I know the swearing was not necessary, and I humbly apologize for it. I let my temper get the best of me over something that was rather stupid. Tomorrow if I get some time, I'll go through and find the articles I blanked so they can be deleted. I'm afraid I let my temper get the best of me in something that was not meant to be personal. To be honest, I didn't care all that much if some of those pages that were considered unnecessary would be deleted, or whatnot. To me, it felt like the two of you were against me - I know you weren't, but that was what it felt like. I know you have no reason to be, really. I thought some of that information could have been useful and important for some simmers, and you disagreed, which is fine. I had thought it could be a valuable resource to have information on, say, a Galaxy Class close at hand instead of having to search for it somewhere. I know, it really wouldn't take that much longer to search for it, but I have to say I personally wouldn't mind the time saver. And I know that links would solve that just as well - so I left those there. --[[User:Pietmaximoff|Lt Pietro Maximoff]] 21:53, 17 Aug 2005 (CDT) | |||
== Non-Canon Markers == | |||
I've created a new "non-canon" marker, and I wanted some advise on how everyone thinks it will work. You can take a look here: [[Template:NC]]. You will notice the marker in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, just beneath your "member bar" with the log out/my contributions/etc. | |||
If you hover over it, it will give you a tool tip. | |||
===Current Canon Markers=== | |||
I could find two different types of canon markers: | |||
* Non-Canon species | |||
* Canon for SB118 / not canon in general | |||
Generally, there are three classifications of canon, for us: | |||
* Non-canon / fanon: This is the stuff that is "generally considered" as having been created by the fans, but has never been addressed onscreen, so we don't know if it's true or not. | |||
* Non-canon / SB118: This is all stuff that we've created that's canon for us, but not considered truly canon; | |||
* Canon: This is stuff that has been shown oncreen, and we know it's canon. | |||
''However,'' for our intents and purposes, there are really only two categories: SB118 canon, and canon. Beacuse if it's not considered canon by SB118, then we don't need it on our wiki. | |||
===Making ours work=== | |||
I think that this marker is a lot more non-intrusive. As you can see, you can hover your mouse over it to get a brief blurb, or click on it to go to the non-canon page. | |||
However, we can change it so that it goes to a different page that explains canon and non-canon more. | |||
===Your Comments=== | |||
Add your comments below this line. Use indents to delineate from the person before you. (i.e.- First commenter puts one : before their comments. Next person puts two :: before their comments, and so on.) | |||

:Well, when I first looked at it, it took me a while to find the tool tip and link because the link seems to be immediately below the 'Non-Canon' text. Another thought might be a different font color than blue. Granted, then it does not immediately look like a link, but it might help it to stand out more. Maybe something as simple as a 1 or 2px blue border would help it to pop out a little. | |||
:All in all, however, I ''do'' like the idea of a smaller, less blatant Non-Canon marker than the current blazing red (or is it more of a 'salmon'?) block, which I tend to find a little distracting. My theory is: if it is in the wiki, we should be able to use it in a SIM, whether or not it is canon for the rest of Star Trek or not. If I'm looking for pure canon, I can always consult Memory-Alpha or a few other sites. --[[User:RogueGypsy47|RogueGypsy47]] 16:50, 21 May 2006 (CDT) | |||
::Hmmm...I wonder why this came about? :) Actually, I, too, think it's a better idea than what I did. But I agree that it should stand out a little more, or be a bit bigger. It doesn't have to be as blatant as mine, but there should be no doubt as to whether someone could see it on the page or not. "Oh, that little thing up in the corner? Sorry, didn't see it." -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 18:30, 21 May 2006 (CDT) | |||
:::I do agree that what's on the wiki should be usable. But I also think we need to make it a point to have a delineation between canon, and non-canon aspects. | |||
:::I have changed it so it's a little more noticeable, but it also may be a little more intrusive now. Take a look. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] 00:05, 22 May 2006 (CDT) | |||
::::I like it, nice idea. - [[User:Salak|Lt.JG Salak; Engineer, USS Independence]] 04:17, 22 May 2006 (CDT) | |||
:::::Actually, Admiral, I think it's great. It's still small enough, and up out of the way of actual page content, but stands out enough that you don't ignore it 'cos you think it's just part of the other links you normally ignore. | |||

== Interwiki links == | |||
Minor point, it isn't causing any issues at the sec to my knowledge but might at some point. The English Wikipedia is at en.wikipedia.org, not www.wikipedia.org. Changing it might speed up use of the links I guess but it isn't a major issue - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

== Nav Template/Table of Contents "hide" glitch == | |||
I think the possible cause is that most nav templates have the coding id="toc" within them, which defines the layout. toc would be short for Table of Contents. It can probably fixed by changing the id to something else but that would probably change the appearence of the navs, and I'm not sure what they could be changed to. - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.
