| − | == Support Vehicles ==
| |
| − | Hi Wrangler,<br>
| |
| − | I've done some fiddling with templates before, but I don't know a lot about support vehicles. If you can give me a list of changes/additions that're needed to the support vehicle template, I'm willing to try updating the template. [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 23:37, 6 May 2015 (PDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Thanks to BrokenMnemonic for getting to this. I meant to but it got lost in the shuffle. One question: Should the '''Equipment and Capacities''' header read '''Equipment and Capabilities''' instead? (I don't understand why it has Capacities in there.)--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]]<sup>([[User_talk:Mbear|talk]])</sup>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::Yes, '''Equipment and Capabilities''' is how it's suppose to be. I sort of grammar blind at times on certain words, that unfortunately ones of them. Thanks you guys! BrokenMnemonic, that only needed (for the infobox) that's missing is the the fuel information line you find in the Aerospace Fighter template and Equipment list i suggested which is something unique for support vehicles. Example a Naval Support Vehicles lousy way to explain a Aircraft Carrier, it need Helipads, and other items, i'd like to have those listed like the weapons. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] ([[User talk:Wrangler|talk]]) 04:46, 8 May 2015 (PDT)
| |
| − | :::Hey BrokenMnemonic, another thing you should look into adding is look at previous Support Vehicle articles. I've had to improvise in someone some of them due to limitations and at time editors able edit the infobox at the time. If additional feature could be added to the infobox if within your abilities to do so, can you make it so the line item listed if left blank disappears? This is done in the past for some of the infoboxes, question marks are usually left in place so the line remains so the editor may choose use it or know it's there. Some features in Support Vehicles have space capacities for or the Length of vehicle for example. I can't remember them all, but the older ones had unique features. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] ([[User talk:Wrangler|talk]]) 06:36, 8 May 2015 (PDT)
| |
| − | ::::I'm not overly familiar with support vehicles - can you give me an example of one of each type that I can dig out of the TROs to look at, so that I can try and make the optional fields as comprehensive as possible? [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 14:29, 8 May 2015 (PDT)
| |
| − | :::::OK, I did some work on this today. I've updated the template documentation to include fields that had been added to the template infobox but not documented (production date, reference year, comsys, T&T). I added a number of new optional fields that I thought could be useful based on a read through of the Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex. These new fields include a power plant type (so you could put 210 Vox under Power Plant, and then Fusion under Power Plant Type, for example - or 180 under Power Plant, and the ICE under Power Plant Type, should you wish), Fire Control System (so that you can note if somehting has the Advanced Fire Control upgrade), Turret (for any turrets), Fitted Equipment (so that you can list things like Bridgelayers, Lift Hoists, Backhoes, Bulldozers, etc, just as you can currently with Armaments, directly in the infobox) and BAR, so that you can list the armour type under Armor (Standard, Heavy Commercial, Commercial, etc) and then have the BAR rating listed on a seperate line.
| |
| − | :::::I've left the Speed and Top Speed fields in, but made them optional, and I've inserted Cruise Speed and Flank Speed for ground vehicles/hover vehicles/WiGE vehicles and the like, as well as adding Safe Thrust and Max Thrust for conventional aircraft, airships and the like. This means that you can make the speed categories on each page reflective of the unit type, as the TRO does, rather than having to use the generic speed fields.
| |
| − | :::::I've also updated the template documentation and the help article to add in the Design Quirks section and to highlight that it's the Bibliography section that needs updating, not the References section, which should update automatically.
| |
| − | :::::I did some testing of the article with the Prometheus to try and make sure everything works. Can you try using the template and let me know if it's suitable? I tried to ensure that any of the units from the TRO:VA could work with it, in the hope that if it works with that TRO, it should work with everything. [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 02:24, 11 May 2015 (PDT)
| |
| − | ::Hey, Broken. I'll go and do article today if i have time. My work usually slow at times, but today isn't one of those slow days. I'll see i can start working on test article. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] ([[User talk:Wrangler|talk]]) 09:18, 11 May 2015 (PDT)

| − | ::Only in ones that are Exoskeleton or Light Power Armor PAL. Regular Battle Armor doesn't get a Equipment Rating. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] ([[User talk:Wrangler|talk]]) 05:03, 12 May 2015 (PDT)

| − | == Combat Vehicle Tech Base ==
| |
| − | Hi Wrangler, I saw your comment and went to have a look at the combat vehicle infobox template. It turns out the Tech Base field was already in place in the template, but it hadn't been added to the documentation, so I've updated both the template help file and the article writing help file accordingly. I also added the field to the [[Strix]] article so that you can see the formatting needed. Hope that helps!

| − | == Neat feature of wiki linking on Sarna ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wrangler,
| |
| − | | |
| − | I just did a couple tweaks to the Castrum page, and I wanted to let you know about something that I just found. If you have a plural that just adds an "s" to the end of a link, you can just put the "s" outside the link and Sarna will correctly add it as part of the link.
| |

| − | Since it's easier to show than to describe, here's an example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>
| |
| − | [[Large Laser]]s
| |
| − | </nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | renders as: [[Large Laser]]s. So you don't need to write <nowiki>[[Large Laser|Large Lasers]]</nowiki>. (Unless you really want to. ;))--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]]<sup>([[User_talk:Mbear|talk]])</sup> 07:09, 14 May 2015 (PDT)
| |
| − | :The only thing to watch is that this won't work if you have a punctuation character in the way - so if it's a possessive, like Kai Alliard-Liao's, you can't simply add the "'s", because the apostrophe breaks the link, and you get [[Kai Allard-Liao]]'s. That's the only time I've found it doesn't work, though. [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 07:12, 14 May 2015 (PDT)

| − | :::I've seen this in the past, but i noticed it doesn't do it all the time. I'm not sure why. Thats why stick the old system of doing it. Thanks for FYI. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] ([[User talk:Wrangler|talk]]) 09:09, 15 May 2015 (PDT)

| − | ::I believe Past Tence is the best, unless Battletech stops moving towards the future with no years. It should be viewed if this was the past. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] ([[User talk:Wrangler|talk]]) 10:53, 24 May 2015 (PDT)

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Okay, so you wanted to add an item to the list of all XTROs, right? To do that, when you are editing a page with <nowiki> {{XTROList}} </nowiki> on it, simply go to edit, then to the bottom where it says "Templates used on this page" and click on the one you want. In this case, here is where you can edit the [http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Template:XTROList XTROList]. Things inside the <nowiki>{{ }}</nowiki> brackets are templates, so that may help you find them in the future. I fixed the [[history]] page; it's perfectly okay. {{emoticon| ;) }} -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 20:09, 7 June 2015 (PDT)

| − | == Second Ghost Bear War ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wrangler - regarding this article - great start! Question though - regarding unit names, i thought we were spelling them out now?

[[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 11:00, 26 June 2015 (PDT)
| |
| − | ::A over sight by me. The article was very daunting to write for me, taking me weeks write up properly. I'm still tying faction military commands into the war. I'll fix that. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] ([[User talk:Wrangler|talk]]) 13:06, 26 June 2015 (PDT)
| |
| − | :::Also it should be noted, i'm following what the book's use in the way they spell out the names. Anything that in like hundred bracket, like 140th Strike Cluster (Clan Ghost Bear) for instance, i keep it numbered due to book uses numbers instead of spelling it out. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] ([[User talk:Wrangler|talk]]) 13:09, 26 June 2015 (PDT)
