Linking to new, useful pages

Hi
I made a list of all Craftable items but where to put the link to it?
On the Main Page or in the Beginner's Guide?

Hi
My vote is for the Main Page. A non-beginner who may have forgotten
something and came to the wiki for help may not think to look at the
Beginner's Guide.

--Ian Pottinger

Main page, or both even should be fine. The wiki is largely self-organising, so people can put stuff where they see fits. If it turns out to be a mess, we'll find a way. No point in over-organising before we know what information we want/have. --Sunspots (talk) 08:31, 1 February 2018 (CST)

Help with the translation

Hi
Can I help translating the wiki to Spanish?

--User:alfa5 (talk) 16:02, 8 March 2018 (CET)

Of course! The wiki is open for everyone. -- Sunspots (talk) 09:33, 12 March 2018 (CDT)

But I don't have enough permission for translate things. Seen that I need be in the "translator" group for that. --User:alfa5 (talk) 12:16, 16 March 2018 (CET)

Permissions and funky caching

rights issues with cleanup:

• Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links
  • Iron Sheets/en
  • Lead Ingot/es
  • Nickel Ingot/es
  • Nickel Ingot/es
• delete
  • Arc_Furance

Clear pattern there.

File:ItemWallLight.png WTH is going on with the caching there -- Unsigned by Neouni (talk) 23 June 2018

I don't really get the translation system tbh, it seems to give us these artifacts. What's the problem with File:ItemWallLight.png, could you elaborate? Sunspots (talk) 13:28, 24 June 2018 (CDT)

Uploaded a new version,
image doesn't update,
upload it again system said it's a match to the one already there,
force upload anyway and now the old image updates
and it still shows the original image, so caching error
can't revert to my old upload either that did magically fix itself because it's identical according to the database.

Something between database > cache > shown page is messing up. Neouni (talk)

Wiki article separation and redirects

Hi, currently there is a bit of chaos going on as to under which name an article about a Structure or Item should go and whether articles about Items and Structures should be merged or not.
(And if merged, which one should be the actual article and which one should be a redirect.)

Until recently, I would have said, that merging articles about Kits/Items with the ones about Structures might be the way to go.
But this approach becomes less and less ideal, when you have Kits, that can create multiple Structures. For example the Atmospherics.

For that reason, I would actually suggest to split up the articles, so that we have one for the Kit/Item and one per Structure variant.
This will also lead to less redirects. But it also requires, that there are obvious references between the associated Structures and Kits. It might even be best to put that in the ItemBox and StructureBox macros. Tell me what you think.
