====Osiris linear Drag====
 
{{Quote|Found the reason the Osiris wasn't showing up in the generator, shiparch.ini is missing linear_drag for it, which should be forwarded to the Devs as a bug. I'm assuming it to be 1 now, since it is 1 for all other ships. The tool you requested is now ready to use as well. (All types of content generation can now be found at http://www.cshake.homeip.net/flwiki/, I set up a selection redirect page there. If you could update the sidebar that would be cool.) -cshake 23:11, 3 October 2009 (MDT) }}

====Content Errors====

The Hornviper MK I and MK II are both listed as beeing sold on Red Hessian bases by the content generator. FLstat disagrees [http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67086&st=2]. I have verified this using FLstat. [[User:Tazuras|Tazuras]] 12:02, 4 May 2010 (MDT)
====Weapons Template:====
 
{{Quote|I had some time this morning, so I decided to code the individual weapon pages generator. It's all working with the templates and everything except one large issue - Template:Weapon main doesn't allow for tables in the sell location field. I'd really like to use the same format for buying locations as with commodities, etc, with the spoiler header and collapsible/searchable table. Is it possible in any way to make the template allow for tables, or what should I do? Thanks -cshake (feedback-contribs) 10:28, 9 October 2009 (MDT) }}
 
{{Quote|The problem is we are making a '''wikitable''' inside a '''template'''. Inside templates, the <nowiki>"|"</nowiki> character is a "new field" or "break-command" depending on syntax. To be able to make a table inside a template, we need to use another non-exiting-template inside the root-template. This is <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki> for each <nowiki>|</nowiki> character. 
 
  
To make it more readable for people, you can also use <nowiki>{{!!}}</nowiki> where there are two <nowiki>||</nowiki>. Either method works. ''In the example below you'll have to add Owner as well since this was an early table version.'' [[User:Chovynz| ~Chovynz~ ]]}}

Will change often, if it looks weird or has ugly looking output, I'm probably working on it while you're using it. Leave me a message here if you're unsure if it's producing something usable.

idea: disclaimer

Quite often I try to explain the tech chart to new players and get 'i read it on the wiki' as the response. Prehaps add a disclaimer as part of the template for ships and weapons basicly saying to read the tech chart for the server being used rather than relying on the wiki as an accurate source.
