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 == Forum ==Today the [http:/ Shareware / Public Domain Programmes can be directly addes to the pages (Wanted to do that with the SOundtrakkr 128K)www. So cpcwiki.eu/forum Forum] opened its will be great if someone who reads something about a demo or programm also can download gates. I felt it was necessary because the discussion system of the DSK or whatever to run it on an emulator or cpcWiki is not adequate.: More file extensions allowed now. You can actually upload zip, rar (preferred due . 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? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 09:0006, 6 August 22 November 2006 (CESTCET):: THIS IS NOT!! working

==Adding templatesThere is a little problem with the pages linked only in the sidebar:==they only appear on the default mediawiki theme...There is a list here: [[special:lonelypages]]Link them from somewhere else :)

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 IAh yes, you'm not really sure what you mean... the Beau Jolly page is a harmless prank - at least re right and I consider have noticed it so at this point. If and when the wiki gets bigger and to such a size that systematic patrolling is needed, then myself - though 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 know why anyone 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 use some idea? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 14:53other theme, 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 for me at the moment this is that I don't know how to create complex tables and boxes in wiki markup at the moment! best by far :-( [[User:Nich|Nich]] 17:31D Anyhow, 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 m just waiting to work. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 18:44move servers, 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 when 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 is done I do place it there (before the closing tag), it breaks the whole wiki'll look after such details... darn. Will try to look into it. thanks for pointing out!!! [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 2010:3203, 7 August 28 July 2006 (CESTCDT)

==Menu:==:There is still 14 orphaned pages... 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]] 10:13, 11 August 2006 (CEST)

==MathAs I still don´t understand why we have two search windows I repeat the question if we really need them both? ;-) --[[User:==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 will 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.. booom.. it 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 Wink with the Zaunpfahl :-) and i will do my job tomorrow, if i find time :-):::::Ok, I removed it. Happy, y'all? :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:00, 29 August 2006 (CEST):::::Ahh Gryzor did it :) So what? [[User:81.90.35.80|81.90.35.80]] 11:20, 24 September 2006 (CEST)

Today I wanted to add some formulas (very simple!) to describe the mathmatic background of a routine. Are <math> Tags supported? --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 21:18, 9 August 2006 (CEST):Which article did you edit? Can you try emailing me? You have not verified your email address == Mainpage and I can't send you an email... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 10:06, 10 August 2006 (CEST)Sidebar ==

when tryig to add Regarding the main page, what's about redesigning it a PNG-File, there occurs an error saying that the png is not correct. Can you please check if PNG is enabled little bit in the wiki configuration. Thank you [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue way of HJT]] 21:21, 9 August 2006 (CEST):Will look into it, I thought i had it fixed... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 10:06, 10 August 2006 (CEST):: Darn... I canmost other Wikis like Wikipedia? The main page shouldn't get it to work! what has to be done is add this line to LocalSettings.php: $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ogg','doc','xls','ppt','mp3','pdf' ); listing all contain the extensions you needcomplete site map... well, I changed LocalSettingslike the style of Wikipedia much more.php and also changed DefaultSettings.php (though not advisable), extensions are not blacklisted but it still won't work !! ARGH!!!! -- [[User:GryzorProdatron|GryzorProdatron]] 0816:4729, 11 29 August 2006 (CEST)

: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 ==Main page). --[[User:==Octoate|Octoate]] 19:54, 29 August 2006 (CEST)

Yesterday, Kanga and me thought about how to do :::"Software-Programming" is your last visible entry? 8-O Maybe you choosed a good entry point for the articles font size of the Wiki 300% and came to installed the conclusion that the main page wastes too much space Google, Yahoo and MSN toolbars at the sidebar gets too big. If it same time? ;-)) My last entry is ok, I will think about a new design of the main page during the weekend and maybe prepare a first design under in the "Loose LemmasEditing help" article. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 10:09, 11 August 2006 (CEST):Basicallywell, I was thinking of creating text boxes on the main pagewith 1280x1024. That was my intention right from the beginningOk, and I thought I'd do it once there's enough stuff. I'm not too sure about how to shorten the sidebarcould be still optimized, though... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 22:08, 11 August 2006 (CEST):: Just dont add the whole CPC Models again :-) summarize the stuff in maybe we can move "CPCAbout -Modelscontribute" and you won 4-Lines in to the Side.Bar [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 22:20, 11 August 2006 end (CEST):::Well, I know you're somewhat right, but I'd like to hope that by having them there would motivate someone to write something extensive on a single model... later on maybe I'll pull it in (probably two entries: CPC and CPC+/GX4000)... By the way, I've managed to tidy up the Sidebar a bit. [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 07:12, 12 August 2006 (CEST)::::Seems, that we can should be happy if someones writes an article for at least one model of also mentioned on the old generation CPCs ;-start page) As the hardware is nearly the same between the first 3 models, I think one article should be enough. I modified the sidebar a little bit and changed the font size of the remove "mono bookPD libraries" skin back to its correct size of 127%as an example (not so important for having an own entry point here IMHO). -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 1820:4726, 12 29 August 2006 (CEST)

