Another option is to look at the [[Transwiki]] list, which will show all pages that have not been transferred yet as redlinks.</s> -- [[User:Mr. Flay|Mr.]] [[User_talk:Mr. Flay|Flay]] 16:36, 25 January 2007 (MST)

*The MafiaScum introduction on the main page talks about "I". Who wrote this originally? We should make reference to that person or change the word. _ [[User:Mgm|Mgm]] 01:20, 31 January 2007 (MST)
**I agree: I've done this now. I also took out the bit about "a drunk IS" - it struck me as an in joke that was more likely to put people off and inappropriate for the front page. -[[User:Mr Stoofer|Stoofer]] 09:45, 31 January 2007 (MST)
***That section shouldn't really have been used in the first place; I wrote it for the original About page, long before the first wiki was made, and it made a little more sense in context. jeep was just trying to incorporate all that old stuff in the wiki, and I guess no one wanted to touch it once it was there. --[[User:WikiSysop|WikiSysop]] 04:42, 10 February 2007 (MST)

* Is the Administration section of this page still relevant/applicable -[[User:Mr Stoofer|Stoofer]] 09:45, 31 January 2007 (MST)

Everytime I try to make an account, this message comes up:

:The username is Trosk 109 by the way.  I try to log in, and it says invalid information. [[User:71.172.69.32|71.172.69.32]] 07:47, 6 July 2007 (MDT)

Is Mith still the site admin?  I clicked a link to send an email to the administrator, it sent it to him, hoping he's still there somewhere.  This was only a couple of days ago, so maybe I'm just being impatient, but if that's going into a void I'd rather know sooner than later.  :)  Thanks.  --[[User:JoDiamonds|JoDiamonds]] 15:21, 6 July 2007 (MDT)
:Yeah, but JEEP said he was trying something earlier today and it didn't work, so he rolled it back. Try again, guys? -- [[User:Mr. Flay|Mr.]] [[User_talk:Mr. Flay|Flay]] 19:52, 6 July 2007 (MDT)

::It's the forum.  I just tried again with the name "BigTrosk109", same error happened.  Tried logging in, double checked the name and password were right, it said the name was invalid.  And yet, I'm listed as a user!  Can someone please tell me why exactly I can't sign-up?  Why am I listed as a user, but I can't log in?  Or do you need more info?  Thanks.

===One question===
:One question: if I sign-up for a game now, how long will it be until the game is done?  I'm gonna be away next Sat. for a week, so will a game take more than a week?  Thanks. [[User:71.172.69.32|71.172.69.32]] 09:14, 7 July 2007 (MDT)
::Games almost always take longer than a week, unless they go horribly wrong on mislynches. But a week is a pretty significant absence, you may want to a) ask your mod if that's okay, or b) wait to get in a game until after you come back. But if it's a [[Newbie Game]], I can just delay your signup until your return with no trouble. -- [[User:Mr. Flay|Mr.]] [[User_talk:Mr. Flay|Flay]] 12:05, 9 July 2007 (MDT)
:::Done. [[User:71.172.69.32|71.172.69.32]] 14:18, 10 July 2007 (MDT)

==Help 2==

I am having the same problem as the person above. Username Atheous [http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7559], this is the info I posted in another part of the wiki [http://www.mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:Don%27t_Panic#Account_Problem], I just saw this part today.

  == Account Problem ==
  :Posting here as I can't post as a Guest on the forums. Tried clearing cookies and using different browsers and computers. 
  :Created this account on the 4th of July, got an e-mail telling me to wait for activation. Nothing has happened yet and newer 
  accounts since mine have been activated.
  :Tried e-mailing mith and JEEP to no avail (spam filters?).
  :This is my account (does not appear on the members list).
  ::http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7559
  :Hope someone is able to help me here, if not I would appreciate it if someone could cut and paste this message here into this 
  thread [http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3163&start=0].
  :Thank you,
  :Atheous
  Edit: Quite a few other people seem to be having the same problem, "sam Cullen" "samCullen" "leech" "locke" "p3nguin" 
  to name a few of the possibles. Maybe it is a general problem with registration.

==Interesting Facts==

A lot of wikis have interesting facts up, do you think we could do this on the front page, and change it once a week or something? - [[User:Fritzler|Fritzler]] 21:37, 25 September 2007 (MDT)
:I think that's a good idea. What sort of facts did you have in mind? -- [[User:Mr. Flay|Mr.]] [[User_talk:Mr. Flay|Flay]] 11:37, 2 October 2007 (MDT)
If we can get enough facts, perhaps we can get an "On this day..." on the Front Page. It can be simple things like games which began and finished on each day. We could use a similar method that Wikipedia uses. A page on Mafiawiki: created for each day which can be edited with events for each day, then transcluded into the main page with the <nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}</nowiki> variables. <sup>[[User:Somestrangeflea|some]]</sup>[[User Talk:Somestrangeflea|strange]]<sub>[[User:Somestrangeflea/Games In Detail|flea]]</sub> 10:24, 24 November 2007 (MST)

== i think... ==
we should move the introduction of this page to [[Mafia (game)]] and put an introduction to [[MafiaWiki]] here... what do '''''you''''' think?<br><sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ndash; {{user|Dani Banani}} {{#ifeq:t|t|07:32, 11.26.2007 (UTC)|t}}</sup>

== Future Editions ==

I know how theres a reason why only a few people can edit this page so I have decided that we need to make a section where people can say what they need on this page for example maybe you want Forums on this page etc. -[[User:Max|Max]] 11:59, 26 November 2007 (MST)

:actually, this page is not protected... anyone can edit it... originally i protected it b/c this page is a hotspot for spammers, but [[Mr. Flay]] unprotected it b/c we get a lot of IP requests here... can anyone think of a happy medium?.. maybe [[Talk:Help]]?.. <br><sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ndash; {{user|Dani Banani}} {{#ifeq:t|t|08:31, 12.16.2007 (UTC)|t}}</sup>

== Nice site! ==
