Made some big changes by integrating a bit of css and deleteing a lot of stuff. Can't figure out how to make a css class whithin wiki markup, which caused some useless repetition.
Missing category display
I think there is one little thing missing in the current wiki-style: There is no display of the categories the viewed page is in. e.g Mods should have its category [[Category:Mods]] displayed, no? --Hoehrer
TO do something like that, you have to use a template. This is already working on a few of the mods pages. To put this template in, type {{Category:Mods}}, which would look like this:
|
This site is kept for historical reasons, all mods here are incompatible to the current spring engine, maybe they work with an older version of the Engine. |
- please use Category:Games if you search for playable games!
I think you are missing/missunderstanding my point (I'm no native speaker, oh well ;) ).... You can classify a wiki-page in mediawiki into several categories e.g. [[Category:TODO]] [[Category:Mods]] [[Category:Fixme]] In the default-style these categories are listed on the bottom of the page, so you can select them and get an overview of all pages in this category. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_programming_language as an example (on the bottom of the page is the "Categories" section) Doing a template with a cool formatting is a nice addition to this, but _seeing what categories are used_ is needed IMHO.
On a side note: does {{Category:xxx}} doesn't classify a page inside the xxx category. --Hoehrer 14:23, 20 Dec 2005 (W. Europe Standard Time)
I see what you mean now. Yes that would be a good thing to have. Ask Fnordia about it, he is the one that takes care of the wiki.
And no, adding a {{Template}} does not add that page into that catrgory, it just adds that page into the current page. --Maelstrom 05:51, 21 Dec 2005 (W. Europe Standard Time)
Ok, i'll contact Fnordia.
Template: I know, I actually wanted to write a declarative statement with that sentense, but messed it up with the leading "does" :) --Hoehrer
Updating the skin
The skin I based the spring skin from (Cologne blue) doesn't seem to show this information either unfortunately. I guess I will have to create a new one based on Monobook instead for that to work. I'll see what I can do.
That might not be neccessary. I don't know exactly, but by cut&paste-ing the "catlinks" related things from the monobook style this should work just fine (with some modifications of course) --Hoehrer
