Talk:Vegastrike

Talk

• pontiac 07:46, 12 Mar 2005 (PST) Just two small suggestions for the Wiki main page (if possible):
  • Remove the wikipedia log (Flower with brackets) ... IMHO it isn't really needed, is it?
    • Silverain 15:25, 11 May 2005 (PDT) Pontiac, did you ever figure out how to do this? It is so irritating and unnecessary.
      • Pontiac 02:17, 12 May 2005 (PDT) Just found this: Wikimedia -> Customization#How do I customize the logo in the top left_corner?
        The rest of the Customization page is pretty informative as well.
  • Is it possible to change the "Main Page" to point to Vegastrike (but leave the "Main Page" caption)?

• 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)

• pontiac Reminder for myself (about the main-menu):

• pontiac 13:06, 12 Mar 2005 (PST) The community portal link should also be changed to something else.
  • Maybe like this Community Forum
    • If that isnt' possible at least point ot the place VsWiki:Community Portal or so.
  • See MediaWiki:Portal and MediaWiki:Portal-url (can only be edited by MODs/Admins)

• Pontiac 08:42, 22 Mar 2005 (PST) Ok, here is how to change the sidebar to the left:
  • How do I add my own menu items to integrate My site into Mediawiki 1.3?

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.

• Finding the pages containing the different names
  • Search for "Vega Strike" in the wiki
  • Search for "Vegastrike" in the wiki

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