| − | ==Individual Warship articles: Categories==
| |
| − | ''(copy from BrokenMnemonic's talk page)''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hi BrokenMnemonic, finally got some time to look into your articles and there's two points I'd like to raise with you:<br />1. WarShips aren't JumpShips as far as categorization is concerned. The five major categories for individual hulls are WarShip, JumpShip, DropShip, Small Craft, and Installation. In this sense, JumpShips are (only) civilian JumpShip designs with a standard KF core; WarShips don't fall into the JumpShip category.<br />2. Please add the appropriate category (e.g. <nowiki>[[Category:Individual Destroyers]])</nowiki> to articles where the ship's type is known. Similarly and on top of this, please add the appropriate category (e.g. <nowiki>[[Category:Individual Suffren-class vessels]])</nowiki> to articles where the class is known. In this way, I'd like to mirror the categories tree established for classes. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 11:51, 19 January 2013 (PST)

| − | :1 - Done.
| |
| − | :2 - Done.
| |
| − | :A couple of things came out of my categorisation spree earlier that you may wish to take a view on.
| |
| − | :*Not all WarShip types are categorised - the ''[[Volga]]'', ''[[Potemkin]]'' and ''[[Faslane]]'' were all missing classes. I used the definitions within the [[WarShip classifications]] page to categorise them as a transport, a cruiser and a Yard-Ship respectively, but you may wish to correct that if I got it wrong.
| |
| − | :*You may wish to choose to have light and heavy cruiser become subcategories of the cruiser category; looking at the classifications page, some of the lightest cruisers are described as heavy cruisers, while some cruisers such as the Potemkin are either simply described as "cruiser" or a weird subdivision such as "transport cruiser." When it comes to describing vessels narratively, the writers often seem to simply use "cruiser" - the [[Havana|SLS ''Havana'']] is an example of that. This might require tagging a lot of vessels as both a cruiser and a subdivision, or you could take the view that cruiser is used when that's the only description and is a less accurate category to be improved if information is available.
| |
| − | :You've not commented on whether the names of the ''[[Minotaur]]'' and ''[[Lakshmi]]'' are correct or not, so I've assumed for now that they are, and added the ''Minotaur'' to the ''[[Aegis]]'' page as the SLS ''Minotaur'', rather than as the THS ''Minotaur'' quoted on the CGL forum review. [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 03:03, 20 January 2013 (PST)
| |
| − | ::You rule, man! Thanks! The Cruiser designation is sort of a catch-all designation really, and WarShip classification is wonky anyways. I wouldn't want to categorize beyond Cruiser, especially given that the Cruiser sub-classes typically have only a handful classes in them and thus aren't worth differentiating anyways (heavy, light, battle, troop, pursuit cruisers and maybe a couple more; not aware of any particular class referred to as "transport cruiser" though - the ''Potemkin'' is called a "troop cruiser"). Similarly, I feel we don't need categories for YardShips or transport WarShips. But it doesn't hurt either. Nothing to "correct" here.
| |
| − | ::As for The Theseus Knot, I have the print edition of the ''[[Weapons Free]]'' anthology before me and am working it down story by story. Theseus Knot is upcoming. Reading it over, I gather the SLS ''Minotaur'' is a refitted ''Aegis'' and the FSS ''Klingenthal'' a new ''Congress''. No quick ID of the ''Lakshmi'' beyond that it was the former command of the ''Minotaur'''s CO, i.e. apparently a SLS ship.

| − | :::OK, the system is working so far. ''Davion'' and ''Lola'' class vessels are going to be a pain, because they consist of discrete blocks (I and II for the ''Davion'', I, II and III for the ''Lola'') in article terms, but the texts often don't specify which block a ship came from - that's a problem with ships like the [[Charles Davion (Vessel)|FSS ''Charles Davion'']].
| |
| − | :::The system is allowing for ships that we weren't previously tracking to be loaded into the wiki, though. A case in point is the [[Lucien Davion (Vessel)|FSS ''Lucien Davion'']], which couldn't be easily recorded before because it had no class information - the same goes for the [[Havana|SLS ''Havana'']] and the [[Dularam|SLS ''Dularam'']]. It's a little bit of a pain to have to pipe the ship names so that they show up in the correct format, but considerably less of a pain now than it used to be, where I was having to pipe in the name of the class and the sub-link to the Named Vessels section to link to a ship name accurately.
| |
| − | :::It's also making the WarShip class articles look a little tidier, in my opinion - you can see the difference if you look at something like the Com Guard subsection of the ''[[Essex]]'' page compared to the other subsections.

| − | ::Hi Revanche, thank you for dropping by say hi. I've been lurking about, but i've not been able to really apply myself due to time restrains i have to be online. After seeing alot skilled editors coming on and editing things, i thought wasn't quite needed. They're so fast these days. I heard you were gone for while, i hope your life is gotten better. I'm still going limit myself small unpopular subject articles since i don't think i'm encrouching on anyone's turf. I'm not so crazy about individual Warship articles, i think their getting bit sprawling since there not many individual ships need full write in my opinion. Anyways, I hope try contribute more, but i can't say for certain. Maybe as weekend thing. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] ([[User talk:Wrangler|talk]]) 13:25, 10 February 2013 (PST)

| − | ==Canon rollback==
| |
| − | Hi Wrangler, I rolled back your edit to [[Canon]]. You're actually correct in that MWO is not a canonical source (Herb expressly confirmed that in a chat when I asked him), but the quote on the Canon article is, well, a quote. Herb didn't mention MWO there because it didn't exist yet. Your edit read like putting words into his mouth. I think the (non-)canonicity of MWO in particular is made sufficiently clear in the game's own article, in the Canonicity section.

| − | ::So what do we do? There no source for hard canon facts to Pretty Baby's stats. There IS a Pretty Baby which is canon, but that notable pilot from TRO:3025, same pilot. But the Awesome has notations of being modified. It Still shouldn't be listed as Canon unit unless we have valid source with the Stats. I wasn't aware of your conversation with Herb when i did that edit. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] ([[User talk:Wrangler|talk]]) 04:44, 22 February 2013 (PST)
