Hey, great work on that walkthru you are doing, I was just wondering is this duplication intentional. eg. [[Engineering Duty Officer]] and [[Crem]] or should the first one be removed? --[[User:Lem|<font color="green">'''Lem''' </font>]][[User_talk:Lem|<font color="green"><small>(talk)</small>]]</font> 21:56, 25 February 2010 (UTC) :I agree, excellent work. I had forgotten to let you know about the fact that the entire episode's walkthrough was in that one mission sub-page, but you fixed it earlier! Thank you very much for helping out the wiki. Every little bit helps. β[[User:TerranRich|<span style="color: #ffa500; font-weight: bold; font-variant: small-caps;">TerranRich</span>]] <sup>'''('''[[Special:EmailUser/TerranRich|E]][[User talk:TerranRich|T]][[Special:Contributions/TerranRich|C]]''')'''</sup> @ 04:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC) : Frak, didn't notice the Duty Officer articles. So basically all three are doublicated as are the images. Yeah, I think the former should forward to the later. Btw. great wiki, always a pleasure to work with you guys :-) --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 19:15, 26 February 2010 (UTC) : Correction! The BOs are not always named the same. Just played the Tutorial an x-nd time, and now, my Tactial BO is named "R'shee". So better to take the content from Takerra, Crem and Slan to supplement the XYZ Duty Officer articles and delete the former.--[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 20:16, 26 February 2010 (UTC) : I have merged the articles and reset the links in corresponding articles, [[Takerra]], [[Crem]] and [[Slan]] can be deleted.--[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 22:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC) ::Do it yourself! You're now an admin. Congrats! β[[User:TerranRich|<span style="color: #ffa500; font-weight: bold; font-variant: small-caps;">TerranRich</span>]] <sup>'''('''[[Special:EmailUser/TerranRich|E]][[User talk:TerranRich|T]][[Special:Contributions/TerranRich|C]]''')'''</sup> @ 22:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC) :::Heh congrats Rachel! I had a feeling the names might be randomly generated. --[[User:Lem|<font color="green">'''Lem''' </font>]][[User_talk:Lem|<font color="green"><small>(talk)</small>]]</font> 23:08, 28 February 2010 (UTC) :: Thx! Now I can stop to bother Lem and boba with my dyslexia. :-) --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 23:53, 28 February 2010 (UTC) ==Issues with Starship_tier_chart page== Hey Rachael, First off, excellent 1 year anniversary video you did. Really enjoyed it. Secondly, I've been working on the ship charts to include all the ShuttleCraft and such, as well as all the recent updates & changes Cryptic has been dishing out; thus, I've had to re-upload the ship charts a few times. All the previous versions can be removed. However, the last time I tried to upload the latest changes, I got an error ''Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32000 bytes) in /home/stowiki/public_html/includes/media/Bitmap.php on line 194'' The KDF shipchart has grown to a size of 5902kb and the FED chart is now at 6299kb. I never thought this would be a problem, since the upload limit is set at 12mb. I have dialed back the resolution to about 75% when using jpg compression, but since the chart has so many small details, any more scaling back will hinder it's usefulness. I'm not sure if these details are relevant; it may have simply been an error during the upload. Let me know if there's anything more you need from me to correct the issue. Thanks, [[User:Spidermitch|Spidermitch]] 20:51, 9 February 2011 (UTC) ==Reply to your message== I'll try to keep up the good work :), but I'm not very good at uploading images, so I'll probably need your help there. At the moment, if you look through the starship classes, you'll find that they're are a few missing pictures for ships (shown in 'don't exist yet' red): the Excelsior class/Excelsior retrofit class ([[Advanced Heavy Cruiser Retrofit]]); the [[Klingon Bird-of-Prey|Koloth Bird-of-Prey]] and [[Klingon Bird-of-Prey|Haj Bird-of-Prey]]; the [[Raptor|Birok Raptor]]; the VoD'leh class ([[Vo'Quv Carrier]]); and the [[Kar'Fi Carrier]]. I know they're on the ship tier charts, but like I said before, I'm not good at that sort of thing. Regards, --[[User:Omegafire17|Omegafire17]] 18:00, October 3 2010 (UTC) : That's great news. Glad you continue writing for the Wiki. As my Klingon char levels up (currently at level 12^^) I'll add the missing ship pictures. The retrofit excelsior I do not have and I do not intent to buy. But maybe we can grab some Cryptic pictures from the C-Store instead. