Frame Template

I really love how easy you made editing and upkeep the wiki with various templates you made available and thank you for that. I just found Frame template and wanted to ask is it possible to add a line for description text under the picture weather inside or under the frame? Antoinette (talk) 21:18, 28 March 2015 (CDT)

You're fantastic! Antoinette (talk) 21:45, 28 March 2015 (CDT)

Incorrect Upload

Hello Rich,

Sorry for asking you this but would you mind deleting Image:Gwyndolin Phos-Murchadha.xcf for me? I accidentally uploaded the XCF file instead of my PNG while replacing some images on my bio page (DO'H). Unfortunately, I can't actually find a way to fix it now and its taking up quite a bit of space that could be better used elsewhere. :/

Sorry again,

SB118 Cards

I just noticed that the white numbers for the "Integrity", "Cunning" and "Strength" at the bottom are not aligned properly with their respective coloured boxes. The numbers are too low. -Varaan (talk) 07:26, 1 April 2015 (CDT)

I wasn't using the templates, just viewing others cards. -Varaan (talk) 10:01, 1 April 2015 (CDT)

Browser is Firefox (version 36.0.4) and OS is Windows 7. All the other stuff looks fine, just the white numbers on the bottom...and not on all of them. The first one I looked at was fine. -Varaan (talk) 10:06, 1 April 2015 (CDT)

How about this? http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/Firestarter,_Lenette/Card -Varaan (talk) 10:09, 1 April 2015 (CDT)

Refreshed. It's the same. The white numbers are crossing the bottom of the coloured boxes. Sorry. -Varaan (talk) 11:24, 1 April 2015 (CDT)

Now many of them are fine, and some are still not right (Seff, limited edition Firestarter, etc). Not sure what the differences are in the codings, but that has to be it. Not sure how more I can help. -Varaan (talk) 18:13, 1 April 2015 (CDT)

Galactic War with Borg Service Medal

It's not working in the ribbons template for the rack. Antoinette (talk) 15:04, 2 April 2015 (CDT)

Responding to the response on my talk page was plain mishap. LOL. I'm ill and doing several things at the same time caused mistake :) Antoinette (talk) 22:31, 6 April 2015 (CDT)

Mission Indices

I used those "TV Guide" type blurbs (I called them "Mission Tags") a decade ago when I was doing the Paladin and Atlantis missions. I just didn't have a separate page listing them all, I only had them on the individual mission pages. I'll see what I can do. -Varaan (talk) 01:39, 3 April 2015 (CDT)

Weird. In the "How to Use" section, I see "with" in the ship name section (which should be "without"), but it says "without" if I view it in the Edit mode. What's up with that? -Varaan (talk) 02:07, 3 April 2015 (CDT)

Can we have data in one template auto-update or auto-fill into another template? This is what I'm thinking, include a "Season #" and "Episode #". Each year would be it's own season, obviously. I'm hoping to use that data in another template I'm going to get you to make very soon. -Varaan (talk) 02:16, 3 April 2015 (CDT)

Thanks for fixing the vertical template

Wasn't at all sure where to place it. Ceciri (talk) 00:13, 5 April 2015 (CDT)

Ships to Scale .png's

Hey, Rich, any chance you have a Niagara class silhouette knocking around somewhere? Tim Davies' size comparison chart has it (misspelled "Niagra") but I noticed we don't have one on our wiki. Can we get one? -Varaan (talk) 14:22, 7 April 2015 (CDT)

Rich, any chance you missed this "post?" -Varaan (talk) 14:27, 22 April 2015 (CDT)

Spartan registry number

I got it from the player behind Liam Frost. He had mentioned it in a sim Ceciri (talk) 07:24, 8 April 2015 (CDT)

PersonalHistoryListing template

Ah, I was wondering if a switch would clear that up. Yeah, I did it when I was half asleep and not catching that extra variable. Thanks for fixing it! Ceciri (talk) 21:52, 8 April 2015 (CDT)

Species' Plurals

Great! where do I put that, since it's supposed to be hard coded into the template? -Varaan (talk) 22:24, 12 April 2015 (CDT)

Mission renaming

Oops. Thought that was an automatic thing. Don't know why it wouldn't always be. Never thought to check. Sorry. Will do in the future. -Varaan (talk) 07:25, 17 April 2015 (CDT)

