I'll fix that.

Edit: All duplicates that already had the same information down was deleted. I fixed the links linking to those pages to lead to the correct ones. What I will not fix is the duplicate entry for Suicide Junkie and the Warp point and warp-point since they are two entirely different things.

Another Edit: I'd like geo or Lazarus to do something about the alphabetical index, since it seems obsolite now. I don't want to carelessly delete it, fearing retribution from Lazarus

More Edit: Good job, Arkcon, and thanks for editing the spelling errors

Too true, I fixed some, but I wasn't sure about others. Good job TerranC and thanks.

Yeah, I feel the same way about fixing some errors. Duplications and such. At the beginning I didn't really know what I was doing. I'm thankful that someone is willing to fix some of my mistakes.

I used a spell checker when I edited, so that why some errors were fixed. A guy at work saw some other ones MS Word couldn't notice.

The process of change continues

The actual alpabetical index I have been updating is on the Encyclopedia Malfadorica page. If you look at the Main Introduction page, in the body of the greeting is a link to an "alphabetical index". That link actually takes you to the "Encyclopedia Malfadorica" page. I updated that yesterday. It's should be up to date now.

There is also a page called "AlphabeticalIndex" which is something I played around with early on to find a way to automatically script a dynamic index, but it never worked right. I stopped updating that page. I asked Laz to delete it but he must have forgot. I just now edited it and made it link back to the "Encyclopedia Malfadorica" page to avoid confusion.

Continued from Official Image Collection thread.

Should the WIKI be used to plug your projects, dogscoff?

Why not? Other projects have entries, my project just hasn't been released yet. I realised when doing the neo-standard pages that the expansion pack would need it's own entry, so I put that page together in order to have something to link to. Once I release the pack (this week hopefully) I will alter the entry so that it's about something available now and not something available in the future.

Hey, if someone is going to go to the trouble of creating and editing pages for the wiki, and they have a mod or website or whatever they want to plug on a page, by all means have at it. It's only fair afterall.

Just keep it clean of course, and don't go editing all the pages putting banner ads on them or anything. Just keep your plug relevant to the page it's on and we'll have no trouble with it.

but isn't there a real difference between them? I mean I wouldn't mind going to a boarding party!

Hehhehhehheeeeee! I think we may have found the replacement for the Cantina thread when the health inspectors shut it down! Imagine a full scale drunken party that just Boards ships, takes them over, eats/ drinks them out of supplies then moves on to the next one - kind of like that rogue party in HHGTTG.

As long as it doesn't start boarding other threads...
