Re: FIRST STRIKE WIKI

OK, Yes guys, to clear up my stupidity, I have learned how to rename articles...Which I have done alot of with shadowfax...

And yes, shadowfax, I was surprised with you're amount of contributions to the wiki, I do think I will pass some admin powers your way. Also, as of yesterday, I believe Herb is working on some logos for me, so you can take a break there.

And that wasn't really a FS fan, but a wikia expert guy who helped me out with that infobox(wikia live help FTW!), which I do agree needs to have more space for information, I will look into that.

Which brings me to another thing, I noticed the some of pictures you provided, and I would REALLY think it be best we not use out-of-game material in most cases...So Devs, Can we get some pictures please? I dont really know how to take screens out of First-Person, so I want some good game pictures. Specifically, I want 3rd person pictures of the different kit models.

And about the color, I was messing around with that yesterday.

I want to get THE WHOLE 'actual wiki' part of the wiki, left of the right bar stuff, and below the yellow bar. I do not know how to do that. If you know how, go ahead, pick a nice grey to go with the FS theme. I found a nice color that matches the outside grey, can't remember it exactly though...

I think thats it...looking great!

Re: FIRST STRIKE WIKI

I'll see if I can't upload some pics, if I have any really good ones to contribute.

Oh, and it also needs an FAQ page, I think. Perhaps I should add one. If others get on the job, I recommend using a setup similar to that I use creating my FAQ for Project Reality: short, precise answers and a 'further reading' link.

Excellent. I've revamped the info box from raw HTML into normal Wiki code. I think the result looks a bit nicer, and it's easier to add rows now.

100% Agree. However, you should know that only 3 of the pictures are out-of-game... all other shots were posted by the FirstStrike team themselves here: http://mods.moddb.com/6512/first-strike/image-gallery/

All the kit items and weapons were copied straight from the manuals.

The exceptions that need replacing are the Sorosuub Speeder, X-Wing, and Y-Wing. Couldn't find those in their 166 images....

Devs, I remember in vanilla 2142 that people would take pictures and movies in an observer mode... was it BattleRecorder? I never messed with it, but maybe you could tell us if there's a similar feature in FS.

I know it's possible, I see other Wikis do it all the time... I'll just have to look through the documentation a bit, find out which settting needs to be changed... just grant that promotion when you can, and I'll make it happen.

I think it's done at here:
http://firststrikemod.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Userrights

Not sure if that's the page, as I've never done it myself, but the description sounds right...
