Category talk:Ships:Civilian

• jackS 22:03, 2 Mar 2005 (PST) Is there any way we can cut off the "Ships:" Prefix? It will make searching annoying if the list is convinced that all items start with S.
  • pontiac 14:44, 3 Mar 2005 (PST) Yes, but we would need to edit (or clone) the CategoryPage.php file to display (and SORT) is as something like this (the term in the brackets is optional, and the : on the 'end' should be always there IMO)

[[Namespace1:Namespace2:Itemname|Itemname]] <small>Namespace1:Namespace2:(Itemname)</small>

Itemname Namespace1:Namespace2:(Itemname)

Ok, we actually have not more that one namespace so it would look like this most of the time:

[[Namespace:Itemname|Itemname]] <small>Namespace:(Itemname)</small>

Itemname Namespace:(Itemname)

The biggest problem will be code-side of this though, i'm not really familiar with php :?

• pontiac 14:49, 3 Mar 2005 (PST) OOOHHHHH shiny, i think i have found the (easier?/better?) solution to our problem http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category#Order_of_the_lists.3B_setting_sort_keys

• jackS 15:12, 3 Mar 2005 (PST) Looks good to me :) One final thought - do we want to split Vessels (Ship:) and Installations (Installation:) into their own categories, or (simpler though vaguely a misnomer) put everything in Ship: ?
