==Roster standardization==
Here's a project we may want to implement, comments welcome:
* [[118Wiki:Roster standardization]]
==Upgrades==
<strike>So, after going through the whole process to upgrade, I realized that our server doesn't use php5.0, which is what MediaWiki 1.7 and above require. So much for that.</strike>
Whoops... done! --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 18:55, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
<br> There are no plans to upgrade MediaWiki just yet. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 14:26, 16 August 2009 (EDT)
==NPC Listing Tutorial==
The [[Creation and Upkeep of NPC Listings]] tutorial is online.
==Categorization==
New information on [[118Wiki:Guidelines for Species Categories|categorizing species]] has been posted. Questions regarding the Intelligent Lifeform Index should be directed to Captain [[Phoenix, Robin|Robin Phoenix]].
==Using "Discussion" Pages==
[[Help:Discussion pages|New tutorial]] on using Discussion pages is up.
==InterWiki Links - New Feature==
We now have a new feature on the wiki, which allows us to link more easily to both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia] and [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Main_Page Memory-Alpha] articles.
It's quite simple. Using the "Gorn" article, as an example, here's the links you would use to link to the Gorn article on both Wikipedia and Memory-Alpha:
* Wikipedia: <nowiki>[[</nowiki>'''wp'''<nowiki>:Gorn]]</nowiki>
* Memory-Alpha: <nowiki>[[</nowiki>'''ma'''<nowiki>:Gorn]]</nowiki>
Now, keep in mind that the link would appear as such: "You can read more about the [[ma:Gorn]] on Memory-Alpha."
To remove the "ma" or "wp" prefix on the link, just mask it like you normally would, i.e.-
* Wikipedia: <nowiki>[[wp:Gorn|Gorn]]</nowiki>
* Memory-Alpha: <nowiki>[[ma:Gorn|Gorn]]</nowiki>
Links appear in the "light blue" coloring that external links on the wiki use, BUT they DO NOT have the icon that shows they external links.

==To Do: Create Navigational Templates==
==Featured Articles & Article of the Month==
This is a lot easier than it sounds. Basically, navigational templates are little menus which help you find your way around a particular group of pages which share a common subject. For example, if you head [[Template:Embassy|here]], and scroll to the very bottom of the page, you'll see an area on our wiki (information on the Embassy project) where I've implemented a navigational box.  
In the process of being introduced. See [[118Wiki:Featured Articles]] for details of nominating an article for featured status. It's hoped one Featured Article per month will appear on the Main Page as an "article of the month".
 
To learn more about navigational templates, head to Wikipedia's help file on them, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Navigational_templates here].  


Then, head to our wiki and find areas which could use this kind of organization. A good place to start would be the "Academy Library" files.