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 18:44, 4 October 2010 (UTC) == File Renamed; old version can be removed. == Hey Rachel, I've uploaded a [http://stowiki.org/File:SpidermitchFEDShipChart.jpg new version of the Federation ship chart], and changed the name to more accurately have FED in the title. This helps me on the back-end keep track of which chart I'm working on and uploading. (Besides, it just makes since now that there's a KDF chart with KDF in the filename!) Anway, please remove all versions of the [http://stowiki.org/File:SpidermitchShipChart.jpg original chart name]. I've already uploaded and updated the Wiki pages and such, so you shouldn't have to worry. Hopefully that's the last time I'll need you to delete anything :) [[User:Spidermitch|Spidermitch]] 23:43, 26 September 2010 (UTC) : Done. Don't hesitate to ask me or any other mod to help in these things. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 08:07, 27 September 2010 (UTC) == Mentioned & Linked to from Podcasts! == Rachel, Congrats on being mentioned on STOked, the JupiterBroadcasting podcast. Hopefully viewers will follow the links they provided in the show-notes, linking back to here and STOwiki will gain a bit of traffic. Anyone who wants to see what they're giving kudos to Rachel for (an awesome job she did with Dabo statistics!!!), check out [http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/?p=2848 Ep 52 of STOked]. Also, I got my own props on the [[Ship Tier Chart|Federation Ship Tier Chart]] from ST:OKast, another online podcast. Of course, this was before I created the [[Ship Tier Chart|KDF Ship Tier Chart]], so that wasn't mentioned. Give it a listen here: [http://thadious.podbean.com/2010/09/13/stokast-010-%E2%80%9Creturn-from-the-delta-quadrant%E2%80%9D/ ST:OKast #10] --[[User:Spidermitch|Spidermitch]] 19:25, 21 September 2010 (UTC) == New here... == Hello! Seeing you're a common creator and editor of pages here, I thought any questions would be best asked to you. I'm not clear on hos to use STO wiki, but I'm determined to find my way about. Are there any pages that may give me information on how to format pages or any such things? Also, I like the recent work on the mission Infected, although, I have found an efficient and simple way of completing the mission and would like to add it. Am I allowed to add content advising a player of where to stand in order to hide from the enemy or keep the "aggro" down and such things? Nathok. == What's nu? == Sorry couldn't resist. I looked for a needs update template, but didn't think to look at the short names. Thanks for adding it. --[[User:Swordmage|Swordmage]] 18:20, 30 July 2010 (UTC) == Have fun, heading out == Just to let you know, I decided to abandon ship before I had to pay my monthly fee. Just not the game for me, but working on the wiki (one of my standard activities) made it fun. Good luck. --[[User:Swordmage|Swordmage]] 04:31, 11 August 2010 (UTC) : It was a pleasure having you around. Thanks a lot for a ton of contributions. Take care. --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 07:50, 11 August 2010 (UTC) ==There is a Dot we don't need== Hello, when clicking on Recent Changes there is a square dot left of RSS in the Operations column. It serves no purpose so I'm requesting you to remove it, please. I lack the expertise to do it myself. [[User:Markonian|Markonian]] 21:39, 12 August 2010 (UTC) : Problem is, as an admin I cannot fix that. That would have to be [[User:TerranRich|TerranRich]], but it has been hard to reach him lately. BTW, what browser do you use? I don't see the square in Firefox. --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 21:54, 12 August 2010 (UTC) ::This is the dot I'm meaning. It's not obstrusive, I just thought it could be removed. I'm using the Windows browser. BTW, have you tried to send a mail to [[User:TerranRich|TerranRich]]? Maybe he can promote you if you reach him on more time. [[User:Markonian|Markonian]] 22:15, 12 August 2010 (UTC) <gallery> File:Dot.png </gallery> ::: In fact this week I have asked him about taking care of the Wiki while he is occupied with other stuff. No response, yet. If I get access to the Wiki's skin, I'll see what I can do about the bulletin square. But I know that the Internet Explorer tends to produce rendering errors. So there is a chance that there is nothing wrong with the page. --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 22:20, 12 August 2010 (UTC) ==New Accolades== Moved to [[Talk:Accolade/Story Accolade/Klingon Sector]] I found these three accolades that opened up with the Breen Front, but the icon has not been added yet. [[File:Breen_sector.png]] [[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 12:26, 29 August 2010 (UTC) : Thanks for sharing those. Accolades updated accordingly. --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 14:06, 29 August 2010 (UTC) == Deleting files? == Hey Rachel, I was trying to figure out a way to remove a file that's no longer needed. The first Ship Tier chart I uploaded [[http://stowiki.org/File:SpidermitchShipChartv2-6.jpg]] was named with a version number. I now know that you can upload new revisions and it automatically takes the original file name. Really cool! (I'm new to this whole Wiki thing, but I'm trying!) Anyway, I've uploaded a new chart (this time without a version number in the filename) but I can't figure out how to remove the old files SpidermitchShipChartv2-6.jpg & SpidermitchShipChartv2-7.jpg... Maybe I don't have the permissions needed to delete, which is cool: I shouldn't have to go deleting files now that I've uploaded the file sans version number. If I'm overlooking it, please let me know. Thanks!!! --[[User:Spidermitch|Spidermitch]] 26 August 2010 : Done. As a User you cannot delete anything. I'm trying to get more admins in, since right now I'm the only one to take care of stuff like that. Keep up the good work! Please use the signature function at the end of discussion posts: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. This will automatically generate a link to your user page and the time and date of your post. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 17:04, 26 August 2010 (UTC) ==Adding Deferi faction symbol/template== The Deferi have their own symbol, consisting of three intersecting rings in a vertical formation. It can be seen in the Accolade/Story Accolade/Breen Front "Tipping the Scales"-Accolade and on the Deferi Social Map above the center where the bridges meet. As I don't know how to rip icons from the game, I would like to ask you to create a Deferi icon template, please. Thanks. [[User:Markonian|Markonian]] 22:50, 2 September 2010 (UTC) : [[File:Faction Generic.png|right]] There is actually no Deferi faction icon in game. If you select any Deferi, they will use the "Generic" faction icon. So the only way to get the logo would be to carve it out with a graphics editor from the accolade icons. Give it a shot. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 07:06, 3 September 2010 (UTC) ::[[File:Faction Deferi.png|right]] Using Windows Paint I have carved out the icon from an accolade medal. It's far from being perfect, I know. And now the question: Do we stick with the Generic or the Deferi icon? [[User:Markonian|Markonian]] 08:54, 3 September 2010 (UTC) ::: I once had a friend who also thought that MS Paint was the crown of digital image manipulation :-D. Supprisingly well looking though, I have to admit. Well, now that we have it, I think it should go at least into the Deferi article. If it should be added to the faction related templates (missions, systems, planets, npcs, ships, etc.) would be a topic to discuss on the [[Project:Community_Portal]]. That's something everybody should have a say in. I'm only here to help and moderate. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 09:03, 3 September 2010 (UTC) == Images Needed == Can you add the icon for Field Generator (its needed for Engineering Consoles article)? Also, space powers "Grant Diplomatic Immunity" and "Quantum Slipstream Drive" are needed, and I can provide images of what those look like if you need that. --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 10:45, 6 September 2010 (UTC) : [[File: Console - Engineering - Field Generator icon.png|left]] You mean this one? Has been there since mid August :-) Uploaded the new [[:File:Grant_Diplomatic_Immunity_icon_(Federation).png]]. --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 11:38, 6 September 2010 (UTC) :: Can you add the new icon for [[Ability: Reverse Shield Polarity]] and [[Ability: Quantum Slipstream Drive]]? --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 20:29, 11 October 2010 (UTC) ::: That might take a while, but I will. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 21:16, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Could you add images for the Retrofit Forward Phaser Bank / Retrofit Aft Phaser Bank (same pic of the blue phaser) and for '<damagetype> Dual Pistols' (they may have new icons for them on Tribble, but it'll show two pistols instead of the one). --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 10:42, 30 June 2011 (UTC) : I'll see what I can do. Right before my holiday trip, my PC crashed really hard, so I may not have the software to do this quickly. But I'll try :-) --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 10:46, 30 June 2011 (UTC) :: I got icons of the Retrofit Phaser Beam Arrays. However, I did not find any new icons for dual pistols, other what is already on [[ground weapon]]. --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 12:13, 30 June 2011 (UTC) :::Could someone get an image for the Borg [[Worker Drone]] page-I am unable to get access to the Cure to get one-Worker Drones are only available in the Cure. Could you also check the stats I posted for the [[Worker Drone]] & [[Elite Tactical Drone]]-I has a friend playing the Cure PM me the stats. --[[User:Cyrano.Jones|Cyrano.Jones]] 15:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC) :::: I currently don't have time to run the Cure myself. I'll try to remember about that, when I play it the next time. Add the [[Template:MissingImage]] to the top of the article, so all people know, it is on the [[:Category:Missing images|ToDo list]]. In fact, that is what Matthew probably should have done as well. Doh', I've been setting a bad example here :-) --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 