== 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.
== Hover Buttons ==
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? [[User:Antoinette|Antoinette]] ([[User talk:Antoinette|talk]]) 21:18, 28 March 2015 (CDT)


You're fantastic! [[User:Antoinette|Antoinette]] ([[User talk:Antoinette|talk]]) 21:45, 28 March 2015 (CDT)
Yeah, they were an early proto-type of the similar kind I've got going on on Jo's wiki. Swapped over overlay for hover and it swaps between the two quite nicely. Aiming to get a glass-style effect going on at some point too :D [[User:Jocelyn Marshall|Jo]] ([[User talk:Jocelyn Marshall|talk]]) 20:07, 22 February 2019 (UTC)


== Incorrect Upload ==
== Search bar has been displaced again ==


Hello Rich,
If by any chance you get a free hour or so, can you put the search bar back to where it was supposed to be? At the moment, the side panels go:
*starting points
*Starbase 118
*members
*fleet
*browse
*SEARCH
*tools


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. :/
Can't we put it back up near ''starbase 118''? XD '''[[User:Sky Blake|Deliera]]''' <big>♠</big> <small> [[USS Veritas|Veritas]] ▪ [[User talk:Sky Blake|talk]]</small> 04:33, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

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. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 07:26, 1 April 2015 (CDT)


:I wasn't using the templates, just viewing others cards. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 10:01, 1 April 2015 (CDT)
== Er.. This page ==


::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. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 10:06, 1 April 2015 (CDT)
Hey, Rich. I was doing random wiki dive work after I got distracted updating a section, and stumbled over this page:
https://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=Smuggling


:::How about this? http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/Firestarter,_Lenette/Card -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 10:09, 1 April 2015 (CDT)
It seems rather... specific. Should I retool it to be generic, or just move it to another page focusing on the nation it's talking about?


::::Refreshed. It's the same. The white numbers are crossing the bottom of the coloured boxes. Sorry. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 11:24, 1 April 2015 (CDT)
[[User:Ceciri|Ceciri Ariadust ]] ([[User talk:Ceciri|talk]]) 09:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 
:::::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. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 18:13, 1 April 2015 (CDT)
 
How do I fit my pic into the box on the card??? The card is on my talk page currently. [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] ([[User talk:Canreb|talk]]) 14:17, 25 May 2015 (CDT) Found how to shift the pic down lower, but face is still a little too big for the space. Any fix for that?? [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] ([[User talk:Canreb|talk]]) 14:47, 25 May 2015 (CDT)
 
== Galactic War with Borg Service Medal ==
 
It's not working in the ribbons template for the rack. [[User:Antoinette|Antoinette]] ([[User talk: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 :) [[User:Antoinette|Antoinette]] ([[User talk: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. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk: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? -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk: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. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 02:16, 3 April 2015 (CDT)
 
== Thanks for fixing the vertical template ==
 
Wasn't at all sure where to place it. [[User:Ceciri|Ceciri]] ([[User talk: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? -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 14:22, 7 April 2015 (CDT)
:Rich, any chance you missed this "post?" -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk: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 [[User:Ceciri|Ceciri]] ([[User talk: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! [[User:Ceciri|Ceciri]] ([[User talk: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? -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk: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. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk: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? -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk: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? -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk: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). -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk: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!  [[User:Ashley Roy|Ashley Roy]] ([[User talk: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, [[User:Ashley Roy|Ashley Roy]] ([[User talk: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. :)  [[User:Ashley Roy|Ashley Roy]] ([[User talk: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, [[User:Ashley Roy|Ashley Roy]] ([[User talk: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, [[User:Ashley Roy|Ashley Roy]] ([[User talk:Ashley Roy|talk]]) 11:25, 10 May 2015 (CDT)
::::Will do.  Thank you for your input!  Cheers, [[User:Ashley Roy|Ashley Roy]] ([[User talk: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. [[User:Ceciri|Ceciri]] ([[User talk: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...--[[User:Verana|Verana]] ([[User talk:Verana|talk]]) 19:07, 6 May 2015 (CDT)
 
http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/Sonbef,_Anen/Excalibur
 
== 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. [[User:Chythar Daniel Skyfire|Dr. Skyfire]] ([[User talk:Chythar Daniel 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. [[User:Chythar Daniel Skyfire|Dr. Skyfire]] ([[User talk:Chythar Daniel Skyfire|talk]]) 03:36, 12 May 2015 (CDT)
 
== About Wiki Admins ==
 
I should apply, since I'm working with Roy on his projects. [[User:Ceciri|Ceciri]] ([[User talk:Ceciri|talk]]) 16:25, 13 May 2015 (CDT)
: Thanks! [[User:Ceciri|Ceciri]] ([[User talk:Ceciri|talk]]) 16:30, 13 May 2015 (CDT)
 
==Bajoran Name Templates==
Ya, I realized that once I tried to update a Bajoran name in a ShipRoster template (have to do it together like it was one name). Sorry. You want me to delete them? -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 15:28, 14 May 2015 (CDT)
 
==Wiki Ops Team==
I'd be very interested. I used to be a wiki Sysop when it first started. I missed it when I was gone for all those years. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 15:34, 14 May 2015 (CDT)
 
== Thanks! ==
 
For some reason that compact form didn't occur to me. Thanks for fixing it! [[User:Ceciri|Ceciri]] ([[User talk:Ceciri|talk]]) 02:34, 20 May 2015 (CDT)
 
==New Orleans-scale==
Thanks for the upload. I was going to ask you...got busy...then forgot. Good to know that "big brother" is watching us! :) -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 07:52, 20 May 2015 (CDT)
 
==Advice on Character page==
Hey, what else do you think I could do to improve [[Varaan]]'s character page? -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] ([[User talk:Varaan|talk]]) 08:16, 26 May 2015 (CDT)
 
==Independence-A & Such==
Looks like you've been doing some terrific stuff here! :) A couple of brief notes (only because the information might not been available...), the Independence-A actually didn't completely self-destruct. It was last spotted floating between mirror universes (these were actually IC posts from Starbase 118 several years ago). :p Lost, yes. Destroyed, not quite.  The other minor note is on Flt. Capt. Sidney Riley's wiki bio page- she took command after Cody was kidnapped (I wasn't actually retired- lol). [[User:DCody|DCody]] ([[User talk:DCody|talk]]) 19:25, 28 May 2015 (CDT)

Hover Buttons

Yeah, they were an early proto-type of the similar kind I've got going on on Jo's wiki. Swapped over overlay for hover and it swaps between the two quite nicely. Aiming to get a glass-style effect going on at some point too :D Jo (talk) 20:07, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Search bar has been displaced again

If by any chance you get a free hour or so, can you put the search bar back to where it was supposed to be? At the moment, the side panels go:

  • starting points
  • Starbase 118
  • members
  • fleet
  • browse
  • SEARCH

Can't we put it back up near starbase 118? XD Deliera Veritastalk 04:33, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
