Changes

<center>'''Main This page:''' Yesterday, Kanga and me thought about how to do a good entry point for the articles of the Wiki and came to the conclusion that the main page wastes too much space and the sidebar gets too bigis now obsolete. If it is ok, I will think about a new design of It has been superceded by the main page during the weekend and maybe prepare a first design under in the "Loose Lemmas" article. --[[Userhttp:Octoate|Octoate//www.cpcwiki.eu/forum dedicated forum]] 10:09, 11 August 2006 (CEST)----so please go there!'''</center>

* '''Math:''' Today I wanted to add some formulas (very simple!) to describe For older talks please have a look at the mathmatic background of a routine. Are <math> Tags supported? --[[UserTalk:OctoateMain_Page/Archive1|OctoateArchive]] 21:18, 9 August 2006 (CEST):Which article did you edit? Can you try emailing me? You have not verified your email address and I can.''t send you an email... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 10:06, 10 August 2006 (CEST)----

'''Menu== Forum ==Today the [http:''' The menu entry "In short - history" nearly contains all necessary informations about the different CPC models//www. Maybe we can delete the entries for the different models and add a new entry for the technical informations (CRTC, GateArray, etccpcwiki.)eu/forum Forum] opened its gates. What do you think about it?:I completely agree with felt it. We should group it in a technical specifications article. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 17:04, 9 August 2006 (CEST):Or maybe we just group was necessary because the "old generation", so we have 2 or 3 entries? Don't knowdiscussion system of the Wiki is not adequate... -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 17:09, 9 August 2006 (CEST)::HmmIt is not meant to replace every talk page, but wouldn't it better if the informations are collected in one article (less mouseclicks -> I'm lazy ;)). --[[Users good for general discussion topics :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]] 1009:06, 10 August 22 November 2006 (CESTCET)----

'''Adding templates:''' 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 - 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? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 14:07, 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 - 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 == Sidebar 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 for me at the moment is that I don't know how to create complex tables and boxes in wiki markup at the moment! :-( [[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]] 20:32, 7 August 2006 (CEST)----==

'''More Fileformats''' should be added, so upload of PDF and ZIP-Files will be possible. I Think There is a lot of manuals and stuff is in PDF-Format or some Freeware / Shareware / Public Domain Programmes can be directly addes to little problem with the pages (Wanted to do that with linked only in the SOundtrakkr 128K). So its will be great if someone who reads something about a demo or programm also can download sidebar: they only appear on the DSK or whatever to run it on an emulator or cpcdefault mediawiki theme.: 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 There is a manual be copied as txt? list here: [[Userspecial:Gryzor|Gryzorlonelypages]] 09:00, 6 August 2006 (CEST)Link them from somewhere else :: '''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)----

'''Moving the search''' field a bit more to the top of the left menu will be nice, so its easier to search articles without scrolling around. Hope you can do that PLEAAAASE :-) [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 09:36Ah yes, 5 August 2006 (CEST):That would be nice you're right and I have noticed it myself - though I don't know why anyone would use some other theme, I think it should be higher, too. The problem this isthe best by far :D Anyhow, this has I'm just waiting to do with the skinmove servers, and when this is done I'm not yet as comfortable with customising itll 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... --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 15:14, 3 July 2006 (CDT): That's and i prefer using another theme because i use a really good idea - it would be nice to be able to post source code herebrowser without css support.... --And what is the difference between [[User:ChaRleyTroniC|ChaRleyTroniCApplications]] 17:00, 3 July 2006 (CDT)and Utilities ?: Indeed it's a nice idea, and I thought about it upon looking at the source code provided over at the Zone. Will add a link when I get back from work :) - [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 22:35You are right, 3 July 2006 (CDT)----I think it will be a good idea move the Utilities to do localisation. So i can add or translate Pages into german, cause my english writing is not that good as needed for the wiki. I'll do my best, but hey.. there are a few users around wich cannot write nor read english, so it will Apps and mark them to be a help for them. What do you think about localisation? deleted! --[[User:KangarooOctoate|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJTOctoate]] 0910:3113, 5 11 August 2006 (CEST)

:: As I still don´t understand why we have two search windows I repeat the same opinion like Prodatron. It's much more work and question if we really need them both Wikis will be different. You can see an example for that situation on the ? ;-) --[http[User://wiki.gp2x.org GP2X WikiVillain|Villain] and this device has a much bigger userbase] 17:08, 28 August 2006 (CEST):Yup. I guess The second one (the most common language should be used, top one) was added when the sidebar was so we should write greektall that the lower search field was out of the screen.Now the sidebar is too short, but it will probably grow again... aehm.[[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 18:22, 28 August 2006 (CEST):: hey.. english ;i'm just waiting for someone who tells me..

: I think this was discussed before... 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 should be allowed as long as an english translation is provided. In any case, 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 continue... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 16:38, 5 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 == Mainpage and so on. dont know how it can be handled to have everything with the same content in different languagesSidebar ==

Btw:Well, shouldnI differ in my opinion with yours. I don't we better add 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 entries here at notebook someday ;)). Anyway, I will join the end majority =). --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 19:54, 29 August 2006 (CEST) :::"Software-Programming" is your last visible entry? 8-O Maybe you choosed a font size of 300% and installed the textGoogle, Yahoo and MSN toolbars at the 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 start page) and remove "PD libraries" as an example (not so important for having an own entry point here IMHO). -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 2320:0226, 9 29 August 2006 (CEST) :Not really::: Here at work I use 2560x1024, old stuff so there is getting pushed to the bottom which is nice :no problem here. Maybe I will use a smaller font size and buy some glasses for my notebook ;-) --[[User:GryzorOctoate|GryzorOctoate]] 10:0652, 10 30 August 2006 (CEST)----Hi, if ::The reason I add rolled it back to a JPG with more expanded list (though I condensed the CPC models) is that, if it'|thumbs not like that, then surely there' commands 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 on in its entirety! :: Concerning the main page (e, 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.gOn 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.

What am I doing wrong. 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? ?

As I said, the permissions on reason for rolling it back is that under the servershort form, there is simply NO NEED for the sidebar. The Wiki needs sidebar is there for the image folder reader to be chmod'ed able to 777, but some navigate quickly to all parts of the subfolders do not have full access yetwiki without having to go to the main page. It is NOT useless, certainly NOT unwanted (Iuse it all the time instead of the main page links) and I doubt it'm trying 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 chmod all 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 themways to improve it, but how please do I make sure that step forward. It's not even wild, since it has been tamed a lot since its first appearance, and definitely not unorganized - see the newly created ones will be 777little boxes that organise it? :p [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 0809:3849, 5 30 August 2006 (CEST) == New main page == I was so free and reorganized the complete main page into the usual "wiki style".So the complete link list ("CPCWiki portal") has its own page now - we should improve this page, that nearly all articels can be found there directly or indirectly.Regarding the new main page maybe we can add even more sections like "article of the month" or something like this. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 02:if you need help or Shell40, 1 September 2006 (CEST) :Great.

In general you have a headline, which have to be placed to add the real news (max 10 entries), the news archive (unlimited) and the main page (max 3 entries).
