== Add Characters Category ==

Could we add a Category for Characters so I can document the Character creation process? Thx // Khaliban

I just verified you but I think that's not enough to get past the page protection. Should it be under "Game Info"? --[[User:Mr spuck|Mr spuck]] 15:05, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm open to suggestions. Being new here I don't have strong opinions on the organization yet, just on the lack of updated info. -- [[User:Khaliban|Khaliban]] 15:46, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

== Serco Dominion Wiki ==

Could we possibly get a link on this page to the sercodominion.org wiki like the VPR have theirs? that would be fantastic!

--[[User:Espionage|Espionage]] 11:55, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

:k ..why not. Can you think of a better blurb?--[[User:Mr spuck|Mr spuck]] 18:59, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Well, we're not the official wiki, it says on the homepage the unofficial wiki so that should probably change, otherwise it's fine I doubt somebody is going to go to the effort to make ANOTHER site for the Serco since i'm happy to accept any contributions so saying the unofficial wiki for the Serco Dominion is fine. --[[User:Espionage|Espionage]] 14:41, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

== imagerotate ==

If anyone has any idea how to use the imagerotate script from the old wiki here, please speak up.

To fix the toc, just add a line that reads as tr.tocindent { text-align : left; } to the bottom of the CSS file. --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 15:37, 9 Mar 2005 (CST)

What about the change display, when you look at what was changed rogue, how can that be fixed?<br>

--[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] 18:28, 9 Mar 2005 (CST)

Huh? Both [[Special:Recentchanges]] and history work fine here. Are you seeing some sort of bug there? --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 19:09, 9 Mar 2005 (CST)

It was changed by Lemming

== Centralizing statistics ==

OK, as there are several different places that show various equipment statistics, and several of them are now out-of-sync with each other as stats are being tweaked with each patch, I'm curious if anyone knows if it would be possible to have one centralized place to keep statistics of ships, weapons, etc; and have all the other places that display stats pull the info from the cetralized location.

We'd do that with a Template. Just put the stuff in the template, then include it with curly brackets. Looks like <nowiki>{{template_name}}</nowiki>. If you wanna see an example, look at [[Template:Badges:playerkills]] and [[Badges]]. --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]]

== Random Image ==

What happened to the random image page? It still seems to be displaying images, but clicking on it results in a 404. Anybody know what happened? It was working a few days ago. --[[User:Jdigital|jdigital]] 20:18, 28 Apr 2005 (CST)

Fixed. --[[User:Lemming|Lemming]] 20:35, 28 Apr 2005 (CST)<br>

Of course when I say fixed, I mean the error in the code was fixed but the wiki will decide when to reflect the change. --[[User:Lemming|Lemming]]

== Forums ==

Hey Tyridum, no offense or anything, but aren't the forums rather redundant? Talk pages allow everything the forums do, plus no additional registration, plus they're associated with their subjects. I for one don't want to have to bother with yapf (yet another phpbb forum) just to handle wiki stuff...

<br>

Bah, didn't even notice these. I guess you're right, then. :-D --[[User:Tyrdium|Tyrdium]]

<br />

Yah, hard to see them, so far away from the article and edit tabs. --[[User:Lemming|Lemming]] 19:37, 10 May 2005 (CST)

== ook! ==

[http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?submitform=Find&category=30 Can anyone guess why this link is PARTICULARLY cool?]

* I added the plugin but I'm a bit unclear as to exactly what it does. Could you elaborate??

== Corner Image Update ==

PINK!!!!!???????

Come on, what are we powerpuff girls or something!! Make it red or blue or Gold, but PINK!!

--[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] 1 September 2005 16:55 (CST)

== New Logo ==

I ''really'' love the new Vwiki logo. Who made the switch? --[[User:Galadrix|Galadrix]] 22:18, 17 August 2006 (EDT)

I did, glad you like it. It took awhile to remove the background since I forgot to turn off backgrounds ingame, but I think it was worth the time. --[[User:Lemming|Lemming]] 00:47, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

== Images for Main Page Rotator ==

I've got some nice images for the Main_Page rotator. Care to put them on if you like, otherwise don't worry about it.

[[Image:HACexplode.png]]

[[Image:TeradonExplode.png]]

[[Image:Teradon_tani.png]]

I just found them lying around. --[[User:Galadrix|Galadrix]] 20:58, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

=="Plug-in" link in Game's User Interface==

Since we cannot edit the main page directly, it would be nice if one of the sysops/bureaucrats could add a link to the [[Plug-ins]] page in the Game's User Interface category. I'd gladly take care of filling that page with information and updating it, but I canna do the link work meself... - [[User:Ion|Ion]] 18:20, 18 July 2008 (EDT)

* It's there. I put it under General instead of GUI, since plug-ins can do a lot more than UI. If it's really important to you that it be under UI, post, and I'll reconsider. --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 19:45, 18 July 2008 (EDT)

** Thanks! And nah. I was confused, and yer right. General is where the link belongs. - [[User:Ion|Ion]] 21:21, 18 July 2008 (EDT)

*No, general is extremely confusing, because that contains information about THE GAME, not modifications to the UI of the game. The UI section is the right place for it, because plug-ins, by definition, can ONLY modify the UI. This was guaranteed by the dev's original choice to keep the logic-checking server side, making it impossible for someone to make a ship or item BEHAVE differently. Sure, you can control it differently, using plug-ins, but that's the DEFINITION of a UI modification. --[User:Person]] 8:46, 6 November 2008
