I noticed that you require a certain amount of contributions before you can become a Admin, however the amount required is difficult to count using the 'My contributions' screen. As a possible solution to this you might want to check out [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialUserScore] .

== What kind of Category? ==
== A few questions about files on the wiki ==
I wasn't sure what kind of category to use for this page (outside of the ship category), so I'm holding off: http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=Discovery_Deck_8_Section_37_Compartment_7 [[User:DCody|DCody]] 03:06, 22 July 2012 (UTC)


== Revamped front page ==
The file is : File:Sb118-banner-468x60.jpg. It appears not to work. Should I go ahead and remove it from the publicity products page and delete the file? In addition, I ran across:


I propose we more prominently display the links to the ships on the main page. Something [[User:TZhou/Sandbox|like this]]. Thoughts? Also, is there a way to modify the upload page so that a warning can be added that advises users that a new version of a file takes time to appear on the live server? We could reduce redundant uploads that way. –[[User:TZhou|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:TZhou|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt. Kadosh'' 05:58, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

==Multiple Image template==
Have we used one of these? For example, the '''Example with Background Color''' over at the big daddy [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Multiple_image] - I'm playing around with an idea to group three (capacity up to seven) images together on an existing page (mine) and not sure if I would have to create this template here or not.

==Multiple User Accounts==
Howdy Fleet Admiral,  I have been going through older wiki pages and found that one of the members of the Tiger-A crew has two accounts for the wiki.  He stated that he no longer wishes to use [http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=User:H92o this] profile but wants [http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=User:Xoet this] profile to remain active.  How should I proceed?  [[User:Lance|Lance]] ([[User talk:Lance|talk]]) 17:48, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

== Proposed update to main page ==
 
What do you think of updating the main page to match the style of the various subpages with the pseudo-LCARS look:

== TOC class changes and main page proposal 2 ==
With the new update to 1.23, it looks like the formatting for the TOC class has been changed. Specifically, there's now no more padding around text. This doesn't affect the actual table of contents in pages, but a lot of people have been inappropriately using id="TOC" in their templates and even class=TOC is not as good as class=infobox, which is defined and easily editable in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]
 
{|
!New TOC class in a template
!Using infobox class instead
|-
|
{| class="toc" style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em;" align=right
! style="background:maroon;"  align="center" |<font color="white"> '''Crew of the USS Gemini'''
|-
| style="font-size: 90%" |
[[Image:LiamFrost1.jpg]]
{{Pips2Collar|Captain|Red|DS9}}

*'''Position:''' Commanding Officer
*'''Ship: [[USS Gemini]]
*'''Rank:''' Commander
*'''Race:''' [[Human]]

You can see the main page has also changed as well. I removed the extra bar on my proposal for the main page. I think it actually looks cleaner now than the current [[Main Page]]. Let me know what you think: [[User:Rich/Sandbox]]
 
: I think the "StarBase 118 Fleet" bar should be above the ships, not below it, since the standard on the rest of the page is to have the description of the box on the top, not the bottom. But once we get below that section, I'm just not a fan. I think it looks too cluttered and all the "broken lines" are an eyesore to me. If we can simplify this greatly, it might be worth it, but per before, I'm not sure this is an improvement on what we have... Sorry, I don't mean to poo-poo your hard work here, but I don't want us to move into this formatting just for the sake of looking like LCARS, or updating just because it's been the same design for a long time. Subtle changes like the colored separators near the top of your new design are nice, though. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 01:00, 8 September 2014 (CDT)
 
Anyway, for the TOC changes, the ''easiest'' thing would be to figure out how to change the TOC back to the old styling. The ''proper'' thing would be to have everyone begin changing their table classes from TOC to something else such as "infobox". &#9835; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup><small> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman, [[118Wiki:Operations|Chief of Wiki Operations]]</small> 18:26, 31 August 2014 (CDT)
 
: It's not major enough that I think we should change the CSS-- it will just end up causing problems for future upgrades as we go through every cycle of remembering what the problem was, figuring out how to fix it, etc. Let's just recommend that everyone fix the ones that are poorly formatted :)  --[[User:FltAdml.

Looks good. I just edited the footer now to conform with the standard footer look (with the page name bar as the very bottom). &#9835; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup><small> ''aka Lt.Cmdr.

== Dubois vs Du Bos ==
 
Hi there! I changed it to Du Bos because apparently the quote is actually from another man whose last name is Du Bos: [[wp:Charles Du Bos]], [http://www.quotes.net/quote/4942 quotes.net], [http://books.google.com/books?id=0Ssx9nyh594C&lpg=PA39&ots=7vnr9N-WCj&dq=premier%20tressaillement%20vital%3B%20surtout%20il%20s'agit%20%C3%A0%20tout%20moment%20de%20sacrifier%20ce%20que%20nous%20sommes%20%C3%A0%20ce%20que%20nous%20pouvons%20devenir.%22&pg=PA39#v=onepage&q=premier%20tressaillement%20vital;%20surtout%20il%20s'agit%20%C3%A0%20tout%20moment%20de%20sacrifier%20ce%20que%20nous%20sommes%20%C3%A0%20ce%20que%20nous%20pouvons%20devenir.%22&f=false books.google.com]

==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? Rich is worried about copyright, but if we don't use the write-ups for the courses, and make our own, then the only thing we'd be using is the course code (random letters and numbers) and course names. LUG doesn't even exist anymore (they were bought out by Wizards of the Coast). -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 13:06, 18 April 2015 (CDT)
