Long time no see, folks. I come bringing asshole Wiki users. YAY!
Lately, I've been working on a wiki page for a movie as an Admin since the original Admin-dude knows jack-squat how to work a Wiki page, but was cool enough to know when to ask for help, so I forgive him. The gift/curse of wiki-ware is that unless the content is especially protected, just about anyone with enough intelligence to click the "edit" button at the top of the screen can change it. Well, after me and one other person went in and did some major overhauling on the site, some idiot came in a completely destroyed the biggest page (that was also the wiki's main focus), that just so happened to be the one we had to build from scratch.
Luckily, Wiki also has a history tracker, where all "revisions" can be easily erased, or I would have magically gained the ability to reach through the computer monitor and choked a b***h. Now, the other Mod and the guy who I've been working with (Let's call him Mr. Awesome) are quite content to believe it was all vandalism. I, on the other hand, having seen the page itself when it was all screwed up, believe the R-Tard just didn't know what the bloody hell he/she was doing.
Look, people, if you can't figure out the coding of a site, DON'T MESS WITH IT!
Here's another gem from earlier today. This time it was a registered user whom I'm POSITIVE was either just fucking with me or I don't know what.
On one of the new pages, someone came an changed a company motto that was put down. As putting the actual motto would be rather telling, I'll just say it went something like "Can't Stop The Signal" and Jerk changed it to something like "Signal Can't Be Stopped". Initially seeing that I just rolled my eyes and changed it back, knowing for a fact the first one was right. Then, he changed it AGAIN not 10 minutes later. Now, I'm annoyed, and change it BACK. This goes on back and forth for a while before my realizing that I have a picture of the logo and motto, upload it, and post it on the page, with the FIXED article, and add a note telling people to stop messing with the frikkin motto.
YARG! ><
Now, I've been working on this Wiki for three days, Mr. Awesome and myself having had to mostly rebuild everything from the ground for, as I said, Original Admin (OA) didn't know what he was doing and allowed all kinds of stuff get posted without checking, meaning there were all kinds of stubs an speculative info everywhere, and a severe lacking of facts (he didn't even have the citation template set up). What was 15 bits of a single article plastered all over are now 7 or 8 solid, whole pages filled with facts, and then a separate page for theories to appease the masses. The guy didn't even know what the talk page was for, posting his huge long theory there instead >< Luckily, he now leaves Mr. Awesome and myself to run the place, so it works out pretty well (especially 'cause I have monster deleting powers!), but I swear... I'm gonna have to choke a b***h.
