== LOAs on Roster Page ==

Hi there, Deliera! I put the LOAs back on the Avandar roster page because we want that information to be available when it is transcluded into the larger [[Fleet Roster]] for easier personnel tracking purposes (since the Fleet Roster now serves in the same capacity as the UPDS for the general membership). By having the LOA info on the main roster page (and thus the Fleet Roster page), members can easily verify their LOA remains current. –[[User:TZhou|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:TZhou|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt. Kadosh'' 16:14, 2 December 2013 (CST)

Perhaps an easier way to do the rest of the set would be to just make the blank version of the other side and then load the two graphics side by side. –[[User:Rich|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' 17:15, 10 January 2014 (CST)

For instance, I've uploaded the gold version. Here it is with the Ensign pip:

[[File:01-Ensign-Gold.jpg]][[File:00-Blank-Gold-Flip.jpg]]

You can put it into a table or side bar row and just set the background as black to get the same effect.

Here's Sabor as a commander for instance, by inserting the following table within the sidebar:

<pre>
{|style="background:black; width:100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
| style="background:black; height:25px"|[[File:05-Commander-Gold.jpg]]
| style="background:black; height:25px" align="right"|[[File:00-Blank-Gold-Flip.jpg]]
|}
</pre>

: Once you make the rest of the blanks I can easily make some templates that people could insert into their sidebar. It'd be as easy to use as [[Template:Age]] and [[Template:USS]] –[[User:Rich|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' 22:37, 10 January 2014 (CST)
::Yeah, I'm expanding the documentation right now, including a handy table of the pips... although it's frustrating that someone mislabeled the crewman pips and didn't name the marine rank pips in the same fashion, so until they get converted, we can't use them for now. Or unless I make another template, but... –[[User:Rich|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' 00:09, 11 January 2014 (CST)
:::No, they're in the wrong file format. They are currently png's and need to be jpg's like the others.

Rahman'' 00:13, 11 January 2014 (CST)
::::By all means. –[[User:Rich|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' 00:19, 11 January 2014 (CST)

::::::Before you convert any others, when you move the page or upload a new version, can you make sure to upload it to the new name format. Otherwise, we'll have to go back and fix all the double redirects. –[[User:Rich|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' 00:50, 11 January 2014 (CST)
::::::Sorry if I was unclear. I had meant use the same file name convention as the ones in that table. So:
*M11-FldMrshl-Green.jpg
*M10-Genl-Green.jpg
*M09-LtGen-Green.jpg

*ME4-Cpl-Green.jpg
*ME3-LCpl-Green.jpg
*ME2-Pvt1st-Green.jpg
*ME1-Pvt-Green.jpg

==Don't bother with the Marine pip==
Meh, you really don't need to convert them all and rename them if it's too much trouble. The whole idea of the template was to reduce your workload after all! :D If a marine really wants to do the 2 collar thing, they can just do it the long way as I originally posted above. That is:
<pre>
{|style="background:black; width:100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
| style="background:black; height:25px"|[[File:G2-e8.png]]
| style="background:black; height:25px" align="right"|[[File:00-Blank-Green-Flip.jpg]]
|}
</pre>
Which would give:
{|style="background:black; width:100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
| style="background:black; height:25px"|[[File:G2-e8.png]]
| style="background:black; height:25px" align="right"|[[File:00-Blank-Green-Flip.jpg]]
|}
It might just be worth it to fix the crewman pips though. –[[User:Rich|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' 01:13, 11 January 2014 (CST)

== Step by step how to crop ==

1. Find your image. Example: [[:File:TristamCore3.jpg]].
: Normally, if we put in <nowiki>[[File:TristamCore3.jpg|150px]]</nowiki>, we get
:[[File:TristamCore3.jpg|150px]]

:However, what if I want to make a perfect square 150x150 crop of this image? Use [[Template:Crop]].

2. Type <nowiki>{{Crop|Name of File|New Width|New Height}}</nowiki>
:So, we'd put in <nowiki>{{Crop|TristamCore3.jpg|150|150}}</nowiki>, to get
:{{Crop|TristamCore3.jpg|150|150}}

You can further adjust the position of the crop or the zoom as outlined in the [[Template:Crop|instructions for Template:Crop]] or add a link= to the image.

For instance, if we type in
<pre>{{Crop|TristamCore3.jpg|150|150|10|30|2}}</pre>
it gives you
{{Crop|TristamCore3.jpg|150|150|10|30|2}}

which is a cropped image of Tristan 150 px in width x 150 px in height with an adjustment of 10 pixels up and 30 pixels to the left to center his head and 2x zoom of the original cropped image.

