* '''Menu:''' The menu entry "In short - history" nearly contains all necessary informations about the different CPC models. Maybe we can delete the entries for the different models and add For older talks please have a new entry for look at the technical informations (CRTC, GateArray, etc.). What do you think about it?:I completely agree with it. We should group it in a technical specifications article. -- [[UserTalk:ProdatronMain_Page/Archive1|ProdatronArchive]] 17:04, 9 August 2006 (CEST):Or maybe we just group the "old generation", so we have 2 or 3 entries? Don't know... -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 17:09, 9 August 2006 (CEST)::Hmm, but wouldn't it better if the informations are collected in one article (less mouseclicks -> I'm lazy ;)). --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 21:18, 9 August 2006 (CEST):This article is intended indeed as a short introduction. I do believe that quite a bit more can be written about each specific model, so I think they are worth a page of their own...? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 10:06, 10 August 2006 (CEST)----
'''Adding templates:''' We should add some templates to mark articles for e.g. deletion. You can see == Forum ==Today 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://enwww.wikipediacpcwiki.orgeu/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages)forum Forum] opened its gates.:Hmmm I'm not really sure what you mean... the Beau Jolly page is a harmless prank - at least I consider felt it so at this point. If and when was necessary because the wiki gets bigger and to such a size that systematic patrolling discussion system of the Wiki is needed, then I think we can start putting some mechanisms into placenot adequate... For now, just reading the changes and glancing at the pages It is surely enough? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 14:07, 7 August 2006 (CEST)::I not 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 coursereplace every talk page, but some to easily mark articles for deletion or for the need of an improvement would be nice (no automatic robots - just to mark the articles). --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 14:24, 7 August 2006 (CEST):::Ah, that's interesting now... I'll have to see how to implement them - unless you got some idea? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 14:53, 7 August 2006 (CEST)::::I think they can just be added with copy & paste!? --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 15:06, 7 August 2006 (CEST):::::I made a test with the [[Beau Jolly]] article. Unfortunately you can't do simple copy & paste because of all the internal links in the Wikipedia templates. Maybe someone can improve it. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:57, 7 August 2006 (CEST):I would like to see templates for different categories of software ''e.g.'' games, demos, applications, like the information boxes one sees on Wikipedia for computer games - see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindizzy_(computer_game) Wikipedia's entry on ''Spindizzy''] as an example. The problem good for me at the moment is that I don't know how to create complex tables and boxes in wiki markup at the moment! general discussion topics :-( [[User:Nich|Nich]] 17:31, 7 August 2006 (CEST)::I added the template for the game info boxes ([[Template:Infobox CVG]]), but currently the "parser functions" like #if: don't seem to work. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 18:44, 7 August 2006 (CEST)::Ok, I found the page which explains the installation of the "ParserFunctions" extension. It have to be installed to get the template working: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions#Installation --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 18:51, 7 August 2006 (CEST):::Mmmm just installed it -at least the relevant files. But, how about this line:::: <pre>require_once( "$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php" );</pre>,:::it says it has to go to the end of LocalSettings.php. But if I do place it there (before the closing tag), it breaks the whole wiki... darn. Will try to look into it. [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 2009:3206, 7 August 22 November 2006 (CESTCET)----
'''More Fileformats''' should be added, so upload of PDF and ZIP-Files will be possible. I Think a lot of manuals and stuff is in PDF-Format or some Freeware / 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 cpc.: More file extensions allowed now. You can actually upload zip, rar (preferred due to better compression), pdf and mp3 (for all those tape conversions!). Nevertheless, can't a manual be copied as txt? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 09:00, 6 August 2006 (CEST):: '''THIS IS NOT!! working'''. I have tried to upload a PDFand a ZIP. Both doesn't work. Please check that and correct it [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 22:53, 9 August 2006 (CEST)----== Sidebar links ==
'''Moving the search''' field There is a bit more to little problem with the top of pages linked only in the left menu will be nice, so its easier to search articles without scrolling aroundsidebar: they only appear on the default mediawiki theme. Hope you can do that PLEAAAASE ..There is a list here:-) [[Userspecial:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJTlonelypages]] 09Link them from somewhere else :36, 5 August 2006 (CEST)
