| − | ==Magazine articles==
| |
| − | Hi Nic, I'd like to create a page for Magazine content related to the battletech CCG I made: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/BattleTech_Trading_Card_Game/Magazine_Content I'd like to put up ads like this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByRmfoW4q1ZkZWxyVXpvaFBxMnM Or articles like this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByRmfoW4q1ZkVy1MN1ZvdTA3czA Primarily from magazines like duelist, scrye, inquest etc. Where would these fall under copyright rules?

| − | :Those links you gave don't seem to work. Anyways, about copyright: You cannot copy text verbatim to Sarna articles if somebody else has a copyright to that text. Also, Sarna doesn't seek to publish stuff; instead, this wiki has articles ''about'' publications (see also [[Policy:Fanon]]).<br />That said, just be bold, go ahead and create the article. If there's a problem, chances are somebody will help you out.<br />(I've taken the liberty to answer since Nic didn't yet. Hope that's okay.)

| − | :Not really a technical problem, but I note the "This page has been visited X times" note at the bottom of each page is gone. I felt it was useful to see how many visits individual pages got over time, to gauge their impact and relevance. If it's an easy fix then I would like to have the counter back. If not, no sweat.

| − | == Hyperlinks and Quotes ==
| |
| − | Nic,<br>
| |
| − | I've spotted something weird going on with how links are handled, which I think may be an issue between how or what Sarna views as a hyperlink and the addresses of pages and messages on the Catalyst Game Labs forum. I often check things I think may be errata in the official Ask The Writers forum to get a ruling, and when I do, I record the response via the Quote function here on Sarna, like this:<br>
| |
| − | {{Quote|It is correct. Between 3072 and 3074, the Vipers salvaged the Conquest and utilize her at Tanis in some capacity.|[http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,28150.msg643897.html#msg643897 GhostBear (Ben Rome), BattleTech Assistant Line Developer, 28 Mar 2013]}}
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | Now, when I try and do the same thing, the tag including the hyperlink and message details part doesn't work:<br>
| |
| − | {{Quote|Total Chaos trumps JTP:D.|[http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=51654.0 GhostBear (Ben Rome), BattleTech Assistant Line Developer, 16 Mar 2016]}}
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | The Quote tag is set up in exactly the same way, and from poking it and trying a couple of dozen different variations, the bit it doesn't like is the hyperlink: http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=51654.0 - I'm not sure how that's mechanically different to any of the other hyperlinks, but I tried linking to the specific message:<br>

| − | :In this case, it looks like the <code>?</code> in the second and third URL are causing issues *within* the <code><nowiki>{{Quote}}</nowiki></code> object.

Hi BM, When you found time, please take a look on the BattleMech Timetable, Combat Vehicle Timetable, when i go to the year link in the infobox as example Templar it brings me to the site but the 'mech or vehicle is not listed in the table, why who is the failur!?--Doneve (talk) 10:27, 10 May 2016 (PDT)
Hi Doneve,
I don't understand how the semantic mediawiki stuff works, I'm afraid. I've had a look, and I've tried tweaking the Templar file, but I can't see why the code isn't working. I had a look at the WarShip Timetable page, which I know was working, and it's now not working either. I can't see any differences between the article pages that've made it onto the list and those that haven't. This might be a question for Nic, as he installed the mediawiki stuff, unless there's someone else who understands it? I don't know enough to work out what's going on.--BrokenMnemonic
- Nic please can you look inside why the Timetables dont work, thanks.--Doneve (talk) 01:43, 11 May 2016 (PDT)
