| − | Hope I am doing this right! Wanted to introduce myself to you all. My name is Alyssa and I have utilized this resource a lot in the last year. I am passionate about Pathfinders and helping our kids and today decided to sign up so I could actually help and participate and give back as a thank you. Looking forward to contributing as I can :) Loved Oshkosh and all the honors we earned there and can't wait for the start of a new year [[User:ScrappinAly|ScrappinAly]] 20:49, 30 August 2014 (EDT)scrappinaly

| − | ==New South American Division Honors==
| |
| | | | |
| − | Hello, everyone. I'm not sure how many here really follow other divisions, but the South American Division approved several new honors and have manuals out in Portuguese and in Spanish. Are there any plans to incorporate them here? I do lots of translation work and would be available to contribute the requirements into English.

| | | | |
| − | If needed, I can post a link to their new honor manuals, which include all of their requirements. [[User:W126jep|W126jep]] 15:49, 29 July 2014 (EDT)
| + | Hello all, |
| | | | |
| − | :The GC just approved eight honors (some from the SAD, some from other divisions). If you would like to add the SAD honors, that would be a good thing. If you need help formatting them, I can do that, though it's not that hard. Thanks! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 22:50, 29 July 2014 (EDT) | + | 2 questions: |
| | | | |
| − | :Perhaps a greater need would be translating the Answer Book into Spanish? If you're interested, I'd like to explore that. We'd want to see how Wikipedia sets up multiple languages and follow their lead. I'd also want to get the NAD to buy into this (if they've already set something in motion, we would not want to duplicate the effort). --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 23:00, 29 July 2014 (EDT)
| + | 1) I have 2 honors workbook, one from 2000 (or so) and one from 2014. However, there have been some new honors added since 2014 (i.e. Mobile Technology honor, in 2016). Is there an updated honor workbook coming to include the newer honors from 2014 onward, such as the Mobile Technology honor (and others)? |
| | | | |
| − | ::That was actually one of the goals I had in mind for the Answer Book. The NAD provides an Honors Manual in Spanish, which I have a copy of. I wouldn't have to translate myself the requirements (except for the newer honors for the past 3 or so years). I could work on translating the answers or finding equivalents in Spanish. I would probably need some help, though, with formatting. Check with the NAD and let me know if we can get started on this. [[User:W126jep|w126jep]] 08:35, 30 July 2014 (EDT)
| + | 2) The current Wikibooks Pathfinder Honor Answers website isn't updated to reflect a lot of the newer honors, even the 2014 Honors book. Will the Wikibooks website be updated anytime soon? |
| | | | |
| − | :::If the NAD has official requirements in Spanish, I think we can proceed with setting things up here for the answers. I'll dig into how to do a multi-language wiki when I get time, but with Oshkosh coming fast, I don't know that I'll have much of that in the next couple of weeks. I have already put the question to one of the NAD guys, but he was a champion of the wiki in the first place. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 15:15, 30 July 2014 (EDT)

