* '''Adding templates:''' We should add some templates to mark articles for e.g. deletion. You can see the reason for the need for templates if you For older talks please have a look at the article about [[Beau Jolly]]. You can find examples for that kind of templates in the original wiki (httpTalk:Main_Page//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages).:Hmmm I'm not really sure what you mean... the Beau Jolly page is a harmless prank - at least I consider it so at this point. If and when the wiki gets bigger and to such a size that systematic patrolling is needed, then 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:GryzorArchive1|GryzorArchive]] 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 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 some idea? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 14:53, 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 is that I don't know how to create complex tables and boxes in wiki markup at the moment! :-( [[User:Nich|Nich]] 17:31, 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 to work. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 18:44, 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 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 I do place it there (before the closing tag), it breaks the whole wiki... darn. Will try to look into it. [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:32, 7 August 2006 (CEST)----
'''More Fileformats''' 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 DSK or whatever discussion system of the Wiki is not adequate... It is not meant to run replace every talk page, but it on an emulator or cpc.'s good for general discussion topics :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 09:06, 22 November 2006 (CET)
: More file extensions allowed now. You can actually upload zip, rar (preferred due to better compression), pdf and mp3 (for all those tape conversions!). Nevertheless, can't a manual be copied as txt? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 09:00, 6 August 2006 (CEST)----== Sidebar links ==
'''Real names There is a little problem with the pseudonym?''' Shall we add pages linked only in the real names to sidebar: they only appear on the scene-informations as we know it? Maybe it's very helpfull to add the real name to remember the personsdefault mediawiki theme. So in my case i will add "Kangaroo MusiQue (Thorsten Norman Mitschele). What do you think about that? .There is a list here: [[Userspecial:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJTlonelypages]] 09Link them from somewhere else :48, 5 August 2006 (CEST)
:Well:Ah yes, absolutely, why not? I mean, there's nothing stopping you doing so anyway, 're right and in general a real name I have noticed it myself - though I don't know why anyone would be welcome indeeduse some other theme, to go with I think this is the pseudonymbest by far :D Anyhow, I'm just waiting to move servers, when this is done I'll look after such details... Maybe a photo too thanks for pointing out!!! [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 10:03, 28 July 2006 (CDT)
::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)
'''Moving the search''' field a bit more to the top of the left menu will be nice, so its easier to search articles without scrolling around. Hope you can do that PLEAAAASE :-) [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 09:36, 5 August 2006 (CEST)== Search ==
:That would be nice - As I think it should be higherstill don´t understand why we have two search windows I repeat the question if we really need them both? ;-) --[[User:Villain|Villain]] 17:08, too28 August 2006 (CEST):Yup. The problem 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 istoo short, this has to do with the skinbut it will probably grow again.... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 18:22, and I28 August 2006 (CEST):: hey.. i'm not yet as comfortable with customising itjust waiting for someone who tells me..REMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second Search-Field and. if someone knows how. booom.. it will be gone :-D [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]]:::Hey Kanga, please step forwardREMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second search field! --[[User:GryzorOctoate|GryzorOctoate]] 1621:4804, 5 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)
I think it would be nice to have a menu link to technical documentation == Mainpage and sourcecode (routine collection) on the left side. You then can put articles like 'Hardware scrolling' in this categories... --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 15:14, 3 July 2006 (CDT)Sidebar ==
: That's a really good idea - it would TBH I like Gryzors rollback of the sidebar, as all the important main links should be nice mentioned there to be able to post source code herehave 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... --[[User:ChaRleyTroniC|ChaRleyTroniC]] 17:00, 3 July 2006 (CDT)
: Indeed itRegarding the main page, what's a nice idea, and I thought about redesigning it upon looking at a little bit in the source code provided over at way of most other Wikis like Wikipedia? The main page shouldn't contain the Zonecomplete site map. Will add a link when I get back from work :) like the style of Wikipedia much more. -- [[User:GryzorProdatron|GryzorProdatron]] 2216:3529, 3 July 29 August 2006 (CDTCEST)
: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 its possible to make you choosed a list font size of all software300% and installed the Google, Yahoo and MSN toolbars at the same time? ;-houses like Ocean)) My last entry is "Editing help", Alligata etcwell, with 1280x1024. Where Ok, the sidebar could be still optimized, maybe we can add some nice informations about those companies?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)
: You can actually add a link yourself. If you go into The [[Games]] section you can add a link about [[Software Houses]] and start adding::: Here at work I use 2560x1024, so there is no problem here. Maybe I will add it to the sidebar as well :use a smaller font size and buy some glasses for my notebook ;-) -- [[User:GryzorOctoate|GryzorOctoate]] 2210:3552, 3 July 30 August 2006 (CDTCEST)
----::The reason I rolled it back to a more expanded list (though I condensed the 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!
Why does :: Concerning the crap keep getting posted at main page, now, it should not be the bottom 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 main pageSidebar.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.. bloody spammers! [[User:ExecutionerGryzor|ExecutionerGryzor]]20:05, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
:Indeed:: Oh come on... I have noticed your work wich BAST)(you always get &" has modified the Sidebar again to it faster than me!), that really useless and I really thank you for that. This is what you get for allowing posts without registeringannoying list of unwanted links :-D Why dont use the mainpage AND the SEARCH to find content, but I think it's worth it continuing like this, at least for a whileinstead of adding things wild, unorganized and see how it goes... Thanks so much! useless to the sidebar?? [[User:GryzorKangaroo|GryzorKangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 0221:1649, 22 July 29 August 2006 (CDTCEST)
:::: 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)
Hi, if I add a JPG with the '|thumb' command, it doesn't show on the page (e.g. [[CPC Schneider International]]::::: =). What am I doing wrong? --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 0110:0252, 5 30 August 2006 (CEST)
::::I also think, that it´s useful to have some more things on the "thumb" feature is not working yetSidebar than before. But now it´s too much...

