==Stars==
==Stars==
I have been doing some reading... but am not sure what info I should try and add to the star listing under each system in the Trinity sector I have made... any suggestions? [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 21:56, 16 April 2008 (EDT)
I have been doing some reading... but am not sure what info I should try and add to the star listing under each system in the Trinity sector I have made... any suggestions? [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 21:56, 16 April 2008 (EDT)
I was think about what you said... I think we could easily delete the separate page for each star in the Trinity sector... Instead just leave the info on the first page... the main system page... the one you go to when you click on the system name from the Trinity sector page... we should just leave the info at the top above the information regarding the location of the sector... that would require deleating the star from the template code for each star system... I'm not sure I want to start messing with the codes yet... copy and change sure... delete... not so sure... beside you told me deleting pages is for admin staff... I don't think we should delete the star info... and I hope that you find a way to include the star info for the other region undergoing rewrite... I think it is important to include the star info... it just doesn't need it's own page... What do you think? [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 23:37, 16 April 2008 (EDT)
I deleted the star from the Template: {{Gamma Taboa system}}, the star page had not been created yet... I think this is what we should do with the other systems within the Trinity Sector... the star info is recorded first on the main page for the star system... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 01:18, 17 April 2008 (EDT)
:Having the star page separate '''IS''' important. It's a separate entity, just like each planet, whether inhabitable or not, is a separate entity. The star pages, unless something unusual happens to/with/because of the star, will be very short, yes. But the page should be there nonetheless.-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 15:14, 17 April 2008 (EDT)
::I'm nothing if not efficient! :) Plus, the message really was for him, I just thought I'd let you know as well, right?-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 09:21, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
:::BTW, have you seen the "Template:Star" that I did? (I think the pic is too tall, though)-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 09:23, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
::::I know, which is why I haven't run roughshod over anything for either of those "regions". I have, however, instigated it for my Par'tha stuff, since my template sits at the top instead of the side (see "template:Par'tha"). I'd like to snaz it up a bit though, as well, but for now it serves its purpose.-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 11:14, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
==Asteroids==
Ya, I know about the two categories. Asteroid Belts is a subcategory, specifically for belts and fields, where Asteroids ALSO will house info about individual asteroids, bases built in/on asteroids, etc. I am aware. The relevant fields/belts in Asteroids will be taken care of.-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 14:03, 21 April 2008 (EDT)
==Wellington==
A thought for the dedication plaque as I'm not sure what the template you use is;
"Next to a battle lost, the greatest misery is a battle gained." Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington
[[User:Hutch|Hutch]] 16:21, 21 April 2008 (EDT)
Not simmed it anywhere, not sure who's in charge of the Wellington anyway. As for the quote, I've read about half a dozen different variations on it! [[User:Hutch|Hutch]] 03:50, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
==Euphrates==
BTW, don't know if you know this or not, but the USS Euphrates is a Danube class runabout assigned to [[DS26]] (see [[Craft assigned to Deep Space 26]]). Since all runabouts are named after Earth rivers, I would have thought that OTHER starships wouldn't be. You might want to change the Redirect page to a disambig page, or put a note at the top of the Euphrates page, or something. -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 08:38, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
== Featured article promotions ==
If we keep featured article promotions to one a week, I'll post them to the main site news. Agreed? --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 20:58, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
== USS Independence ==
Looks better than what it was :P --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 21:18, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
== RE: Ronin pages ==
I thought it looked a lot better with the text to have a boundary that wasn't the end of the page.  It seems to fit on it better. --[[User:Ethanbrice|Ethan]] <sup>[[User talk:Ethanbrice|taltalk]]</sup>
::Sorry man, didn't see it.  I'll use the SB118 Engineers logo.  Cheers :)  --[[User:Ethanbrice|Ethan]] <sup>[[User talk:Ethanbrice|talk]]</sup>
==Jenatris==
I have looked at the map saved on the wiki... and am confused by the addition to the Trinity Sector... Jenatris Cloud?... Jenatris Corridor?... nothing on the map like it... non canon info listed for it... it can't connect to the Trinity sector unless their was a stable wormhole... or other stellar phonomenon... so what's up?  [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 11:18, 27 April 2008 (EDT)
Checking the '''Star Trek Star Charts''' book the one from which the star maps have been copied for our use here at this wikki shows that both the Jenatris Cloud and Jenatris Corridor should be located 4 sectors directly east on the edge of Federation space... I have no problem doing the work to place it in the right location... heck I am even willing to fill in the data for the 3 space sectors inbetween... I have almost finished the Klingon Part of the Trinity Sector... and have some notes for the Romulan part which is smaller... which brings up the question... instead of putting all the systems in the side nav window... why not just leave them as they are... listed alphabetically by system and empire... only put races... empire and other info in the side nav window??? [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 09:43, 28 April 2008 (EDT)
Finally figured out how to crop and add the image for the Trinity Sector... now people can see the map and all the system listings on the same page... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 10:08, 28 April 2008 (EDT)
==Template==
not sure what I did wrong... for some reason my Template:Ql'tu will take me to all the right links except the system page... tried a few different things but can't figure out what I did wrong... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 16:59, 28 April 2008 (EDT)