| + | ~ Kris |
| | | | |
| − | :I've been trying to figure out how to create translated pages. From what I gather, a completely new wiki needs to be created in the different language and then linked. I'm wondering if you were able to find out anything and also if you were able to speak with the NAD.[[User:W126jep|w126jep]] 19:41, 1 September 2014 (EDT) | + | :Hi Kris and welcome to the Wiki! Great questions. Here are my responses, you might get other responses from others too: |
| | | | |
| − | ::I have been researching the multilingual wiki, and have pretty much settled on the Translate extension. Setting up a second wiki is another approach, and is the one taken by Wikipedia, but it is fraught with difficulty. There are a few hurdles that need to be overcome before we can install the Translate extension however. We need to update the version of mediawiki we are using (we're on 1.18 right now, and we need to be on 1.23). To that end, I archived the site last night to prepare for the upgrade. The other issue is that we will need shell access to the server, which is something our provider is going to resist (as well they should). This means I will have to get them involved, and for that, I have to talk to the NAD, as it probably comes with funding requirements. Incidentally, setting up a second Wiki would require the provider's involvement ''every time'' we want to add a new language. The Translate extension should only require their involvement once. | + | :1) The two workbooks you have, are they from the General Conference or from Advent''Source''? I ask because the GC Honors has not been updated since their last 2014 edition. However, Advent''Source'' prints material specifically for the North American Division and usually has their material up to date, according to the NAD. I would not know when the GC plans to update their material, especially since Andrés Peralta took over as the new world leader for clubs and is still trying to learn as much as he can. Many times the GC & NAD requirements can differ, so that might also be a discrepancy you also see; this wouldn't necessarily mean one is outdated, only that different versions exist according to their region. |
| | | | |
| − | ::From what I have gathered, the NAD is very much in favor of a multilingual wiki ''in principle.'' Further, I understand that the GC is interested in the wiki now as well, but they want to see it less localized to the NAD before they adopt it - and for that, the first order of business is going multilingual. The second order of business will be to beef up the species accounts for those honors that feature various species. | + | :2) This Wiki Answer Book is actually the most updated honors resource in the world. It is comprised of volunteers within the Pathfinder community who are constantly updating the content and keeping it to the day. If you are referring to the previous [https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book Wikibooks] version, that is the old site and is no longer maintained. There is a message on the front page stating that it was moved to this Wiki. |
| − | ::I plan to add some hooks to the species account template so that we can tag each page that uses it with a set of regions where that species is endemic. We will then be able to create dynamic pages based on that information, and specific to a given area. After all that is in place, it's just a matter of adding species (which is a huge task, but should not be technically difficult).
| |
| − | ::I know I said that it would be the second order of business, but we have all the pieces we need to make that happen now without any involvement from our provider. So there might be some work on that sooner rather than later. For the multilingual effort, I may have to have a sit-down, face-to-face working session with the provider. I will try to get the ball moving without that, as it will be very difficult to make that happen before March. But if I can make it happen sooner, I will.
| |
| − | ::The GC is very interested in this wiki project, and it came up at Oshkosh when the 12 division heads of youth ministries met. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that would happen when I started this back in 2005. :-) They have people who are ready to translate the wiki into Russian, and are just waiting for the infrastructure to be created. So that is a very exciting development, and of course, it makes it a priority. That said, things often move with less speed than I would prefer, so we must be patient, but keep pressing forward.
| |
| − | ::I will install the wiki software on my machine at home and give the translate extension a spin. If I can get it to work here, that will go a long way towards easing the NAD's server into the upgrade. I'll keep you posted! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 21:22, 1 September 2014 (EDT)
| |
| | | | |
| − | :::Wow ... so there's a bit to be done. No matter, all will be done in its time. I think that if the NAD really wants to make this site able to serve their population, Spanish and French translations are a must. The NAD has always seemed biased to only serving the English-speaking members, even though I know they do not do so with any malice or intention. They provide all investiture curriculum and much material in those two languages as well, so it would only be natural for the wiki to be provided in them also. | + | :I hope that helps clarify some things for you. If you still have some doubts, express them here and myself and others will answer to the best of our knowledge! --[[User:W126jep|w126jep]] ([[User talk:W126jep|talk]]) 00:58, 26 May 2019 (EDT) |
| | | | |
| − | :::It's good to know that the GC is interested, it makes sense if we would like to do a multilingual format. I have seen the Russian wiki page and they have very good material. It's exciting that the division heads are talking about the wiki and wanting to make it available to all the world.
| |
| | | | |
| − | :::I guess I will continue to be patient and wait to see what the uppers decide. I just really want to start providing resources and translations; there are many clubs I work with who are eager to be able to find support in Spanish. --[[User:W126jep|w126jep]] 11:24, 2 September 2014 (EDT)

| − | :I have installed the latest wikimedia software on my laptop (1.23.3), but have not yet been successful at importing the archived wikidata into it. The problem is that the archive file is 580Megs, and 20M is considered pretty big. I adjusted the apache2 server to allow up to 1G file sizes, and allow up to 5 minutes for a file to load, but my browser timed out on me before it could finish. I can probably use some other method since I do have shell access to my laptop. I just need to be careful about needing shell access on the NAD server. But I should quit working on it tonight, or I will not be able to turn my brain off and go to sleep later. Must. Decompress. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 22:53, 2 September 2014 (EDT)
| + | == E-Honors == |
| − | ::The import into the test wiki seems to be working, but it is very slow. It has been running for over an hour and is just now finishing the A's. At this rate, it's going to take a full day to populate the database from the XML dump. There are faster (but more difficult to use) tools, and I am regretting my choice at the moment. But patience!
| |
| − | ::Meanwhile, I found some [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate decent] [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Page_translation_example tutorials] on the Translate Extension. Anyone who is interested in doing translation work should take a look at these. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 19:51, 3 September 2014 (EDT)
| |
| − | :::I ran over the tutorials and it looks pretty straight forward and easy with the extension. It mentioned that the wiki could have translation administrators (I guess that means one has to be authorized) or accessible for everyone to translate. Which one is being leaned towards?
| |
| − | ::::That's something we will have to play with, but it would be crazy to not have you as a translation admin. Also, I lean towards opening things up to registered users, and deal with problems as they arise rather than preventing participation because I'm afraid someone ''might'' do something bad. Open is good. It's what got us this far. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 22:31, 3 September 2014 (EDT)

