Used CSS to set the opacity of the silhouettes to 20% if the ship was lost or decommissioned. Also have it set so that lost and decommissioned ship names are italicized while active PC ships names are bolded. I see what you mean re: upkeep of three pages, but I do like the visual representation of the fleet. Could simply do an audit every two months or so to make sure it's up to date, asking wiki ops for volunteers, maybe one person checking the NPC ships A-J or the inactives, etc. Could also eliminate one of the pages so it's just ships by class and ships by OOC status.

:Hmmm, so that's a lot of ships that are going to need recategorizing. I think this is definitely going to be a work here and there kind of project as ships are slowly put into their proper categories. In the mean time, I think I'll leave the other two silhouette pages as I think they're still much more interesting to browse than just lists of names (kind of how the ILI is more interesting now than it was before). The work to keep those two pages updated will still be a lot less than re-categorizing all the remaining ships.

::There's no work added because I already completed those pages. :) It's going to take a while to fill up the currently mostly-empty [[:Category:Starfleet vessels by OOC status]] and [[:Category:Starfleet vessels by IC status]], so I don't see any reason to remove the completed silhouette pages and change the portal links until they're done. Even then, I don't think it's really going to add that much more work to maintain them, but we can see how it goes in the meantime until the recategorization is complete. The ILI is not completely based on categories either. Species are divided into various quadrants and not simply put into species by quadrant categories. It's just two different ways of presenting the same information, and though yes it's not automated like categories, the benefit of course is the visual interest for the browser, and I suspect like the revamped ILI, a graphical listing of ships will be of more interest to folks and actually ''encourage'' others to maintain the listing more than just straight text-only listing of names. We've seen this with the ILI, where seeing all those "no graphic available" placeholders have spurred people to touch up on species that haven't been looked at in years.