:That would be nice - :Ah yes, you're right and I think have noticed it should be higher, too. The problem ismyself - though I don't know why anyone would use some other theme, I think this has to do with is the skinbest by far :D Anyhow, and I'm not yet as comfortable with customising itjust waiting to move servers, when this is done I'll look after such details... if someone knows how, please step forwardthanks for pointing out!!! [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 1610:4803, 5 August 28 July 2006 (CESTCDT)----
I think it would be nice to have a menu link to technical documentation and sourcecode (routine collection) on the left side::There is still 14 orphaned pages. You then can put articles like 'Hardware scrolling' in this categories..and i prefer using another theme because i use a browser without css support. .. And what is the difference between [[Applications]] and Utilities ?:::You are right, I will move the Utilities to the Apps and mark them to be deleted! --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 1510:1413, 3 July 11 August 2006 (CDTCEST)
: That's a really good idea - it would be nice to be able to post source code here.... --[[User:ChaRleyTroniC|ChaRleyTroniC]] 17:00, 3 July 2006 (CDT)== Search ==
As I still don´t understand why we have two search windows I repeat the question if we really need them both? ;-) --[[User: Indeed Villain|Villain]] 17:08, 28 August 2006 (CEST):Yup. The second one (the top 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's a nice ideawill probably grow again.... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 18:22, 28 August 2006 (CEST):: hey.. i'm just waiting for someone who tells me.. REMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second Search-Field and I thought about .. booom.. it upon looking at will be gone :-D [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]]:::Hey Kanga, REMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second search field! --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 21:04, 28 August 2006 (CEST)::::Don´t know if anybody else already told you but: REMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second Search-Field --[[User:Villain|Villain]] 21:09, 28 August 2006 (CEST)::::Ok, have noticed the source code provided over at Wink with the Zone. Will add a link when I get back from work Zaunpfahl :-) and i will do my job tomorrow, if i find time :- ):::::Ok, I removed it. Happy, y'all? :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 2220:00, 29 August 2006 (CEST):::::Ahh Gryzor did it :) So what? [[User:81.90.35.80|81.90.35.80]] 11:20, 3 July 24 September 2006 (CDTCEST)
----== Mainpage and Sidebar ==
Maybe its possible to make a list TBH I like Gryzors rollback of the sidebar, as all software-houses like Oceanthe important main links should be mentioned there to have fast access from every point inside CPCWiki. With an usual screen resolution you should see the complete main part of the sidebar, Alligata etcso I don't see any problem with its length. Where we can add some nice informations about those companies?
: You can actually add Regarding the main page, what's about redesigning it a link yourself. If you go into little bit in the way of most other Wikis like Wikipedia? The [[Games]] section you can add a link about [[Software Houses]] and start addingmain page shouldn't contain the complete site map. Maybe I will add it to like the sidebar as well :) style of Wikipedia much more. -- [[User:GryzorProdatron|GryzorProdatron]] 2216:3529, 3 July 29 August 2006 (CDTCEST)
: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 the different stuff in the Wiki, because you have much more room there to give a good entry point. Btw, I only use 1024x768 and I so I see it till "Software-Programming" in the sidebar (ok, will change if I get a new notebook someday ;)). Anyway, I will join the majority =). ---[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 19:54, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
Why does :::"Software-Programming" is your last visible entry? 8-O Maybe you choosed a font size of 300% and installed the crap keep getting posted Google, Yahoo and MSN toolbars at the bottom of same time? ;-)) My last entry is "Editing help", well, with 1280x1024. Ok, the sidebar could be still optimized, maybe we can move "About - contribute" to the end (it should be also mentioned on the main start page) and remove "PD libraries" as an example (not so important for having an own entry point here IMHO)... bloody spammers! -- [[User:ExecutionerProdatron|ExecutionerProdatron]]20:26, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
:Indeed... ::: Here at work I have noticed your work (you always get to it faster than me!)use 2560x1024, and I really thank you for thatso there is no problem here. This is what you get for allowing posts without registering, but Maybe I think it's worth it continuing like this, at least for will use a while, smaller font size and see how it goes... Thanks so much! buy some glasses for my notebook ;-) --[[User:GryzorOctoate|GryzorOctoate]] 0210:1652, 22 July 30 August 2006 (CDTCEST)
----::The reason I rolled it back to a more expanded list (though I condensed the 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 entire SIdebar may not be visible, I think that removing it altogether is much worse than having one that doesn't show in its entirety!
