What can I do
Broken ship links
After successfully transferring all of the pages and images to the new wiki, it was discovered that the version of MediaWiki that we are using has a bug in the handling of namespaces. The handling works fine for people who are logged in, but those that were not logged in would be presented with a red link that would send them to an edit page. To bypass this problem I moved all of the ship pages, before the links to these pages would look like "Ships:Centurion" and "Ships:Vulture", now they simply look like "Centurion" and "Vulture". If you come across a link that goes to a ship page and contains "Ships:" in the link, please remove it from the link.
Outdated Information
Due to the prolonged amount of time the wiki went without being able to be edited, several releases were made and much information is sure to be outdated. If you can, please check the in-game stats to the stats in the wiki and update them. Most notably, the ships pages tend to get outdated, along with the ChangeLog page.
ChangeLog is now back up-to-date. -- Beolach 21:46, 20 Apr 2005 (CST)
Also removed Ships: from everything that linked to Ships:EC, Ships:Centurion, Ships:Vulture, Ships:Warthog, Ships:Hornet, Ships:Wraith, Ships:Atlas, Ships:Centaur, Ships:Ragnarok, Ships:Behemoth, Ships:Valkyrie, Ships:Marauder, and Ships:Prometheus. Do we also need to change Ships:Data & Ships:General? -- Beolach 22:43, 20 Apr 2005 (CST)
I changed the ships:data page to ship class table and the ships:general page to general ship table, and changeed the links to them in the ships page. The ships page was the only page that linked to them, so as long as people link to the new pages, everything should be fine. --Lemming 06:46, 21 Apr 2005 (CST)
Special Pages
If you're looking for something to work on in the wiki, there's a few Special Pages that can help you find things to work on.
- Old pages Shows older pages, that could possibly contain out-of-date information.
- Wanted pages Shows pages that are linked to, but do not yet exist. Create these pages, or else edit the pages that link to them to link somewhere else, if a different, existing page would be more appropriate.
- Uncatagorized Pages Currently, nothing in the wiki is catagorized; but I (Beolach) am going to start doing so. If you'd like to help, this special page can show you what hasn't been catagorized yet.
Requests
Do you have an awesome idea for the wiki, but you don't have the time, knowledge, or resources to create such a page? Then by all means, please place your idea below so that someone else can work on it!
- A section listing the available text commands within the game and their uses (e.g. /join, /group, /msg, etc.). I will begin work on this if I have time. --jdigital 19:11, 26 Apr 2005 (CST)jdigital
- That shouldn't be too hard considering this. Remember that it goes in Binds and should be categorized as such. --Roguelazer
