Pips
Hey, Salak, look at the discussion here. -Varaan 08:00, 5 December 2007 (CST)
The gold Captains pips I only added because someone was already using them and the pips were trying to be like mine, but looked horrible next to all the other perfectly good ones, so... not my fault, but I'll fix it anyway. What do you think of the updated Ronin NPC listing? :) Wasn't sure what to do with the Civies, but the rest were simple. -Jackford B. Kolk 09:06, 5 December 2007 (CST)
marine Ranks?
Hey Salak I just want to make a request that you and wolfie, and the gang look into this please.
Right now in Reality, the Marine Corps. belong to the Army, and have army ranks despite being involved with the Air Force and Navy! Now a good friend told me that SB:118 does not allow marine ranks. why not? aren't we suppose to make this as realistic as possible?
BFinfobase have the pip images and you can go on wiki, to see the comparative which is the following:
Ensign : 2nd Lieutenant
Lieutenant J.G. :1st Lieutenant
Lieutenant : Captain
Lieutenant Commander : Major
Cmdr. : Lieutenant-colonel
Capt. : Colonel
Commodore : Brigadier-General
Rear Admiral : Major-General
Vice Admiral : Lieutenant-general
Admiral : General
Fleet Admiral : Marshall
I think adding this to applicants form will also add a new dimension to our entire simming, and the department is known as "Marine Corpoarations of dettachment"
even Memory alpha have these ranks listed...
I hope you do accept this suggestion. :)
Some considerations
Hello there.
Salak, I've been talking with our good friend Zekyel about this.
Memory Alpha has a Comparative Chart for StarFleet Ranks and 21st Century Mil.
The discussion here is: Can a SIMMER use the 21st Rank structure for Marines and other Ground based military units on SB118?
As far as I know, StarFleet re-structured the entire military ranks, so the Marine Corps use the same structure.
Actually, Marine Corps are not officially listed as valid Post of Duty on SB118.
What do you think my friend?
Regards!
Jhen
No that was me! When I applied the character was called Jhan but I mistyped it as Jhen later on and it stuck. Hutch 04:55, 23 December 2007 (CST)
Boiler Templates
Whoops... forgot that *chuckle* DCody 08:29, 2 January 2008 (CST)
I've been cruising the Help Section and familiarizing with what you, Varaan and Wolf have been doing and have a question: would it be easier for what remaining Fleet ships are left that do not have navs to create templates for the specific area (Active, Inactive, LoD) as was already done for the boiler templates? DCody 18:26, 4 January 2008 (CST)
- Yep... that's the idea, in any case. -lol DCody 10:16, 11 January 2008 (CST)
StarFleet
Poo on you. I like StarFleet better! --Wolf /talk page 12:25, 13 January 2008 (CST)
Hiding boilerplates
I don't know how it works. You should find an example on Wikipedia, look at it's template page, see how it works, and try it here :) I don't think it has anything to do with javascript or HTML -- I'm sure it's a function built into the wiki. --Wolf /talk page 18:22, 14 January 2008 (CST)
SB118 Attached
I'm curious as to why you're listing the Constitution and Ronin as SB118 attached? Also, we can remove the Columbia, as that's really more just an Inactive ship. And I'd call these "Attached Sites" or "Attached Installations" or "Attached Outposts" or something similar, since they're not all ships. --Wolf /talk page 18:37, 14 January 2008 (CST)
Mainpage Pic
I'm trying to get a drop shadow in behind, and one extension makes it solid, another leaves it as a drop shadow but puts an ugly colour in the background that isn't supposed to be there, etc. Each one looks fine in photo shop, and crap when I upload it here! -Varaan 13:23, 29 January 2008 (CST)
- Finally got one! BTW, what do you think of the new upper section of the mainpage I did? Good points, bad points? -Varaan 13:27, 29 January 2008 (CST)
RE: Template:Susan Banks
Hi Salak, I've been trying to get the menu on the left... period. Only have it on there. I finally figured a way to do it. I DID create a template. But when I put {{banks}} at the top of the main page it didn't show up. So I did the next best thing I could think of: I put the entire code in. And it worked, too. I really don't want anything complicated. Just the two pages.
Instructions are not for beginners. I've found that once I learn how to do it, then I can understand the instructions. I really do want to learn this. I'm reading the instructions over and over again. Somehow I'm missing something. Susan Banks 10:01, 30 January 2008 (CST)
RE: More about templates
I did want the single name [banks]. I now have figured out how to do it with ease. Take a look at Carrington and Chen for me. Did I get it right this time? Susan Banks 20:55, 2 February 2008 (CST)
RE: Irrelevent pics
As my character profile had stated, there are some classes of ships that are Federation standard that belong to the faction my character is associated with. I've posted some and pictures of his homeworld and some pictures of relative. If some seem irrelevant and would cost, I'll take away. No one ever told me there needs to be a limit. - Jacen
- I COULD put up an entirely seperate page about the faction my character originated from, but that might take time. Please tell me what CAN I do about writing and tell me directly again about the pictures. I'll mark the ones that are relavent and even write a page about them so when u click on the pictures in the gallery, you get a page of relavence about them. I got time to write specs on the ships of this faction. I'm a creative man.
