Category Reminder
Don't forget to add your categories. *wink, nod* You might want to either delete some of this or break it into smaller sections if you'd prefer to archive some of this. ;) DCody 23:37, 12 December 2008 (EST)
- I managed to get a complete list of all the categories... and will add them later... still working on the 2 pages... when I finish them I will go through the list and find the ones that I think I should use... and boy is it a BIG list to go through... Canreb 00:14, 13 December 2008 (EST)

The Move Button
If you give a page a wrong title, there's a tab at the top of the page, to the right of Edit, that says "Move". Try that, it allows you to retitle a page and thus means less deleting is needed. - Lt Cmdr. Salak

Devitt
Does Devitt belong on the Eagle's Current Crew Roster? Seems like she's an NPC when everyone else on it is a PC? *puzzled* - Lt Cmdr. Salak Talk 18:09, 24 March 2009 (EDT)
As per a conversation with first Captain Taboo of the USS Eagle and then Captain T'Pen of the USS Challenger, my primary character has requested a transfer to the USS Challenger, however I wanted to continue to be of some use on the USS Eagle so after much discussion with Captain Taboo we considered all the NPC's that I had been simming for and he suggested that I promote Devitt to be my new secondary... this will become official once the transfer has taken place. At that time I will make the final adjustments to transform her into my new PC on the Eagle... however I have been doing a lot of sims with her already... way more than with most of the other NPC's I use on a regular basis...Canreb 09:26, 25 March 2009 (EDT)
- Ah right. That makes sense :) - Lt Cmdr. Salak Talk 12:10, 25 March 2009 (EDT)
Ithassa Region, Races & Other Items
I do not want to see any more deletion pages of original Ithassa Region races created by other members of the UFOP that have been redesigned as your sole creation, such as the Ramdii. Since I happen to know the simmer who named the Ramdii and on which yahoogroups list that name first appeared, I find this in poor taste.
Since I am aware what RAdm. Hollis and RAdm Anassasi said to you, I ask you from this point forward to not alter or claim ownership of any more pages that were originally designed to the Ithassa Region by your fellow UFOP members. Since you were told to rename several pages over a year ago, I am rolling back some pages to their original status. Any subsequent pages will not be touched, but we will check to make sure you follow through on what you were instructed to do by the COs of the Ithassa Region. DCody 03:23, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
In regards to that I have no idea what you are talking about. I have not touched anything within the Ithassa Region since haveing that conversation. What I have done is to take all the stuff I wrote for that region and reused it after renaming the races something else and placeing it within a region of my own design.
As I said then I will never create or write anything includeing posts as requested for that region ever. All the data that was deleted was done by someone else (Lt. Salak). He were good enough to send me copies of everything I had wrote before resetting everything back the way it was before I started adding things.
In fact if you look above you will see where you spoke to me about this under Vonda & Subsequent Pages and Deleting Pages. Also the whole conversation regarding getting back what I had written and my willingness to change the names of the races and rewrite then as my own creations.
As for the Ramdii. Anything that is currently there should have been returned to it's original format before I touched it originally. I have not even looked at any of the pages for that region as they are off limits to me as ordered. Lt. Salak was nice enough to do all the work of deleteing all the work I had added, even all the original data that I had created that had no referances to anyone else's work in the region.
I even asked him to delete the work I had done while a crewmember of the USS Triumphant which had operated in that region. So all the mission data and new discoveries we made as part of that crew should also have been deleted if I wrote them. Again in keeping with your orders to delete any and all works that I had a hand in within the Ithassa Region.
If for some reason this has not been done I apologize. Since I was still very new to the wiki at that time I left all the deletions to Lt. Salak. I had no idea and still am not sure exactly how a page can be returned to an older version altho Lt. Salak did explain it to me once and I might be able to figure it out on my own now.
