Revision as of 16:27, 19 January 2012

In-Game Spelling

Hey all, we have been talking a bit about the skill 'Hyperactive ' or 'Hyperactif' (french) and this has brought up a new topic. What do we do when there is a mistake in the game? Do we copy the mistake or do we correct the mistake? Would our new correct and un-matching item be the mistake? I don't mind what we choose to do but I would like us to all tackle problems in the same way. Personally I would like to copy the mistake and add a note in the page about the mistake, later changing them as Motion-Twin makes it's own changes.

  • As I see it, we're here not to fix what developers have missed. If there's a mistake or inconsistency, altering specific official names would do even more confusion (Seppu's sheet has "Hyperactive", while the game has "Hyperactif", for example), as it's actually misspelling titles we reference to. Unless there's an update (didn't see them in a long time), keeping official spelling and adding necessary notes regarding mistakes looks like the best way to me. So far there are two I remember of: Hyperactif and Comms. Officier. If we for convenience dub anything that has no official names, sure, that can be easily fixed. -- Sig KlarkMorrigan 07:46, December 13, 2011 (UTC)
  • 100% Agree with Klark. Its apparent in both french and english versions. And until or if a update is put out we should just leave it. Illume 16:38, December 13, 2011 (UTC)

Seppu's Skill Sheet

Hey guys, please don't use Seppu's Skill Sheet as evidence of anything.

This skill sheet is younger then our wiki and was made from a muxxu forum thread where we gave him the answers to the skills he was missing without giving any evidence.

As his skill sheet is displaying information from us and the wiki is displaying informashon from his skill sheet (and with neither one of us give supporting evidence except that "this is what the other one is saying") then we are in real danger of supporting false information.

Also the information we find on this skill sheet is different to other skill sheets and who are we to say which one is right without evidence.

Unlike all other skill sheet (which maybe only passing and spreading rumors) our wiki has a chance to clarify the information and I would like us to stick with that standard. Thanks

Infoboxes

Infoboxes are set.

However, I believe that the icon'd be better be pun into header, in line with the 1st column with no caption. But I'll probably break something if I temper with inclusion conditions myself. Once it's moved I suppose I can sort widths, bordering and alignments out. :P

Uniform look

I think we should come to some agreement on a uniform look for the skill pages, we can use the 'Layout Builder' feacher to make a new page format to be used for any future skill addons to the game.

To start with I suggest this series of titles...

(First word perfect information from the game.)

'Skill Icon'. 'Weapon pic'. Description.

"Quote".

(Then any additional information from editors.)

Contents list

Editors Notes (Replasing Analysis)

Current Bugs

Trivia

Other Media

I also suggest that we make a mock page that we can look over, talk about and keep changing. Once we have a conclusion that we are all happy with we can change the other pages to fit the uniform look.

To free the word 'note' I will rephrase any writing that is currently over using it.

AW


Tried to edit with a single layout in mind but there were always tweaks now and then.

I don't think we need to put quotes under separated sections, they are insignificant and work better as a fluff intro for descriptions. Too bad multi-line ones have so much blank space between the lines, looking too odd. As for descriptions, in-game ones are often too vague and leave too many questions, might as well wire them with quotes, and use refined ones instead. No good if you come to wiki for details and see only standard descriptions and quotes. Skill icons look better to the right as they don't interfere with the left border of text that way.

For the most part, I don't think we can always follow the uniform by the word, there are occasions when information given doesn't exactly fits the uniformed title. For example elaborate overview can pass as analysis while a few comments cannot. In that case "Notes" can be the best universal pick. No need for "Editors' Note" as notes are added by editors as it is. The problem is how to organise the info right, some look good as paragraphs, the others as lists. With too few notes they can go fine attached to descriptions.

"Current Bugs" might work just as "Bugs".

"Other Media" should be fine just as "Media" (or "Gallery" if you like), not too much media around in most articles.

My take on it is that the layout needs to be organised in a similar fashion, but customized basing on the information available, to make a solid piece. However, default template should have a standardised look we're discussing now here.
