Cheers for updating the roster, been so busy recently that I forgot about that. - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Lt.JG Salak</font>]] [[Image:Ronin.jpg|USS Ronin|35px]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 04:43, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

BTW, not that I mind that you're replacing the rank insignia that I created, but unless you created the new ones, you need to have the creator's permission to use the new ones, AND you need to credit him/her. (They DO look nicer than mine, but I gave permission for us to use mine, so I knew there wasn't a problem.) -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 14:41, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

Umm... where are those pips from? I'm gonna revert the Ronin roster for now (I personally like Dress uniform pips but still, the ones on the roster were closest to canon that I know) and correct the date at the bottom, but if you can dig up a credit like Varaan said... ;) - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Lt.JG Salak</font>]] [[Image:Ronin.jpg|USS Ronin|35px]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 11:12, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 
Well I'd try and link to the site on the pic description if poss, or on the bottom of any page the pips are used on. - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 14:39, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
 
==Ronny crew hist==
Ta for catching the rank mistakes. Is Parkers CMO status official? If so, the Roster needs updating. If not, crew hist should be reverted back to show her only as a Medical officer. It's a technicality I know, but Salak was the only engineer on Wallace for several months before he bacame CEO so it's not a given that the status is correct. Consistancy between the pages would be nice. Ta again - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 22:06, 19 April 2007 (CDT)
 
:Oh, and whilst I'm at it, you thought of using the sandbox (linked from main page) to play with table codes, get them looking how you like before implementing? You seem to be changing them on an almost daily basis... - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 22:09, 19 April 2007 (CDT)


::[[118Wiki:Sand_Box]], if you put the table there, play with the coding on there then copy the new table code across to the relevent page when you're happy with it, saves the actual page being the testing ground... As for Parker, just checked again and can't see the discrepancy I referred to the other day. Apologies about that, probably misreading on my part. - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 12:02, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
== Minor edits ==
Minor edits should be;
* Correcting a spelling/grammar mistake
* Resizing an image
* Correcting a name/file destination/category
If it's not one of the above, it's not normally a minor edit. :) '''[[User:Sky Blake|♣ Deliera]]''' ▪ <small> [[User talk:Sky Blake|talk]]</small> 23:00, 25 July 2014 (CDT)


==Pips==
Be sure also to check your user preferences, specifically under editing preferences. You may have it set to mark all your edits as minor by default.

Well as long as the site is mentioned somewhere. For those you tweaked, credit as "based on pips from [http://www.whateveritis.com www.whateveritis.com]" and for those straight across, just say "Pips originally from ...". Admittedly, i'm no good at crediting the pips I use either, keep forgetting (but I do credit at least on a subpage of my profile where all my uploaded pics are viewable), but RPG's generally pinch pics off other sites without permission or credit and they don't like it so if we at least try to credit on one page or even better, on the pic page, eg [[:Image:Nav-wallace.jpg]]. Probably not the best example as the credited site sadly no longer exists but still.... - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 12:09, 21 April 2007 (CDT)


== Rosters again... ==
== Existing Course Numbers ==


It's 3am here and I'm tired so I'll try and be quick. I'm still hearing complaints about edits to roster pages, which mainly seem to be made by yourself... the pip changes, the colours, etc... As a general rule of thumb, pages related to a vessel are maintained by that vessels crew.
Hi Jack! I love the courses and departments you're adding! However, please be aware if you change the course numbers of existing courses, you are causing other simmers' transcripts to now have their course numbers no longer match up with the course catalog. &#9668; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' &#9835;  16:35, 31 July 2014 (CDT)
::Also, '''HIST120: Vulcan History''' appears to cover the same ground as the three '''{{s|Starfleet Academy Division of Arts & Sciences|Xenology}}''' courses:
::*'''XEN120: Introduction to Vulcans'''
::*'''XEN220: Early Vulcan history through the atomic age'''
::*'''XEN320: Vulcan History from the Atomic Age through the Modern Era'''
::Perhaps if it were tailored to a more specific part of Vulcan history, such as just during the Reawakening? &#9668; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' &#9835;  01:58, 1 August 2014 (CDT)


