Hello, and welcome to my talk page. Feel free to click "Add topic" at the top to send me a message. I'll get back to you at the earliest opportunity.

Formatting

Hi.

I have several questions about formatting.

  1. Should I bold titles? In some articles titles are bold (eg. Pistol, Wooden chest) and in some aren't (eg. Land mine, Rocket launcher).
  2. Should I put spaces between header begining, ending and text (eg. Rocket launcher and Burner mining drill - there are spaces in "History" header, but no in "See also" header)?

And is Template:EquipNav redundant? Only some translated articles are using it (Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:EquipNav) and this template doesn't include icons. In most cases it could be replaced with Template:CombatNav. --Zabshk (query) 16:44, 2 May 2017 (UTC)


Hey there Zabshk, all good questions. As for bolding titles on pages, we don't have a specific rule, but we do encourage it for new pages. You can leave it off if you feel it isn't necessary. As for the spacing, again, not really defined. You may put what you think looks the best for the page content in question. The Equipnav template is actually outdated (I should probably delete it), instead we use a system that organizes pages by their ingame organization, aka Template:ProductionNav, Template:IntermediateNav, Template:CombatNav, and Template:LogisticsNav. We also have Template:TechNav for techs. Let me know if you have any more questions. --(Gangsir) (talk) - Admin 20:42, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Small Pump changes

Hi Gangsir, I'm new here and new to wiki editing, so bear with me for a moment. I've been working on updating the small pump page to reflect it's new capabilities in 0.15.x but it really needs to be moved to pump to reflect the entity's name change. At present I'm not comfortable making that move as I don't understand the implications, can you either move it or advise me on the plan below.

I believe what needs to happen is:

  • Move the existing pump page to a new temporary location
  • Move the small pump page to pump
  • reformat the old pump page into a disambiguation page or combine it's content into the top of the new pump page
  • find and fix broken links

And most importantly, thanks for having me and including me in the community :) -Morshan


Hey there Morshan, you're close. Typically in the event of a name collision with a disambiguation page, we normally just delete the disambiguation page. I'll handle it, thanks for the conflict report. --(Gangsir) (talk) - Admin 21:02, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
