Templates are just funky creatures. Once I moved the category back all the infoboxes displayed correctly. I'm not sure why either, but when I logged on when I came home every one of them was all messed up like the "template" articles look with the < nowiki > code and a lot displayed code. --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]]

Yeah I wouldn't have a problem with it if it didn't break all the infoboxes :p I feel like I tried to do the same thing a year or two ago with the same result and that's why it's there. too many things to recall. It took me forever to figure out how to add stuff to the character infoboxes without breaking them (or creating new infoboxes entirely...I still don't understand where we could the faction colors and that stuff...) --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]] 17:26, 23 August 2010 (CDT)

When you have a chance could you upload the losing end game shot and place it in Phi Wing (Hell's Kitchen)? Thanks! --Dundradal 22:13, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

I think the preferences might of have reset when Kris updated the MediaWiki? You actually control your own timestamps. http://www.wcnews.com/wcpedia/Special:Preferences That link allows you to edit your own timezone/etc. I'm not sure if that then reflects on all time stamps or just your own. Test it out a bit and let me know. --Dundradal

I don't believe there is a way to make the timestamps uniform. They reflect the user that entered them. (Thanks for noting mine was CST, I'm actually EST GMT - 5) You can always view the local time for edits by reviewing the history. It should display in your proper timezone. --Dundradal

Hey Wedge, are we changing all the Dralthi to link to Dralthi I and Fralthi to Fralthi class cruiser? Also, my apologies for the odd typo! - Madman

Heh, in this case it's just a typo one time which I copied and pasted into the other pages ;) Madman

Oh while I remember, the Dralthi in 1.5 (at least the one you fly) carries Mass drivers - that makes them mk2s right? Will check the ones you fight :) and also check if the ones in swc wc and sm1 have mass drivers Madman

Yeah they're all Dralthi IIs, at least in sm2. will change it! Madman

Hey Wedge, to the best of my knowlege, SM1.5 is now finished - hopefully there's no glaring mistakes. Xi wing in Jakarta has really messed up text - so it's supposed to be that way, it's not a mistake! (eg blair tells halcyon that he killed all the lumbari and not the fralthi, when you only kill the fralthi!, halcyon then tells him he did good only killing the lumbari, before blair apologises again!

I've added some stuff to the Golden Sun page, what do you think? Madman can chat in IRC if you want?

Thanks for the thoughts, the reason i left '?'s in was because I'm not sure how those values are determined (it was also very definitely supposed to be a 'i'm still working on this' sign). It seems that we need to work out how they're fitted, and trial and error probably won't cut it. I understand about not liking wingnut out of hours as it were :D I didn't realise there already was a hangar deck image, apologies, also sorry about the receive error, simple typo I assure you! Finally, there's a couple of grammatical things you changed (notably colonel to Colonel) which, while I agree with from a grammar point of view, i dislike because the game itself uses what I originally wrote. Which do we want to stick with, grammatically correct or in-game accuracy? Madman

Heh, I believe you mis-understood my comment about "out of hours" twas simply a turn of phrase :) I see what you mean about leaving draft stuff in the page, the problem is that working out what causes certain phrases to be used is potentially a massive task, I'd rather that what we know now was put in with a caveat that it's not definite that that is the cause of the difference (i.e give people all the information we have available now) rather than hold it back until it's absolutely perfect. The idea of a wiki being fluide swings both ways, someone else may see that I don't know what the cause of the different lines is and dutifully change it to add in their knowlege. Just my two-penneth :) I'm away for the weekend so won't be able to work up any stuff but will be back around next week. Madman


Hey if you are up right now jump on IRC --Dundradal


One of the templates you added today broke the character infobox. Not sure exactly what you've been doing so you want to try and figure out what went wrong. --Dundradal

Looks like whatever template it was broke every infobox. I'm not sure if I see the point of some of the templates as well. What's the Clawmarks one for? Or that WPM one? One of those broke the rest. --Dundradal

Figured it out. Don't move the templates category. When you did it broke all the infoboxes. It needs to remain where it is. Templates can be a real bitch and we've got to be careful when doing things to them because they break very easily. Thanks. --Dundradal