| + | Hi there, |
| | + | It's been awhile since I have been on here. I noticed many conferences are setting up Online Pathfinder honors (Video/Slideshow) Some require registration and others are being uploaded on youtube, vimeo or other websites. I was wondering what would be the best option to have this linked into a list? Where Pathfinders can watch the video's with the registration link to the conference or something. I would love to talk more on this idea via e-mail or messenger or something else to brainstorm. |
| | | | |
| − | After a push on these Honors we are down to three incomplete honors, with about 11 total questions to still answer. We should keep plugging away at the remaining tough questions so we can put the whole category to 100% soon! Jomegat, (and anyone else) you want to look over the honors in this category and double check them for reasonableness and completeness? [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 16:22, 15 April 2014 (EDT)
| + | This is currently what is available online coming up. |

| + | :We've noticed this too, and we're exploring possibilities. If you look in [[User:Jomegat/Do at home]] we have a list we're building of honors that can be done at home. That index is in my user space right now because it's not ready for prime-time. We might feature the index on the main page, or we might create a dedicated page for it. I'd love to hear any ideas you have - you can just put ideas on this page if you want, or even prototype something in your own user space and we could discuss it there.. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] ([[User talk:Jomegat|talk]]) 16:39, 12 April 2020 (EDT) |

| − | These honors are getting close to finished too. I brought all 9 ADRA honors back into the navigation system and have nearly finished off the ACS honors now. Peacemaker and Advanced are outstanding. African American Adventist Heritage in NAD and Advanced are the main sticklers. Be real nice to get these to 100% too. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 16:22, 15 April 2014 (EDT)
| + | :: What I'm wondering is I currently have a facebook group active but the amount of Honor's being videoed by different conferences is starting to become a lot. Like 3 conferences have done Peacemaking, 2 have done firesafety. There is about 20 so far in video's, with this pandemic going for awhile. I could see more and more conferences designing new video's. I know our conference is talking about it. What I am wondering is should these video's be merged into here somehow or would it be best to come up with another site all on Teaching (video's, powerpoint, etc) The video's do have registration links to the conference main site. Maybe link those video's back to here for the honor answer book. I'm just trying to figure out something to merge it all together. I'm open to any suggestions. The Calendar has been the best idea yet for whats coming. But I'm still kinda lost on a video database for the honors. I am thinking of a streaming setup for the videos. Just not sure where to start. |

| − | I believe that the childcare honor is incorrectly catagorized in this wiki. The background of the patch matches Outreach not Health and Science which is were it sits now. It also seems a better fit in outreach along side sign language and other service oriented honors. I do not know how to move it. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 16:41, 18 May 2013 (EDT)
| + | Hi all, |
| − | :You were right. The GC has it categorized with Outreach. The NAD always put these under "Division" honors which I never liked. I had to guess which one it was way back when the wiki was set up, and I got it wrong. I have moved it. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]]
| |
| | | | |
| − | http://www.investitureachievement.org/wiki/index.php/Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Outreach/Cultural_Heritage may be incorrectly categorized as well. It is a gray background reflecting its inclusion in Heritage. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 06:15, 20 May 2013 (EDT)
| + | My name is Pr Phil Yates from the Greater Sydney Conference (where I am one of the Youth Director and Pathfinder Director for the conference). I am so appreciative for THIS Pathfinder Website, it has helped and continues to help all of use Pathfinder Leaders down under in Australia and New Zealand. |
| − | :The Heritage category does not yet officially exist, even though there are some honors that have been approved and are in that category. I don't think that situation will change until next February at the earliest. I don't think we should move any existing honors into it until the NAD makes a decision. I can well imagine several honors that belong here:
| |
| − | *All the "Lore" honors
| |
| − | *African American Heritage in the NAD & Advanced
| |
| − | *Anything else with "heritage" in the title.
| |
| − | :I think the greyness of its background is an artifact of photography rather than an intentional color change. As far as I know, there are no honor patches yet with an intentionally grey background. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 17:47, 3 June 2013 (EDT)

