== Wiki system templates ==
No worries! I think your new template is pretty cool, and I am a full proponent of people being bold in trying new things on the wiki. I also despise the unhealthy attitude of taking ownership of parts of the wiki. With that said, could I ask that if you do change any of the [[:Category:Wiki System Templates|Wiki system templates]] that you leave a message letting me know. I would not have caught the pip changes unless I had been on the recent changes page at that moment for instance and the error may have been left undiscovered for longer. &#9668; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr.

:One possible solution you could try is creating another template that will place the pip in its own table. Then have your sidebar incorporate that template. &#9668; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' &#9835;  09:56, 7 August 2014 (CDT)

::Just use Pip120 where you previously used Pips
::Awesome, thanks... just has a background color issue (can we make that opaque?) and the Future Imperfect pips need to be centered, but I'll just add centering to Pip120.
:::The bg was set to black because ds9 pips are shorter than default so making them black makes them look equal. since you don't want black for FI, you could enhance Pip120 to recognize when the pip style has been set to FI using the if command and having it not have a background when FI is specified by the user. ditto for centering. Also, you need to leave replies on the other users page or else they will not see them unfortunately because the wiki message system is dumb. &#9668; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr.

Gallery feature

Take a look at this. Feel free to use it on the Ronin crew page if you want. It's an easier way to maintain a gallery. More info at Wikipedia:Gallery tag, and Wikipedia:Extended image syntax. --Wolf /talk page 01:17, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

Minor edits

Hey mate, hope your days going okay!


Minor edits should be;
  • Correcting a spelling/grammar mistake
  • Resizing an image
  • Correcting a name/file destination/category
If it's not one of the above, it's not normally a minor edit. :) ♣ Deliera ▪ talk 23:00, 25 July 2014 (CDT)

Be sure also to check your user preferences, specifically under editing preferences. You may have it set to mark all your edits as minor by default. This unfortunately though makes it difficult for admins and the wiki ops team to monitor changes on the wiki accurately. ◄ Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman ♫ 04:19, 26 July 2014 (CDT)

existing course numbers

Hi Jack! I love the courses and departments you're adding! However, please be aware if you change the course numbers of existing courses, you are causing other simmers' transcripts to now have their course numbers no longer match up with the course catalog. ◄ Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman ♫ 16:35, 31 July 2014 (CDT)

Also, HIST120: Vulcan History appears to cover the same ground as the three Xenology courses:
  • XEN120: Introduction to Vulcans
  • XEN220: Early Vulcan history through the atomic age
  • XEN320: Vulcan History from the Atomic Age through the Modern Era
Perhaps if it were tailored to a more specific part of Vulcan history, such as just during the Reawakening? ◄ Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman ♫ 01:58, 1 August 2014 (CDT)

Template:KolkFI & Template:LCARS-Sidebar

Just had a question regarding the Template:KolkFI and Template:LCARS-Sidebar: I noticed how the Template:Sidebar Rich created has the following variables: 

|SPECIES = Human
|GENDER = Male
|BIRTHMONTH = 01
|BIRTHDATE = 17
|BIRTHYEAR = 2360
|BIRTHPLACE = Colony 1, Martian Colonies

Guess I'm curious if these were intentionally left out because they don't go with the design or if they could be incorporated into the template. Chythar Daniel Skyfire (talk) 16:41, 7 August 2014 (CDT)

Not sure you broke it on the LCARS template, but there's a thingie that says #switch-DS9 if it is viewed in preview mode. Not sure that's intentional, but I thought I'd try to help. Chythar Daniel Skyfire (talk) 00:13, 10 August 2014 (CDT)

Template:SIMNav

What if your sims aren't in chronological order? Does it just start at the top? And does the template apply to all sims in the archive without needing to be put on the bottom of each page? Chythar Daniel Skyfire (talk) 01:25, 8 August 2014 (CDT)

Question, can the Rank line be changed on the individual sim pages to reflect changes in rank throughout the career? Chythar Daniel Skyfire (talk) 21:10, 9 August 2014 (CDT)
Next question: If you have a link to a sim that is on an external site like sims.starbase118.net or google groups, is it possible to link that as well, or would the sim have to be put in the wiki? Chythar Daniel Skyfire (talk) 01:03, 10 August 2014 (CDT)

Coloured links

In order to get a coloured link;

[[Main Page (link page)|<font color="yellow(colour)">Main Page (whatever you want to call it)</font color>]]

Main Page

I'm not sure why we're required to do that - it's just a thing the wiki can't seem to do by itself. Hope it helped! :D ♣ Deliera ▪ talk ▪ Vice Chief of Wiki Ops 17:43, 18 August 2014 (CDT)

Upgrade issues with TOC class

Please see the message I left with Jordan regarding the latest update to the wiki causing issues with those using class=toc in their tables. In most cases, we should be able to just substitute toc with infobox to restore the old look. ♫ Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman, Chief of Wiki Operations 18:58, 31 August 2014 (CDT)


Face List update for September

Please make sure that your ships Face Listing is updated and concurrent with your crews current roster. The FL should only feature crew members with character avatars. :D If you need assistance, don't hesitate to let me know!

Serial numbers

Hey Kolk. :) I was just looking at the edit you made to the serial numbers we have for our characters, and I couldn't help but think how it'd be unlikely both James and Jackford would get the same number. Jackford started as an Ensign in 2384, and James became a probationary Ensign at 2389 . . . The point of the serial numbers is to identify an individual, thus are all unique, so wouldn't these two characters have different numbers? :-| ♣ Deliera ▪ talk ▪ Vice Chief of Wiki Ops 17:36, 10 September 2014 (CDT)

Face List update for October

Logo picker

Saw you added a logo for the Vera Cruz. You can have the logo template incorporate your new logo by editing Template:Logopicker so that it will then show up wherever Template:Logo is used, including other templates that incorporate Template:Logo. ♫ Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr.
