...always strive to do better than that which came before you.
So, I set about trying to solve two problems. How to make the current Wiki layouts look better to the eye, and how to do the first goal without breaking mobile phones.
Also, you keep talking about "making the site better" as if your idea of how wiki pages should look is more valid than other people's, including the site owner, and as if the virtue of your submission is some sort of self-evident fact instead of the personal aesthetic opinion it is.
I haven't taken a look at it yet, but I think that if we all go into this with the same attitude of self improvement, this will be productive.
I do want to point out that you should make these into actual templates @Edto Xar'Sivaree.
I've made several templates:
Planet
System
Power armor
Faction
Personal power armor
Are you going to replace those?
The system and personal power armor ones do.
The goal is for every template to have such a chart because it provide the need to know at the instant information to the GM at a glance without having to scroll... As much in some cases.
Replacing everything because it's "Bad" is not the desire.
Actually, this is just step one to quite literally me, and anyone who would like to help, going through the entire Wiki and standardizing all the pages.
The Formatting of the Wiki and how... Strict everyone is about it only just started to be a thing this year. Before if the page looked good and was of quality content it wasn't exactly an issue of sorts. At least, from my damn well close two years, only the last third of it has contained any stringency on Wiki Articles.
Yes, but so far your only argument against the new potential implementation of the charts is that you just don't want them. Having the information in the chart would minimize the space and, as I hae said multiple times, allow our wiki to emulate Wikipedia, which is currently the powerhouse and golden standard of Wiki work. No one has argued this.The Table of Contents already allows GMs (and everyone else) to locate the "need to know" information with a single click of the mouse.
"Personal Asthetics" based on, as I said, the largest, most successful Wiki site on the internet. No one has argued this claim. There is a reason it works, and I don't see what is wrong with wanting to emulate that.Then what is the "desire" behind these changes? Personal aesthetics, like Wes (accurately, in my opinion) said here?
The standard templates, currently, while they function, look similar to that of standard forum posts in some regards. I have literally made these arguments a million times, and you only seem to ignore them and keep asking the same questions. Please get out of my thread if you are going to continue doing as such, as your comments are not being productive. Please read my opening post and abide by them to remain respectful to the wishes of this thread. As for support, honestly this is a roleplay site. Few people have concerns bordering past "What is my character going to do today" and as I mentioned before, if Wes made a thread asking players to give their opinions, this conversation would be much larger.If your "desire" is to standardize all of the articles on the wiki, then why are you making more work for yourself by creating new templates that - from what I've seen so far - have little to no support? Wouldn't it make more sense to begin standardizing articles using the current templates (which are approved and widely supported) instead?
You are correct. The Submission Rules have been around for a lot longer than 2 years. This is you making inferrences on what I said, rather than taking what I said.The Submission Rules have been around for a lot longer then two years, Edto.
Well, given I just took edits to pages that existed alreadyI don't see what the fuss is about. If the new templates are better - and they do look better - we should adopt them, shouldn't we? Even with the 'new' templates, the changes are rather minor, with them definitely having their lineage stemming from the older ones.
