Revision as of 12:49, 12 May 2005

Talk

  • pontiac 07:46, 12 Mar 2005 (PST) another thing that isn't really a big issue:
    • When i turn off the diplay of images (firefox here) i do no tget the article/discussion/edit+ watch/etc... links on the top of the page. But they are texts, so the should show up, no?
    • I think this is since the wiki has been integrated/embedded into the vegastrike design, but i'm not sure.
    • With turned off images i also get wrong links in the main menu on the left (because the 'nonexisting image' overlaps the other links)

Wiki logo discussion

Pontiac 04:49, 12 May 2005 (PDT) Here are the changes i did to the wiki files:

###############################################################################
# edit	./LocalSettings.php

$wgLogo	=	"{$wgUploadPath}/wiki.png";

$wgNavigationLinks = array (
        array( 'text'=>'mainpage',      'href'=>'mainpage2' ),
        array( 'text'=>'recentchanges', 'href'=>'recentchanges-url' ),
        array( 'text'=>'randompage',    'href'=>'randompage-url' ),
        array( 'text'=>'help',          'href'=>'helppage' ),
        array( 'text'=>'sitesupport',   'href'=>'sitesupport-url' ),
);

###############################################################################
# edit	./languages/Language.php

'mainpage'              => 'Main Page',
'mainpage2'              => 'Vegastrike',

###############################################################################
# edit	./skins/monobook/main.css

/*#column-one { padding-top: 160px; }*/

#column-one { padding-top: 10px; }

    overflow: visible;

#p-logo h5 { display: none; }

Login discussion

  • Pontiac, what was resolved about logins to edit the wiki? I know its connected to the forum logins, but we can still edit the wiki without logging in (and we show up as an IP address). Can we bloke non-logged in editing somehow? It makes it difficult to tell who's done what if someone forgets to login. Silverain 15:57, 12 Apr 2005 (PDT)
    • jackS 23:18, 12 Apr 2005 (PDT) Agreed. if we can do anything to force logins, that would be a very good thing.
    • Pontiac 11:50, 17 Apr 2005 (PDT) Actually i don't know what's the current setting for wiki login since i'm not really involved with the configuration. I'm normally not for a restricted access to wikis. But as you two already mentioned, the 'keeping track of things' is not really possible with IPs everywhere, so i triple this idea... especially since there is still the possibility for everyone to edit the wiki.
    • Odd, I had thought you had set up the configuration... so should mention it to ace123 instead? Calling ace123... Silverain 15:45, 17 Apr 2005 (PDT)
      • OK, I badgered and annoyed ace123 and you may have noticed that if you try to edit without being logged on, it comes up with a reminder and takes you to the login screen - Big thanks ace123. Silverain 22:48, 17 Apr 2005 (PDT)

Vegastrike (name) discussion

  • pontiac 10:39, 15 Mar 2005 (PST) Another thing that needs to be discussed and straightend out is the title of the game itself.
    • Should it be:
      • "Vegastrike" (Sourceforge/Mission)
      • "VegaStrike" (Logo?)
      • "Vega Strike" (Logo)
      • Silverain 15:26, 22 Mar 2005 (PST) I have been using Vega Strike taken from the current logo, forum title etc. Maybe we should poll this in the forums?
        • Pontiac 10:54, 8 May 2005 (PDT) That's a good idea, but at first a statement from the devs would be good to see how it was intended in the beginning.



After discussing this issue the conclusion should be added to the Manual of Style
