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.)

* 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]]
** 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)
** First, let me say, I am not against the GTS in the headers. But, the GTS in the headers creates large header names which leads to problems when viewing differences between versions. I think the GTS in the headers, while a good idea, should be removed.

* Fix the <nowiki><math></math></nowiki> tags --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 17:36, 7 Mar 2005 (CST)
** I think that's gonna need the bugging of Tyrdium. --[[User:Lemming|Lemming]]
*** Ah, okay. I'll see what I can do. --[[User:Tyrdium|Tyrdium]] 15:58, 8 May 2005 (CST)

* MediaWiki 1.5? Sidebar editing! Mmmm. Please? --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 08:37, 29 Jun 2005 (CST)
** 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)
** Now that we can edit the navigation box, can we stick the link for "editors main" under the link for main page? As well as Categories, or something called "Index" maybe?? --[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] July 4, 2005 21:32 (CST)

* 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]]
----
* 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)
**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)
** 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)
**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.
**So as far as categories go, we're pretty much there I guess now, but I have one small request. I really don't see the VO backstory as "misc. info", it's very important info. IMO, and should be both linked in and categorized as General Information. Other then that for the moment I think everything looks good. --[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] 6 July 2005 16:13 (CST)
----
* [[Ship class table]]: In my opinion, this table is:
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)

I propose that we remove all of the old, outdated, small images, particularly those in important positions (ie: [[:Image:(s)valkyrie.jpg]], our main Valkyrie image) and replace them with higher-quality, higher-resolution images. The original problem of no thumbnails is made irrelevant by MediaWiki's automagic thumbnailing (ie: [http://vo-wiki.com/wiki/images/thumb/0/08/Raptor.png/210px-Raptor.png this] for [[:Image:Raptor.png|this]]). Thus the only benefit of smaller images is reduced disk space, which (correct me if I'm wrong) is not an issue. Using new images will also showcase the new lighting model, which makes our wiki a better representation of the actual ingame universe- always a good thing. Finally, it just looks nicer when you can click on the image for a ship and actually see a larger version. Yes? No? --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 12:26, 25 June 2006 (EDT)
