Welcome to my Wiki talk page . Here you'll see conversations, discussions and various other guff. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions or replies! Complaints, concerns and friendly abuse are all welcome. Call me a Marshmellow and I'll stick pins in your sandals though.

If there is a specific topic you want to talk about, and it isn't already on here, then "make a new section".

Rheinland Military Page

For what it's worth, I agree with you that everything should be on the Rheinland Military page to avoid confusion. I thought I clicked something wrong at first when I was redirected. ~RogueCharlie

Outdated template usage

You should use the Outdated template only for ships that are displaying stats as of version 4.84. Do not use it for ships that are up to date but that have a uncompleted page. "Skatepro0 13:22, 18 June 2009 (MDT)"

I think it should also be used for ships that have an outdated description. I have completed a new template that can be used for pages that are simply incomplete: Template:Incomplete -Tazuras 15:55, 18 June 2009 (MDT)

Please continue this conversation on Discovery_Wiki:General_Discussion#Outdated_Template_usage. Thanks :) Chovynz 16:02, 18 June 2009 (MDT)

Tazurus "Chovynz To Do list"

Are these things only you can do or that others can? I think this is the type of content that is needed on the Discovery Wiki:TODO page or the Outdated Template could be added to some of them. -Tazuras 17:39, 17 June 2009 (MDT)

Well, anyone can do them. This is my personal list of things I want to do. I have no problem with other people doing them, Nor do I have a problem with people taking things from this list, or making their own. As the title says, it's Chovynz's To Do's. If yo uwant to take from here and put it in the "to be edited later" be my guest. This is my thinking out loud area without impinging on others. Chovynz 19:45, 17 June 2009 (MDT)

RepEx

Thanks for formatting RepEx's page. It needed it. It makes me happy. -Mwerte

No prob. It makes me happy too :) ~Chovynz~ ^{(Blabs • Ego)} 03:20, 26 July 2009 (MDT)

RE: Some little issues

Heya, thanks for the tips! I'm new to wiki editing and had no idea how to delete the page so just blanked it hoping it'd go away if it contained no data. I'll remember to use spoiler templates in the future; again I wasn't sure how to do that. --Bicko 05:57, 24 August 2009 (MDT)

Ships Editing

Hi, you said it's stupid not to ask, so i'm asking. Where do i get informations like: Power recharge, Ship price (just sell everything and multiply by 2 ?), Opt. weapon class. And finaly how about Reviews, i see part of them under Ship Infobox. May be make some Template for it? --Demoni 10:56, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Generator

I'm just waiting for input on three things for the ships page:

1. Is the name displayed over the image correct, or what should I change?
2. Do you approve of the added "Purchase Includes" section?
3. What page[s] should Gunboat and Cruiser forward turrets link to?

Thanks! -cshake 20:44, 1 October 2009 (MDT)

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)

Images to be replaced

For most of the ships there, the forum thread HQ Smooth Renders has a good .png version. Should we wait until .png support is available on the wiki, or maybe convert them to a 'standard' size .jpg with a 'standard' background color and updated the images? -cshake 20:47, 1 October 2009 (MDT)

Battlestar II

Page will need to get updated by you, since you know what you want to do exactly. "Skatepro0 19:35, 3 October 2009 (MDT)"

New Mod Changes

Ok, so it seems that with the new version, class 1 guns are now bomber torpedoes, while hp_torpedo_special_1 is still non-bomber torpedoes. We're gonna need a change of the ship template to accommodate different types of torps, and somehow indicate the difference in the CD/T section. -cshake 21:38, 4 October 2009 (MDT)

Specific questions:

1. Class 1 Guns are now Bomber-specific torpedoes, and Torpedoes are now Fighter-specific. I think this warrants a change of name for both pages.
2. Class 6 Guns are still guns, but are bomber-specific. Class 6 Turrets are the turret counterparts now. I've added comments about these two changes on the Ship Equipment page. I don't think that these warrant a change of page name.
3. For my ship generator, I'm counting the number of hardpoints that can mount either type of torpedo, and putting that in the CD/T template line. The CD line, as before, is filled with the number of hardpoints that can only mount CDs. To distinguish between the cases, I added the torpedo mount point to the Hardpoints list in the page, with each saying what it can mount.
4. Because of item #1, I want to know what the links for those hardpoints should point to, if the page names are changing.
5. If we are going to change the names of the torpedo pages, I figure we might as well add a new page for Gunboat and Cruiser forward guns while we're at it. This would also mean changing the links in my generator, which is why I'm waiting on input from you before giving the go-ahead for using the generator.

Unused Files

I was adding the delete template to some unused files when I though that it might have no use. I also removed 2 pictures from the picture that need to be replaced since they were not used. Those two pics were for the PTrans and the Kusari Train. Still, back to the unused files thing. My question is: Do you want me to continue adding the delete template to those I think really should be removed or you will do all the selection thing by yourself?

Weapon Pages

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)