| |
| − | ::Another complication is that the Cultural Heritage honor is an SPD honor, so the NAD doesn't really have a say in what color its background is, or what category it belongs to. Has the SPD adopted a Heritage category? --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 17:49, 3 June 2013 (EDT)

Confused yet? I'm half a mind to earn it and order it from somewhere and be surprised by the color-my wife (and kids) are native from Borneo so if I do the research for her area the answers will make total sense, not so much so for British Columbia where we don't have traditional wear or bride prices.

| − | :::I moved it. Along the top of the screen is a "down" triangle next to the "View history" tab. That contains a "move" feature. I made it leave a redirect behind in case anyone has bookmarked it in its old place. I also updated the Outreach & A&C pages to move the honor, and updated the master index on the main AYHAB page as well. Oops - I still need to change the category in the honor header, but I'll do that in a second... --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 18:51, 15 April 2014 (EDT)

| − | :::I could, but I'd rather teach you how to do it. First step is to download the photo to your computer. Then look for the "Upload file" link in the left pane of most any page on the wiki and click it. Browse to the copy of the image on your PC, come up with a file name for the wiki, in this case "Dressmaking_Honor.png", assuming your downloaded copy is a .png file. If it's not, you could either convert it, or you could name it Dressmaking_Honor.jpg (or whatever) and change the honor to use that instead of the old one. There is a pulldown menu where you can select the license, and the correct choice there is the "PF insignia" one. That's pretty much it. It might complain about the file already existing, but you should be able to override that. Let me know if these instructions were sufficient! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 23:28, 4 June 2013 (EDT)

| − | I would organize it so that every species was on a different page, and could be added to several categories depending on where they live. In other words, we could have an entry for Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), and it would belong to regional categories for all 50 US states, plus the Canadian provinces where it grows, etc. It would belong to a single category for its species or genus, and that category would belong to its own family category, which would belong to its order, etc.

| − | For Edible Wild Plants, we could add edibility categories (edible tuber, edible greens, etc - as per the EWP honor requirements).
| |
| − | | |
| − | With all these categories set up, it would be a piece of cake to then create a dynamic field guide for a given area and subject. By using templates, each species could be presented in a uniform way (which we already do).

| − | :I don't have the Wiki skills to set it up, but it sounds like a good plan. Would we be duplicating an existing online effort? Would this detract from completing answers for remaining unfinished honors? [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 00:29, 17 June 2013 (EDT)

| − | ::It might be better to do this at Wikibooks instead of here. They already have some of the meat but not much in the way of bones. In other words, they have articles grouped by major categories (birds, reptiles, etc) but do not have the category system in place. I have a lot of printed field guides, and every single one of them is aimed at a particular region. To create a universal FG we would ''have'' to be able to narrow it down by region. I'll think about this some more before acting. Maybe, I'll think about it for a long time. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 08:06, 17 June 2013 (EDT)

| − | :::This sounds like a massive job and duplicative of the printed field guides in existence. I just came back from a trip - much of it without internet access. Tried to ID some flowers and trees and really wished I'd brought a field guide. Practically field guides are meant to be taken to the field so they don't work well online.

| − | :You weren't doing anything wrong, it was me. A while back, when anyone would click the upload tool at Wikibooks, it would upload an image to the WB wiki. Later, they switched it so that images would be loaded to the Commons by default instead. I first answered this honor on Wikibooks before they made the switch, so the upload went to WB instead of the Commons. I'll move it here, and everything should work. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 08:40, 19 June 2013 (EDT)