15:22, 30 June 2011 (UTC) == Old Editor Returning == Hello. I used to edit this wiki back when STO first got off the ground, but then real life intruded and I haven't had the time. I have some now, though, and I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of an area that needs work. So much has been done in the time I've been gone that I'm a little overwhelmed and don't know where to start contributing again. Thank you! -[[User:Kinetic1028|Kinetic1028]] 14:53, 9 September 2010 (UTC) : Glad to have you back! Right now we are expanding a lot into Klingon gameplay, [[User:Markonian]] has done a lot of ground work there. Also we have had some exceptional new featured pages like the [[Trophy]], [[Player title]] and [[Accolade]] articles. I think, [[User:MatthewM]] can tell you where we stand with these. Of course it is always great to have the new weekly episode covered by an article close to release. We can also use new guides and revamps of existing ones. I've wrote a little something about an idea [[Project:Community_Portal#Beginners.27s_Section.2FGuide|here]]. I would like to polish the top- and second-level articles reached through the main-page and sidebar. Other than that we are still lacking a ton of systems, planets (most are stubs), maps and screen shots thereof, NPCs and Enemy types from early and mid-game. So that's my two cents. And as always, it is totally alright to just have fun and enjoy your time playing and editing :-). So welcome back again! --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 15:16, 9 September 2010 (UTC) == Multiple Edits == I've noticed that you and a couple of others do a ton of edits in quick order. And I wonder how do you do so many at one time? Are you saving the edits for later? --[[User:Omega X|Omega X]] 18:12, 9 October 2010 (UTC) : It depends. Sometimes it's simple copy and paste, like adding or removing categories from similar pages. E.g. today I did fix the "Borg '''S'''tarships" category by replacing it with "Borg '''s'''tarships". That can be done very qickly, if you open all corresponding articles in one Browser Tab each. Another example are the {{USS|Bohr}}, {{USS|Oakland}}, {{USS|Kelvin}} and {{USS|Montreal}}: Their articles can be merely identical. :And then there is also the case when I work on several unrelated articles at a time in several Browser Tabs each and when I'm done, I'll just save them all one after another. :But if that is not your work flow, stick with what you feel comfortable with. What I and others do may look faster in the change log, but actually we have to take some time to actually write that stuff :-). :Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 21:46, 9 October 2010 (UTC) == MediaWiki bug == When uploading a large number of PNGs, one file kept getting the message regardless of number of attempts: "Files of the MIME type "application/x-php" are not allowed to be uploaded." Upon some searching online I found that this the software was finding false positives, but a patch was created a little over a year ago [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16583 here]. Who would be best to pass this along to for implementation? --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 02:47, 8 December 2010 (UTC) : Thx for researching this. I'll ask Alex to fix it. --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 09:52, 8 December 2010 (UTC) == Shield Guide == Thanks for featuring the shield guide on the front page. I feel compelled to finish it now. --[[User:Zutty|Zutty]] 18:05, 8 February 2011 (UTC) == STO Wiki Skin == Here I am, contacting you like you asked on Twitter! [[User:Carl|Carl]] 19:39, 9 February 2011 (UTC) :Hi I saw a new skin for STOwiki on Twitter a few months ago, can't seem to find it now but I remember it looked great. Anyone have the link?--[[User:Cyrano.Jones|Cyrano.Jones]] 20:33, 11 February 2011 (UTC) :: Link is http://twitter.com/#!/carlbooth/status/14005421345869824 [[User:Carl|Carl]] 23:10, 11 February 2011 (UTC) ::: Thanks for the links, they look great you should try and get them working as themes.--[[User:Cyrano.Jones|Cyrano.Jones]] 07:21, 12 February 2011 (UTC) I can't find your e-mail address anywhere - I've sent you mine on Twitter [[User:Carl|Carl]] 17:13, 16 February 2011 (UTC) ==Problem with Shipchart page== Hi, I tried to access the ships page on the main pge earlier today I couldn't get in, I tried again now; I still can't get in. What's wrong with the page? P.S. Are you in need of any more Admins? [[User:Cyrano.Jones]] : Hi Cyrano. Probably the file is too big (at least that is what the error suggests). I do not own the server infrastructure, so I cannot grant you access to it :-). I'll contact the folk, who can fix this. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 00:09, 10 February 2011 (UTC) :: Oh, I wasn't asking to be given access to the servers, I know you don't have that power. If you need anymore admins I'd be willing to help though--[[User:Cyrano.Jones|Cyrano.Jones]] 20:32, 11 February 2011 (UTC) ==Cure Walkthrough== Hi, Do you mind if I get started on the Cure Walkthrough? I've looked it up on this wiki already but someone has already started the page but not finished it. Half the information they've given isn't too helpful. I can finish the page, but I'll need to delete everything on it first is that OK? I've already put up a banner to tell people I'm editing the page is this OK? The ETA for the new Cure Walkthrough is Sunday 13-Tuesday 15 February 2011-- [[User:Cyrano.Jones|Cyrano.Jones]] 20:30, 11 February 2011 (UTC) : It's a wiki. You do not need to ask for permission. We are grateful for every contribution :-) --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 22:40, 11 February 2011 (UTC) ::The [[Mission: The Cure (Federation)/Walkthrough]] is now ready for use. Have a look at it, you may want to add it to the home page along side the other walkthorughs? --[[User:Cyrano.Jones|Cyrano.Jones]] 11:55, 12 February 2011 (UTC) ==Mission: Relief Effort== Hello, I would like you to review the page again and give some more suggestions on improvements please. --[[User:Dukedom|Dukedom]] 12:41, 5 March 2011 (UTC) ==Admin Spaces== Hi, Rachel are there any free admin spaces on STOWiki, I'd be happy to fill them. I've done almost as many articles in the last month than you have in a year, my work has been featured on the home page twice, is there anyone else more qualified than me?? What if both you and MatthewM decide to leave-then the wiki will break! P.S. Iedited the Reman Science Officer Page last Sunday-It's still listed as a stub! What other work needs doing to it? --[[User:Cyrano.Jones|Cyrano.Jones]] 17:03, 13 March 2011 (UTC) :Please compare [[Reman Science Officer Candidate]] with [[Tactical Duty Officer]], then you know why it is still classified as stub :-). I am not sure, if you are aware of this, but I was the only admin on this Wiki for half a year, and worked hard to get it back on track after TerranRich left. In many ways I am still working on that behind the scenes. We are dependent on Curse, and I need to work out any bug we have or feature change/improvement of the infrastructure with several liaisons on their end. So I do not think it is fair to simply compare article counts. :I really appreciate the work you have been doing on the Wiki, but I feel uncomfortable with promoting you so quickly. There are some "finer points" regarding Wiki editing and our guidelines, and I believe it takes time to live and breathe their "spirit" so to say. As admin you would have to instruct and guide other users, and it is not only about writing as much as possible. Also, there is only very little you cannot do as User, that you could as Admin (deleting pages and editing the front page are the only things I can think of). When MatthewM and I meet, we discuss which users could become admins. That way, we recently asked Zutty to become an admin. So we have the future of the Wiki on the radar and I am enthusiastically watching your contributions. Don't call us, we'll call you ;-) :If you need pointers, what could be done next, take a look at the "Under Construction" section on the front page or [[Special:WantedPages]]. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 10:09, 14 March 2011 (UTC) ==Discussion concerning STO canon== Hi Rachel, there is a discussion between [[User:Zutty]] and me, [[User:Markonian]], whether non-ingame contents from the "Path to 2409" should have their own articles. Please, could you share your thoughts about the topic with us? (The discussion can be found on my talkpage under "Star Trek Canon" and Zutty's under "Star Trek Online Canon". --[[User:Markonian|Markonian]] 22:27, 18 March 2011 (UTC) == Guide: Canon alien race builds == i have posted some new races in the talk section of this page. Romulan, Kressari, Karemma, Vorta and Jem'Hadar. I will try to recreate some more races from TNG and DS9. --[[User:Duckman|Duckman]] 16:11, 26 March 2011 (UTC) : Good work. When you have the time, try to add them to the article page using the other races as a template. I created the portraits in the tailor at their default orientation. Would be great, if we could keep them consistent. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 16:16, 26 March 2011 (UTC) :: sure, no problem. i will try to add them, but there are some issues about races like the Jem'Hadar, because it's nearly impossible to recreate them. they look really stupid when you try to recreate them because of the limitations of the charactereditor. I will only add races who can recreated to 90% or more. everything less will be an insult to hardcore fans. --[[User:Duckman|Duckman]] 16:24, 26 March 2011 (UTC) The whole thing looks great. Nice job Duckman--[[User:Curmudgeony|Curmudgeony]] 18:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC) == Auto Category Creation w/ Templates, Help? == As you can tell from my edits, I tend to work on the categories articles are in. I hope I haven't enraged anyone with my edits, nor puzzled anyone too greatly with my categorizations. :) The question I was hoping to resolve is, how do you edit or revise which category an article is in when the template auto generates a category? For example, there's a currently redlink Galaxys category and a few other ones like that.. Additionally I want to put the Class F shuttle on the Federation Starship Types category in the F's not the C's but since I suspect a template is throwing it in Federation Starship Types category as a C (b/c its a ''Class'' F shuttle) I'm not sure how to tweak it so it shows up listed under the F's. Help!