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.

See Templates for templates.

Progress Report

Awesome stuff that's being worked on:

  • I'm (attempting) to write some history of the cap ships. Woo. --red cactus
  • Main page is being re-organized.
  • Some of the weapons pages might have incorrect info.
  • Some of the ships have incorrect info. I've fixed some but they should all be checked. Especially the minimum faction requirements. -Obsidian
  • LeberMac is going to attempt a Deneb Run section of the wiki

Suggestions Place

Put here any ideas you have in passing to add to/change about the Wiki. (If you'd like, also sign your name so if the idea is implemented we can contact the original person for specifications and the like.)

  • Ship class table: In my opinion, this table is:
    • completely redundant (compared to the General ships table)
    • usually out of date (a third place to fix stats!)
    • pretty much useless (does anyone really look at this table and say "I want a medium fighter -- oh look! I'll use an Atlas MkIII!")

I know I'm sticking my neck out here, but I just wanted to start a discussion instead of deleting it on a whim. (Of course, if I don't get any feedback, I'll probably delete it.) --Klox November 11, 2005 03:15 (CST)

  • I'm actually gonna agree with you. We could stand to do some trimming of excess... --Roguelazer 2005-11-12 17:01:31 (CST)
  • I actually do look at it but I agree that it's yet another place to update, it would be nice if the info was able to be entered once and update all over, or have a way to sort charts but wiki is not that hip yet. If it must be deleted fine but I do use it. And it does have it's place. --Mark McDoogle 14 November 2005 23:59 (CST)
  • I agree and vote to axe it. --LostCommander 16 November 2005 9:53 (CST)
  • Mark, are there ways you use the Ship class table that can't be done with the General ships table? (Maybe there's something we can do with the General table to serve that purpose?) --Klox November 19, 2005 03:34 (CST)
  • I'll restate them, but they can not be done easily. Make the charts into databases that can be sorted by there particular column. This way if you are looking for a "cargo" varient vs a "assault" varient it's easier to see. But again, this would take a lot of work to do, and I'm not sure if it's at all possible in a wiki enviornment. --Mark McDoogle 15:42, 5 December 2005 (CST)
    • As I've said before, it could be done. Just not easily. Hell of an extension, that would be. --Roguelazer 21:02, 5 December 2005 (CST)

I spent some time wandering through some of the special pages, and this is what I found:

  • Category:Deprecated
    • 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.
  • Special:Wantedpages - see bugs section below.
  • Current events seems more out of date than ever. I've made my case for it's deletion in Talk:Current events.
  • Special:Uncategorizedpages:
    • CWTOM appears to be a work of fiction.
    • Capitalships and Capitalships history are useless.
    • 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. --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? --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". --Klox 23:13, 12 December 2005 (EST)

Extension request

Could you install the ParserFunctions extension? I'm interested in creating some templates for over on racecar to help standardize entry of information, but I need the functionality provided by this extension.--Draugath 09:18, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

kihjin

Wikilicious

Lemming

Well, I'm going to significantly cut back on my work on the wiki. This is so I can pursue knowledge that will provide use later in life, unlike what goes on during school.

Mark McDoogle

I do whatever needs being done, trying to add any missing material, and trying to gather as much imagery as I can to make the site more interesting.

LostCommander

Make the wiki better.

Miharu

Capital Ships is a section jointly written by CrippledPidgeon, MarkMcDoogle and me. Look but do not touch. Any revisions made by someone other than CP, Mark or myself will be discarded. This section is planned to have:

  • A manual for operations of capital warships, including systems and tactics (currently being written)
  • A short manual for attacking capital warships (this I may leave open for everyone else)
  • A history of capital ships in Vendetta Online
  • Anything else CP, Mark and I can think of while we're working on it.

Moofed

cat /dev/urandom

I will also get around to reformatting and finishing up Missions at some point in the near future.

red cactus

Relaxin'. Well, and now trying to write up some history of the cap ships.

Roguelazer

  • Fixing/creating random CSS bugs
  • Clicking "Random Page" and fixing whatever crops up
  • Categorizing stuff!
  • Taking lots of new, high-resolution screenshots

silentsuicide

Waiting for MySQL errors to pop Lemmings bubble. :>

The_Kid

No written agenda at this time.

Woodstock

helping update the trade goods listing from the July 29 changes.

Andy Spades

Only wanted his guild to appear in the wiki but then slowly started to edit, correct, complete and sometimes f__k up things he thinks he knows about. And now that Lemming was so nice to go through the trouble of giving him permissions he feels even more obliged to help make the wiki better.
Currently drafting a reorganization of the plugins page, which is quite messed up, incomplete and very user- and newb-friendly. Also one of those hyperactive people who click the "Random page" link.
