While there are such few categories by now we should decide whether they should be in singular or plural now== Forum ==Today the [http://www. -- 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 replace every talk page, but it's good for general discussion topics :) [[User:YthcalGryzor|YthcalGryzor]] 1409:0806, 13 August 22 November 2006 (CESTCET)

==Languages and countriesSidebar links ==

Please remember: Languages and countries are written '''upper-case''' There is a little problem with the pages linked only in English (egthe sidebar: they only appear on the default mediawiki theme. '''G'''ermany, '''F'''rench)! -- ..There is a list here: [[Userspecial:Ythcal|Ythcallonelypages]] 17Link them from somewhere else :24, 14 August 2006 (CEST)

Do very small "stubs" make sense? I think not, as it's just disappointing to watch them. I tried to extend a lot of stubs, but again people are inserting useless 3 word entries - have a look at "short ::There is still 14 orphaned pages". It shouldn't be the goal to have as many senseless 3 word articles as possible but to create interesting information. What do you think?: I think its necessarry to have such ages to have things in mind . and to have i prefer using another theme because i use a chance that someone can re-edit the page in knowing, its being there, instead of not remembering thingsbrowser without css support... Sometimes it And what is very helpfull for me to find a short description about a group, a module or something the difference between [[Applications]] and if i remember more i'll write it down.Utilities ?:: :You are right, I also agree will move the Utilities to Kangaroo, it's good the Apps and mark them to have already an entry, so that we will not forget this subject. But we should add a new category "stubs", so that it's more easy to find these articlesbe deleted! -- [[User:ProdatronOctoate|ProdatronOctoate]] 1510:0813, 25 11 August 2006 (CEST)

== FutureOS Search ==

Could anybody lock As I still don´t understand why we have two search windows I repeat the FutureOS article in it´s current versionquestion if we really need them both? I just see ;-) --[[User:Villain|Villain]] 17:08, 28 August 2006 (CEST):Yup. The second one (the beginning top one) was added when the sidebar was so tall that the lower search field was out of something the screen. Now the sidebar is too short, but I´m sure how it will endprobably grow again.... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 18:22, 28 August 2006 (CEST): Done: hey. Please provide sources . 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 informationHJT]]:::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 want to change anything. I also removed the last sentence but: REMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second Search-Field --[[User:Villain|Villain]] 21:09, 28 August 2006 ("four new features in six years"CEST)::::Ok, as it could be negatively interpreted. Please do have noticed the discussion inside Wink with the articles talk page. Zaunpfahl :-) and i will do my job tomorrow, if i find time :- ):::::Ok, I removed it. Happy, y'all? :) [[User:ProdatronGryzor|ProdatronGryzor]] 1820:4400, 25 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)

== Category "News" Mainpage and Sidebar ==

If TBH I like Gryzors rollback of the sidebar, as all the 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, 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) :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) :::"Software-Programming" is your last visible entry? 8-O Maybe you choosed a font size of 300% and installed the Google, 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]] 20:26, 29 August 2006 (CEST) :::: 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) ::The reason I rolled it back to add a more expanded list (though I condensed the news 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) ::: 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?? [[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 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 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) == 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 categories page now - we should avoid naming improve this page, that nearly all articels can be found there directly or indirectly.Regarding the news new main page maybe we can add even more sections like "article with of the month"Newsor something like this. -- [[User:" as prefixProdatron|Prodatron]] 02:40, because 1 September 2006 (CEST) :Great. I like the new 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 category listing everything 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 to the news (max 10 entries), the news archive (unlimited) and the main page (max 3 entries). The headline is the article name where you write the news itself + links to 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 cpc, i guess it's not only the cpc 464 and the whole cpc range is concerned...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 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 letter main page? Also, the 464 pic does appear fine for me - tried with Firefox, Opera, IE. As you can see it'Ns 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. The same ... :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 19:36, 24 November 2006 (CET) ::Sorry for the misunderstanding. About the range photo it's strange because i've any problem occurs with programming articles ie or firefox (prefix "Programmingmy 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. Please let me know if the problem occurs again...--[[User:"Longshot|Longshot]] 11:46, 26 November 2006 (CET) ::: It appears ok now, but I scaled the thumbnail down a bit because it was a big too big. .. thanks![[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 18:11, 26 November 2006 (CET) == CPC taking a day off == Is the CPC still in vacation? ;-) Maybe we should could remove the prefix from this articlespicture, to make the info boxes below accessible in a better way again. Are maybe someone has an idea for an other cool frontpage motive? --[[User:OctoateProdatron|OctoateProdatron]] 1022:1236, 28 August 2006 18 September 2007 (CEST)