Wikibooks Pathfinder Honor Answers Update and Updated Honors Workbook
Hello all,
2 questions:
1) I have 2 honors workbook, one from 2000 (or so) and one from 2014. However, there have been some new honors added since 2014 (i.e. Mobile Technology honor, in 2016). Is there an updated honor workbook coming to include the newer honors from 2014 onward, such as the Mobile Technology honor (and others)?
2) The current Wikibooks Pathfinder Honor Answers website isn't updated to reflect a lot of the newer honors, even the 2014 Honors book. Will the Wikibooks website be updated anytime soon?
If we are to broaden our young people's minds and help them grow, us leaders to keep up with the pace and bring everything up-to-date.
Thanks for the reply!
~ Kris
- Hi Kris and welcome to the Wiki! Great questions. Here are my responses, you might get other responses from others too:
- 1) The two workbooks you have, are they from the General Conference or from AdventSource? I ask because the GC Honors has not been updated since their last 2014 edition. However, AdventSource prints material specifically for the North American Division and usually has their material up to date, according to the NAD. I would not know when the GC plans to update their material, especially since Andrés Peralta took over as the new world leader for clubs and is still trying to learn as much as he can. Many times the GC & NAD requirements can differ, so that might also be a discrepancy you also see; this wouldn't necessarily mean one is outdated, only that different versions exist according to their region.
- 2) This Wiki Answer Book is actually the most updated honors resource in the world. It is comprised of volunteers within the Pathfinder community who are constantly updating the content and keeping it to the day. If you are referring to the previous Wikibooks version, that is the old site and is no longer maintained. There is a message on the front page stating that it was moved to this Wiki.
- I hope that helps clarify some things for you. If you still have some doubts, express them here and myself and others will answer to the best of our knowledge! --w126jep (talk) 00:58, 26 May 2019 (EDT)
E-Honors
Hi there,
It's been awhile since I have been on here. I noticed many conferences are setting up Online Pathfinder honors (Video/Slideshow) Some require registration and others are being uploaded on youtube, vimeo or other websites. I was wondering what would be the best option to have this linked into a list? Where Pathfinders can watch the video's with the registration link to the conference or something. I would love to talk more on this idea via e-mail or messenger or something else to brainstorm.
This is currently what is available online coming up.

- We've noticed this too, and we're exploring possibilities. If you look in User:Jomegat/Do at home we have a list we're building of honors that can be done at home. That index is in my user space right now because it's not ready for prime-time. We might feature the index on the main page, or we might create a dedicated page for it. I'd love to hear any ideas you have - you can just put ideas on this page if you want, or even prototype something in your own user space and we could discuss it there.. --Jomegat (talk) 16:39, 12 April 2020 (EDT)
- What I'm wondering is I currently have a facebook group active but the amount of Honor's being videoed by different conferences is starting to become a lot. Like 3 conferences have done Peacemaking, 2 have done firesafety. There is about 20 so far in video's, with this pandemic going for awhile. I could see more and more conferences designing new video's. I know our conference is talking about it. What I am wondering is should these video's be merged into here somehow or would it be best to come up with another site all on Teaching (video's, powerpoint, etc) The video's do have registration links to the conference main site. Maybe link those video's back to here for the honor answer book. I'm just trying to figure out something to merge it all together. I'm open to any suggestions. The Calendar has been the best idea yet for whats coming. But I'm still kinda lost on a video database for the honors. I am thinking of a streaming setup for the videos. Just not sure where to start.

Online Honor Videos
Hi all,
My name is Pr Phil Yates from the Greater Sydney Conference (where I am one of the Youth Director and Pathfinder Director for the conference). I am so appreciative for THIS Pathfinder Website, it has helped and continues to help all of use Pathfinder Leaders down under in Australia and New Zealand.
I have started Online honors for the Australian Union Conference and am presenting honors for the British Union Conference due to this COVID-19 lockdown everywhere - below is the YouTube Channel.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQLzp8Fp2QbMXY8keb5rrYg?view_as=subscriber
Along with this I do a worksheet and Certificate, once the Pathfinders have show evidence of completion.
We have found that a lot of clubs across Australia are using it in there Pathfinder Zoom Meeting and Pathfinders are doing the Honors in there spare time.
This channel is still in its infancy as I have only completed 5 honors - I am planning to release an honor every week.
What I have done so far has received great feedback.
Below is the dropbox with the sample worksheet and certificate.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0marrqlhy2emf8b/AACuCNbWy5kUyQ11S6jmUCCGa?dl=0
I would be interested in you feedback.
I would also be keen to help you all as much as I can.
Blessings to all
Phil
