Nav box

Hi, I replaced the Nav box on Aurora's page. The one you edited is actually a generic model made by User:Sky Blake for you and others to copy the code and paste when you make a NEW Nav box template for your character. The new Nav box is Template:JamesAuroraNav. I also changed the colors to match science blue. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt. Kadosh 19:50, 11 December 2013 (CST)

No worries! It's the only way to learn. In general, though, just be cautious about editing a very generically named page or template as chances are it's named that way because it's being used generically/widely by others as well. Also, you can sign your messages on talk pages by adding four tildes ~~~~ at the end. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt. Kadosh 19:58, 11 December 2013 (CST)


On a different note, I'm happy that someone's found it and decided to use the templates! XD Sky Blake (talk) 19:49, 21 January 2014 (CST)

User Page

Sure thing. The plan to follow I'd say is to just start small and work from there. I started my user page as if it were a character page (thus, the stats section and the service record table). I slowly then modified tables and sections as needed to fit me the writer rather than one of my characters.

An easy way you could start is just copy and past your character's bio into your user page but then just edit it for you now instead of Skyfire. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 14:30, 9 February 2014 (CST)

NPC Roster Template

I can't seem to recreate the problem: User:Rich/Sandbox

Can you describe the problem in more detail? –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 16:52, 3 March 2014 (CST)

Template

That looks great. I'll be able to customize it As i choose - Thank you Sky :) Lieutenant Alexander Richards (talk) 08:35, 8 March 2014 (CST)

Just to say, taking the templates from your sandbox, I've gotten them onto both my character page and my user page. Thank you again for your help - Rob (aka Alex Richards) Lieutenant Alexander Richards (talk) 11:48, 8 March 2014 (CST)

LOA listing

Hi there! Saw that you added a LOA listing for the Excalibur. To change the style of the roster for LOA listings, simply add LOA before the officer listing and the person will become a LOA listing with a darker background. Put these LOA officers under the new division labeled LOA.:

|{{hr|LOA}}
|{{LOA|Lieutenant JG|Alden|Cuthbert|Gold|LOA began 239103.26|CuthbertAvatar.jpg|STYLE=Slanted}}
Insignia Rank/Title Portrait Character Name Duty Post
Leave of Absence
02-LieutenantJG-Gold.jpg

Lieutenant JG
CuthbertAvatar.jpg

Cuthbert

LOA began 239103.26

When the officer returns, simply remove LOA before their rank and put them back up in the division (command, medical, science, etc) that they belong. You can also change their assignment posting to instead a note of when their LOA began as seen above. More instructions on how to use Template:Roster are available here.

Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 19:16, 26 March 2014 (CDT)

Done. Thanks, Rich. I don't know how I missed that the first time. Chythar Daniel Skyfire (talk) 19:49, 26 March 2014 (CDT)

No worries. Remember, though, you need to reply to messages on the other person's talk page, not your own, for them to get a notice that you sent them a message. :) Unless of course they stalk the recent changes page like me. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 21:01, 26 March 2014 (CDT)
I'd like to weigh in here (just quickly), but stalking the Recent Changes page is both fun and educational. Just like to point that out. ;D Sky Blake (talk) 22:09, 26 March 2014 (CDT)

Re: Recent Changes Stalking

I just edit the page and complain about what I had to do or get annoyed with something in the summary. :P I still don't know why I do that to this day. Sky Blake (talk) 22:26, 26 March 2014 (CDT)

References

Ah, I think that's because it's not been enabled (yet) on the wiki. We'll need to send a note to Jordan aka Fleet Admiral Wolf to follow these instructions under install: Cite Extension.Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 00:36, 26 April 2014 (CDT)

Extended transcript

I've received a request from someone else for an extended transcript beyond 60 credits. When it's finished, I'll send you the link. Is this person basically adding on an additional year? –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 13:26, 28 May 2014 (CDT)

Where exactly are they planning to put the extra classes if not in an additional year? Right now, it's following the Academy "rules" of a max of 5 credits a semester/15 credits max a year. Can you find out what they mean exactly? –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 13:41, 28 May 2014 (CDT)
Sure, I don't see why not. I think that's what Wesley Crusher and Icheb did. How many credits? –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 23:05, 2 June 2014 (CDT)
I'm fine with setting up a custom template to give an extra 12 credit hours or however many, but I don't want to open the door to going beyond the "rules" that were already laid out for the Academy course load in terms of the maximum amount per semester. It was previously 4 before the expansion to 5. If we allow it to 6 or more, it
a) involves a lot of recoding of the templates and
b) makes it unfair to the other simmers in our fleet who've set up their characters within those rules so as not to create an overpowered (or "overeducated") character. Like I said, more education is fine, but they would either need to accept laying it out across the required time constraints (so if 12 credits, then maybe 4 credits across 3 semesters either before their official start or as I suggested earlier, a fifth year). –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr.
