'''Adding templates<div style="margin-top:''' We should add some templates to mark articles for e.g. deletion. You can see the reason for the need for templates if you have a look at the article about [[Beau Jolly]]. You can find examples for that kind of templates in the original wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages).:Hmmm I'm not really sure what you mean... the Beau Jolly page is a harmless prank 32px;text- at least I consider it so at this point. If and when the wiki gets bigger and to such a size that systematic patrolling is needed, then I think we can start putting some mechanisms into place... For now, just reading the changes and glancing at the pages is surely enough? [[Useralign:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 14center;padding:07, 7 August 2006 (CEST)::I meant the template signs of Wikipedia to simply add warning, etc. Here is an direct example of some different marks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages/Disputes We don't need all signs, of course, but some to easily mark articles for deletion or for the need of an improvement would be nice (no automatic robots 5px 0px 4px 0px;background- just to mark the articles). --[[Usercolor:Octoate|Octoate]] 14#ffc0c0;border:24, 7 August 2006 (CEST)1px solid #ffc0c0;">:::Ah, that's interesting now...

* '''More Fileformats''' should be added, so upload of PDF and ZIP-Files will be possible. I Think For older talks please have a lot of manuals and stuff is in PDF-Format or some Freeware look at the [[Talk:Main_Page/ Shareware / Public Domain Programmes can be directly addes to the pages (Wanted to do that with the SOundtrakkr 128K). So its will be great if someone who reads something about a demo or programm also can download the DSK or whatever to run it on an emulator or cpcArchive1|Archive]].''

== Forum ==Today the [http: More file extensions allowed now//www. You can actually upload zip, rar (preferred due cpcwiki.eu/forum Forum] opened its gates. I felt it was necessary because the discussion system of the Wiki is not adequate... It is not meant to better compression)replace every talk page, pdf and mp3 (but it's good for all those tape conversions!general discussion topics :). Nevertheless, can't a manual be copied as txt?

:Well, absolutely, why not? I mean, there's nothing stopping you doing so anyway, and in general There is a real name would be welcome indeed, to go little problem with the pseudonympages linked only in the sidebar: they only appear on the default mediawiki theme... Maybe There is a photo too list here: [[special:lonelypages]]Link them from somewhere else :)

::Ah yes, you're right and I have noticed it myself ----though I don't know why anyone would use some other theme, I think this is the best by far :D Anyhow, I'm just waiting to move servers, when this is done I'll look after such details... thanks for pointing out!!!

As I think it would be nice to still don´t understand why we have a menu link to technical documentation and sourcecode two search windows I repeat the question if we really need them both? ;-) --[[User:Villain|Villain]] 17:08, 28 August 2006 (routine collectionCEST) on :Yup. The second one (the left sidetop one) was added when the sidebar was so tall that the lower search field was out of the screen. Now the sidebar is too short, but it will probably grow again....

: Indeed it's a nice idea, and TBH I thought about it upon looking at like Gryzors rollback of the source code provided over at sidebar, as all the Zone. Will add a link when I get back important main links should be mentioned there to have fast access from work :) - [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 22:35every point inside CPCWiki. With an usual screen resolution you should see the complete main part of the sidebar, 3 July 2006 (CDT)so I don't see any problem with its length.

Regarding the main page, what's about redesigning it a little bit in the way of most other Wikis like Wikipedia? The main page shouldn't contain the complete site map. I like the style of Wikipedia much more. ----[[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:29, 29 August 2006 (CEST)

Maybe its possible :Well, I differ in my opinion with yours. I don't like a big sidebar and prefer a good main page which can bring me directly to make the different stuff in the Wiki, because you have much more room there to give a list of all softwaregood entry point. Btw, I only use 1024x768 and I so I see it till "Software-houses like OceanProgramming" in the sidebar (ok, Alligata etcwill change if I get a new notebook someday ;)). Where we can add some nice informations about those companies?Anyway, I will join the majority =). --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 19:54, 29 August 2006 (CEST)

: You can actually add a link yourself. If ::"Software-Programming" is your last visible entry? 8-O Maybe you go into The [[Games]] section you can add choosed a link about [[Software Houses]] font size of 300% and start addinginstalled the Google, Yahoo and MSN toolbars at the same time? ;-)) My last entry is "Editing help", well, with 1280x1024. Maybe I will add it to Ok, the sidebar could be still optimized, maybe we can move "About - contribute" to the end (it should be also mentioned on the start page) and remove "PD libraries" as well :an example (not so important for having an own entry point here IMHO) . -- [[User:GryzorProdatron|GryzorProdatron]] 2220:3526, 3 July 29 August 2006 (CDTCEST)

