==Regarding [[Hannity, Nora|Nora Hannity]]==
Howdy Whale.  I just wanted to let you know that a character cannot be related to any character on screen.  If you wish to keep the character, her profile should be changed so that there is no relation.  Thanks, [[User:Lance|Lance]] 00:05, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
* Good Evening Mr. Whale. While I understand the want to be able to retain pertinent information about your character, we have a specific policy that disallows establishing relations to canon characters. Simply put, all references to Pike must be removed (aka, no relation at all, please), as LtCmdr Firestarter stated. Thanks for understanding. ;) [[User:DCody|DCody]] 01:27, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
** You don't have to lose this character. Just the relation. Please take a day to think on it and drop me a note on my talk page tomorrow if you still want us to delete Hannity. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 03:54, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey Whale:
Hey Whale:
Thanks for the suggestion.  No, what I'm more interested in is a more customizable multi-platform map generator.  I think I may have started this little project just for love of coding, though I have searched the net and only been able to come up with a random map generator that dumps a bunch of turkish towns on the map.  Not really all that great for creating maps for this site :)

== 2009 Ops Awards ==
I think we may have missed some of them, including yours. Do you happen to have a copy of the sim for those awards? --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 04:26, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
: I found it and sent it to Wolf. :) Incidently it's here: (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sb118-ops/message/20113)
:: I don't think that's it, actually. I'm looking for the General Awards for Ops itself -- that's the Duty Post / Special / Staff awards for the whole group, from what I can tell. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 10:07, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
::: I'm not sure if I still have a copy... I'll try to track it down on the Yahoo list.  It MAY be on the Tiger list, now that I think of it -- as I recall, it was late December when we switched from the Tiger list to the Starbase list. - [[User:Whale|Whale]] 14:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
::: I think this is what you're looking for -->  http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sb118-ops/message/20072  - [[User:Whale|Whale]] 15:32, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
== Wiki Admin ==
You've been promoted to Admin. Use your power wisely :) --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 19:43, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
== Sig banners ==
Create a sub-category under "Media" for them. i.e.- "Signature Banners" ;)  --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 00:57, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
== Previous Vessels Named Drake ==
Just thought I should let you know I've updated the sections on Sir Francis Drake and his Drum with my (limited) knowledge.--[[User:JamesTPau|Lt. JG James]] ([[User talk:JamesTPau|talk]]) 15:20, 23 September 2013 (CDT)
== New Easy Crew Nav ==
==SB118 Ops Crew Nav==
I've converted your crew nav to a new "Easy Template" version. Full instructions are available here: '''[[Template:Crew]]'''.
===Among the New Features:===
===Simplified format to add officers===
No more messy code! Makes it easier to edit position names and preview them to see if they fit correctly!
<pre>{{Tile|FIRST NAME|Last Name|UNIFORM COLOR|CURRENT POST|Roster Image}}</pre>
For example, just add:
<pre>|{{Tile|William|Rogers|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-rogers.jpg}}</pre>
to get the next officer's tile added to the nav.
|{{Tile|William|Rogers|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-rogers.jpg}}
===<font color=red>IMPORTANT NOTE</font>===
If an officer only has a single name, be sure to still put an extra "pipe" character '''|''' after their name.
<pre>{{Tile|Solok||Teal|Chief Medical Officer|Roster-solok.jpg}}</pre>
{{Tile|Solok||Teal|Chief Medical Officer|Roster-solok.jpg}}
===Automatic placement of blank portrait===
Places the [[:File:Roster-blank.jpg|blank portrait roster image]] if no roster image specified. Example:
<pre>{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}}</pre>
{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}}
===Automatic resize of roster image===
If an officer's roster image is too large for the nav, it will automatically crop and resize it to fit. Note that while this is a handy feature, it may not produce as nice an image as a properly prepared roster image.
{{Tile|Andrus|Jaxx|Red|Commanding Officer|Jaxxhorse.jpg}}
===Support for Nicknames/Abbreviations===
If an officer's name is too long for the nav. Example:
