would make is that a dozen fan series would start using it.

So, as said...nobody responded for a reason. If you consider it necessary, go ahead and do it. But the fact that not even Houdini, who's enthusiastic about pretty much everything, replied, should give you a hint about how much interest there is in this topic.

~ Renegade (talk | contribs) 17:34, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

That was harsh Renegade. Anywase i honestly didn't get what you meant silver. I must have read it while i was tired. Anywase i say go ahead and do it. It doesn't hurt to do it. It only adds to LGPedia in a good way. Oh and renegade what did that enthusiastic thing mean.--Houdini 21:42, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

What was harsh about that? If all other discussions on this page get replies but this one doesn't, that is a pretty good indicator that nobody cares. There's nothing harsh about that, and it's not even ment in an insulting way. That's just how it is. As I said, on a technical level, he's right, so there's probably no one here who'd object - but on a practical level, everything works, so no one here is motivated to change it, either. So, nobody cares. If he wants to change it, fine. If not, everything still works. Nothing harsh about it. Just human nature.

And that enthusiastic thing was pointing out that, even though you are involved in everything and always happy to edit and start new projects, not even you cared before you saw me reference you. I was just trying to put the lack of interest into perspective.

Guys, please take it easy around here . . . .--Pheon 22:09, 29 July 2007

Alright sorry Pheon.I wasn't going to start a fight i was just wondering what that statement meant.--Houdini 22:15, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

LGPedia: pages

Now that the LGPedia is thriving, perhaps we should have some more LGPedia: namespace policy pages, plus things like LG:CHU (LGPedia:Changing username) and LG:SHORT (LGPedia:Shortcuts). I'm just trying to get some wiki-like content from Wikipedia, so let me know what you think.   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 11:38, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

Hello?   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 15:32, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

I say go ahead. But talk to an admin first.--Houdini 15:36, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

I'm going to say something to Zoey right now.   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 09:22, 30 July 2007 (CDT)

I Finished the Missions Page

I did it today, man that was work. Anywase tell me what you think, and also thanks silverbullet for all your help. If you see something that need changes then go ahead and change it. If you don't see a mission that i missed than put it in there.--Houdini 16:08, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

I know this is going to sound really bad coming from be but, should the missions page be on Portal:Lonelygirl15 and Portal:KateModern because the page is a big part for both series. If it need some touching up before it is put on there thats ok, but what do you guys think.--Houdini 21:09, 30 July 2007 (CDT)

Potential naming problem

I've just noticed that KM-images are named using the same scheme as the LG15 ones; sure, the probability it comes to actual naming conflicts is low, but shouldn't we add an infix for organizational purposes? Otherwise, we'll have stuff like

• 00XA-blablabla
• 00XA-blablabla
• 00XA-blablabla
• 00XA-blablabla
• 00XA-blablabla
• 00XA-blablabla

in a few months, and no one will be able to tell which blablabla belongs to KM and which to LG15. I'm thinking of force-suggesting 9999-KM-Description-Modification.xxx here. Alternatively, KM9999-Description-Modification.xxx would separate them entirely in file listings. Opinions?

ill try to stick to it, you should talk to psmith he uploads a lot of pictures--Houdini 20:18, 30 July 2007 (CDT)

Psmith is doing LG15, but Truncatedslinky seems to be the KM equivalent. I'll message him. Good idea, thank you. :)

~ Renegade (talk | contribs) 20:48, 30 July 2007 (CDT)

thats true, he/she i dont know is doing a lot of pictures and this would help out a lot for orginization

good idea--Houdini 21:03, 30 July 2007 (CDT)

Cool, that's fine, I just didn't know you guys wanted to do that. I can rename the pictures and upload them again if absolutely necessary. I don't always upload a ton of pictures, but there were basically none on the KateModern site and it definitely needed some. Oh, and by the way, I'm a girl. --truncatedslinky 22:42, 30 July 2007 (CDT)