I see you made some changes... unfortunately the Template:Ql'tu still will not send you to the Ql'tu system page... not sure why... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 11:20, 30 April 2008 (EDT)
I got it working... not sure what I had done wrong but I fixed it... Took a look at the work you are doing on the Ithassa Region... like what I see so far... nice to see that some of my earlier work was not useless... '''Ga'ter, Ramdii, Prantis, Oxian and Ilbera'''... want any help?? I am just finishing filling out the details on the new races I added to the Trinity Sector... would be willing to fill out the info for the one's mentioned above that I created... that is if that would be helping and not stepping on your toes... let me know... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 23:26, 20 May 2008 (EDT)
==Trinity==
I am almost finished working on the Trinity Sector... just working on the Romulan systems now... I was thinking that we should delete the systems from the nav window... Also now that I was able to add a image of just the Trinity sector each system should have a brief 1 or 2 line description after a 1 line description of it's location on the Trinity Sector map... that way someone can scroll down and look at a system then scroll up to find it on the map... no need to flip back and forth between pages... [[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 10:32, 4 May 2008 (EDT)
== Tiger deck layout ==
One of the important parts of the deck layout that we always played on the Phoenix-C was the staircase behind the viewscreen leading down to the CO/FO quarters -- no way to access them directly via turbolift. You may also want to review the Phoenix deck layout to see how the "Bridge Module"/Port/Starboard deck layouts figure in. That table was setup to show how the unique deck layout separates areas that may be on the same deck. (i.e.- can't get to cargo bay 1 from cargo bay 4, without going down to deck 5 first.) Scrutinize [[:Image:Steam detail.gif|this image]] for more clarity on the subject. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 20:07, 5 May 2008 (EDT)
:I mis-spoke slightly. Bridge module has three levels, not four. The fourth deck would be right under the deck module and span about 3/4 of the width of the ship. Though, between the graphic I posted and the one you posted, there are noticeable differences. So, give-or-take -- but either way, keep in mind how the bridge module is separate from the other areas. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 22:17, 5 May 2008 (EDT)
:: No, I don't have an image of the bridge, unfortunately. Did you check Ex Astris Scientia? --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 19:54, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
::: I'd imagine the layout of the bridge would be pretty a generic small vessel bridge type. But none of them have the double staircase behind the viewscreen :) --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 00:38, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
==Indy Registry==
Thank you... on occasion I forget how many XXXXX are assigned/swapped out for additional letters. :P [[User:DCody|DCody]] 11:50, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
==Indy Roster==
Proof a second pair of eyes is useful. I had completely missed the # in the assigned sort order. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 11:05, 9 May 2008 (EDT)
: I may actually roll it back. As interesting as it is, editing purposes make this a bit more trouble than its worth. [[User:DCody|DCody]] 11:31, 9 May 2008 (EDT)
==Tiger & Wallace Plaques==
Yard Engineers, Line Two: Andy and Marcus Henderson. ;) Too cute!! :D [[User:Alana|Alana]] 18:36, 26 May 2008 (EDT)
==Ga'teran==
OK... I finished the rewrite on the Ga'teran and their slave race... I also did both of their star systems... I only tweaked the Ga'teran homeworld... it looks like you were useing GURPS Space Builder to work out the details... was not sure how most of that info would fit into Star Trek so I left it for you... it was either that or I do a complete format change to make it look like what I have done in the Trinity Sector... was not sure if I should go that far... I hope that the Ga'teran and the Jeuws are acceptable...[[User:Canreb|Canreb]] 14:44, 27 May 2008 (EDT)
==Was vs Is==
Sorry. A lot of my writing is in present tense, and a lot is in past tense, with no reason why. I think the past tense has come about because I view the wiki as being an archive of everything we've done, etc...and I envision someone in the future reading it as part of research - hence the past tense.-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 08:17, 3 June 2008 (EDT)
:See the discussion page for [[Lonara Van]].-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 10:57, 3 June 2008 (EDT)
::I understand and agree. As I said, there isn't really rhyme nor reason for me switching back and forth. I will change the verb tense, because I know it will make you happy. ;) -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 11:09, 3 June 2008 (EDT)
:::Also, the planets in the [[Valcari system]] have indigenous names given to them, much like the Sol system, which is why even though they'd officially be Valcari I, Valcari II, etc, they also have the names given to them by the indigenous species of that system, the [[Valcarian]]s (see [[Valcari III]]/Joma-I discussion page).-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 11:05, 3 June 2008 (EDT)
==Planetary Names==
The way I've been doing it is this: if a planet has an indigenous sentient population, I'll name the planet page after whatever the people call it (ie. Earth as opposed to Sol III). Unlike our solar system, however, the other planets that DON'T have populations, will get named after their stellar positioning in the system (ie. Should be Sol I, not Mercury, Sol II, not Venus - though the naming would be mentioned/explained in the page write-up). Again...no real rule here, though maybe we want to make one and stick with it.-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 11:15, 3 June 2008 (EDT)
:What? Giving up so easily? ;) Okay, how about we do it this way then:
:#If there are people living on the planet, and they have given it a different name from what the stellar positioning would be, we title the page after the planet's "name." We still mention the stellar positioning in the description. We also make a redirect page from the stellar position name to the planet "name" page.
:#If there are no people living on the planet, we title the page after the stellar positioning, and mention the name given to the planet (if there is one) in the description. We also make a redirect page from the planet "name" page to the stellar position name.
:Ex. Sol system - each planet would be Sol, I, Sol, II, etc with the names "Mercury", "Venus" etc mentioned in the description. "Sol III" however would only be a redirect page to "Earth".
:Question: What if people didn't live there, then did? ie. Sol IV becomes inhabited (people living on Mars). Should the page name still be Sol IV, or should it be "Mars"? -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 11:33, 3 June 2008 (EDT)
