Title: Suggested Addition
Post by: Akalabeth Angel on July 02, 2008, 11:37:55 pm
      What about something in the modding database which lists all known ships (either official) or non-official that are available (or not). Similar to this old list which has been around for years:

If you're suggesting something different, however, feel free to make the page yourself.

     Hmmn, the second one is along the same lines though there's not much there (except a link to the original database, haha)

    I got an unrelated, dumb question:

How does a person add a page to the Wiki? I get the whole, edit a page thing. But if there's a page with a bunch of links for example, and you add a link, how do you add the page you're linking to?

Click the link.

     Okay cool, I thought that might be the case but didn't want to go making a mess before I was sure.

Well, that's the n00b way, actually. I know there are pages which are not linked to, but I haven't got the faintest idea on how to do that. Well, since they're not linked to, nobody visits them anyway ^_^

You enter the article's name into the search field, click Go or Search, and click on "create a page with this title" (or something similar).

But as you said, if it's not linked, no one will visit it, except if you put it into a category.

      Cool, and actually you have to hit "Go". Because if you hit "Search" the create a page option doesn't appear.

It's there, Johnny. You were looking in the wrong place.

It's below the "Search results" text (the name of the window that comes up). It says: "You looked for Article name" Clicky on it, and you're there.

Is there  a helpful anyway that explains the code used in page creation? As it's obviously not HTML

Nevermind, found it: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing)



Btw, FreespaceFreak, thanks for doing up a wiki page for my campaign. I assume FreeSpaceFreak=SpaceFreak.

Another question.
I goofed up.


I created a webpage for the Renegade Legion mod. However, I named the page "Renegade legion" instead of "Renegade Legion". Is there any way I can fix this? Because I'm a damn perfectionist and it bugs the heck out of me to not have the L capitalized.

You can move it to a new page named "Renegade Legion". Use the "move" command which is one of the tabs above the article's name.

Sweet thanks

That also has the advantage that it automatically creates a redirect from "Renegade legion", so that anyone who searches o nthe latter will still end up in the right place :)

No, it shouldn't...it's an INF SCP ship.

          But if there's a non-SCP version with Inferno R1 then it would be technically "released"

The low-poly Bryn has been around for a while. I think I got my copy from Sandwich.

I was under the impression it was available.

Since SA has it, I call BS. :P
