* GTS on pages is rather dumb and very slow to load.  Can we get rid of them? --red_cactus (saying this at risk of lots o' flames.)

** I concur. It's pointless, slow, and ugly. If you really want it, make everyone download the GTS font and use its unicode characters. But I don't want it at all.--[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]]
I'd like to suggest a new logo for the wiki. The existing one looks so 2005. Here's one simple, quick and dirty suggestion of mine:
** Well I only added cause I thought it would get people more familiar with the characters so when in game they would know what they meant. If you all really don't like it feel free to remove the images from the database and remove the coding, but I won't be the one to do it. --[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] 11:43, 29 Jun 2005 (CST)

* MediaWiki 1.5? Sidebar editing! Mmmm. Please? --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 08:37, 29 Jun 2005 (CST)
I spent some time wandering through some of the special pages, and this is what I found:
** Yes please, I've been asking about this for the past few weeks, both Moofed and I looked into it, but if they have an update for it get it Lemming!! --[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] 11:43, 29 Jun 2005 (CST)
* [[:Category:Deprecated]]
* Per Rogue's suggestion, most of the intro paragraphs have been moved to before the TOC, keep an eye out for any that have been missed. --[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]]
** The only other deprecated page is [[Bots:Frigate]], which contains very little content. Can't any "historical" information be merged with the HAC page?  Then the Deprecated category won't be necessary.
* Categories: My suggestion is that the categories should reflect more what is already grouped on the main page. Instead of just ingame databases, activities, etc. I would suggest that they fall under a scheme of: General, Game Info., Passive Activities, Aggressive Activities, User Interface and Misc., this just ties things together more IMO to the main page, which is grouped nicely and is easy to understand. Why make people remember two different category schemes? --[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] 15:21, 30 Jun 2005 (CST)
* [[Special:Wantedpages]] - see bugs section below.
**Actually, I'd reccommend instead a heiracheral (sp?) system instead with the top level being "General", "Passive Activities", "Game User Interface", "Game Info", "Aggressive Activities" and "Miscellaneous". Inside those categories would be further categories matching each of the entries to those categories on the main page. IE: The General category would contain subcategories "FAQ", "Rules", "IRC", etc. Those subcategories would contain the actual pages. That way the category system would exactly match the site layout. The current categorization is based off of matching (very closely) the former main page layout. --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 16:10, 30 Jun 2005 (CST)
* [[Current events]] seems more out of date than ever.  I've made my case for it's deletion in [[Talk:Current events]].
** I'm shocked, SHOCKED, to say this but, that is exactly what I had in mind in the first place rogue, if only [[User:Lemming|Lem]][[User:Miharu|Haru]] would agree to it. --[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] 16:17, 30 Jun 2005 (CST)
* [[Special:Uncategorizedpages]]:
**Pretty late at night over here, so I'll think it all through tomorrow morning. But, if I get the gist of it, sounds good. If you need to get my opinion on something you can either [mailto:ninjashark@gmail.com e-mail] me or use memoserv on IRC to leave me a message, either way I'll get it. (e-mail is more likely to get noticed sooner though) Also, in case you care, editor pages are on my list of things to redo.
** [[CWTOM]] appears to be a work of fiction.
** [[Capital ships]], while mostly correct, doesn't seem necessary.  It seems like the description should be moved the the [[Ships#Capital_Ships]] section, where it will be seen and can act as an introduction to Cap Ships. (Currently you have to click on a specific cap ship to find a link to the general description -- isn't that backwards?)
** [[Docking bay]] seems like there is nothing similar to it.  Maybe it's contents should be moved into the FAQ, which talks about docs anyway?
And again, I know I'm probably ruffling someone's feathers with some of these comments, but I'm just looking to start a discussion.  If I'm shot down, so be it. --[[User:Klox|Klox]] November 19, 2005 05:12 (CST)

Hmm, no opinions?  I'd love to at least clean up some of the more benign issues, but I'm not a sysop so I can't delete.  Are there any sysops that want to help me with this cleanup, or better yet, does Lemming want to make me a sysop so I don't need to bug other sysops? --[[User:Klox|Klox]] 23:35, 3 December 2005 (CST)
** Mark pages for deletion in their Discussion and I'll take care of it. If I agree with you. But I don't entirely.
*** [[CWTOM]] and [[Capital ships]] can't be deleted. Apparently, there's a lot of offline content for those that needs toe be updated sometime.
*** Ditto for [[Bots:Frigate]]. That page isn't actually about a HAC, just something that looks like one...
 
Hmm...well... [[Bots:Frigate]], and everything associated with [[CWTOM]] is the bulk of my list.  So I guess that means we'll just leave them alone.  I don't really understand your reasons for keeping them, but I don't care to argue the point.  As I said in my initial post, "so be it".  --[[User:Klox|Klox]] 23:13, 12 December 2005 (EST)

Could we get an updated section of the wiki for iPhone and Android platforms? There are some different controls for things like plotting a jump around ion storms (PC version of Shift key doesn't work) and other stuff such as the newest skins available and what is required such as jailbreaking.

*Category changes are a tad bit odd. For example, the category IngameDatabases still shows two pages as being in it that aren't in it anymore. This might be a caching issue...

Tip! Hit that nice "random page" button over on the left, there. That'll take you to a random page, and if you see any syntax errors or such, fix 'em!
If you need to fool around with stuff, do so in the sandbox.
