The wiki update status

[Error]

After some work on the system template(s), all of the Wiki's system pages now have v4.88.1 navmaps on them from the game and FLC taken from here. They seem to be working like they should for all system pages, and should be easier to update and thus more reliable than the JG/JH location table.

Other news for v4.88 is that all the commodity and ID pages should be up-to-date, making us about 17% done for v4.88 with 461 pages updated so far. For those who are following along at home and want to help, we've also got a relatively new code generator guide and an intro page with useful guidelines and information for updating the Wiki on them.

EDIT: Feedback on those - and anything else Wiki-related, for that matter - is of course as welcome as ever. : )

Thanks for the guide, I will update pages as much as I can

Hello

i added the item "Moonshine" to the wiki, is that ok?

Gz ribase

Moonshine isn't a commodity which isn't actually sold if I remember right. I don't see why it'd be a bad idea, just put a disclaimer on the top that the commodity isn't actually available to buy and haul around. If Moonshine was to ever become a commodity, the page would be overwritten with the correct information anyways.

I don't see a problem with it, just get that disclaimer in so people don't get the wrong idea. The Wiki was made for content embracing both the server, and what the players make up after all.

That shouldn't be an issue; we've already got plenty of pages like these for RP commodities and items, but I'd suggest adding a description to it at some point as it doesn't really have much content on it right now beyond some sale locations and a name. I've added the Unfeatured template and removed the version and commodity disclaimer templates to clarify that it's not an in-game commodity.

Thanks! I wasn't sure how to add the disclaimer.

I've done a few more improvifications to the wiki over the last few days, such as quite a few Javascript additions, a bit of stylesheet cleaning and some changes to the front page.

The most important one to note out of these is that the editing pages for most base, weapon and ship pages now have a shiny new "Generate code" button that grabs a fresh copy of wiki code from the code generator and compares it to the current revision of the page. This allows for quick copying of images, reviews and links from the old revision before saving the page, which saves quite a few copy-pasting round trips the code generator web page when updating wiki pages. Do please remember to read through the code generator guide before using it, as usual.

We've also gone up to about 19% completion since last time, which is a nice improvement. : )

EDIT: We're now closer to 20%, and the code generator plugin now actually copies over all reviews plus the ship image on ship pages, and the base images on base pages, which should make updating the Wiki even easier than before. For ship/base pages it is now mostly a case of clicking the "Generate code" button, adding a few wikilinks and clicking save.

PS: )))))))))))))

EDIT2: We're now at about 27%, and the code generator plugin now /actually works/ on machines besides my own, sorry about that; had a little race condition in my script that I didn't notice before attempting to use it on a slightly faster/less busy computer.

how do you want the pics? as in a screen in cargo hold or in shop?

[ghostrunner]

Either way works, as long as I can pull the image and cut the commodity pic out.
Thank you.