However I promised to never touch, write, create or in any way do anything regarding the Ithassa Region and I have kept that promise. I have never returned to or even viewed any of the pages linked to that area since being ordered to stop. Canreb 00:19, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
- The problem is it was not done, and I'm at a complete loss to why this was not taking care of over a year ago. The "original" pages were marked slated for deletion, not your pages. Which is why I decided to wait before deleting any more of this in case it had not been finished. DCody 14:20, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
- Sir, I had all my original material moved and renamed well over a year ago. Even the stuff that was deleted that I had written has been moved and renamed. In many cases even rewritten so as to make it all completely original and totally my work.
- At the time that all this was being done I was still extremely new to the wiki. Lt. Salak did a lot of the retrevial and deletions as far as I know. He was the only person other than yourself that I talked to about it.
- Due to my limited knowledge at that time of how to use the wiki I did not touch anything once I was told to stop and desist. In fact I am pretty sure that I have never gone back and viewed any of the Ithassa Region stuff since then. I thought it was all being taken care of. I appologize for it not being taken care of. I guess I should have double checked.
- In fact that is about the time I got very busy creating the Trinity, Serellan and Jenatris sectors of space. A project that I got approval to work on first before I started since I learned my lesson to ask before I leap.
- I appologise for any trouble that this may have caused you or anyone else within the Starbase 118 community. It has never been my intent to cause anyone any problems. This has been and continues to be the best run Star Trek RPG that I have even had the privledge to participate in.
- I hope that I will be able to contribute to this group for many more years. Canreb 21:30, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
- Nonsense. It wasn't trouble as much it was a misunderstanding. What bothered several people were changes were being made that had not been simmed, and just created on the spot. Your contributions, whether on the Triumphant or elsewhere, are valued. :) However, with these Wiki pages, members are constantly adding stuff to existing pages, in part based on what the crew, whether past, present, or future, sims. This is why no Wiki page is ever truly complete. LOL What I hope I can encourage you to think on is just enough, but not completely flushed out... this especially becomes important if you pursue command. If we design too much detail, it curtails creativity.
- For example, let's take the Ramdii. ;) For years, even before I came back, simmers on all of the Ithassa crews used the ram-horned species that was a part of the FTU. They did not have a name. They are simply a NPC race for anyone to use. Then take one Lieutenant who comes along and says, you know, this race needs a name. Let's call them Ramdii, and put that on the main page of the Ithassa Region (where a bunch of these FTU races had been placed). That's all, just name them. Don't spell out the culture, or planets, or anything else. Someone else can step in and have fun with those elements.
- In this way, the Ramdii remain a flexible NPC race for anyone to contribute and add to. There's just enough there for other simmers to figure out what's been done before and work with, but allow for the maximum flexibility in case they get creative and add some distinctive element I could have never thought of in a million years. That's simming, my friend. ;) It's the collaborative effort of everyone, whether Trinity or Ithassa, or otherwise.
- As such, I love your creativity. But... everyone else has a say in the design as well. We should write something one of these days. DCody 00:18, 7 July 2009 (EDT)
Thank you. I look forward to possible working with you some day as well. I understand what you mean by everyone being able to contribute and being able to add to a race, planet, story, mission, etc. The planet Miri that I created as part of the Trinity, Serellan Sector project has been used twice by the USS Eagle and as a result I had to add a lot of stuff and then alter some of my original stuff as well as a result of sims we posted. It is still a long way away from being a complete entry. I am still hopeing that other crews will use it as it is also a tribute to the original Star Trek since it was the location of one of the original TV episodes. I have ton's of ideas for mission on that planet. Same as I have for the other one that the USS Eagle has visited twice in the Trinity Sector. Cart'hen III. Canreb 01:29, 7 July 2009 (EDT)
Main & Sub Categories
When you create pages and add a new '''Category:MiraIII'''' , I would like you to click on that link and create the category page at the same time (i.e. a short one sentence description, such as "Articles pertaining to...."). Our Categories Wanted page has exploded. ;)
Additionally, your User talk page here is getting rather lengthy. :D Please think about breaking all this into smaller sections, or you can do what I do, and move talk pages to user talk archive pages. If you need help, let me know and I'll be happy to lend a hand. --Cody /talk page
ILI and Changes
It is easier to simply edit the page, btw... :) We can rollback if/when needed. DCody 23:04, 8 September 2009 (EDT)
