Spambots
I have a solution to your spambots problem. I run a small wiki which recently came under attack by a trio of spambots, and I found installing the reCAPTCHA plugin prevented any further spambots from registering. I hope this suggestion helps you. --Hunter X 06:39, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Amazingly, I already thought of reCAPTCHA, and is just waiting for Swert to make a decision. :) Bioran ☺ (Talk) (Designs) (UP Designs) (KanohiJournal) ☺
- Ah, okay. I had looked around to see if anyone else had suggested anything, but I must have missed your suggestion. --Hunter X 18:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Name-Change
Member Suggestion Hub would be more appropriate. `Kraahlix
As another take on name-changing, I feel it should be noted that the Matoran race were originally named the Tohunga, a fact which is not mentioned on the Matoran page. This is a small but important detail that should be recorded officially. -NujuOnline (The preceding unsigned comment was made by NujuOnline)
- We don't wish to post that word, due to the Maori's request that terms from their language not be used. This was one such term. --

CP
I think the CP could really use some serious help. I appreciate the motive behind its current design, but some of those colors don't really belong on an official BS01 page, especially together.
Also, lots of the content need updating and organizing. `Kraahlix
- The CP is always a big problem. It gets revamped, look nice and pretty and is used often, they it goes "KA-PLUT" and dies. Bioran ☺ (Talk) (Designs) (UP Designs) (KanohiJournal) ☺
- Well it needs to either be useful and functional or deleted, IMO. `Kraahlix
Saga Guides/Coming of the Toa
I just would like to point out that we have Takua's journey as separate section of the page, yet we know when the events take place. (I put this on the talk page, yet no one answered) We have the serials as part of Mahri Nui and Karda Nui, why not just put the MNOLG info chronoligically along with the article? If you want, I could fix it up; I have more time since summer started a few days ago. TheSkeletonMan939 Talk

Alternate Universe Naming/Numbering
So, on BZP, I posted a topic about an Alternate Universe numbering scheme. Greg mentioned that we may want to consider numbering the alternate universes in a fashion similar to the Marvel Universe, and I really took to this idea. I'll republish the original text (slightly modified for reading ease) for anybody who is too lazy to click links...
- "So, whenever we are introduced to a new Alternate Universe, we are always at a loss as to what it should be called. Typically, we name the universe after an important event, or defining factor of the universe. However, this is not always a viable option, and can lead to confusing names. In a recent PM, Greg suggested to a BZP member that we number our alternate universes, in a manner similar to the Marvel continuity. I really liked this idea; however, several problems arose, chief among them being: how would we number the universes?
I came up with an idea of my own, but we were wondering what you all had to say about it. Do we number them arbitrarily? If we have some sort of numbering scheme, what would it be? I leave this to you.
My idea was as follows: Take the year of divergence from the prime reality (in the case of the Toa Empire AU, it would be 3500 years ago, thereabouts) and divide by 10. AU-350. There are several complications that come from this, such as with the Kingdom AU. Only several weeks ago in the prime universe, but 10,000 years for them. Plus, this system more often than not lends itself to rounded numbers, and we can't account for universe whose dates of divergence we do not know." - — Me
So, I'm posting this here for people without BZP accounts, and for those who feel better using their BS01 accounts. Do you guys have any ideas? Arbitrary seems to be the most popular on BZP, but ET is super against this, and I think it's pretty silly as well. Or do you guys just like it how it is? Gimme some thoughts here, peeps.
May turn this into a vote eventually, once we've solidified some options. --Dorek (Talk| Contribs) 00:33, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- It certainly would be incredibly strange if we end up with a page listing out AU-350, AU-9000, AU-300 etc. etc. I think if we were to do this, we must discuss closely with Greg about this, in order to figure out a viable system. Bioran ☺ (Talk) (Designs) (UP Designs) (KanohiJournal) ☺
I'm not sure about this identification system. It seems interesting, but...it could use a few changes before I warm up to the idea.
Just offering my opinion. (After all, it is the Member Opinions Hub, isn't it? XD)

- Ah, forgot I had this here >>.
- I did a little more research, and discovered that Marvel numbers their alternate universes (for the most part) based on publication dates. If we were to utilize that system, it would end up looking like...
The Melding AU = Alternate Universe 1212
Alternate Spherus Magna U = Alternate Universe 526
Toa Empire AU = Alternate Universe 114
The Kingdom AU = Alternate Universe 71
Great Spirit Makuta AU = Alternate Universe 126
- So yeah, it's a nice system. A similar one could be applied to pocket dimensions, though I'm fine with those. --Dorek (Talk| Contribs) 03:33, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Hmm...this seems interesting. It would be nice, though, if we kept the names (Melding Alternate Universe, Toa Empire Alternate Universe, etc.); I actually like those more than number identification systems.
Then again, maybe I don't like number identification systems because they remind me of math... XD Talk Page 20:46, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Just my opinion, but I think this might work. I like it.--

- I prefer the naming system for three reasons. First, it's easier to remember the names after just glancing at the pages once or twice. With numbers, one would have to visit the page numerous times to get used to them, inconveniencing those who might only pop in every now and then to find a piece of info before leaving to finish a fanfic or whatever.
- Second, the naming system is based more clearly upon the official canon. The name immediately shouts out the reason for its relevance rather than something arbitrary like the date it appeared in story.
- Third, if we start using the naming system here, people will use it on BZP. If people use it on BZP, then once it's explained to them, noobs will start frustrating Greg to no end by referring to the AUs by number and forcing him to look it up. After all, he's not going to have it any easier learning the numbers than we are!--

- I think it's just as easy to memorize names than it is to memorize numbers, but that's just me.
- Our naming system is more arbitrary than this one is; we pick random things (events, organizations, etc) for the current ones.
I think it might actually be easier with Numbers. The system with the dates is good and better than the first one suggested, and much, much less arbitrary then the names.♪~V File Zoxara Tomana~Main Page
