Check the "See also" section for more info as well.
Also Igiss, what about image uploading? Can it be turned on, plz?:P
Wiki - Feedback Thread - looqas - 08-13-2008
So have we reached any consensus about the style and format on the pages?
Huyng could shoulder the responsibility and edit the Editing help page to reflect the decisions which are then to become de-facto style (unless something crucial is found). I'd like to see also links to example pages (templates) about systems and bases etc.
I'm pretty busy now and I can't see when that will stop so I'll try to pitch in something once in a while.

Yus. Just help when you can or want to. The pile will still be there when I'm dead and long gone.
Page titles should be All First Letters Caps.
Use any method of linking you like (pipelining or redirects.)
New London System and Planet New London
Full names of bases stations facilitys etc.
Headings on the page can be "First Letter caps and the rest is not" for
ease of all the wiki editors proper out there. That isnt really a big deal
although I prefer first "Letter Capsd of Nouns and Pronouns Headings."
If someone has time we'll do something about that in the future.
IU vs OOU hasnt been decided upon yet, so for now we leave it as is.
Although I am set up that Rheinland to make it consistent with the other
houses, and have a link to Federal Republic on the Rheinland somewhere.
Examples pages sound good (or already done pages that have the usage already.
I think we are all pretty busy. I'm relaxed about the whole thing. The work is getting done.

I hearby name Blodo:
Chief High muckamuck Overlord of Wiki Extraordinare, Igiss Approval Pending
For his outstanding work on the Wiki. Hearby pronounced "Chmoweiap"
He knows more than I.
As such, I must relinquish Dictatorship Control over to him.
:bows to Blod...Chmoweiap:
Wiki - Feedback Thread - Blodo - 08-14-2008
Noes! Stay as dictator, I'm just the one doing templates for stuff and hoping everybody else catches on to what I am doing:P
Either way, I'm finishing a write up of the Gas Miners Guild, and I'm going to be doing Red Hessians after that. I think Dusty Lens is doing a detailed one on Interspace Commerce. Plenty of factions for you lot to grab! Use this: http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php/NPC_Factions
I'm going to try and do a fair bit of bases also. If anybody could pick up migrating the freighters, transports and capital ships to the new ship template, that would be awesome.
Wiki - Feedback Thread - chovynz - 08-14-2008
Ok. I take the Dictator Throne again.
Slave Blodo, you are to be congratulated on your hard work.
Slave Looqas, fourty lashes to Blodo. Make him work faster.
/silly
Ok. No...thats cool, the templates will catch on. You're doing a great job.
I'll certainly be using them. Feel free to move on to other things if you want, I can do the ships, following your format.
Wiki - Feedback Thread - MarvinCZ - 08-18-2008
Hello, people!
It's nice to see you all content and the styles pretty much agreed upon on my return...
All hail Lord Hyung!
All hail Blodo the Mastermind!
/praise
I may get a few free minutes on internet this week (I'm still on holiday), I could spend them by adding templates to ship articles.
Will you mind me prowling about the redirects and piping links to them to the intended pages? So people can use their way but I will "correct" it to direct links...
Wiki - Feedback Thread - chovynz - 08-19-2008
MarvinCZ: Go for it.
Everyone: In regards to the 'overall House space pages' (Rheinland, Kusari, Liberty, Bretonia, etc...) please leave these
pages alone. Praetyre and I are working through the inconsistencies (which are few now) and will have those
pages sorted out in due time.
Also I think we need to finalise styles and things. People are still doing their own styles, which means one of us
'in the know' has to 'fix' their work to be consistent with the rest of the wiki. I prefer people doing it the 'right
way', the first time, by themselves, instead of having to correct them at a later date.
If there are inconsistencies between pages and subjects, please either fix them, or if they are too big
with other related things (like with Rheinland overall page) report them in this thread. I'll make a to do
list that we can get to work on and use massive amounts of strikethrough text.
Re: Wiki style Guide Can you guys give me suggestions on what you want to see in the style guide?
Wiki - Feedback Thread - looqas - 08-19-2008
* Clear examples of wiki page name convention
* Example pages to at least
- faction
- system
- base
- commodity
- ships (I think they are in best shape now)
- misc page (if we have a template for it)
* Use categories
* and over all simple quide lines like do we write wiki link names in text with caps.
That's what I'd like to see.
Wiki - Feedback Thread - chovynz - 08-20-2008
Made a start on the guide.
http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php/Style_Guide
Instead of changing the Guide directly, please discuss and suggested changes first.
