== Ship classes ==
Wouldn't we be better off just putting all the ships on one page, each with a subheading or something? I think the only time we really need a whole page for a vessel is when it's non-canon. Seems a bit superfluous to have all these ship pages that just have "examples within our fleet" when we can put all of them into a page with subheadings. Thoughts? --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] 19:05, 14 January 2006 (CST)
: Well, if you remember the discussion we had with Maximoff, I'm really not interested in having all of the canon stuff on this wiki, because there are other places (DITL.org, MemoryAlpha, Wikipedia) that have better, more complete listings for these things. So, if we do want to have a ''list'' of ship classes on here, that's fine by me. My only objection is that we don't need a seperate page for each ship class if there's only "examples within our fleet" and a picture or two. They can all go on one page, then, and make it easier to access all the information. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] 12:05, 15 January 2006 (CST)
:: Hehe... no, that was not my intention. I just want to make sure we don't have 50 individual pages for ships with very little information or information that is better found elsewhere. So why don't we do this: let's have one page for each "type" of ship -- Explorers, Cruisers, whatever. On each of these pages we'll have a list of each ship class in a subheading. For all the canon ships which we don't have any information on and/or information is better found elsewhere, we'll just have a small picture and a list of "examples within our fleet." For all non-canon ships and/or ships where we have the best information or unique information, we'll do the same thing, but also do like Wikipedia does and have a link which states "Main articles: <nowiki>[[Name of Noncanon Class]]</nowiki>". That way, the appearance is uniform, and we don't have unnecessary pages, and it's easy to find the ships. Agreed? --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] 12:39, 15 January 2006 (CST)
::: The starship classes page is looking much better. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] 01:32, 29 January 2006 (CST)
== Redirects ==
The redirects I created are shortcuts. i.e.- "Independence" to "USS Independence". Best to create and keep these, because it makes it easier for people to find the pages. We really only need to delete redirects when the source file is incorrect, or it's a double redirect. But otherwise, redirects are good because it helps people find things faster :) ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect#What_do_we_use_redirects_for.3F See also] --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] 14:21, 29 January 2006 (CST)
:Oh, also, you can see what the source of a redirect is by clicking on the "what links here" link on the left-hand "toolbox" thing. Just go to the redirect's actual page (not where it redirects to) and click on that link, and it'll show you what goes there. Should help you find the source of redirects. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] 14:22, 29 January 2006 (CST)
::Hehe, that's ok. It's a useful endeavour for most pages to remove the redirects. The only ones we really need are the ones that are more commonly referred to as a shorter name. I.e.- most people are going to search for "independence" and not "USS Independence," so the redirect is good there. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] 14:27, 29 January 2006 (CST)
== Chief Engineers Office (Wallace) ==
Thanks for that, forgotten I hadn't tweaked the menu template for the Wallace yet... Just tweaked it so hopefully that should be harder to forget for Wallace articles in future... :) - [[User:Salak|Jay]] 07:00, 28 March 2006 (CST)
== Re: Crew Histories ==
You don't say! I'm working on the Indy's now as it looks like I might be transferring there and it needed work, but the Wallace was a hard one to research... A vessel which had been recommissioned, no sims in sight from it's first time in service... I must have spent hours sifting through the UPDS and the old Reporters and TDR's trying to find info from 2001 for it. At least Indy's'll be easier as all the sims are still about. - [[User:Salak|Lt.JG Salak; Chief Engineer, USS Wallace]] 10:10, 21 April 2006 (CDT)
== Steadfast template ==
Beat me to the revert... - [[User:Salak|Lt.JG Salak; Engineer, USS Independence]] 07:41, 26 April 2006 (CDT)
:When has that ever stopped me from trying to work on other ship pages? - [[User:Salak|Lt.JG Salak; Engineer, USS Independence]] 07:45, 26 April 2006 (CDT)
:LOL, fair enough I suppose... - [[User:Salak|Lt.JG Salak; Engineer, USS Independence]] 07:51, 26 April 2006 (CDT)
== Re: Spatial Regions ==
Sounds great to me :) --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] 18:31, 11 May 2006 (CDT)
== Campaign Category ==
I think that [[Corporate Sector Association]] and [[Valcarian Imperial Republic]] might be better suited as sub-categories of the Par'tha Expanse, instead of having their own entries in the "Campaign Regions" category, don't you? --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] 16:23, 18 May 2006 (CDT)

:: Yeah, I think what you want is covered in the example above. To link to something else on a page, you have to have a sub-heading to link to. So as long as you're linking to that sub-heading, just use the page name, then #, then the sub-heading name. I think that'll work properly. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml.

Revision as of 04:19, 2 July 2006

Training/Missions

Were we planning on revamping the missions? I thought we were just talking about revising the tutorials? --Wolf 23:37, 19 Aug 2005 (CDT)

Let's start with the tutorials. We can move on to missions after that. I don't want us to be working on too many things at once. I think we can still test-run the new mission(s) in the meantime, though. --Wolf 22:45, 20 Aug 2005 (CDT)
