luchawiki feature addition

If you check out any of the category pages, like

http://www.luchawiki.org/index.php?title=Category:Mexican_wrestlers
http://www.luchawiki.org/index.php?title=Category:Canadian_wrestlers

You’ll see a box on the top right side, with “Create an article to this category”. It does what it says – you just type the name of the wrestler, and it’ll create a page for it with the bioFields template, a gallery template for pictures, and the category you started with. (It does all of this regardless of the page you’re trying to create, so it’s not especially helpful if you’re creating a move page or other things.)

Hopefully this helps new people starting pages, being a more obvious place to start. I figure it’ll also save some time tracking down the templates for people who make new pages often.

luchawiki rss/atom feeds are up

This was one of those fixes where, when I finally figured out the right google words to find some help and read the problem, I felt so dumb. But if you’re one who likes tracking stuff on the wiki

  • Recent Changes: XMLAtom
  • New Pages: XMLAtom

    I’m going to restore those feeds to this page – I took them down in hopes of fixing the rebuilding problems with the blogs (why comments don’t show up right away), but they’re still there and I’ve got to figure another solution anyway.

    Anyone know what happened to Victor? Haven’t seen him at his site for a few weeks.

  • luchawiki down for the moment

    Luchawiki is down at the moment, but I believe will be up soon. We’re restoring a backup from early Sunday morning. If you added something Sunday, please check back later and see if was saved, or if it’ll have to be re-entered. I’m not quite sure what happened.

    Update: It’s back up, but like I thought, most stuff from Sunday appears missing.

    trolling for pictures

    So I’m tooling around the luchawiki today, and after figuring out the difference between the side panels of the UWA and mid80s-mid90s NWA belts (the NWA ones were six sided, thanks for asking), I added an Ultimo Dragon pic to our Gallery of NWA Middleweight Champions. We’ve now got 20 title photos, representing 37 title reigns.

    Anyone know of a good Great Sasuke site with lots of pictures? I’m trying to track down one of him as NWA Middleweight Champ, but the only one I’ve come up with that’s close is

    which I lifted from his fan mySpace, and is too tiny to work unless I’m desperate. I just need a pointer towards picture sites, I’d sift thru them myself. I’ve looked thru the usual suspects but maybe there’s more out there that google isn’t telling me?

    If there’s a good Mano Negra, La Fiera, or Satanico site – besides the obvious one – with a lot of pictures. And there’s gotta be a picture of El Samurai with the J-Crown somewhere.

    Luchawiki back up!

    Luchawiki.com is back up and working. If you see the Huracan Ramirez picture on the main page, everything should be back to normal. (If Angel Blanco and Dr. Wagner are still up there, try refreshing, or coming back in a little bit.)

    Thanks for your patience.

    holy carp

    luchawiki.com is back up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Why am I typing this? I need to make backups.

    Update: making back ups! Checking my e-mail to find out what tale of woe vizaweb is going to use as cover!

    Update to the update: Still haven’t gotten an explanation. Oh well. I’m probably going to freeze the luchawiki setup after tomorrow’s news update, and then I’ll start the move to the new hosting.
