Ah, so you won't actually do anything on the wiki ? No editing?

No, just not for today...

I hope that won't be for others...of course, even I put the link in my signature, it might be like that...

Got Patience? If not, Got Milk?

I've got some free time tonight. Give me an article to fix up, and I'll see what I can do.

Trappin · « **Reply #29 on:** 11 June 2010, 04:25:44 »

Do I have milk? that makes no sense

ultifd · « **Reply #30 on:** 11 June 2010, 04:32:21 »

Yeah, sorry.

I could edit the Mods section I guess, but I don't feel like it. Tomorrow will be good though.

Hmm, probably the main page needs the most work, if you could contribute on editing that...that would already be great, IMO...

Feature requests? On my wiki? It's more likely than you think!

Huh.
Well, that's more than 1 and a 1/2 year old...maybe 2 years...
Hmm, GAE got everything almost.

Anyways, well, I don't think it should be deleted, just maybe edited for future...ideas? maybe just deleted, but if not, then "edited" (probably deleting all "ideas"...leave the headings? or edit them?

Could be altered then used later for megaglest and GAE, or possibly, MegaGAE, although, there are and would be better places for that.
I'll let the "pros" decide...so I'll pass.

__________________________________________________________
Alright, I updated the factions/mods...
there are some linking issues, which I think I fixed for all the factions, but not the actual mods...
https://docs.megaglest.org/Mod_Compilations/Techtrees/Factions_for_Glest
Wow, took me an hour for all of that...

More to...later.

Why isn`t our wikia like this?

I`ve got a good background image too...

Trappin · « **Reply #34 on:** 12 June 2010, 10:18:55 »

Why?

1) we don't have artists willing to contribute to the wiki.
2) we don't have coders with the experience to setup wiki templates.
3) we don't have users willing to commit time and effort to a community project and see the project through to completion (example mod: dark magic)

I arrived at this conclusion after 1200 edits and six months of wiki work.

Gabbe · « **Reply #35 on:** 12 June 2010, 11:01:31 »

little helper may artist...were can we find coders willing? I spend lots of time on the forums doing nothing...i can commit time..

I could do some art...

ultifd · « **Reply #37 on:** 12 June 2010, 17:20:53 »

Well, when people update there mods/factions/tilesets, it would be helpful if they also update the information on the wiki...

Then if some is in an incorrect format, others can help make it better...
Well, when Glest gets more users later...we'll have a better time.
Gabbe, or HyperCube, contribute yourself...

(I mean, I guess after your vacation at least???)

Trappin · « **Reply #38 on:** 12 June 2010, 17:49:18 »

Go to wiki gaming sandbox and create a template. Design artwork and color themes for the mainbox and a tiling texture for the sidebars. Screenshot and link the image and paste the wiki code here for peer review.

The template design must be done first - this determines where and how information is presented on the main page AND some sub-pages.

Thanks.

Why not design some art and integrate it into some of the wiki pages? The wiki needs more eye candy!

Gabbe · « **Reply #39 on:** 12 June 2010, 18:10:32 »

how do i add a background to all the pages? do i have to do it manually? how do i add a background image?

Trappin · « **Reply #40 on:** 12 June 2010, 18:13:09 »

Look at wikia gaming media help: templates

ultifd · « **Reply #41 on:** 12 June 2010, 18:38:48 »

If you add a background to all the pages, please tell us what it is first...

So we could get a preview...etc.
of course, maybe you shouldn't because I hear that the theme is going to be changed + colors...soon.

Gabbe · « **Reply #42 on:** 12 June 2010, 18:48:55 »

by whom?

Omega · « **Reply #43 on:** 13 June 2010, 03:21:24 »

I will handle the template, but not now. It's going to have to wait until summer break, because its finals season! Besides, my IP teacher slapped us with a web page assignment, so I'm busy having ~~fun~~ work with that.

Also, I've made johndh an admin too. That brings the total to 5 (me, ultifd, trappin, johndh, and titi). That should be plenty, and these are all trustworthy people who are sure to do a good job with the wiki. Or they will when they get the time to.

ultifd · « **Reply #44 on:** 29 June 2010, 06:44:50 »

Hmm, my brain kinda hurts now...anyways can someone work on the templates? It is getting me

...
https://docs.megaglest.org/Template:Delete
Was just trying to work on that...then I just basically copied the template from the other wiki but then I remembered that I shouldn't do that (I think) so I tried to remove it, but then it does not even show up...
So I am

now... Hmm...
I am still new to wikis, when I first saw Wikipedia I thought, "Cool, fast information"...then I learned that it is a wiki...self explanatory now...
Anyways I am still reading or seeing on what I can do to help...
I guess I am a newb. Or in-between...

Omega · « **Reply #45 on:** 29 June 2010, 18:07:44 »

There, I fixed the deletion template for you. Take a look at it https://docs.megaglest.org/Template:Delete

ultifd · « **Reply #46 on:** 29 June 2010, 18:16:26 »

Thanks, omega, looks great...I'm such a newb...

Omega · « **Reply #47 on:** 30 June 2010, 00:55:18 »

Naw, the force is strong with this one...

Omega · « **Reply #48 on:** 27 July 2010, 02:53:07 »

Well, for now, I set the default theme as a slightly more glesty one than the old one, but not yet a custom theme. I decided I want to fix the main page before I do the theme (By the way, I should mention now DO NOT SET THE BACKGROUND COLOR FOR A PAGE. The theme will do that, and a background color would just muck it up).

If anyone has any suggestions, etc, please mention them.

To make another note: I am not changing the information on the main page, just tidying it up and making it readable.

EDIT: Also, what should the sidebar be? I mean what EXACTLY should it be (down to every last drop down menu item)? The current is a bit small, but at the same time, we don't want to make it too messy...

ultifd · « **Reply #49 on:** 29 July 2010, 05:37:05 »

Well, I am mostly

but, the "main" text on the main page is now hard to read, not sure if you are "finished" with "it" though...hmm

Damm spammers, even the few that came to the wiki are annoying...I keep blocking them. They also seem to spam other wikis too. Good thing for this forum we only have bots...I guess. Or spammers. Spam bots?