Adding a link= to that can make the image link to his profile:
<pre>{{Crop|TristamCore3.jpg|150|150|10|30|2|link=Core, Tristam}}</pre>

{{Crop|TristamCore3.jpg|150|150|10|30|2|link=Core, Tristam}}

== Bajoran naming conventions ==

I don't think I quite understand. Varu is my characters last name and the comma is commonly used on this wiki to seperate first and last name. [[Anora,_Manar|Anora Manar]], for example, has the comma on her page too although she's Bajoran.
However, If I misunderstood anything and I am indeed mistaken, I'm sorry for inconveniencing you and I'm gonna get right to placing a 'queued for deletion'-notice on the 'Varu,Novin'-page, as I would like to avoid there to be an empty page floating around the wiki.

Hello. Noticed there was an orphaned image, which I thought looked like an early Sky Blake that I was curious what to do with. What would you like to do with it?

Thanks for deleting that page.  Maddie Hyden (she was the page creator) contacted me too about it, and I was trying to find how to do it, or where to list it. [[User:Delan Han|Delan Han]] ([[User talk:Delan Han|talk]]) 03:08, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

I do not plan to add anything more than I did already. I do not know enough about the species to do so. I had a few ideas I was playing around with but in the end decided to only add the quote which I felt was fairly accurate based on what I read about them and the worked up sections for their planets since I have the workbooks for calculating planetary data for use in games. Got lucky and was able to print off a copy before they were removed from internet about 10 years ago. By the way this is Daryl Peacock, Cmdr. Tal Tel-ar.

Hello  I worked up the details regarding the 4 colonized planets of this species using the planet generation work book that I picked up a number of years ago. I was wondering if you could use that on this wiki page. It would help get them closer to completion and does not involve any required simming. Also that way all players would be able to base any contact with one of the planets off of the same data.   I have done this for most of the species on the wiki so that they have accurate and proper planetary listings that are set up in an identical fashion of all of the species pages.  I used what little information has been simmed and then filled in the rest of the planet data form. Just an idea....

== Meridian ==

Hello

This is (Daryl) Cmdr. Tal Tel-ar   I was trying to add a reference to the Meridian wiki page however as I am a self taught wiki user and I have no idea how you set up the current references section on that page. I have never encountered that format. 

Could I ask you nicely to add the reference for me. 

The USS Montreal has landed outside of the capitol city of Meridian to deal with a medical quarantine emergency within the colony. While here Captain Mei'konda and a small away team are engaged in diplomatic talks with the Klingons who have an embassy facility outside the city while Dr. Skyfire and Dr. Solok help the colony to deal with the contagious outbreak. Various Juk'Iians from the slums outside of the city have been disruptive and a nuisance during this time.

== A newly developed technology and how to create a page for our Cat's Eye contact lenses ==

Hello Skye,

I am Derek Allen and I play Second Lieutenant R'rraww Hontrú Marine Officer USS Juneau NX-99801 SB118-ID#: E239605RH0.

Recently during a Sim I wanted to address a topic that we made up for the Caitain species. A fact that I wanted to create that would allow us to come up with a new technology. As I hypothesize Caitain's cant see Holographic members of the crew that are not confined to a Holodeck or Holosuite. My story indicates that if it is a person like a Medical Hologram he has trouble seeing such a being. As you may know in the human eye there are rods and cones. I made up the fact that Caitain's also have spheres, that let them see in low light situations. These extra spheres also inhibit them from seeing the spectrum of light that creates Holographic people with limited emitters that would be found outside of a multi holo emitter system that is in a larger place like a Holodeck. In other words, the more emitters the better for a Caitain to see everything in the room, the fewer emitters the more difficult to see.

So in doing research we learned that there are contact lenses that are currently in development that will do what my whitepaper outlines. Also there are ocular implants that are part of Star Trek canon when it comes to the character Geordie La Forge.

My question is, how do I create a SB118 Wiki page in the fashion to be in concert with how you create and maintain your system. This technology is based on reality and Trek canon and I want to make something that can be part of our universe and for others, (like the engineering character I asked to assist me in development of the technology in the story we wrote) It is called the Cat's Eye Project and I have a completed Google Docs white paper that outlines is usage and design. 

I am not sure how I will receive your answer to this letter, but I will look out for your advice and instructions. Thank you so much for your time.

Derek
