Title: Condicio: "Squadron List"
Post by: Mobius on February 17, 2008, 02:27:42 pm
After reading this (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Fighter_squadrons) I realized that it can(and it should) be expanded. Do you think it's the case to do it? Another important thing: there's no "Bomber squadron" page. I think there should be only one page("Squadrons List") in which all squadrons should be listed.

What do you think?

Expanded to include what? AFAIK all the canon squadrons are listed. And I'm not aware of any other squadron list page except this one.

I think that the confusion is arising from the fact that the page is entitled "Fighter Squadrons", which can be taken to mean all single-man combat craft or just single-man combat craft which aren't bombers. I think that it is the former...

Perhaps the page should be renamed to simply "Squadrons".

There's enough space for canon and not-canon squadrons in the Wiki. There's a page about Darius' 222nd Nightwolves from Blue Planet. I think all squadrons should be listed there.

Canon squadrons are separate from the rest of the list and I still don't know why bomber squadrons have been excluded.

I don't think that the list excludes bomber squadrons. The 64th Raptors are there, for example. What specific squadrons missing from the list?

And IMO we don't need a separate page for canon and non-canon squadrons. Both are easy to get to with this setup. But I'll go with whatever the community opinion is.

The 222nd Nightwolves page is one of several non-canon squadrons on the Wiki, which are listed here (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Non-canon_squadrons). What are you requesting, exactly? That we move the squadron list to the Nightwolves page?

Well anyway, we now have a Squadron list (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Squadron_list) page.

I would like campaign designers to write something about their squadrons, that is all.

EDIT: TrashMan's squads don't have a cardinal number near them.

Does it have to be a published campaign or can it be a work in progress?

Yes, any "living" WIP, or a famous dead WIP, has the right to be on the Wiki. In fact, we already have quite a few pages on WIP campaigns. When it comes to simple ASCII text articles like these, bandwith and server space are not big concerns.

Perfect...Steadfast and INFA are coming! ;7

EDIT: Please follow a numerical order.

EDIT2: Feedback? :)

MANY campaigns are missing, however...

By living, you mean announced with a site? Or just announced with hearsay?

WIP campaigns that will be released, like INFA1 and Steadfast.

If someone adds info about the campaigns they must be living, right? ;)

Only Steadfast has so many squadrons, other campaigns have less than 3 of them. 3- lines there won't change anything, the problem comes if there are plenties of pages about squadrons we will never see in combat.
