Added a couple of Wiki pages

Just a quick FYI to anyone interested.

I just recently added a couple of Race pages to our favorite Wiki site. They are as follows:

the Drow - A dark elven race from Dungeons & Dragons.

the Skorr - An avian race from the Star Trek animated series.

the Tellarites - A porcine race from Star Trek.

the Wookiees - A Sasquatch-like race from Star Wars.

I'd also like to add a special thanx to Atrocities and Dogscoff for their advice and assistance, respectively, with this.

I'm kinda disappointed ~ There's been 50+ views and not a single comment, thought, or opinion..... [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

Re: Added a couple of Wiki pages

Ahh, it's a thankless task, wikiing. Just keep plugging away, and eventually people will start to realise just how cool the wiki is. Once it hits a certain 'critical mass' (where people can go on there and reasonably expect to find the informationthey are looking for) then it wil really start to take off, and that's when ppl will properly appreciate those that have contributed.

Re: Added a couple of Wiki pages

I've added the text in the Facilities article to the top of the Facilities category too. I've included the stub tag. If you want to expand the article proper or the cat description, well don't let me stop you; but let's confine the long stories about how facilities evolved from SE II to III to IV and all that to the article, and keep the cat description concise, shall we? I know of a wiki where some cat pages are "graced" by endless stories of in-depth information, and it's not that I have an aversion to it, but I think it'd be better to keep the cat pages clean http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Added a couple of Wiki pages

I just copied the text from the Facilities article to the Facilities category description.

If you want to add info, fine, but let's keep the category description short, containing only the basic info, OK? Save the long stories - i.e. how facilities changed throughout the series, and that kind of stuff - for the Facilities article proper.

I know a wiki where category descriptions can reach well into two pages in Word, and it might be pretty, but it's not what a category description is there for. Long stories, that's what articled are for; short, concise descriptions, that's what category descriptions are for.

When I posted my last post, I was somewhat drowsy and exhausted from a long day at school. I wasn't really typing clearly; I hope this cleared some things up.

Re: Added a couple of Wiki pages

I appreciate your efforts to be helpful, but I have no idea what you are refering to with the term " Faclities " ???

I only added a couple of Race/Empire pages, none of which was very large in size and description.

Re: Added a couple of Wiki pages

The last thing (other than talk pages) that Strategia edited was:

http://wiki.spaceempires.net/index.p...&rcid=3560

Then some talk of it on talk page:

http://wiki.spaceempires.net/index.p...SEWiki_Project

Recent Changes is a handy link.

I never wrote a single word anywhere concerning facilities, so what and how could anyone have moved, edited, bent, folded, spindled, or even mutilated it ?

Noone ever said you did... Read his first sentence again and note the "too", as in, he also added stuff to the wiki.

Re: Added a couple of Wiki pages

ahhh you were in se4 game mods(3.0) shipsets (3.2) orion

and strategia was in SEWiki Stubs sub categorie facilities

suggestion place a reverse link back up to shipsets at top of article label it "back to shipsets" makes it much easier to navigate

besides suggestion would conformn to building shipset pages excerpt "General information
Include whatever information you feel is important. A link back to the Shipsets (SEIV) page is a good idea,
"

just a suggestion as it would make browsing the shipset pages much easier for those like me who got there from an outside link (point to fyrons post up above thanks fyron)

Re: Added a couple of Wiki pages

I noticed that I was mentioned on the creation of the shadow ship set on http://wiki.spaceempires.net/index.php/Shadows. This is incorrect. I did not create the shadow ship set. I might of made my own edit to this but I don't remember. I don't want to take away anyone elses props. If you are the owner of this wiki site please remove my reference. The ship sets I did work on were the Centauri, League of Non-Aligned Worlds, and the Vorlons. I also did some edits to the Earth Alliance.

Thanks,

<font color="red"> Psimancer </font> : If you check out each link I posted for the Wiki pages I added, you'll see that they go directly to the page itself. Should limit confusion significantly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Added a couple of Wiki pages

His suggestion was about a link back to the Shipsets (SEIV) article, not about being unable to find the individual shipset articles.