--[[User:Curmudgeony|Curmudgeony]] 18:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC) : First of all, you do an amazing job with categorizing the articles. Regarding your question: You can go into the template and change the category there. However, you need to be patient with the changes to "tickle" through. Changing a category in a template will create a job on the server to update all articles and that takes a lot of time. The shuttle thing is a bit more complicated. I think you need to add a #switch statement to the respective template to specify an exception for the shuttle. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 07:34, 27 March 2011 (UTC) == June will be a fun month == The Duty Officer system will add hundreds (thousands?) of doffs and mini-missions, so [http://forums.startrekonline.com/showpost.php?p=3535791&postcount=23 STOwiki has its work cut out]. The first new Season in half a year -- exciting times! --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 00:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC) : I completely agree. However, I'm currently enjoying my first holiday in like two years. So I'm currently sitting in a Starbuck's far away from home and won't be back befor June. Have fun, I'll be back soon :-) --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 01:53, 14 May 2011 (UTC) :: Enjoy and have fun! STOwiki will be in good hands. I'm just so excited for the Season 4 goodies coming soon, not to mention the new toys tonight -- playable fighters and the first [[Horta|attack pet]]. :) --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 05:18, 14 May 2011 (UTC) :: On a side note, sometime this week a change (affecting but not originating STOwiki) changed the "wikitable" settings from having a transparent background to an all white one. This, in effect, makes the text difficult to read and would require going through every table page on the wiki to fix it if not done from the point of origin (the hosting server's default wiki settings?). --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 04:24, 27 May 2011 (UTC) ::: Hi again! Reporting using a crappy Motel WiFi. Try to override the template by editing [Mediawiki:Cavendish.css]. If it does not work, try contacting bmclemore [a7] curse [d07] com. Might have something to do with the guys finally moving us to a more current MediaWiki Version, so we can start using Carl's new skin. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 04:30, 27 May 2011 (UTC) :::: It appears [[User:Meavic]] created his own version of Cavendish.css in the past 48 hours that was identical to the old version but with several changes exclusively about the wikitable class. Suspiciously, Meavic had created the account immediately prior and hasn't made any contributions except to that page. I was able to edit the mediawiki version of the CSS file so that the black backgrounds have returned. --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 10:36, 27 May 2011 (UTC) ::::: Back for the action. Conveniently, my PC crashed, but I'm in the process of restoring the system to become productive again. Many thanks to you, Zutty, and the rest of the team for the ton of new stuff on the wiki. I have a lot of catching up to do :-) --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 15:05, 13 June 2011 (UTC) ::: It's not just the wikitable class. The search boxes (.mw-search-formheader and fieldset#mwsearchoptions) also have CSS setting the background to a near white color (#f3f3f3 and #f9f9f9, respectively). There are probably other elements of the wiki UI with this problem, but I see no common class to allow for an easy fix. The offending declarations are in /skins/common/shared.css, leaving me to suspect an update of the MediaWiki software is responsible. I'm going to poke around for more UI elements that need a background color override, but for now, the CSS to correct the issues I've seen so far: <nowiki>.mw-search-formheader { background-color: transparent !important; } fieldset#mw-searchoptions { background-color: transparent !important; } TablePager th, TablePager td { background-color: transparent !important; } TablePager th:hover td { background-color #111111 !important; }</nowiki> :::(It occurs to me that transparent may be a better choice with the placement of the search boxes.) <font color="#999999">—</font> [[User:Eyes|<small>'''Eyes'''</small>]] [[Image:User-Eyes-Sig.png|link=User talk:Eyes]] 20:07, 30 June 2011 (UTC) :::Those four rules above should cover all the cases I saw on special pages.

