heh. So many plugs, so many errors

.

I believe that Abbreviations were to be left out? or can we go crazy?

Terran, I don't know. I thought we were trying to avoid separate articles just for abbreveations, or plurals or alternate spellings. But with all the people working on it maybe absolute consistancy is impossible. I certainly don't want to come off as the Encyclopdedia police or anything.

The FQM/FTL error was mine, signed as chocolatefro, so sorry, i thought i knew what i was talking about, but i didn't. But i'm sure you've fixed it so its all good right?

EDIT: I didn't want to take the liberty of doing this so, Laz, can we have a strategies page on the first page too? This seems to be a hot topic around here, however is it too divergent from teh focus of the encyclopedia? I think its fine but your call.

Skulky/CF: What I've done is created an "Interesting Links" page. It'll be the start of our first index. If you like, go ahead and place a Strategy section on there, and links to major strategy articles. I'll place a link to that page on the front page.

Geo: Ooh, but I'll be the police! Sort of at least

It's generally preferable not to have two separate entries for the same thing. i.e. mod and modification. What happens is that those two pages get different content, and some people link to one but not to another.

HOWEVER--what you can do (I've just looked into this) is include one page in another. They don't have a redirect script, but this works just as well. Edit the current entry for "mod" to see the necessary code.

I have created a simple Alphabetical Index of pages in the Encyclopedia. Nothing fancy. It doesn't get updated automatically, so if you add a page you can either edit the index, or wait a few days. I plan on updating it occasionally until we figure out if it's possible to do it automatically.

Like the alphabetized listing, but one question...

Where is the letter V ? Has it been removed from the official alphabet again?

geoschmo · #47 October 29th, 2002, 05:18 PM

Doh! Sorry Al, I mean Val.

Glad you saw the true humor behind that one

I would to have hated to have to chnage my signature again!

Gaaa... I see one big problem in that post already... You say armour, I say armor... You say centre, I say center... Looks like we'll need a LOT of crosslinks that say "Cultural centre: See 'Cultural center'" or something like that... I sure HOPE Wiki is not case sensitive... don't want to see anything like "Fighter: see 'fighter'"!!!
