Preload buttons[edit]
Hi, please use the preload buttons located above the edit text box when creating a new page. These buttons will insert the needed templates and formatting for you, which helps keep uniformity across the wiki. — najzereT 20:18, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
[edit]
When making a new page, be sure to either use the preload buttons as described above, or make the navs yourself. Aside from these navs, anything you want is in between. Put:
{{Header Nav|game=Master of Orion}} at the top
{{Footer Nav|game=Master of Orion|prevpage=previous page|nextpage=next page}} at the bottom
If lost check other guide pages, or your own Master of Orion/Growing your population

- Hi, we've asked a couple times now that you start using the preload buttons to insert the necessary navigation templates in guide pages. Is there some problem? Something you don't understand? If so, respond here or on my talk page and I'll try to explain in more depth what we're talking about. Normally it's as easy as clicking the button above the edit text box that says "Guide page", so if you've just been forgetting, please try and get in the habit of using it so another user doesn't have to come in afterward to fix it. Thanks! — najzereT 18:41, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
- I haven't forgotten anything, I just never learned it in the first place. These Orion 1 pages are my first attempts at using Wikipedia. I am still going through the learning curve here. I would appreciate some time to get used to this stuff. There is no need to lock me within like 12 hrs from the time I even create a wikipedia account. Its not like this game is going to have billions of hits on day 1 or anything. The game is more than 15 years old.
Phantom page[edit]
Master of Orion/Colony Types appears to be a duplicate of Master of Orion/Star systems, and the former doesn't appear on the Table of Contents. Can the Colony Types page be deleted? — najzereT 17:16, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
- Nothing so far is actually completed. Tons of stuff still needs to get fixed, or shifted around, headings changed, data reorganized and everything else. There is a lot of duplication of content going on right now while I set all this stuff up and decide how to proceed forward.
Two hour block[edit]
Hi, unfortunately we need to get your attention, as you don't seem to be monitoring or responding to your talk page. Your block will last for two hours, during which time I would appreciate it if you could please review the posts above so that you can start creating pages that contain the appropriate navigation templates. Let me know if you have any questions here, and I'll be happy to discuss it with you. Nearly all of our editing guidelines, including how to set up pages, is located in our user guide, so that may also be of help to you. Thanks for your patience, — najzereT 19:29, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
- Appreciate that.
Page naming[edit]
Our current standard for naming pages is to use sentence case, meaning only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized except when using in-game titles such as level names. I renamed all the the pages in the Master of Orion guide to reflect this and updated the Table of Contents. I see that you've created Master of Orion/Force Fields, and changed the ToC link from "Force fields" to "Force Fields". Is this an in-game naming? If not, it should be moved to the standard page name format. Let me know if you want any help with moving the page if it needs to be changed. Thanks! (p.s. Great job on the guide, it's looking great!) — najzereT 01:43, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
- I mostly did it because I tend to use header case when I am actually talking about headers and because when you changed it to lower case it completely broke my page. I had to change it to a capital letter again to get it to recognize that my Force Fields page even existed.
- To answer your question directly, yes the game does refer to it internally as Force Fields. The description for the "Advanced Force Field Technology" technology reads "General improvements in Force Field technology.
- Okay, thanks for the quick response! I've moved a couple more pages to adhere to our naming standard, and it would be a big help if you could use sentence case when creating pages. Currently all the links in the Table of Contents are correctly named, so if you just use those links to start a page, everything should be fine. If you need to add another link to the ToC or change one, just try to keep this standard in mind. Thanks! — najzereT 19:14, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Just so you know...[edit]
Just so you know, you can designate which pages are works in progress by adding {{wip}} to the top. Keep up the editing. =D --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 17:55, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
- I would, but as I understand it the idea behind the site is that the pages are supposed to always be works in progress, which would make it kinda redundant. I am going to have to run through the entire page listing multiple times before its even close to finished anyway. Seems like it would be a lot more hassle than it is worth. Thanks for the info, though. AFAIK, I am the only editor and might be the only editor, so I am not worried too much about it.
