Starfleet Rank Index: Marines

Hi there! I saw that you redirected Starfleet Rank Index: Marines to Starfleet Marine Ranks and Comparisons. The former is part of our Academy Library series of Starfleet Rank Index, and "official" pages like this take precedence over other pages. As such, I've reverted your change.

If you'd like, you're more than welcome to move the table from Starfleet Marine Ranks and Comparisons to the bottom of the Starfleet Rank Index: Marines page, if you think it makes it easier to understand! --Wolf /^{talk page} 08:42, 15 November 2011 (CST)

Sounds good. TZhou 23:40, 15 November 2011 (CST)

ILI Gallery

Hey - are we putting those coded links into the ILI gallery instead of adding links back to species pages from every picture? Tallis rhul 18:22, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Yes. I will update both galleries. Rich (aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt. Kadosh) 18:27, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Let me know if you want any help! Might have to brand you as my wiki guru from now on as well! Tallis rhul 19:11, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

No worries. Always happy to help! Rich (aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt. Kadosh) 20:09, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Notes/Question

Heya Rich. I'm holding off because we just did an update, but the Age template has left me confused. I don't want to start changing anything without checking in with you first to find out what you have intended for that template. DCody (talk) 08:44, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

• LOL... no worries. I didn't want to touch anything, since it might be a work-in-progress. It's all good! DCody (talk) 08:51, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Makes sense to me! Great work! DCody (talk) 08:22, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Re: Revamped front page

Sure, looks nice. However, don't want to do it until we make all those icons in the fleet box look uniform.

Re: upload text. --Wolf /^{talk page} 06:13, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

New change looks fine. I tried upping the size of the font to see if we could fill up some of that empty space. We might play around with that a little. Maybe the first paragraph is larger or something? --Wolf /^{talk page} 04:05, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Mmm... not sure about that. --Wolf /^{talk page} 05:02, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Of the two, I prefer the image on top, but don't really like either when they're centered. --Wolf /^{talk page} 04:33, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Don't like all the empty space under the intro text. Need to display it another way or increase the text size or something. --Wolf /^{talk page} 20:14, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Version 2

I would increase the font size of the ship names. Otherwise, looks fine. But what happens when we add another ship? :) --Wolf /^{talk page} 17:16, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Formatting on Richards, Alexander

Think I may have messed up the formatting on my characters main page and I can't seem to pin down a fix. I have a feeling my abuse of the
HTML tag might be the problem. Ens Alexander Richards 15:47, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Was hoping to have the professional timeline centered and the awards without leaving an open center tag in cae I add something like a sim history/short stories section to the main page Ens Alexander Richards 19:07, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Ta Very much Rich :) Ens Alexander Richards 19:45, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Formatting on Richards Alexander/Family

I went to red as the TOC to the page but came across a problem. Upon clicking hide, it shrinks the Richards side Nav and not the TOC. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? Ens Alexander Richards 11:20, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Fixed of my own accord. used __TOC__ above the Nav template. Ens Alexander Richards 12:13, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Azul needs help with images

Hey... think I got it now... I was deleting links to remove mistake pages...

Rigt now I'm trying to sort how to import pics.

Any advice?

Azul/Steve

New Bio

No problem Rich.

It's all good.

New Mercury member

Hi Rich I'm working on a bio for the new science officer on the ship and she has not gotten her username and password just yet. She will get back with me about it. I'm not sure how to add her to the crew template.

Question about updating new character page?

Hi there! I'm honestly not sure if I'm posting in the right place or not--my apologies if not!

I was recently added to the crew of the Mercury, and directed to work on completing my character's wiki page at some point. I'm a bit new at the wiki here, and am having problems adding an image for my character, as well as some bits of information. I've been trying to learn how to edit my page on my own, and worried that I've made some mistakes while trying to add a picture. Again, my apologies if I have--I would love any advice or assistance! Sorry to be any trouble!

re:Hey, no NPC kidnapping!

lol! Sorry! I had Loupaz over on the Challenger (her most memorable sim there was when she told Tobias Walker that the Acting Chief of Security/Tactical's office had been floaded in fire foam when the Challenger was being overrun by malfunctions), the Ronin and the Mercury while I was there, and I realized that I neglected to bring her over to the Embassy (and then to the Avandar) when I left.

I kinda need her for the Avandar's current mission - our previous power failure was the cause for a lot of drama . . . and Loupaz kinda fits the job of being annoyed when it suddenly "fixes itself". ;D

Sav's insignia

How about this for Sav's civilian insignia?

Yeah, call me a keen bean, I've been at the roster already. ;) And thanks for the welcome, it's good to be back.

Memory Book Page

Yes, if you would please delete the memory book that would be great. I also have some pictures uploaded a long time ago that I'd like to have deleted/removed as well. Thank you for your help! ~~Alana

Vash's Roster Image

Cheers for that, I was having a bit of a nightmare with the sizing and didn't notice you'd corrected it until I'd had two more attempts, haha. Reverted to yours now so it should be fixed!

One question I did have... on my profile, the "Biographical Data" bar seems to have gone above the index box, and I can't work out why, or how to get it back down underneath again like everyone elses! Any ideas? Vash Solinari (talk) 14:20, 12 September 2013 (CDT)

Thanks! Again! Hehe. Vash Solinari (talk) 15:15, 12 September 2013 (CDT)

Re: Team badge

Well . . . I'm not allowed back for several months, apparently, so if that's the case, then I'm really not actually a team member. It was my understanding that the badge was for team members. The team page says I'm inactive, but I'm very well up and about and quite happy to to give individual feedback, so there's really no point of my being listed under "inactive".

