Oh, so you're that 86.41.134.33. You should consider registering, you'll be more easily recognized and credited.

Well I love everything you did, with one small exception...

In Rebel Technology, you started talking about how AT-ATs were undefeatable by the rebels, until the Battle of Hoth. Well as far as I can research, the Rebels never met Walkers before the battle, or anytime after; and the way its worded, it sounds like no Rebel vehicle in FirstStrike will be able to attack it, except by tripping.

If you don't mind, I'd like to go back to the old paragraph, since we really have no idea yet how powerful they'll be in the mod. That ok with you?

On it. But so you know... you don't actually have to do it by hand. Just copy a list into Excel, hit the Sort button, then paste it back! Repeat for each list.

Re: FIRST STRIKE WIKI

Oh, and I'm hard at work building that FAQ. The draft is currently here.

It covers a whole lot of things, so it'll be a while 'til it's done.

Word can, too. But perhaps only if the stuff is in a table hmm .

Re: FIRST STRIKE WIKI

I'm thinking we should start gathering and displaying all gameplay advice articles created so far (there are a few lying around in the Wiki. I've created a category page I've called 'Tactics', although the name can of course be changed to something else like 'Gameplay', 'Tips', 'Strategy Guide' or whatever. The category page is here, currently only displaying the article on unit composition I just created.

So to anyone who's created an article giving advice to players, go into your article and add [[Category:Tactics]] to it, and it'll show up on the category page.

I'll leave it to Shadowfax to determine if only the Category page should be linked to on the main page, or each individual article.

Edit: I also have this idea that since gameplay articles detail how to actually play, rather than describing a gameplay element such as a gamemode, vehicle, or map, they should be given a special prefix. I gave my unit composition articles an 'Tactics:' prefix.

Edit 2: With all due respect, in my opinion white image frames clash pretty badly with the dark blue colour scheme of the Wiki pages. I recommend either making the frames the same colour as the background, or a slightly lighter colour.

Re: FIRST STRIKE WIKI

I made a page for guides called, User Guides.... http://firststrikemod.wikia.com/wiki/User_Guides

As you can see, I made one of them, but left the others for anyone else to add, with the original forum post to take the info from. Is that what you mean?

Re: FIRST STRIKE WIKI

Oh, my bad, didn't know there already was one. However, there's no real need for that page as we have the Category page, which is automatically updated.

What do everyone think about the prefix, though? Should guides have a 'Guide:' prefix or something to distinguish them? Edit: No, wait, I guess they shouldn't as the Category page won't put them under different letter entries if they all start with 'G', as in 'Guides'. Just noticed that the . Or is there some Wiki code tag you can add to your article that makes the Category page think the article starts with another letter?