Any changes should really be run through that ships CO or whoever on that vessel is (usually informally) responsible for their wiki page (For example, Cody on Indy-A, Toni on Challenger, me on the retired Wallace). I personnally tend to leave the busiest ships to their crews anyway out of courtesy and allow them to do as they wish with one or two exceptions (e.g. Nav menu colours). Sticking to inactive vessels (no crew to edit the wiki) or the less wiki-active vessels (see Discovery-B's unbuilt wiki section) means fewer complaints from CO's and XO's if any at all ;)
== Upgrade issues with TOC class ==


Ronin is fair game as that's your ship (and technically mine), as are the encyclopedia articles, your character articles, your NPC articles, etc... Just please refrain from editing the other ships rosters. - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 21:09, 30 April 2007 (CDT)
Please see [http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/User_talk:FltAdml._Wolf#TOC_class_changes_and_main_page_proposal_2 the message I left with Jordan] regarding the latest update to the wiki causing issues with those using class=toc in their tables. In most cases, we should be able to just substitute toc with infobox to restore the old look. &#9835; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup><small> ''aka Lt.Cmdr.

:That's okay, now you know. By the way, I still treat the Wallace section as my own given I built it from scratch (noticing it still had no website after nearly a year out of dock) when I was it's Chief Engineer a few years back. If you want to use any of the inactive vessels, I'd recommend it NOT be the Wallace ;) - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 16:43, 1 May 2007 (CDT)
== Crew History Table issue ==
 
:Hi Jackford - I don't mind you modifying crew rosters, but I would really apprecite a note so I can update my back-up files (in that off-chance something happens, like a crash... so it doesn't take me 1-2 hours to recode). ;-) Thanks. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 19:43, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
 
== Crew History ==
 
Don't mind filing people under various sections but it doesn't fit with past practice and the blurb at the top which covers what I've done with such pages in the past. If you want to change how people are filed then fine but you'll need to change the blurb at the top too and the Ronin has a lot of history to go over to list everyone in every department they've been in. - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 13:10, 12 May 2007 (CDT)
 
==Enlisted rankings==
Just so you're aware, in regards to the change you made in the enlisted rankings, "Yeoman" is not a rank but a position. So only people doing the Yeoman job would be referred to as Yeoman, not anyone of that rank. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 07:52, 16 May 2007 (CDT)
 
[[Talk:Ronin Staff Roster]] - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 11:27, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
 
== Hi again... Crew Roster again... ==
 
Did Idril ask for the photos there? Just if they're anywhere, it should really be the characters pages. If they're on the crew roster page, there's got to be a better way of laying it out then that? Putting them into the table would probably make it far longer. I'll try resizing so they're all the same height though, not too hard. - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 08:31, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

Jack, please make sure you include an edit summary with EVERY edit you make. It makes it easier to skim the changes. Thanks :) --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 00:55, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

== Talk:Ronin Crew Roster ==
Took a look. It's actually not an alignment issue. What's going on is that your table is putting in another row for that last column even when you haven't specified anything because the "hidden" additional rank and date tables are adding cells. Thus, I removed all possible line breaks to prevent that. However, then there was an issue with creating new line breaks if a third or fourth rank was called for. This is a limitation with the wiki coding, but I've placed a workaround by inserting a hidden character to force a line break. [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:Extension:ParserFunctions/2012#Using_.23if_to_generate_conditional_table_rows Read more here].


I've just reverted your blanking of it, thought I should explain why. Although it may not seem relevant, it's a reminder to others who may change it, they can learn from the point previously raised. It's relevant discussion to the page, so no reason to lose it.

Oh and I might as well add this here - you fancy writing the fluff for these fellas? I've created the page & links form the Ithassa Region, just need the details on it.
