On my atom kid story some one added get a drum set could you delete that (and mabey read the rest of the story and give it a rating.) Djf2014 10:05, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

Can you re-upload all the files on this wiki?

All the files on this wiki have lost their content after you re-named this wiki. When I was GreatGrapes4330 on this wiki, they appeared, but after you re-named this wiki, they're all gone, so can you re-upload or Platypus can do it? --Newman2 20:45, 25 July 2012 (UTC)----

"Pedo Stories" and Legality

Allow me to quote another user here:

"You are totally wrong about written descriptions of underage sex being illegal. The fact that the material could be considered obscene, and thus illegal (in the US) would actually apply equally to any story with any extreme sexual activity. It can be applied to rape, bestiality, and just about ANY story that contains sexual descriptions. It is based on a remnant of a struck down child protection law that was unconstitutional, which is why it is sited for material directly related to children. The law is laughable, and you may have found one of the few cases where it was actually used, and the only one that I am aware of that actually made it through successfully. The user who pointed it out to you must be a free speech hating Nazi to bring up such an unlikely and remote senario as based on such a law. If this law were actually a problem, the largest sex story site on the internet www.asstr.org would not exist. No reasonable court would rule that you are guilty of transporting obscenity for something someone else wrote on your website. I'm not trying to tell you how to run your site, but if the "no pedo stories" rule stands; I will be leaving."

I wrote the above comment to Platypus after failing to be able to post it on the Main Talk page due to problems with the external link/captcha system. I messaged Platypus instead of you because your User Page says to use the main page which I could not do due to the aforementioned difficulties. --Elerneron 15:35, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

MediaWiki version

Great to hear from you, RobKohr!

On User talk:Platypus#Rule clarification from RobKohr you said "I am currently working on moving it to a new server with an upgraded OS/Apache/Php and a new reverse proxy of nginx which all put together will hopefully make things much faster."

Would you also consider a MediaWiki upgrade?

Specifically, variables. For regular Wiki pages (such as Wikipedia) not central - but for writing "create your own story" adventures, it would be GREAT to have simple variable support, allowing stuff like "you pick up the key" on one page to set KEY=1, and then check of KEY=1 before letting the user open the door on another page, or whatever. In this case KEY is a variable, something that retains its value between wiki pages.

I've found that if the wiki runs 1.29 or higher, you can enable this:

https ://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Variables

If this page is correct, we're currently on version 1.15:

(Since external links are blocked, I've added spaces to break them. Hope it's easy to see where I'm pointing)

Thanks for your consideration!