<pre>{{Tile|Cassandra|Egan Manno|NICKNAME=C. Egan Manno|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-eganmanno.jpg}}</pre>
{{Tile|Cassandra|Egan Manno|NICKNAME=C. Egan Manno|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-eganmanno.jpg}}
===Simplified color names===
'''<font color=maroon>Red</font>, <font color=darkgoldenrod>Gold</font>, <font color=steelblue>Blue</font>, <font color=teal>Teal</font>, <font color=purple>Violet</font>, <font color=black>Black</font>, <font color=dimgray>Silver</font>, <font color=darkgreen>Green</font>'''
===No need to change colspan===
Table automatically keeps header and footer centered.
===Ship placeholder image===
Can be easily specified if there is an odd number of officers.
<pre>{{Shiptile|USS Apollo|Achilles.jpg}}</pre>
{{Shiptile|USS Apollo|Achilles.jpg}}
{{Crew
|SHIP = StarBase 118 Ops
|ROSTER PAGE = StarBase 118 Ops Crew
|NPC PAGE = StarBase 118 Ops NPC Personnel
|HISTORY PAGE = StarBase 118 Ops Crew History}}
|{{Tile|William|Rogers|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-rogers.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Sakorra|Reed|Red|Strategic Operations|Roster-reed.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Sinda|Essen|Red|Fleet Operations|Roster-essen.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Kendall|Washburn|Red|Flight Operations}}
|{{Tile|Solok||Teal|Chief Medical Officer|Roster-solok.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Alexander|Richards|Blue|Asst. Chief. Sci. Ofc.|Roster-richards.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Oliver|Weston|Black|Intelligence Officer|Roster-weston.jpg}}
|-
|{{Tile|David|Whale|Green|Executive Officer|Roster-whale.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Ta'lis|Merek|Green|Marine Officer|Roster-merek.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Pandora||Gold|Chief Engineer|Roster-pandora.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Nemitor|Atimen|Gold|Chief of Security|Roster-atimen.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Danzia||Teal|Counselor & 2O|Roster-danzia.jpg}}
|{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}}
|{{Tile|Tsia||Purple|Diplomat|Roster-Tsia.jpg}}
{{Crewfooter|CREWNAV=Sb118crew}}
For reference, this is the code generating the current version of the nav above:
<pre>
{{Crew
|SHIP = StarBase 118 Ops
|ROSTER PAGE = StarBase 118 Ops Crew
|NPC PAGE = StarBase 118 Ops NPC Personnel
|HISTORY PAGE = StarBase 118 Ops Crew History}}
|{{Tile|William|Rogers|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-rogers.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Sakorra|Reed|Red|Strategic Operations|Roster-reed.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Sinda|Essen|Red|Fleet Operations|Roster-essen.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Kendall|Washburn|Red|Flight Operations}}
|{{Tile|Solok||Teal|Chief Medical Officer|Roster-solok.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Alexander|Richards|Blue|Asst. Chief. Sci. Ofc.|Roster-richards.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Oliver|Weston|Black|Intelligence Officer|Roster-weston.jpg}}
|-
|{{Tile|David|Whale|Green|Executive Officer|Roster-whale.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Ta'lis|Merek|Green|Marine Officer|Roster-merek.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Pandora||Gold|Chief Engineer|Roster-pandora.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Nemitor|Atimen|Gold|Chief of Security|Roster-atimen.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Danzia||Teal|Counselor & 2O|Roster-danzia.jpg}}
|{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}}
|{{Tile|Tsia||Purple|Diplomat|Roster-Tsia.jpg}}
{{Crewfooter|CREWNAV=Sb118crew}}
</pre>

===<font color=green>NEW UPDATE!</font> User Correctioning of Automatic Resize and Crop===
You can now tell the template to zoom into your image and change positioning! Check out [[Template:Roster/Image Guide|the image guide for the roster template]] as the basic principle is the same. Just add the extra numbers for your corrections to the end of the officer's code, with the first number being how far you want the image to move up (i.e., how far do you want to see more downward), the second number being how far to move the image left (see more to the right), and the third number being how many times to zoom the image. 1.2x is a good place to start.
'''Example'''
''Original:''
{{Tile|Tracey|Townson|Black|Intelligence Officer|TraceyIntel uni.jpg}}
''Raw code for corrections:''
<pre>{{Tile|Tracey|Townson|Black|Intelligence Officer|TraceyIntel uni.jpg|0|40|1.7}}</pre>
{{Tile|Tracey|Townson|Black|Intelligence Officer|TraceyIntel uni.jpg|0|40|1.7}}

== NPC Roster Template ==
There is an NPC template roster: [[Template:NPCRoster]], but the instructions aren't fully fleshed out. I think you can figure it out though. :) –[[User:Rich|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' 13:45, 2 February 2014 (CST)