: I'm having troubles with the permissions on the server. The Wiki needs the image folder to be chmod'ed to 777, but some of the subfolders do not have full access yet. I'm trying to chmod all of them, but how do I make sure that the newly created ones will be 777? :::: Sounds good! -- [[User:GryzorProdatron|GryzorProdatron]] 0821:3858, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)

Is it better now? Btw, how can I clear the cache? -- [[User:KangarooProdatron|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJTProdatron]] 0922:2704, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
:::Problem solved indeed :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]] 1609:3849, 5 30 August 2006 (CEST)
----== New main page ==
I think it will be a good idea to do localisation. So i can add or translate Pages was so free and reorganized the complete main page into german, cause my english writing is not that good as needed for the usual "wikistyle". I'll do my bestSo the complete link list ("CPCWiki portal") has its own page now - we should improve this page, but hey.. there are a few users around wich cannot write nor read english, so it will that nearly all articels can be a help for themfound there directly or indirectly. What do you think about localisation? Regarding the new main page maybe we can add even more sections like "article of the month" or something like this. -- [[User:KangarooProdatron|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJTProdatron]] 0902:3140, 5 August 1 September 2006 (CEST)
: Great. I would be a little bit afraid, that this could split up our forces, as it is a lot additional work. Maybe people would start writing only in their native languages. Better to have an article in bad english (which can be corrected by other people) than having it only in a "local" language (which can't be read by other people). But that's just my opinionlike the new wikilike design. -- [[User:ProdatronOctoate|ProdatronOctoate]] 1309:1258, 5 August 1 September 2006 (CEST)
:: I have am pleased to hear that! We just need to take care about the same opinion like Prodatronup-to-dateness. It's much more work and both Wikis will be different. You can see As an example for that situation on , every one, who is inserting a new entry in the news section should also update the [http://wikimain page.gp2x.org GP2X Wiki] I would also like to suggest and this device has a much bigger userbase. I guess add some guidelines, which describe, what and how to add entries to the most common language should be used, so we should write greek.... aehm... english ;-)different sections in the main page to prevent uncontrolled growth. --[[User:OctoateProdatron|OctoateProdatron]] 1516:5724, 5 August 1 September 2006 (CEST)
: :: I like the new layout as well, it's meaningful and nicely put, although I think this was discussed beforeit 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 Iwill 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 ?

So I was thinking that maybe reverted it should be allowed as long as an english translation to the older version because I assumed there is providedsomething wrong with the image, that's all. In any caseFor some reason the "range" photo won't appear, maybe we can allow and I tried it with fromt wo different computers and different browsers. Can you try reuploading the provision that this willimage under a new filename and changing the main page? Also, eventuallythe 464 pic does appear fine for me - tried with Firefox, be translatedOpera, IE. But if we As you can see that no translations are done, then maybe it shouldn't continues 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... . :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 1619:3836, 5 August 24 November 2006 (CESTCET) :: Sorry for the misunderstanding.
