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)
Your latest query
I'm afraid I have no clue what you're asking me :) Can you give me an example? --Wolf /talk page 23:08, 1 July 2006 (CDT)
- Oh... maybe this is what you mean? Training/Missions
- Source: [[User talk:Varaan#Training/Missions|Training/Missions]] --Wolf /talk page 23:11, 1 July 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. --Wolf /talk page 23:13, 1 July 2006 (CDT)
- The only reason I can imagine why it might not work is if the system recognizes, when you're going to a sub-heading, that it's on the same page and outputs bolded text instead of a link. Not sure, as I haven't tried it on a regular namespace page -- just here on the talk namespace ;) Try and out and see if it works :) --Wolf /talk page 23:16, 1 July 2006 (CDT)

Vulcans on Memory-Alpha
Instead of adding the line at the top of each Vulcan article about canon info on MA, why not just add something to your nav wiki, like:
Would de-clutter your articles a little ;) Just a thought! --Wolf /talk page 01:08, 2 July 2006 (CDT)
Par'tha Species
There are a number of species who are listed in the "Par'tha" species category who do not have the "Par'tha Races" template on their page. Did you want that template added to them? I'm about to do a sweep of the Non-Canon species category to add another category for those species who have or have not been reviewed as playable by the CC. --Wolf /talk page 22:52, 2 July 2006 (CDT)
- I also noticede that you had placed the Par'tha Races template near the bottom of some pages. I'm assuming this was so that it did sit directly to the left of the ILI template? If so, you can just set the style property to "clear:right", which means that no other floating element (like the ILI template) will be to the right. I did this, and here's how it looks: Balivari. If you don't want it like that, you can change it at Template:Par'tha Races. Just remove the "clear:right" from the CSS thing. --Wolf /talk page 23:14, 2 July 2006 (CDT)
Re: Hoverbikes
My apologies on the Stormtrooper bit. It seems that I misread 'Stroopers' in the article. Ah, well...
I am not trying to say that elements from different universes cannot be borrowed or shared, but I still believe that they should be made unique to the universe they are being used in, to try and eliminate similarities in name. Looking back, my initial reaction was prompted by the term 'Swoop', which I have always associated with another universe. This is more of a semantics issue than a concept one. I have no problem with the idea of an empire that has a vast army with anti-grav technology. I would just not want such to be confused for some sort of weird crossover.
Similarly, I would object if somebody in, say, a Stargate RP wanted to invent a new weapon for their spaceship and call it a 'phaser', a term which is easily recognizable as originating with Star Trek. A term may not be owned by a universe, but there can definitely be connections there, that an author may or may not want to make use of.. --RogueGypsy47 11:34, 17 July 2006 (CDT)
