* [[User:pontiac|Pontiac]] Looks good to me. Just two things: '''1.)''' The important one: What will happen to [[Manual:Trading]] and its content then? Do we leave it as is or incorporate the content into the cargo pages? '''2.)''' CAPITAL LETTERS ARE BAD i've learned ;) But that's just '''my''' opinion, and since i made this in the old wiki too i'm not ''fully'' against it. We can just leave it as in the mockup and sort that out '''if''' users complain ;)

TOC Discussion

  • Is it possible to put a picture next to the TOC? Maybe with a table? Pontiac 07:48, 27 Feb 2005 (PST)
    • OK, found a (more complicated, since it's an external image) way to do it Pontiac 08:28, 27 Feb 2005 (PST)

Links

Various Cover Images

  • pontiac 05:59, 13 Mar 2005 (PST) Until the Upload to the wiki has been discussed you can use the Wiki-Manual section in the gallery:
  • The thumbnail on the main page displays my version, but the large cover in the manual is from another. I don't have much intention of completing my version because of this talk about the new logo and such, but I've put up the zipped XCF file for people to gimp around with if they so choose. -Halleck 21:25, 15 Mar 2005 (PST)

Base Interface/ Computer Screens Discussion

    • pontiac 03:36, 15 Mar 2005 (PST) At first i imagined to have all the non-baseart (== Computer Screens) locations under the the "Base interface". And only the rest (bar/hangar/etc...)
      • MOVED AND UPDATED-> See sample below

  • Pontiac Looks good to me. Just two things: 1.) The important one: What will happen to Manual:Trading and its content then? Do we leave it as is or incorporate the content into the cargo pages? 2.) CAPITAL LETTERS ARE BAD i've learned ;) But that's just my opinion, and since i made this in the old wiki too i'm not fully against it. We can just leave it as in the mockup and sort that out if users complain ;)
    • Pontiac ok, forget the first point. i've seen you moved the page already ;)

Manual style discussion

  • Pontiac Maybe some points of our current and future discussions should be in the Manual of Style as well. This includes several points:
    • Handling of images
    • Using of key-images (see Manual:Keyboard layout)
    • Linking (including redundant links)
    • How to use the Manual NAVBAR
    • Categorisation / How to add category links

Tutorial discussion

  • Silverain 14:58 15 March 2005 (PST) Concerning the tutorial, I was going to review my .pdf version and put it in. Since its 5 tutes, should I use 5 pages (one each), or put them all on the one page?
    • pontiac 07:44, 16 Mar 2005 (PST) In the wiki i think i would prefer them on one page if they are short (<= A4). For longer ones i think leaving them as 5 pages is perect (something like [[Manual:Tutorial:Page1]] or [[Manual:Tutorial:Chapter1]] maybe?)
      • Then again: It's a turorial, so having 'steps/pages/chapters' is quite fine ;)
        • Silverain 16:13, 16 Mar 2005 (PST) Have uploaded the tutorials to the one page. Have a look. It seems to fit OK on the one page. Except for the first one, they are all fairly short.
          • Pontiac Looks fine to me :) But if you need to change it for the pdf version just go ahead.
