FAQ on Wiki Updates

[Asmala]

Has anybody tried to make a script to port the data from forum FAQ to SEWiki FAQ?

Unfortunately that only gets so far. What do you do with lines such as "6.4.1.2"? To make them look nice, they need that replaced with little section headers, which can't be automated. I have been using regular expression parsing for some grunt work, so all I need do is skim through and add the titles. Like these:

Code:

---

^([0-9]+).([0-9]+).([0-9]+) 

becomes:

\n=== ===\n

---

Check out sections 6.1-6.4 to see the latest progress!

Fun with wiki templates! Added a nav box template to the bottom of:

http://wiki.spaceempires.net/index.php/FAQ_6.1_for_SEIV

Also, see discussion on FAQ formatting!

I see the problem. It's a huge amount of work to port the whole FAQ.

I just made the section 1.2 to WikiFAQ. What do you think?

By the way, I don't quite understand the answer to the question in that section. I mean it's like the answer is to a different question.

This?

===
Q(Makinus): Does claiming a system have any diplomatic (AI) impact? As if you contest with another race a system the diplomatic instance with that race degrades?

A(Baron Munchausen): Yes, once you meet a race you'd be wise to UNclaim all systems that appear on your map of their territory if you use this method of concealing your own territory.
===

If so, it is an incomplete answer, but it is one way to never cause AI anger from overlapping system claims. If you do not claim any systems, the AI can never contest them via claiming.

===

Looks good, except you forgot the nav box template.

Here is a file containing the entire FAQ with the regex replacements. All of the === === type lines need a relevent section header put in. Dunno if this will help people add stuff faster or not, but there it is:

I see you've added the nav box. Good, the section is ready now.

Yep, that was the question I meant.
