Hi Jackford, I don't mind the pages being edited, although I've worked hard to get them set up so they are easily updated and the way I like them, but before you leave, would you make sure they are showing correctly? Toni 22:25, 2 May 2007 (CDT)Toni

?

Toni, please define "Player Non-Playing Characters" for me. It sounds like an oxymoron. Do you mean NPCs that are specific to PCs, rather than those NPCs that anyone can use? -Varaan

I don't know what else to call them. They are NPC's created by and played by only specific PCs. We needed them separated, to avoid having them listed with the Ship NPCs that anyone can play. If there is a better way of establishing that difference, I would be greatful for the suggestion. T'Pen refers to them as "PNPCs" which I assume means "Player Non-Playing Characters" Toni 10:44, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

Could also mean "Personal NPCs"(?) Might be a better term to use, to avoid confusion. -Varaan 11:13, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

Sounds good to me. Whichever you think would be best if fine with me. Toni 06:26, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

Generic names for ship pages

Toni, please remember that any pages that apply to a specific ship, race, duty post, etc. need to be specifically named. For example, you can't use "Personal NPCs" for the Ronin, because it's possible another ship might want to create a page called "Personal NPCs" for their ship, as well. Each page's name is unique, and must be different from other pages. Thus, if you want to create a page like "Personal NPCs" for the Ronin, it needs to be "Ronin Personal NPCs." There's more information at Naming pages properly. --Wolf /^{talk page} 19:15, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

Sorry sir, I will try to remember. This has not been my week, and I do apologize for the error. Toni 03:01, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

It's alright Toni, we're all human and we all make mistakes. I hope the week hasn't been too bad and that things improve. Oh, and keep up the good work :) - Jay^Talk 04:22, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

Thanks, Jay. I really enjoy the variety on tasks. Toni 10:33, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

Not a problem. I've seen praise recently for Varaan and myself from a few corners but people like yourself and Cody contribute a lot and we do appreciate that. Building a Wiki is a team effort, wouldn't be the same without the contributions of yourself and others. Oh, btw, if you reply on our talk pages, we don't have to go through the "recent changes" page to see if you've replied ;) - Jay^Talk 12:03, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

Change to rosters

Seems like no one noticed this? :) Talk:Challenger Non-Playing Character Listing‎ --Wolf /^{talk page} 10:30, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

Sorry about that, Sir. I have been busy for the past week, but I have installed it on our NPC page. What I see happening is that it overlaps the menu, and there it really no room for an image. I think if we lowered the font size to 1 then it will be fine. Toni 23:19, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Whilst you're doing the NPC pages, if you aren't going to use each page anymore, can you just type {{delete}} onto them just so it's clear and we can delete the page. Cheers - Jay^Talk 05:56, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

Sure, will be happy to do that for you. Toni 18:18, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

Boslics

Toni, I deleted the Boslic category the first time because there should only be a category if there is more than one thing to categorize :) --Wolf /^{talk page} 21:20, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

Okay, sir, I wasn't aware that one had been made. Should I take the link off of Hella's page and do away with it the Boslic species page? Toni 15:21, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

Insignias

Hi, I found the insignias for Starfleet for the new Challenger NPC listing, but do we have insignias of the same size for the Marines? The ones I have for Colonel are not the same size. Toni 17:39, 11 September 2007 (CDT)

Can you not crop them? Remove some of the bar to make them the same size? - Lt.JG Salak^Talk[ 03:49, 12 September 2007 (CDT)

Yes, I can do that. No problem. Just didn't know if you guys had some uploaded already. Toni 16:28, 12 September 2007 (CDT)

I'm not sure. I know I had to crop pips for Admiral Anassasi last year but I'm yet to be on a ship with marines so I can say that I haven't. Someone else may have done though. - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 04:45, 13 September 2007 (CDT)

No problem, I fixed the ones that were needed, and will all some as they become necessary. I'm pretty sure that the Challenger is the only ship in the fleet that utilizes Marines to any large extent, so the probablity of pips for them already being uploaded are null. Toni 09:26, 15 September 2007 (CDT)

Categorizing

Toni, the category "Characters" is for primary characters, or secondary characters on a different ship. NPC characters should be listed as such in the "Non-Playing Character" category. This is mostly because I'm extremely picky about organizing things, but also to avoid confusion on who's an NPC and who isn't. Thanks. -Varaan 09:55, 24 September 2007 (CDT)

Understood. Toni 14:28, 28 September 2007 (CDT)

Willyard, Ashlyn

Not quite sure WHY this page should be deleted. The character maybe decased, indeed, but has been part of the plot in the past surely? As such, they may yet be mentioned in the future and thus info on the character may still be useful. Also, the character is part of the Challenger's and the groups history, thus I'm reluctant to delete it. - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 13:02, 29 September 2007 (CDT)

Okay, up to you. Her twin sister is the NPC that replaced her. Are there any links to it, if not I will put one from her sister's page. Toni 15:14, 29 September 2007 (CDT)

It's linked to from this talk page, from Ashlyn Willyard which is a redirect, and also from Turner, Toni. Easy to find out, on the left hand side just below search, the first option in the toolbox is "what links here". - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 05:58, 30 September 2007 (CDT)

DS24 Naming

Uh...wouldn't this be more appropriate if it was named "Deep Space 24"? You could still have the Challenger category associated with it. -Varaan 09:40, 18 January 2008 (CST)

Sure Deep Space 24 would be good. Thanks for suggesting it. We had only referred to it as DS24, and I didn't think about calling it anything else at the time. Good Call. :) Toni 10:42, 18 January 2008 (CST)

Attention

Please see Talk:Turner, Toni. - Lt. Salak^Talk 15:42, 25 February 2008 (CST)

Rank Pips

I've just spotted the Marines Major rank pip you uploaded a week or two ago. Are you aware of Category:Pips? Rank insignia for Majors can already be found at Category:Marines Major Rank Pips. - Lt. Salak^Talk 16:40, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

No, I had made a page for the Challenger Marine pips, but you took it down, so when I went to find them they were no longer where I put them, and there was no indication of where you had moved them... thus the upload. :) Toni 14:03, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

Ah! i overhauled the whole lot over the course of 4 months (Sept - Jan). If you click on any pip image, they're all in categories now within the same framework. Should be easy to find any pip you want now. - Lt. Salak^Talk 14:06, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for letting me know. Toni 14:09, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