- The first few is obviously what my character looks like. I picked Christian Bale cause he's a favorite actor of mind. I'll take a couple more off if the ones of him are bothing you. I'll take off a couple of the others as well. There really isnt much to work with here on my character and his faction. I thought it would be better to just compress all the information about him and his people in one page. If I am allowed another page to actually write my character's faction, then I'll think of something.
- The other pictures of people are my character's immediately family, his siblings in particular. I havent decided what his parents should look like as a reference. If you click on each picture, there is the page of them and a small description
- I dont know how to caption my pictures. I can explore around the buttons and see if i can work with, but just tell me how to make captions so u dont have to click on every picture for the more detailed page about them.
- What do you think I've done with my page so far. I am looking for feedback and advice. Ask me any questions and tell me things I should remove over what is relevant or not.
- I am starting to write about the sections about Gaia first, I need to know how do i do a particular edit
- I'm using this page as a template, but I want to put a picture of Gaia on the right top side like the one in Memory Alpha and then under it, the general list of information. Can you tell me how do i do that?
H92o conversation with Salak
- first off thank you so much for all you do.
- The spinning globe is like 7-9 actual images placed on top of one another. so shrink I could do cause I have the original I could also cut the number of images as well. see [1] GNU Image Manipulation Program -- if you like I can convert any flat square image to a spinning globe when needed with Gimp.
- Just to let you know I have developed just the titles of new species in our Eagles science dept. - I think I might of gone a little to far with some but If you want to categorize the ones that you thing are promising - thanks in advance for the help.

Thought it was time for me to site the source of my pictures. Been meaning too. Yeah, that Firefly hangman game traps me too, lol. :) Alana 21:03, 16 March 2008 (CDT)
Stellar Cart. vs Astromony
Technically they're not the same thing. Stellar Cartography is the geography of space, while astronomy is the scientific study of space and its contents (not all of which would be "geographic" in nature). If anything, Stellar Cartography should be a sub-category of Astronomy. -Varaan 11:15, 18 March 2008 (EDT)
Re:Main Page
Did I miss the memo?!?! :) -Varaan 08:52, 20 March 2008 (EDT)
We need an "OOC note" template
I think we need a way to show OOC data inline with the rest of an article. Any ideas? I was thinking a combination of sorts between something looking like the new cleanup template, and the SB118 ship nav template.
See Trinity Sector for how this would be used. --Wolf /talk page 02:04, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
- Yeah, I've given up on all the complicated stuff Wikipedia does with templates. There seems to be some coding in place on their installation that's not obvious to me and can't easily be done here.
- I'd like to segregate the OOC text a little more, just because I don't think the indent/italics is entirely obvious for noobs. Plus, I think it'll force people to include only OOCs which are logical. I think the stuff about positioning in Trinity Sector is a bit out of place, personally. --Wolf /talk page 02:36, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
User:Salak/Main Page
Must be a Firefox issue, then. --Wolf /talk page 04:43, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
- Yeah, looks like it is. One thing I did notice, however, is that we need to line up the title boxes. In the featured article box, the title is, say 5 px from the edge of the box, but in the "Browse 118 Wiki" box, the title is say, 10 px from the edge of the box. --Wolf /talk page 04:45, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
Template:Ithassa Region
I haven't been editing that actually... and I would prefer that you didn't revert it since the nav bar holds links to various articles one wouldn't be able to access without it. DCody 13:17, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
Ithassa Location
I'm not seeing what you're seeing here. Map 4 didn't show me what you had pointed out. DCody 22:03, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
- If you can outline what you're on, it would be greatly appreciated. Um... for the moment things like the Waystations and articles/maps pertaining to I'd prefer an email. ;-) I'm not sure exactly what pretext it was emailed to you. *chuckle* I'm not trying to hold back... but the Waystations project is a campaign region I'm hoping to launch when (or if) I get a command. DCody 23:00, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
TE System
I'll need to check, but I know where those posts are. DCody 11:28, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
- It's surrounded by the belt... far as information I know, it's a neutron star and a bunch of asteroids that inhabits the system.
- That'd be nice to read. We don't spend that much time on Eratis and what's in there. DCody 11:39, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
- Did Kare'em develop the system originally when he designed DS17?