:::: Here at work I use 2560x1024, so there is no problem here. Maybe I will use a smaller font size and buy some glasses for my notebook ;-) ---[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 10:52, 30 August 2006 (CEST)

Why does ::The reason I rolled it back to a more expanded list (though I condensed the crap keep getting posted at CPC models) is that, if it's not like that, then surely there's no reason in having a Sidebar? 8) Though I understand that on some resolutions (are you really on '''1024'''?? :D ) the bottom of the main page... bloody spammersentire SIdebar may not be visible, I think that removing it altogether is much worse than having one that doesn't show in its entirety! [[User:Executioner|Executioner]]

:Indeed... I have noticed your work (you always : Concerning the main page, now, it should not be the only launching page - the user should not need to get to it faster than me!)the homepage in order to jump to a different category, and I really thank you for thathence the use of the Sidebar. This is what you get for allowing posts without registering, but On the other hand I think find it's worth ''much more useful''' as it continuing is right now, than like thisit was before, at least for a while, and see how though it goescan be improved somewhat - I'll agree with Prodatron in that it looks somewhat 'dry' right now... Thanks so much! [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 0220:1605, 22 July 29 August 2006 (CDTCEST)

::: Oh come on.. wich BAST)(&" has modified the Sidebar again to that really useless and annoying list of unwanted links :----D Why dont use the mainpage AND the SEARCH to find content, instead of adding things wild, unorganized and useless to the sidebar??

Hi:::: You and Octo have your mainpage, if I add a JPG with the '|thumb' command, it doesn't show on the page (eand Gryzor and me have our sidebar.g. [[CPC Schneider International]]).

:::Problem solved indeed :) : It did it in this way and moved "contribute" to the end. Is it better now? Btw, how can I clear the cache? -- [[User:GryzorProdatron|GryzorProdatron]] 1622:3804, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)

:::: The Bastard is me, I would guess. As I said, the reason for rolling it back is that under the short form, there is simply NO NEED for the sidebar. The sidebar is there for the reader to be able to navigate quickly to all parts of the wiki without having to go to the main page. It is NOT useless, certainly NOT unwanted (I use it all the time instead of the main page links) and I doubt it's annoying -the space is empty if you don't put links there, so it goes wasted. The Main Page is NOT the place to put links on and is much harder to use than the sidebar. Unorganized? I wouldn't think so -the structure is quite ok right now, if anyone can think of ways to improve it, please do step forward. It's not even wild, since it has been tamed a lot since its first appearance, and definitely not unorganized --see the little boxes that organise it? :p [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 09:49, 30 August 2006 (CEST)

: I would be a little bit afraid, that this could split up our forces, as it is a lot additional workwas so free and reorganized the complete main page into the usual "wiki style". Maybe people would start writing only in their native languages. Better to have an article in bad english So the complete link list (which can be corrected by other people) than having it only in a "localCPCWiki portal" language (which ) has its own page now - we should improve this page, that nearly all articels can't be read by other people)found there directly or indirectly. But that's just my opinionRegarding the new main page maybe we can add even more sections like "article of the month" or something like this. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 1302:1240, 5 August 1 September 2006 (CEST)

:: Great. I have the same opinion like Prodatron. It's much more work and both Wikis will be different. You can see an example for that situation on the [http://wiki.gp2x.org GP2X Wiki] and this device has a much bigger userbase. I guess the most common language should be used, so we should write greek.... aehm... english ;-)new wikilike design. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 1509:5758, 5 August 1 September 2006 (CEST)

:: I think this was discussed befoream pleased to hear that! We just need to take care about the up-to-dateness.As an example, every one, who is inserting a new entry in the news section should also update the main page.I would also like to suggest and add some guidelines, which describe, what and how to add entries to the different sections in the main page to prevent uncontrolled growth. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:24, 1 September 2006 (CEST) ::: Ilike the new layout as well, it'm not against content in other languagess meaningful and nicely put, but although I think it can use a little cleaning over time :) I'm worried this will lead a bit confused as to lots of content being in Frenchhow news etc works, German or Spanishthough, hence it currently seems to be all over the place and it's difficult to maintain it for a limited audiencesomeone who doesn't know exactly how. So .. [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:37, 1 September 2006 (CEST):::: Regarding the news I was thinking that maybe it should will write a suggestion for the guidline how to insert new news.
