Training/Missions

Were we planning on revamping the missions? I thought we were just talking about revising the tutorials? --Wolf 23:37, 19 Aug 2005 (CDT)

Let's start with the tutorials. We can move on to missions after that. I don't want us to be working on too many things at once. I think we can still test-run the new mission(s) in the meantime, though. --Wolf 22:45, 20 Aug 2005 (CDT)

Your latest query

I'm afraid I have no clue what you're asking me :) Can you give me an example? --Wolf /^{talk page} 23:08, 1 July 2006 (CDT)

Oh... maybe this is what you mean? Training/Missions

Source: [[User talk:Varaan#Training/Missions|Training/Missions]] --Wolf /^{talk page} 23:11, 1 July 2006 (CDT)

Yeah, I think what you want is covered in the example above. To link to something else on a page, you have to have a sub-heading to link to. So as long as you're linking to that sub-heading, just use the page name, then #, then the sub-heading name. I think that'll work properly. --Wolf /^{talk page} 23:13, 1 July 2006 (CDT)

The only reason I can imagine why it might not work is if the system recognizes, when you're going to a sub-heading, that it's on the same page and outputs bolded text instead of a link. Not sure, as I haven't tried it on a regular namespace page -- just here on the talk namespace ;) Try and out and see if it works :) --Wolf /^{talk page} 23:16, 1 July 2006 (CDT)

Vulcans on Memory-Alpha

Instead of adding the line at the top of each Vulcan article about canon info on MA, why not just add something to your nav wiki, like:

Vulcans on Memory-Alpha

Would de-clutter your articles a little ;) Just a thought! --Wolf /^{talk page} 01:08, 2 July 2006 (CDT)

Par'tha Species

There are a number of species who are listed in the "Par'tha" species category who do not have the "Par'tha Races" template on their page. Did you want that template added to them? I'm about to do a sweep of the Non-Canon species category to add another category for those species who have or have not been reviewed as playable by the CC. --Wolf /^{talk page} 22:52, 2 July 2006 (CDT)

I also noticede that you had placed the Par'tha Races template near the bottom of some pages. I'm assuming this was so that it did sit directly to the left of the ILI template? If so, you can just set the style property to "clear:right", which means that no other floating element (like the ILI template) will be to the right. I did this, and here's how it looks: Balivari. If you don't want it like that, you can change it at Template:Par'tha Races. Just remove the "clear:right" from the CSS thing. --Wolf /^{talk page} 23:14, 2 July 2006 (CDT)

Re: Hoverbikes

My apologies on the Stormtrooper bit. It seems that I misread 'Stroopers' in the article. Ah, well...

I am not trying to say that elements from different universes cannot be borrowed or shared, but I still believe that they should be made unique to the universe they are being used in, to try and eliminate similarities in name. Looking back, my initial reaction was prompted by the term 'Swoop', which I have always associated with another universe. This is more of a semantics issue than a concept one. I have no problem with the idea of an empire that has a vast army with anti-grav technology. I would just not want such to be confused for some sort of weird crossover.

Similarly, I would object if somebody in, say, a Stargate RP wanted to invent a new weapon for their spaceship and call it a 'phaser', a term which is easily recognizable as originating with Star Trek. A term may not be owned by a universe, but there can definitely be connections there, that an author may or may not want to make use of.. --RogueGypsy47 11:34, 17 July 2006 (CDT)

Aye, I believe it is mostly the name that affected me. It's not a major point, though. I think the immediacy of the situation and my initial misunderstanding made it seem like it was a major faux pas. Also, I apologize about getting back to you so late. I am not in the wiki as often as I would like to be these days.. >.>;; --RogueGypsy47 10:47, 2 August 2006 (CDT)

Crew Histories...

The Wallace one was hard enough; the sheer amount of history on the Indy is meaning this one is going to take a long time to finish... How'd you do with the Paladin history? - Lt.JG Salak 21:45, 9 August 2006 (CDT)

I can understand that... they do take a long time to research. - Lt.JG Salak 13:09, 10 August 2006 (CDT)

Danube class v. Runabout

Yeah, I'd agree it should be Category:Danube Class vessels, it just seemed easier at the time to move 1 across. Danube class is listed as a specialist on the class lists I think, it's not on the shuttles page so unsure if it needs to be a subcategory of the shuttles category. - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 11:43, 9 November 2006 (CST)

Yeah, that makes sense. And I had noticed you love categories :) - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 07:12, 10 November 2006 (CST)

Cody category

I added the category to the template (Template:David Scott Cody) so any page with that template automatically is added to the category. Didn't know if you'd noticed that little short cut before? - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 07:23, 10 November 2006 (CST)

Solstice

Apparently USS Solstice is only 3 years old but given there appears to be no board for it on the forums, no mention on the main website and the supposed Captain has only ever climbed as high as Lt.Cmdr, I'm not convinced it was actually active in the fleet. It was about a year before I joined so I was wondering if you remember it? If not, then I might delete the page & associated templates... - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 08:34, 13 November 2006 (CST)

I dropped a note to FltAdm.Wolf on YIM last night, saw his reply just after I read yours here on the wiki. Have deleted accordingly. - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 20:31, 13 November 2006 (CST)

Cara & Salak categories

Ok, I'm tired (been up 37 hours straight) and had a couple to drink admittedly but that doesn't make much sense; "The character category pages are sub-categories of the Character Category". I thought that it made sense for all the pages for Salak to be listed together as a sub category to the categories that the page would normally be under; hence why I list the categories on the character category page rather than the category page. If you think otherwise is better though then I shall defer to your judgement as, like you said, you are the categories person ;) I hope that makes sense. - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 18:38, 25 November 2006 (CST)

Even when completely sober and awake, I still can't make sense of it... - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 16:49, 28 November 2006 (CST)

Ok, go on then :) - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 17:49, 28 November 2006 (CST)

I suppose that makes sense... - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 17:52, 28 November 2006 (CST)

Not a prob... I find it's nice to be confused from time to time. - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 17:56, 28 November 2006 (CST)

THI

Institute: An organization founded to promote a cause: a cancer research institute. It's an institute in that definition of the word, not an educational institution. Organization is close enough.

THI employees may be SCEPTRE affiliates, but that's not a given -- in the sense that someone who works at the Microsoft might be an ACLU member, but not all Microsoft employees are ACLU members. --Wolf /^{talk page} 18:20, 28 November 2006 (CST)

Planetary Chart/Navigation Bars

Hi Varaan... ran into a similar look you have up for Planetary Data on Duronus II when I was incorporating a nav bar for The One Kingdom and the homeworld planet Triceblessed and didn't like having the two side by side. Decided rather to establish the link to a page that has the nav bar on the planetary chart (instead of having two right aligned graphs). DCody 12:20, 19 December 2006 (CST)
