Sim guide

Looking good from my view point sir :) Lt Cmdr Alexander Richards, talk 12:24, 27 February 2015 (CST)

Font squeeze into card :)

Hey noticed the longer name for species. You can tell it to change the font size to squeeze it into the space:

Lenette Firestarter
Betazoid/Vulcan
Chief Engineer USS Gemini. Fiery personality with a twist of mild insanity.
  • Aggressive
  • Intelligent
  • Displaced
  • Fierce
3 8 5

Firestarter, Lenette.png

I just added font tags to that: |SPECIES=<font size=1>Betazoid/Vulcan</font> ♫ Richtalk118Wiki Administrator 10:02, 1 April 2015 (CDT)

Mellitus Species

I looked at them and as they are currently described and written up they are not considered to be an intelligent species but some form of simplistic animal life form. The master animal list is a future project that has yet to be seriously tackled. Canreb (talk) 12:02, 16 April 2015 (CDT)

Become a wiki admin?

Saw your declaration and recent activity cleaning up stuff. Would you be interested in becoming a wiki admin? If so, send a request to the EC. It'd be nice to have another set of hands.

118Wiki:Operations may also be of interest to you. ♫ Rich118Wiki AdministratorSend Message 10:14, 29 April 2015 (CDT)

Sim name space

Do you mean name space like 118Wiki:, Special:, and MediaWiki: or do you mean creating a special category for orphaned sims? ♫ Rich118Wiki AdministratorSend Message 19:34, 4 May 2015 (CDT)

Ah. Well, looking into this, it looks like it would require some config from Jordan/Wolf, which we can ask, but would a category work just as well? ♫ Rich118Wiki AdministratorSend Message 19:57, 7 May 2015 (CDT)
It is a possibility as seen here custom namespaces, but I'm not as knowledgeable about the config and I wonder about this disclaimer:
Do it early: Manipulation of $wgExtraNamespaces must be completed during MediaWiki initialization; for instance it cannot be manipulated in a post-initialization hook like $wgExtensionFunctions.
Also, since there are a lot of sims already on the wiki, it would require moving a lot of pages that are already categorized under Category:SIMs or individual character sim categories. I'm also not sure if we WANT to exclude sim pages from searches by default. ♫ Rich118Wiki AdministratorSend Message 15:32, 9 May 2015 (CDT)
The disclaimer is there because while you can edit it post installation, it may not work properly in any hooks, IIRC. At least from what I've read. The reason we'd want to move it to a custom namespace is fairly simple: there are times you don't want to search a sim and instead want the wiki info. I've ran across this before where sims would come up first. If it's in a namespace, I can opt to ONLY search the Main namespace. Ceciri (talk) 00:36, 10 May 2015 (CDT)
All right. Well, the next step would be to contact Jordan/Wolf and request he add the SIM: namespace. Feel free to CC me or mention you've discussed it with other wiki contributors as something you think would be useful. He usually likes some context for requests. :) ♫ Rich118Wiki AdministratorSend Message 11:30, 10 May 2015 (CDT)

Re: Wiki Ops

Hey there! I am so sorry for the late reply - it's been a hilariously busy week for me. To join wiki ops, send me a forums message with your email address and I'll connect you up with the team! :D ♣ Deliera talk Chief of Wiki Ops 18:00, 5 May 2015 (CDT)

wikilinking to categories

Hey, saw you have the url links to categories on your page. You can actually link to a category within the wiki by putting a colon before the word category. This is also how you can link to a file without actually displaying it. Examples:

[[:Category:SIMs]]

[[:File:Galaxy class.jpg]]

gives you Category:SIMs and File:Galaxy class.jpg. ♫ Rich118Wiki AdministratorSend Message 13:03, 19 May 2015 (CDT)
