I wonder if we could run a bot to move all of the statutes to the Law space, which would ensure that only scribes could edit them, allow for better searching, and make "random page" an actual useful thing. I implemented lawspace last year, but balked at the huge job of moving everything. Maybe you could help, if you have time?

Ideally, I want to move all the statutes and leave a redirect behind. Do you think we can do this, or foresee any problems?--AD (talk) 14:20, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

I probably could run the ScribeBot I have (which I actually set as a Scribe in foreseeing doing this xD) to move everything in the Statutes and Prime dictates categories to the Lawspace, provided that the laws are in the categories already. I'll look up what it'll take to code it, but I don't see it as being too hard. Dien (talk) 18:49, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

That would be great! Especially if it can leave a redirect behind. (That way we won't break any links). Thank you so much.--AD (talk) 19:02, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Can you bump me up to a Scribe temporarily in case anything goes wrong with the bot? Dien (talk) 19:35, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

As an agent of the Scribery, and in keeping with the law, I hereby appoint you as a Assistant Scribe, specifically to assist in the task of sorting the laws in a more secure manner.--AD (talk) 19:39, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Awesome! :D I do have a question: Would we rather have Category:Statutory law or Category:Statutes? Right now, Template:ScribeAuth includes Category:Statutory law on all pages, but I can change it to include Category:Statutes instead. Dien (talk) 22:06, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Uh... I don't think I have a preference. I guess Statutes is a little more succinct, but has the same meaning?--AD (talk) 01:13, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Alright, I'll go ahead and shoot them all over to Statutes, no problem. Oh and I moved all the laws. Dien (talk) 01:14, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Whaaaaaaaaaa holy crap good job.--AD (talk) 01:16, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

No problem. :) Fixed the Statutes thing; just waiting on everything to "settle down" before I delete the Statutory Law category and clean up everything. The bot is working on double redirects right now and should be done momentarily; I might use it to clean up the category stuff if I need to, otherwise, when it's done I'll shut 'er down! xD Dien (talk) 01:24, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Nice! That's great work, D!--AD (talk) 01:27, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

-::and replied :)
-Hi.  sent you a message on the cosa pages, but doing it here so you get the popup.  Im not sure about putting the clark results on the cosa pages.  they are two different things.  bear in mind that the word clark has two differing meanings, one is the legislative session and one is the legislative journal.  the thing your adding into the cosa pages is the journal and probably should have its own place.  its mixing up senate votes into a place they dont belong.  The Cosa pages are a subset of ziu and clark pages should be a subset of chancery.. should try and get it into [[clark]] somehow instead.  We can link from the cosa pages to the clark pages with a "see also" section.[[User:Eovartgrischun|Eðo_Grischun]] ([[User talk:Eovartgrischun|talk]]) 14:55, 11 July 2012 (CDT)
+...eh? {{:User:Sebastian_Panache/sig}} 02:10, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
-:Haha I'm an idiot xD I completely forgot that the Clark comprises both the Cosa and the Senats. I mean, I knew it did obviously, but I got the Cosa confused with the full Ziu. I'm editing as we speak. [[User:Dient|Dient]] ([[User talk:Dient|talk]]) 14:57, 11 July 2012 (CDT)

-::lol, cool.  I love the way the collapse section is working out.  It's the right idea just the wrong place.  I'm going to keep working on general elections and cosa pages till I get them as far back as we have data for.  Give me a shout if you need any help filling all those voting tables out.  [[User:Eovartgrischun|Eðo_Grischun]] ([[User talk:Eovartgrischun|talk]]) 15:02, 11 July 2012 (CDT)
-:::I'm not sure if we should put all the past clarks on the Clark page. It seems like the Clark page should be more of a definition of what a Clark is, with a link to a page of past results. As for linking the Cosas with their respective Clarks via a "see also" type thing, I can hash out a quick template if we need to. Finally, yes I would LOVE some help with the vote tables haha :) I spent half the day trying to figure out why they wouldn't work in the template, and now that I've figured it out, I'm tired of messing with them right now. (The problem was the <nowiki>"|"</nowiki> character won't work inside the template I made, so whenever you need to put a <nowiki>"|"</nowiki> in your table, you have to instead put in <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki>) Let me know what you think about making a page just for the "Past Clarks" as well.

-::::yes another page would be fine, in fact, ideal.  I was just saying clark as an example rather than cosa.  we can work out link and nav between all once everything is in the right places.  I was having the exact same problem earlier! I could not get the table to work proper and was scratching my head.  I did find a workaround by using a plain html table but it quickly got messy.  im glad you found a better way.  for now, do you fancy using some kind of place holder wherever you want me to add the tables to? [[User:Eovartgrischun|Eðo_Grischun]] ([[User talk:Eovartgrischun|talk]]) 15:31, 11 July 2012 (CDT)
-:::::A nice place holder for the tables would be perfect :D And if you haven't already (I haven't checked any logs) I could go ahead and make a page for Past Clarks. Should the name of the page be Past Clarks or Past Clark Results? [[User:Dient|Dient]] ([[User talk:Dient|talk]]) 15:53, 11 July 2012 (CDT)

-::::::no, not created that yet.  I did do one for [[November 2011 Clark]] which I will get deleted once it's on your fancy thang.  hm, not sure on name.  Might as well go with past clark results? [[User:Eovartgrischun|Eðo_Grischun]] ([[User talk:Eovartgrischun|talk]]) 16:00, 11 July 2012 (CDT)

-Started the [[Past Clark Results]] page, added the First and Second Clark for the 43rd Cosa. (Vote tables just in the first one, obviously.) There is not a subsection in my template for Failed Bills; should I create one? (The only way to see failed bills now is by looking at the Final Results.) The Chancery template needs to be added to the page. Also, if you wanted to add all of the templates I created for this project: [[Template:CPASSED]], [[Template:CFAILED]], [[Template:DOL]], and [[Template:ClarkNav]] to the Chancery Template Category page, that would be good. (I didn't want to try--I'm not all that great with tables.) It looks as though you could go ahead and delete the November Clark page, but I would save the layout (export it to like [[User:Eovartgrischun/N2011C]]) just in case we need to look back on anything for any reason. Finally, did you get admin status? I told Hool to bump you up. [[User:Dient|Dient]] ([[User talk:Dient|talk]]) 16:24, 11 July 2012 (CDT)