- Or ask him. Kare'em's still with us. DCody 11:48, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
Igloo Cluster
That was my bad *makes face*... attempting to conform existing systems with the content bar before testing out the configuration. DCody 12:22, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
- Ouch... not awake yet. Igloo Cluster serves as a cluster of systems, but the article actually pertains to the IC-93 system. *sigh* Can we rename that template IC-93? DCody 12:31, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
Status of Featured Article?
Where are we at with this? I'd like to make sure once it gets started that we also feature the article on the main site news. --Wolf /talk page 03:33, 6 April 2008 (EDT)
- Any particular reason you want someone else to nominate? Even if it's your own ship, I'm fine with that for the first month until we get it going. We could also post on the forums about a need for nominations -- I don't think a lot of people watch the Recent Changes for these types of discussions -- they just go directly to the articles that interest them. --Wolf /talk page 19:46, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
Tables & coding
Sorry, you've eliminated my only option - give up. If you want to mess around with it, be my guest. But trying to get any of those features seems to require a degree in computer science, and I just can't expend the frustration on it :-\ --Wolf /talk page 01:46, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

Featured article template
Maybe we need a template for the featured article that invites people to improve upon it? --Wolf /talk page 19:35, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
What do the red exclamation points represent? DCody 22:54, 14 April 2008 (EDT)
Idrilmar 22:44, 15 April 2008 (EDT)Ok, Salak, I understand that you are very much involved with the wiki, but come on, let me finish a page before you move it!
Edit Summaries?
could you explain this to me... I thought it was clicking the box at the bottom when I make changes or additions to the edit page... but I got told I was still not useing edit summaries... Canreb 13:03, 16 April 2008 (EDT)
Stars
I have been doing some reading... but am not sure what info I should try and add to the star listing under each system in the Trinity sector I have made... any suggestions? Canreb 21:56, 16 April 2008 (EDT)
I was think about what you said... I think we could easily delete the separate page for each star in the Trinity sector... Instead just leave the info on the first page... the main system page... the one you go to when you click on the system name from the Trinity sector page... we should just leave the info at the top above the information regarding the location of the sector... that would require deleating the star from the template code for each star system... I'm not sure I want to start messing with the codes yet... copy and change sure... delete... not so sure... beside you told me deleting pages is for admin staff... I don't think we should delete the star info... and I hope that you find a way to include the star info for the other region undergoing rewrite... I think it is important to include the star info... it just doesn't need it's own page... What do you think? Canreb 23:37, 16 April 2008 (EDT)
I deleted the star from the Template:
| Gamma Taboa system | Star ·Belt I · I · Belt II |
, the star page had not been created yet... I think this is what we should do with the other systems within the Trinity Sector... the star info is recorded first on the main page for the star system... Canreb 01:18, 17 April 2008 (EDT)
- Having the star page separate IS important. It's a separate entity, just like each planet, whether inhabitable or not, is a separate entity. The star pages, unless something unusual happens to/with/because of the star, will be very short, yes. But the page should be there nonetheless.-Varaan 15:14, 17 April 2008 (EDT)
- I'm nothing if not efficient! :) Plus, the message really was for him, I just thought I'd let you know as well, right?-Varaan 09:21, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
- BTW, have you seen the "Template:Star" that I did? (I think the pic is too tall, though)-Varaan 09:23, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
- I know, which is why I haven't run roughshod over anything for either of those "regions". I have, however, instigated it for my Par'tha stuff, since my template sits at the top instead of the side (see "template:Par'tha"). I'd like to snaz it up a bit though, as well, but for now it serves its purpose.-Varaan 11:14, 18 April 2008 (EDT)

Asteroids
Ya, I know about the two categories. Asteroid Belts is a subcategory, specifically for belts and fields, where Asteroids ALSO will house info about individual asteroids, bases built in/on asteroids, etc. I am aware. The relevant fields/belts in Asteroids will be taken care of.-Varaan 14:03, 21 April 2008 (EDT)
Wellington
A thought for the dedication plaque as I'm not sure what the template you use is; "Next to a battle lost, the greatest misery is a battle gained." Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington Hutch 16:21, 21 April 2008 (EDT)
Not simmed it anywhere, not sure who's in charge of the Wellington anyway. As for the quote, I've read about half a dozen different variations on it! Hutch 03:50, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
Euphrates
BTW, don't know if you know this or not, but the USS Euphrates is a Danube class runabout assigned to DS26 (see Craft assigned to Deep Space 26). Since all runabouts are named after Earth rivers, I would have thought that OTHER starships wouldn't be. You might want to change the Redirect page to a disambig page, or put a note at the top of the Euphrates page, or something. -Varaan 08:38, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
Featured article promotions
If we keep featured article promotions to one a week, I'll post them to the main site news. Agreed? --Wolf /talk page 20:58, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
