The character page is for the character, your user page is for you as a writer. Not sure if your NPC's should really be listed on your character page. See Creation and Upkeep of a Character Page (specifically Character Page vs. User Page) for more info. - JayTalk 10:23, 5 August 2007 (CDT)
Ah, thanks. Made the change. It didn't really seem to fit before; thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Not a problem. Part of my role here. Need anything, feel free to drop me a note. And common practice is to sign comments such as these with 4 Tildes (eg ~~~~) which provides a date stamp with your username so we can see who comments and when without looking at the page log. Like so: JayTalk 13:00, 6 August 2007 (CDT)
Good to know! Let's see.... Yep, there it is! Onewhoisseveral 21:48, 7 August 2007 (CDT)
- For the record, the system didn't inform you as it wasn't on your user talk page (that's this page). It'll only tell you of messages here ;) - Lt.JG SalakTalk 18:28, 16 December 2007 (CST)
- Oh! Well, then, I'll have to pay more attention. There isn't a way to receive notifications of discussions on pages beside my talk page in the future, is there? Onewhoisseveral 18:31, 16 December 2007 (CST)
- If there is, I don't know of it. You could keep track manually by watching the Talk page though, any edits will appear on "My Watchlist" which you can find top right of your screen, next to your username et al. I'd use it more myself but I watch so much of the wiki that Recent Changes is more useful for me, but I use the watchlist on wikipedia. I hadn't seen your reply on here myself so apologies for the very late response. - Lt.JG SalakTalk 10:43, 15 January 2008 (CST)

External/Interwiki links
I've changed coding for a few of your links recently. I know you put the old coding in a while ago, but curious if you knew about interwiki links? To link to a page on Memory Alpha, just put ma: before the linked article title but otherwise link as normal. For wikipedia, it's wp instead of ma. For example, for the Defiants page on Memory alpha, see ma:USS Defiant. Also, for external links, no pipe is needed as the first space in the code for an external link serves the same purpose as a pipe in the code of an internal or interwiki link. Hope that makes sense :) - Lt. Salak

- I'd just figured it out when I noticed this message, actually! Thank you for letting me know, though - figuring it out was definitely a time-saver. I also hope you don't mind that I've been using your template. It's the best one I've seen, hence why I'm converting them all over. -Onewhoisseveral 20:57, 18 March 2008 (EDT)
- Course I don't mind! It's quite encouraging actually, I've seen a few people using it recently. Case you couldn't tell, it actually started off as the ship nav menu template, think it was Template:Wallace to be exact, and I've tweaked it over time :) - Lt. Salak

They've never been a strong point of mine, lol! Thanks for fixing that one on Klakkr's Drift :) - Lt. Salak

Previous Assignments
I used blue colours on my Medical History table which might work better for Ventus? Just my 2p. - Lt. Salak Talk 17:36, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
- Oh, yeah, I like those a lot better. Thanks! Heh heh, I was working through a table of colors and values, just picking ones at random and seeing how they looked ^_^ Onewhoisseveral 21:32, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
Categories
Been adding [[Category:SIMs|V]] to the sims that you're putting up to add each to the relevent category. If there are going to be more sims posted on here for Ventu, might be worth setting up another category solely for Ventu sims, similar to Category:Salak SIMs. - Lt. Salak

- Hehe, yup :D By the way, have you considered splitting sections off from Ventu, Lily onto new pages? Lily's is the second largest 1-page bio on the whole wiki. (Only Tel-ar, Tal is larger) - Lt. Salak

- I *was* just thinking about it, actually. Salak's, for example, is a lot more streamlined, and there are definitely enough sub-headings under Lily's that I could do that. I think I'll look into that.... Onewhoisseveral 20:17, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
USS Galaxy Profiles
Just double checking that you want USS Galaxy Profiles deleted? It can be restored if you want to retrieve the information for some reason in the future. - Lt. Salak Talk 15:58, 1 August 2008 (EDT)
- Yeah, it's fine to go. I have all the information saved on my computer, and nothing ever really came of it, so it's pretty much just taking up space now. Thanks for checking, though ^_^ Onewhoisseveral 16:03, 1 August 2008 (EDT)
Had a quick play about with your new Ventu nav, trying to break the central block up a tad, but haven't changed the coding of the actual nav. Came up with the following;
|
Lt. Commander Lily Ventu Executive Officer, USS Tiger |
|
|---|---|---|
| Medical Records · Working & Living Spaces · Sim Archive Lily's Life | ||
| Edit this nav |
...would have tried to add a background colour on the right, but the patch isn't on a transparant background so it'd have a big white square behind it anyway. I've chopped a load of bolden/unbolden tags out too, a lot of them are redundant (even some I left in quite prob). Tried moving the "Edit this nav" over to the right, below the patch, but not satisfied with any of my attempts at that so far. If you don't like the changes, don't feel you have to use it; just trying to give a few options - Lt. Salak Talk 19:29, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
- I think I like this one better, actually. Especially the background color, which I was having trouble with before (so, of course, I just left out :P). Thanks! Onewhoisseveral 20:38, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
- Ah, thank you! I thought you'd been experimenting on the Nav directly, otherwise I would've copied. ...But, as I think of that, I guess that wouldn't've made much sense. Well! Either way, thank you ^_^ Onewhoisseveral 23:46, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
pips
I've got every pip of these sets on my PC, I'm uploading the ones that are needed on our roster at the sec. - Lt. Salak Talk 00:57, 12 August 2008 (EDT)
- Sorted it. The pips haven't been uploaded in every colour for every rank, Only adding more now when the need for them pops up. Given that the pips of that style on my PC total nearly 2000 images... ;) - Lt. Salak Talk 01:03, 12 August 2008 (EDT)
- Awesome. Also, I think that we must've been updating the NPC roster at exactly the same time last night ... I, for one, am awed by your lightning-fast reflexes. And massive pip collection.... ^_^ Onewhoisseveral 13:03, 12 August 2008 (EDT)
I've made a change to Salak's nav to incorporate the ships crest, dunno if it might be of interest to you. - Lt. Salak Talk 03:29, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
- Hmm. I like it, but my only reservation is that I would have nothing on the right side of the nav. Any ideas? Onewhoisseveral 20:09, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
Something like....

Edit this nav |
- I played around with it just a little and got the below. It solves the problems I was having with it, in the main - feeling unbalanced left to right, the "Edit Nav" thing feeling off - I quite like this one, though ... a definite improvement! *copies over* Onewhoisseveral 12:49, 14 August 2008 (EDT)

Edit this nav |
You are allowed to hate my ideas sometimes ya know ;P Anyway, glad you like it. Salak's nav went through a few intermediate stages before I settled on the current incarnation, much as Lily's has done. Just look at the Sandbox edit log and you'll see my experiments with various things. Slight change of topic, but something that Cmdr Riley asked me to try; Riley, Sidney. Note the title line. Not sure bout it myself, think the blue background drops down too far, but can understand the idea, wouldn't mind trying to fine tune it with an eye to rolling it out. - Lt.
