Wiki Vandalism - About xda-developers.com

Hi All,
There has recently been a "session" of vandalism on the wiki, here is a short guide on what you can do to help:
1. Tell someone who cares
a.Mention on my talk page on the wiki, or contact a wiki admin (I'm the only one whose really active at the moment.)
b.Reply to this thread and post the details (I am subscribed to it) but if I'm unavailable then you can click the Report Post button (
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
) to notify all forum moderators / administrators immediately to the problem.
2. It's a wiki, you can help out too
By clicking on Recent Changes in the wiki you can see all the changes that have occured over the past few days.
Click on Diff next to the Edit that caused the vandalism.
Ensure the changes you want to revert are shown in the diff and that no valid information will be lost.
If so, click on Undo (found above the right hand pane of the "diff" view).
Again, confirm the Undo will not remove anything bad.
Click save page.
If a page needs deleting, put a Delete Tag on it.
Any problems please feel free to ask me, here, via PM or on the wiki.
Thanks
Dave

Thanks Dave. I've encountered such "vandalism" on this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Developing a graphics driver for Windows Mobile
As you can see from the history, a user called "ramair" completely erased the contents of the page, on November 3rd, 2009.
I've restored the page to it's original glory.

Thanks for the tip.
I cannot see any malicious intent in the user doing this, so I think it's best to let it slide. Accidents can happen, I know someone binned the HomePage the other day by mistake .

Perhaps the option of everybody can edit should be controlled, just as to post in marketplace member will need certain number of posts or time being an active member to edit Wiki

Wiki's are meant for everyone, anyone can help, even if it's just changing a spelling or fixing a link. And just as anyone can break then, anyone can fix them.

Wasn't sure whether or not to just delete the page (I have no idea who, or what, Monban is) so I thought I would post it here. Linky

I SUGGEST YOU EDIT YOUR POSTS AND REMOVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS

It's cool,
but, why shouldl I post my Email-Adress in a public forum? Are you still collecting email adresses (or the forum, where we should post our adresses)?
That is TIGHT! I'd definitely like a copy of this. Really nice work! You have a version in red as well? I'd like to see that. I'm headed to your link right now.

strange forum (for me in any case)
hey xelashiu,
as i said, it's strange that you need our emails for the dialpad....why?
your forum is just that strange to me. there a lot of strange restrictions.
Sometimes you only can download when you reply to the thread - so you have to reply with nonsens...
or you can't download unless you made 100 posts....
what's the matter of all these restrictions ? for me it's just totally inconvenient.. i'm just wondering why you do this ?
i'm just happy that there is xda developers without all this strange restrictions...

Previous threads preview when creating new threads

Hello there!
I have a small suggestion to help minimize duplicate threads.
This is especially prevalent in the HD2 forum where every day people make new threads about Android on HD2 (which, I am guilty of doing too...my apologies )
So, on some other vBulletin boards in which I am a member, they have a great feature.
When someone is creating a new thread and puts in the thread title, the board displays previous threads that have similar titles. I really think it is necessary to have that functionality in here too.
Just my 2c
Thanks for reading!
It's one I have suggested a few times before, but I am not sure what vB mod it is.
Any ideas?
Is this it?
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?257841-Related-Posts-Show-When-Creating-New-Thread
Thanks, I'll stick on the admin's list and see what he says
thanks for reading
I hope the admins can realize this, it would be a great feature.

+1 on this
So I looked into this and turned on a plugin that shows related threads at the bottom of each thread page. Two problems with it: 1. It's not that useful 2. It affects sever performance.
If anyone knows of a plugin that will search as you type a new thread title in, that would be great.
Don't know about the real time search (I am not an admin so I don't know the first thing about vBulliten) but here is the screen shot of an example of what I was talking about from the avsforum board in the first post and the relevant plug in:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and here is the page for the plug in:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=151714
I understand that this plug in is heavy on the server. As such, is it possible to turn it on just for some high activity sub forums?

If you have a problem, how can anyone help, when they don't know, what phone you got, what ROM, What Kernel is installed, what caused the current problem and what you had done to solve it.
All these matters, for an XDA member to even THINK of helping you and they might just ignore, since you could not be bothered to provide the details. Most of all specific phones have specific forums and you should first use the search for that forum or look in the WIKI for that particular Phone, Imagine some one gave you an answer meant for a another phone that is not similar to yours, you could end up spending a lot of time and money trying to recover it. So be wise and do your part, search for your phone in this forum and post it there after you have tried searching for the answers you are seeking in that specific forum.
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.

[Q] Complicated Contacts question

Hi All!
This is a rare question as it only comes relevant to very few people and consists of 2 parts. Easier part first,
I have tried to search and almost no one cared for this issue. Here is the thing, if you use stock android like Nexus 5 or Motorola Moto G, or even GS5, you can lookup a contact no matter if you write his last name before his first name. Meaning let's say have a John Doe on my phone, I can look up the following
John
Doe
John Doe
Doe John
Now ALL of the above would work on other devices that I mentioned but NOT on the G3! On the G3 if you look up the latter (Doe John) the device will indicate that no such person exists!
Now to the really complicated problem,
I have more than 10K contacts, and some of them are complicated foreign names. For example "Aschendorf", I am needing a solution for the fact that I do not always remember the correct spelling. Meaning I would want the device to fetch the contact even if I write "Achendorf" (missing s) or "Achendorph" and so on and so forth.
Any idea how to overcome these 2 issues?
Thanks!
