Awesome stuff that's being worked on:
*I'm (attempting) to write some [[Capitalships_history | history]] of the cap ships. Woo. --red cactus
* 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.)
----
* 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 d like it feel free to remove the images from the database and remove the coding, but I won't be suggest a new logo for the wiki. The existing one to do it. --[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] 11:43, 29 Jun looks so 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 thatHere's gonna need the bugging of Tyrdium. --[[User:Lemming|Lemming]]*** Ahone simple, 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 quick 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 dirty suggestion, most of the intro paragraphs have been moved to before the TOC, keep an eye out for any that have been missed. --[[Usermine: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? --[[Userhttps: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"//www. 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@gmaildropbox.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. /jmoty4jgwnm70h6/vo--[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] 6 July 2005 16:13 (CST)----* [[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 whimwiki_logo_1. (Of course, if I don't get any feedback, I'll probably delete it.) --[[User:Klox|Kloxpng Logo Suggestion Ver1]] November 11, 2005 03:15 (CST)* I'm actually gonna agree with you. We could stand to do some trimming of excess... --[[Userhttps:Roguelazer|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//www. If it must be deleted fine but I do use itdropbox. And it does have it'com/s place. /unyxxmci16iuegp/vo--[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] 14 November 2005 23:59 (CST)* I agree and vote to axe itwiki_logo_2. --[[User:LostCommander|LostCommanderpng Logo Suggestion Ver2]] 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?) --[[User:KloxAndy Spades|KloxAndy Spades]] November 19, 2005 0308:34 (CST)* I'll restate them59, 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. --[[User:MarkMcDoogle|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. --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 21:02, 5 December 2005 7 January 2013 (CSTUTC)

I spent some time wandering through some of the special pages, and this is what I found:
* [[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?
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)
----Okay, dear people from 2005, what the hell is it with these pages... locked, unused because useless, unedited since 2006... Can someone please just let them die in dignity? [[User:Andy Spades|Andy Spades]] 12:48, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
I propose that Could we remove all get an updated section of the old, outdated, small images, particularly those in important positions (ie: [[:Image:(s)valkyrie.jpg]], our main Valkyrie image) wiki for iPhone and replace them with higher-quality, higher-resolution images. The original problem of no thumbnails is made irrelevant by MediaWiki's automagic thumbnailing Android platforms? There are some different controls for things like plotting a jump around ion storms (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 PC version of smaller images is reduced disk space, which (correct me if IShift key doesn'm wrongt work) is not an issue. Using new images will also showcase and other stuff such as 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 newest skins available and actually see a larger version. Yes? No? --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 12:26, 25 June 2006 (EDT)----Can we have file uploads back? Please? Pretty please? --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 11:40, 15 May 2007 (EDT)<br/>Sorry about that, usually it what is better to either email me or bug me on irc, otherwise I might never see something like this. My email is ineedabettername at gmail dot comrequired such as jailbreaking. --[[User:Lemming|Lemming]]----* Hey Lemming, can you install the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> extension so we can have inline footnotes like Wikipedia has? It would help a number of pages I've been cleaning up, I think. --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 19:06, 25 March 2008 (EDT)=== Bugs ===
If you find any bugs with the Wiki (not syntax errors, but software bugs), post 'em here.
*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...
**Yah, if you log out/back in, it's all better. Probably a caching issue. So before you do anything with Categories, log out and back in.--[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]]
==== TOC ====
* Uhh, now that we're on 1.5, it's impossible to toggle TOCs. Like, huh? --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] July 2, 2005 15:42 (CST)
** Works for me on Safari and Deer Park (Firefox beta). I blame you. --[[User:Lemming|Lemming]] July 2, 2005 23:52 (CST)
** Doesn't work in Firefox 1.0.4. Where the "hide" button used to be, there's a button called "undefined" which does nothing when clicked. However, logging out and back in fixed it. Odd. But w/e!--[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 2005-07-04 17:00:38 (CST)
**Odd Rogue, Firefox 1.0.4 is the only app that the wiki doesn't have the problem in for me, when in safari logging out and back in does not fix the "undefined" error. But all weekend and today Firefox (mac) has worked great! --[[User:MarkMcDoogle|Mark McDoogle]] 5 July 2005 16:23 (CST)
***Perhaps it wasn't the login/logout. I also cleared my cache and deleted the wiki cookie at the same time. Perhaps it was some combination of the above? --[[User:Roguelazer|Roguelazer]] 2005-07-05 19:04:41 (CST)
==== Wanted Pages ====
The [[Special:Wantedpages]] page seems broken. It lists two "wanted pages" that aren't linked to by the pages it claims they are linked by. (Does that make sense?)
# Open the [[Special:Wantedpages]] page.
# Click on one of the two places it says (7 links).
# Click on any of the pages in the list and look for any pages that link to one of the "wanted pages".
# You won't find any. (At least I didn't.)
I wonder if one of the wanted pages used to be linked in the sidebar or footer and the wiki hasn't reindexed the page since the sidebar/footer changed? Editing one of the pages listed in step 3 removes it from the list, but that seems like a crude way to fix this.
--[[User:Klox|Klox]] November 19, 2005 04:38 (CST)
Weird, I'll try updating to the current version of MediaWiki and we'll see if that fixes anything. --[[User:Lemming|Lemming]] 20 November 2005 04:19 (CST)

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.<br />
Currently drafting a reorganization of the [[Plug-ins|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.