It seems, that Curse has updated our MediaWiki after the crash on the weekend. Thanks for hammering out the quirks. Regards, --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 20:34, 30 June 2011 (UTC) ::::::Just a reminder that, as a regular user, I can't actually put the CSS in to fix these problems.

I've also updated the [[Mission: Khitomer Accord]] page. Do you think it would be possible to feature the walkthrough on the home page like you did with my Cure Walkthrough? P.S. I have not been on for months due to the fact that my examinations have been going on for the last 6 weeks and I had to study for them before that. --[[User:Cyrano.Jones|Cyrano.Jones]] 12:06, 29 June 2011 (UTC) :Advertising a 'new' walkthrough that will become obsolete soon doesn't look like the brightest idea to me. --[[User:Dukedom|Dukedom]] 12:30, 29 June 2011 (UTC) :: I disagree. So far, we had no walkthrough and the STFs will be revamped "some time after S4", whenever that is :-) Thx Cryano, it's up. --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 12:37, 29 June 2011 (UTC) ::: I wasn't refering to the 'revamp'. There are quite a few borg changes that will make it onto holodeck with season 4, interlink nodes gone, adaption etc. pp Not that I don't apreciate the work done, it's just a little badly timed. --[[User:Dukedom|Dukedom]] 12:44, 29 June 2011 (UTC) :::: Until there is new content, I don't see a problem with the guide being featured until that time. It is up to the users to keep articles updated and I welcome those to prepare an update to the article for Season 4 when that hits. --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 12:48, 29 June 2011 (UTC) ::::MatthewM is correct, I'll be updating both my walkthroughs once the Borg changes are added to Holodeck.--[[User:Cyrano.Jones|Cyrano.Jones]] 12:51, 29 June 2011 (UTC) ==YouTube Videos== I have made some useful videos for the Star Trek Online First City & Earth Spacedock-giving tours of respective areas. Can I post these in their STOWiki pages? Is there a way to embed YouTube videos on STOwiki-if so how? If not would it be possible to set YouTube posting up? Videos found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1VvmcRfwdA&feature=channel_video_title] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5uiOTI4TAw&feature=relmfu] -[[User:Cyrano.Jones|Cyrano.Jones]] 17:52, 30 June 2011 (UTC) : I'd suggest adding these as an external link at the bottom of the article. --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 19:08, 30 June 2011 (UTC) ==STOked 74== Hi RachelGarrett, just saw you on Jupiter Broadcasting's 74th edition of "STOked" - congratulations! I've also downloaded the Demo Record and tested it, it's pretty cool. Out of curiosity, are you German? Have a nice weekend! -- [[User:Markonian|Markonian]] 10:50, 3 July 2011 (UTC) : Pssst! It's a secret! ;-) Glad, you like the tool. I need to spend a lot more time working on it (and the Wiki of course). --[[User:RachelGarrett|RachelGarrett]] 08:05, 4 July 2011 (UTC) == New Skin == Moved comments to [[Project_talk:Skin_Update]], so the skin author sees them. == Contact with our host == Do we have anyone in communication with Curse staff right now? Any contacts for configuration issues or bugs that come up? I want to get a sense of the general protocol since I'm likely to end up trying to debug any such issues that come up. <font color="#999999">—</font> [[User:Eyes|<small>'''Eyes'''</small>]] [[Image:User-Eyes-Sig.png|link=User talk:Eyes]] 19:02, 21 July 2011 (UTC) : I've send you an in-game PM with the e-mail contacts.

How do I do that? [[User:ErisTheVorta|ErisTheVorta]] 20:45, 25 July 2011 (UTC) :When you go to an article like [[Photon Torpedo Launcher]] and click to edit, at the very bottom of page is list of templates used, such as [[Template:Shipweapdmg/Torpedo_Launcher]]. --[[User:MatthewM|MatthewM]] 23:05, 25 July 2011 (UTC) :: What MatthewM said :-).