Also: You guys should really consider adding "Must be a full time simmer" to requirements for joining. :/

Anyway, thank you for your concern, Rich. It is appreciated. :) - Sky Blake (talk) 19:47, 30 September 2013 (CDT)

There is no "Must be a full time simmer" requirement for joining but there is a general rule that IC comes first for contributions to the fleet. I'm going to contact you directly because this isn't the only OOC group you've volunteered for and this is rather a public place for a discussion on the matter - I'll make sure to copy in your CO. Diego Herrera (talk) 17:03, 13 October 2013 (CDT)

Re: LOAs on Roster Page

Not a problem. If it makes you feel any better, the LOAs were listed on the Crew History page.

We actually have them on our Google Docs version of the roster - I'll chase that up. :D Sky Blake (talk) 16:48, 10 December 2013 (CST)

Re: JamesAuroraNav

Right, sorry. Still learning the formatting, and should've caught that. Oops. Thanks for fixing it. I'm still new to it.

Thank you!

Seriously. Thank you. Thank you for keeping the Garuda's part of the Face List updated. You have no idea how helpful it is to me. Some parts of the FL haven't been updated since mid-2013. The Mercury/Garuda's is always spot-on. Thank you so much. ~ Sky Blake (talk) 00:33, 6 January 2014 (CST)

Roster Template

Hello Rich. Alex Richards here, had a go at using your template for the rosters for Ops (on my Sandbox) but don't think i got it quite right. Mind taking a look for me? Here 15:08, 9 January 2014 (CST)

Unfortunately not. Would really appreciate the help :) 15:13, 9 January 2014 (CST)

Scratch that! Just read up on how to do it on the internet with my editing program :) 15:27, 9 January 2014 (CST)

I think I've got it. If not i'll had it over to you and your superior image editing software :) Lieutenant Alexander Richards 16:03, 9 January 2014 (CST)

Cheers for the help again Rich. If I'm going to be putting effort into the wiki/my character/the ship it might be time I invest in a decent image editing program. Lieutenant Alexander Richards 16:30, 9 January 2014 (CST)

2collars

It's definitely an option! The only problem is that (since the original purpose to of the 2collars for me is to extend to fill to each side of the template) we'd have to adjust character images in the template accordingly. Not necessarily a problem, but I have a habit of being picky. :P

Speaking of which, I've discovered that 289px is a decent size for an image. XD

Wait, scratch that. I'm confusing myself. DX My only concern is that it'd be a bit complicated for those new to the wiki.

I'll get onto creating those other colours for the blanks. :D Sky Blake (talk) 22:33, 10 January 2014 (CST)

Done. Sky Blake (talk) 23:02, 10 January 2014 (CST)

I think it should be recommended to have images 240px and over to use the template. Thoughts? Sky Blake (talk) 00:06, 11 January 2014 (CST)

Can we rename them? Sky Blake (talk) 00:10, 11 January 2014 (CST)

I can convert them into jpgs if you'd like? Sky Blake (talk) 00:14, 11 January 2014 (CST)

Rename to M1-2ndLieutenant-Green.jpg? Sky Blake (talk) 00:24, 11 January 2014 (CST)

I just finished having dinner! XD All good! I think it's a lot easier, actually. There's not as many Marines in the fleet, and if they need any help, we're here. :D Sky Blake (talk) 01:24, 11 January 2014 (CST)

Pip Template

Are you standardizing the pips for the fleet Rich? Been an idea milling around in my head for a while. Lieutenant Alexander Richards 16:26, 28 January 2014 (CST)

Anything that makes that easier is a bonus in my book. I've lost count of the amount of nifty templates you've added now such as the age one Lieutenant Alexander Richards 16:46, 28 January 2014 (CST)

Crew Template.

Awesome job as always Rich. Thanks :) Lieutenant Alexander Richards 16:04, 29 January 2014 (CST)

Agree, thanks a lot for the explanation, can it stay on my talk page for a reference - only if something changes make a change there. Wanda DyAmone (talk) 19:44, 29 January 2014 (CST)

Hi! Lovely job on the crew roster. I will probably switch over to using it relatively soon but bear with me while I have a look at it and get my head around updates etc.

Also, re: teal for science, the reason I use it is because it's canon. Medical and science have never been different colours on screen - Science was blue in season 2 of TNG, at which point Medical was also blue! Diego Herrera (talk) 08:42, 1 February 2014 (CST)

Hey - is there any way you can add Security and Engineering to the divisions? Diego Herrera (talk) 16:23, 1 February 2014 (CST)

Thank you, Sir, you're a gent! Diego Herrera (talk) 02:26, 2 February 2014 (CST)

Just got the chance to play with the roster and nav templates for crew. Might take me a while to get used to fine tuning the images using the size options but otherwise is incredibly easy to use. Managed to get the Gemini roster and Crew nav done in 30 minutes. Or at least, have them in a state where it just requires some touching up :) Lieutenant Alexander Richards 06:21, 2 February 2014 (CST)

Hey Rich, great work on the roster templates! Is there one that works for NPC rosters, or is it just Senior Staff at the moment? Whale (talk) 11:00, 2 February 2014 (CST)

User Page

Hey, Rich. I was inspired by your user page, and I was wondering what exactly you used to make it how you did. I want to compose a similar page, but don't have nearly the expertise you do. So far all mine has on it is a redirect to Chythar Skyfire's page. Would be happy to discuss in greater detail what I'm looking to do. Chythar Daniel Skyfire (talk) 02:01, 9 February 2014 (CST)
