[show/hide]Edit descriptions (resolved)

I would say it would be a bit of a positive thing if you made sure to write what your edits were for every time, as it makes it a bit more easy to see what happened without having to go through the history manually. Might also be useful to do most of the edits at one time instead of several one after the other (especially if you don't want to write that many edit summaries).

You can preview the pages without publishing the changes, and then continue to edit without losing the progress. Just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks a lot for your feedback for I still learn the ropes with MediaWiki. I'll try my best to improve my behavior. :-)

Smodd (talk) 06:21, 17 November 2023 (CST)

Cheers. The ones you've written now seem very good. Nobody starts out knowing everything, and I had to learn these things at one time as well. There are probably a lot more things I don't know about MediaWiki stuff as well. You seem to have a good grasp of a lot of technical things with the stuff (you're making things look really good).

[show/hide]Many redirects (resolved)

I was just wondering if you'd considered the effects of having so many redirects for all the different colours of access card and such. It means that one gets every single one showing up in the search instead of just "Access Card".

I'm not really that knowledgeable about all the intricacies of stuff on the wiki, so I don't know if that's the usual way to do it or something. Just thought I'd bring it up in case you hadn't thought about it. But for some praise as well; I'm impressed with all the good things you're doing for the wiki, you're a star.

Eleftherios (talk) 07:36, 18 November 2023 (CST)

Well... I wondered that myself. Don't really know if it was the right decision because there is no direct "design guide" or such. In this case I worked with redirects because there were a few links which pointed at not existing pages (one for each colour).

Smodd (talk) 16:58, 18 November 2023 (CST)

That makes sense. And yeah, it's not that easy since there aren't stuff that explains it all for those of us that don't have a full understanding of everything with regards to a wiki. Not sure if it possibly would've been better to change the links for the different colours of Access Card instead of making redirects for each of them. Since one can make links that look like LED or Access Card (Yellow).

And just to make it clear; this isn't meant as an attack on you, since you're doing good work. It's just a lot easier to question the work of someone that actually do some work as opposed to those that don't do any work. And I don't really know anything more than you, so we're just two people trying to make the wiki better.

Not understood as an attack mate :) I'm all for communication!

[show/hide]More Sections (resolved)

UnknownUser (talk) 07:36, 20 December 2023 (CST) am i allowed to make changes on the main page for example make new section for all the legacy items or Vehicles and move some of the legacy items or Vehicles in the section?

Hey Unknown! Sure you can make new sections. ATM I'm working on the Equipment (so everything you can wear or hold in your hands) which I colour coded in orange. I try to fit all the mechanics, items, etc. in categories that make sense 'cause the main page is a mess with the list of everything. Just feel free to try an add something :-) Smodd (talk) 12:52, 20 December 2023 (CST)

French translation

Hey there, I would like to help out translating the wiki's contents into French. I was wondering how do I get the permission to translate pages? Do I have to ask you for such permissions? Thanks! HepiChestCow (talk) 11:01, 14 April 2024 (CDT)

Spam / Spammers

Hello, I've been doing a sweep and marking spam pages with Category:Spam as well as the users that created them (when not anonymous) with Category:Spammers.

Hope this helps, and let me know if there is any way I can help with other stuff.