::The reason I had rolled it back to a few minutes, so more expanded list (though I did this [http://www.cpcscene.com/wiki.png little logo] for condensed the wiki. Feel free to use it (or notCPC models). - Grim/Arkos: Very nice!: Hello mateis that, thanks for your effort! I'm afraid if it's a bit too busynot like that, lacking a bit then surely there's no reason in coherence... having a Sidebar? 8) Though I know mine is not very much cpc-related, so if understand that on some resolutions (are you can improve yours... Cheers! [[Userreally on '''1024'''?? :Gryzor|Gryzor]] 22:08, 11 August 2006 (CESTD )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!

==Talk :: Concerning the main page format==, 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)

Could we please stay with this usual format for talk pages::: 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? It ? [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 21:49, 29 August 2006 (CEST) :::: You and Octo have your mainpage, and Gryzor and me have our sidebar. Everyone is used happy now :-P -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 21:58, 29 August 2006 (CEST) ::::: =) --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 10:52, 30 August 2006 (CEST) :::: I think it´s useful to have some more things on the Sidebar than before. But now it´s too much... As Prodi already said PD libraries should be kicked out, also clones and some others too... --[[User:Villain|Villain]] 21:57, 29 August 2006 (CEST) ::::: Sounds good! -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 21:58, 29 August 2006 (CEST) ::::: 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) :::: 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 other Wikiswiki 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 as I doubt it's annoying - the space is empty if you see, 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) == New main page == I was so free and reorganized the complete main page into the usual "+wiki style" function.So the complete link list ("CPCWiki portal") has its own page now - we should improve this page, which supports 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 format. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 02:40, too1 September 2006 (CEST) :Great. Every I like the new entry wikilike design. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 09:58, 1 September 2006 (CEST) ::I am 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) ::: I like the new layout as well, it's meaningful and nicely put, although I think it can use a little cleaning over time :) I'm a bit confused as to how news etc works, though, it currently seems to be all over the place and it's difficult to maintain it for someone who doesn't know exactly how... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:37, 1 September 2006 (CEST):::: Regarding the news I will write a suggestion for the guidline how to insert new news. In general you have a headline, which have to be placed at to the endnews (max 10 entries), not at the topnews archive (unlimited) and the main page (max 3 entries). It The headline is also more easy the article name where you write the news itself + links to jump into a section the source and the category (month). -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 20:58, 1 September 2006 (CEST) == Main picture of the main page ==Gryzor, why have you modified the photo of the main page with the ancient one ? If this wiki is related to continue cpc, i guess it's not only the discussion therecpc 464 and the whole cpc range is concerned. Time ..Almost the 464 photo seemd truncated and overlayed by a line. Longshot --[[User:195.154.167.66|195.154.167.66]] 14:53, 23 November 2006 (CET) You have reverted modification without any answer about my contrib here about that...I won't to waste time to update this picture again. Gryzor, you're the contributes main contributor of this site but i think your method is not fair, especially on a site built mainly by contributors.--[[User:Longshot|Longshot]] 13:17, 24 November 2006 (CET) : Well. I reverted it to the older version because I assumed there is something wrong with the image, that's all. For some reason the "range" photo won't appear, and I tried it fromt wo different computers and different browsers. Can you try reuploading the image under a new filename and changing the main page? Also, the 464 pic does appear fine for me - tried with Firefox, Opera, IE. As you can be moved into see it's not a matter of being 'unfair' - it's a technical issue, despite the fact that I like the 464 one better :):PS try to remember to log in before doing any changes.... :) [[TalkUser:Main Page/Archive1Gryzor|archiveGryzor]]19:36, 24 November 2006 (CET) ::Sorry for the misunderstanding. About the range photo it's strange because i've any problem with ie or firefox (my personal pc) or crazy browser on my professional pc. This picture is a scan i'd modified in 2001 and coming from my site. I've compressed the picture with a newer version of image ready from 53kb to 29.2 kb and i try to upload it again under a new name.
