@ FL server admins & T SP staff: wiki

FriendlyFire

A wiki is a repository of knowledge. All game wikis have a technical issue page, if not section. It’s not unusual or bizarre to have online troubleshooting there, and it’s the sole area that actually makes sense. What, you want people to dig through forum topics for help instead?

Also, what you’re saying is an infinite loop: nobody goes there because there’s nothing in it, thus nothing ever gets added. You can’t fault us for it; our job was giving the community the possibility to build up a repository of information. None of us have the time that would be required to fill this up, though we did add things to it as we could. Thing is, without community involvement, a wiki is fundamentally impossible.

Well, one thing we have filtered out yet is that people would like to have more some kind of wikipedia design. Some people also want to have the wiki less connected to the T SP site.

About the content, I still trust in my idea it could fill up pretty fast if all server admins are going to help by implenting a link to the wiki to their forums portals.

I would not bet that this happens - but it might be a possibility that others get more and more known to the Wiki. Wiki design or not - what makes the style for the content being displayed? And making wiki entries is quite different than posting. So i doubt it will get very popular anyway.

There are just too less interest to contribute - thats what i take out of it. Either people dont know how - or like the admins here - have less time to fill it. Another aspect might be that nearly everyone has its own wiki - or databases - that is used. So an overall wiki wouldnt be of any wide interst imo.

Plus: It is there since the beginning of TSP 2.0 as far as i know. Quite a long time. But seldomly have been filled with content. If you ask me - that wont change anytime soon - just because you re-link it to other pages.

Wouldn’t it actually be worth a try?

So I changed the Wiki to use the whole width, scrapping the navigation on the left. What do you think?

Also changed formatting.

However, I cannot figure out where to change the ugly white background on the selected radio buttons here: http://the-starport.net/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history

If anybody knows…

Google Chrome knows

@common.css line 77:

#pagehistory li.selected {
background-color: #F9F9F9; <–here
border: 1px dashed #AAA;
}