Academy Courses

I was just on the forums, saw a thread named "Help on my Academy Transcript" in which someone was commenting, in essence, that there aren't enough courses to really flesh out a character. I remembered that I have an Academy box-set from the Last Unicorn Games pen-and-paper RPG that has a huge listing of courses, and professors, etc. I know they're not cannon, but I wonder if we'd able to use those courses here to give people more choices? What do you think? Who should we talk to/ask? -Varaan (talk) 07:30, 17 April 2015 (CDT)

Ship Class "Patches"

Rich, where do you get the ship class patches done? Is it from the Image Collective? Who do I talk to if I'd like to get one (or a couple) done? -Varaan (talk) 14:47, 26 April 2015 (CDT)

Cool. Any chance you could do one for the Cutlass class carrier for me? Do you do ones for individual ships, as well? I wouldn't mind one for the Paladin (my old ship). -Varaan (talk) 18:56, 26 April 2015 (CDT)

Wiki Admin

Howdy Rich, it would be an interesting thought to become an admin again, but I would need to think about it. Wiki ops really wouldn't be in my purview though since my (somewhat deranged) focus is cleanup rather than improvement on practices. Thanks for the suggestion! Ashley Roy (talk) 13:30, 29 April 2015 (CDT)

Namespaces

Howdy, I was wondering if you know if it would be possible to create a SIM namespace for the purpose of categorizing all of the sim pages that have been both orphaned or scattered randomly throughout the wiki. I am attempting to clean out the special pages, and its been difficult to decide on what to do with these. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks, Ashley Roy (talk) 19:34, 30 April 2015 (CDT)

I mean another space like how there is User:, 118Wiki:, so on so forth. I don't think they fall within the purview of the main userspace, and if we have a special userspace for them, it allows for searching within that particular category, as well as exclusion of the main space. Does that make sense? Apologies if I am having difficulty elucidating myself. :) Ashley Roy (talk) 13:23, 7 May 2015 (CDT)

Not quite. The problem is that sim titles don't have specific requirements, and as such may show up on searches that aren't really related to them. Furthermore, since there isn't a current standard for sims, I have seen a number of variations that lands them on the orphaned pages listing. If placed within another namespace, it forces sims to be in a SIM: namespace, and won't conflict with a title (let alone search, unless you are trying to search for them :) ). I could move pages to similarly named locations to avoid conflicts, but wanted to see if this was a possibility first. Cheers, Ashley Roy (talk) 13:56, 9 May 2015 (CDT)

Ceciri pretty much named all my concerns on my talk page. One of the roadblocks I am hitting with the special pages are where to put the numerous sims that aren't categorized correctly anyway. As far as having to recategorize whats already been done... I am of the strange sort that finds such mindless tasks fun :P. Cheers, Ashley Roy (talk) 11:25, 10 May 2015 (CDT)

Will do. Thank you for your input! Cheers, Ashley Roy (talk) 11:32, 10 May 2015 (CDT)

About the old starship class pages

I was starting a clean up project (since Roy has gotten me interested in it again) of the lonelypages section, and ran across this:

http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/Aegean_Class

and thus this:

http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/Template:Ship_Types

I assume ASDB is meant to sorta clean these out? Should I start submitting these to the ASDB so we can remove them? Curious as to your thoughts. Ceciri (talk) 00:27, 2 May 2015 (CDT)

Ribbons Display

I was considering to add a ribbon display like you designed to my bio, but the wooden frame does not fit into the design of my biography at all. Is there a way to have that rack with a neutral colour instead of the wooden texture? Or with a colour of choice to fit the rest of the bio design? :)

Sidebar table width thing....

Hey can you take a look at this? I know you fixed the code on the main page but when I went to create a new subpage I can't see where I went wrong...--Verana (talk) 19:07, 6 May 2015 (CDT)

Community History Team

I saw that. I wasn't sure why at first, and when I asked Firestarter about it before creating the page, he didn't see the problem. Guess it wasn't made clear to me that 118Wiki had its own separate namespace on purpose. Thanks for fixing it for me. Dr. Skyfire (talk) 03:30, 12 May 2015 (CDT)

It isn't, as far as I know. That's the disadvantage when basing one's page off another group. Oops. Have another question about the crew history template, but we can make that a different discussion. Dr. Skyfire (talk) 03:36, 12 May 2015 (CDT)
