Default strategywiki problems

Hello Unwise,
i admired your work at the strategywiki about Ulm - Early Era. Unfortunatly, the page was not a sub-page of the Dominions3 - page and not linked to it. One of the strategywiki-admins has deleted the page seconds before i was able to move it to the correct position: http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Dominio..._Awakening/Ulm
I contacted one admin and hope he will be able to resurrect your site. (I liked especially the part about the SO).

I know this is very unfortunate, but please don't stop contributing to the wikis.

You maybe want to consider working first on www.wikipedia.org before diving into strategywiki.

Wikipedia has a better help system, more explained guidelines as well as an 24/7 online-chat-help system.

Wikipedia entry about dom3 that could use more information (specs of the manual, system requirements, SHORT description of the game) : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom3

Please make Strategywiki entrys about Dom3-stuff as sub-entrys of http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Dominions3:_The_Awakening

for example, to link from the strategywiki entry about dominions3 to a not-yet-existing sub-page about "Dwarven Hammer" make an link like:
[[/Dwarven_Hammer/]]

sorry again for the trouble.
-Horst

Why is the table of contents on a new page now?
Imho it was better on the starting page.

Hi DominionsFan, i moved it to the "correct" position (see also the discussion page) to make the Show/Hide link on the topright corner work correctly. There existed two different Table of contents before (the "official" one with the blue show/hide link and the "false" one on the front page). I tryed to sync those two tables of Content but it was a ugly work. In my Opinion it is better to concentrate on one table of content, the "official" one (supported by the blue show/hide link and also the blue top menu). In this way, every user is able to hide/display the Table of Content from the wiki front page at will. Before, it always eated up a lot of space with redunant information.
Doing so will also help to make strategywiki more streamlined and professional looking. Please try syncing the two different tables yourself and you will see what i mean.

Ah finally I've found that show/hide thing.
Yeah this is good as it is now.

About a third of the way through my effort I realized that I had not properly made the pages sub-pages of the previous sections, and as I noted in my previous post, there did not seem to be any way to easily fix it without deleting and re-creating everything.

Thanks for your efforts in keeping the stuff, I now know how to do it properly.

Hm. Occurs to me that it shouldn't be too detailed -- we want it to be a good description of the game, something for a prospective buyer or for somebody looking for discussion/details, but not a replacement for the manual.