:: Concerning the main page, now, it should not be the only launching page - the user should not need to get to the homepage in order to jump to a different category, hence the use of the Sidebar. On the other hand I find it '''much more useful''' as it is right now, than like it was before, though it can be improved somewhat - I'll agree with Prodatron in that it looks somewhat 'dry' right now.[[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:05, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
I think it will be a good idea to do localisation::: Oh come on. So i can add or translate Pages into german, cause my english writing is not . wich BAST)(&" has modified the Sidebar again to that good as needed for really useless and annoying list of unwanted links :-D Why dont use the wiki. I'll do my bestmainpage AND the SEARCH to find content, but hey.. there are a few users around wich cannot write nor read englishinstead of adding things wild, so it will be a help for them. What do you think about localisationunorganized and useless to the sidebar?? [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 0921:3149, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
: I would be a little bit afraid::: You and Octo have your mainpage, that this could split up and Gryzor and me have our forces, as it is a lot additional work. Maybe people would start writing only in their native languages. Better to have an article in bad english (which can be corrected by other people) than having it only in a "local" language (which can't be read by other people). But that's just my opinionsidebar. Everyone is happy now :-P -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 1321:1258, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
:: 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 ;-:: =). --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 1510:5752, 5 30 August 2006 (CEST)
:::: I think this was discussed it´s useful to have some more things on the Sidebar than before.But now it´s too much.. I'm not against content in other languages, but I'm worried this will lead to lots of content being in French, German or Spanish, hence for a limited audience. So I was thinking that maybe it As Prodi already said PD libraries should be allowed as long as an english translation is provided. In any casekicked out, maybe we can allow it with the provision that this will, eventually, be translated. But if we see that no translations are done, then maybe it shouldn't continuealso clones and some others too... --[[User:GryzorVillain|GryzorVillain]] 1621:3857, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST):: i dont think its clever to do it that way so it will be better to have only english as main language. the problem also will be, that the content will move away in different languages, so information will be vailable in german but are not at the english page and so on. dont know how it can be handled to have everything with the same content in different languages
::::: Sounds good! ----[[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 21:58, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
== Archive ==::::: It did it in this way and moved "contribute" to the end. Is it better now? Btw, how can I clear the cache? -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 22:04, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
Btw:::: The Bastard is me, I would guess. As I said, shouldn't we better add new entries here at the end 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 text? -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 23:02wiki without having to go to the main page. It is NOT useless, 9 August 2006 certainly NOT unwanted (CESTI use it all the time instead of the main page links):Not reallyand I doubt it's annoying - the space is empty if you don't put links there, old stuff so it goes wasted. The Main Page is getting pushed NOT the place to put links on and is much harder to use than the bottom which sidebar. Unorganized? I wouldn't think so - the structure is nice 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]] 1009:0649, 10 30 August 2006 (CEST)----Hi, if == New main page == I add a JPG with was so free and reorganized the '|thumb' commandcomplete main page into the usual "wiki style".So the complete link list ("CPCWiki portal") has its own page now - we should improve this page, it doesn't show on that nearly all articels can be found there directly or indirectly.Regarding the new main page (e.gmaybe we can add even more sections like "article of the month" or something like this. -- [[CPC Schneider InternationalUser:Prodatron|Prodatron]]02:40, 1 September 2006 (CEST:Great.
