Background Images
Please feel free to submit a new background image for the wiki here. Just post a link to the image and we can take a look. Please do NOT upload the image to the wiki yet, as only images that are used should be uploaded.

Wiki Theme
Need to request a change to the Wiki's theme? Something displaying funny (note: overlapping images are a problem with the image size, and not the theme. Please resize the image or reposition them. Thumbnails are recommended)? Report any problems or changes you would like to request on this page, and they will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

 * PS: Anyone who posts here saying "first" will make me copy and paste a thousand lines of code.

The wiki provides an interface for adding images specifically for user profiles. Since images specifically for user profiles are prohibited, this feature should probably be turned off as to reduce confusion as well as you from having to delete user's uploaded images.
 * Also, how do you add a profile image via a link?

dear Hofmic, dont delete stuff that isnt properly formatted, either fix it so it looks good or leave it, the idiea of a wiki is to CONTRIBRUTE!, not delete thanks

I dont care what you think, there were placeholders not because content were needing, but because i were TOO BUSY to add anymore, i have content the problem is TIME, so before you decide to walk in and ruin other peoples stuff i suggest you try being a little more conservative.

main-page
hi Hofmic,

i made some changes which need some changes on the main-page:
 * "Installing Glest" is now a redirect to "getting glest" so you can delete the link in the general-block
 * in the general-block there a 2 links to Configuration, pls delete one
 * could you bring the general-block in proper order, like: getting glest, configuration, getting started, troubleshooting, helping glest (in the rest inbetween as it fits ;)

also the links to GAE and MG should be more prominent on the main-page, at least they should be 1st in the developement-block, better in the general-block.

thx olaus


 * hi
 * my idea of ordering was that's for a newbie who 1st want's to read what glest is at all (about glest), then wan't to install it (installing glest) -> getting started -> configuration -> troubleshooting, ...


 * arguing by numbers i would put MG above GAE: http://sourceforge.net/search/?q=glest, anyway in the left column. people read multiple columns top->bottom, not left->right.

Double Redirects
Oops, I forgot that time. Thanks for fixing it! I usually remember to fix it though ;)

Background Image
Omega, the background image you uploaded is now shown while editing. Now this isn't too bad, but the only thing is that it is a BIT hard ot see while editing...Is this how it is supposed to be? Ultifd 05:40, February 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK it is fine now. Nah, the rich text editor is actually pretty useful at times. Maybe just not for pros ;) Also, yes I understand all of those things, I was just in a hurry to reply because I was/am doing some major changes to the tilesets list page... I've got common sense, after all ;)

Linking compile info
Hi Hofmic. The reason I linked is because data that isn't automatically duplicated will eventually become inconsistent no matter how careful we are. Whether easy or hard it is still extra work that we don't need to worry about with one location. The trac wiki is closer to the code so I think that is a better place for it.

Keymap Page
Thanks for fixing the GAE keymap page. It looks better now. Hailstone3 08:01, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

To separate or not to separate
You've never seen the Japanese page then, I guess?

Omega, the way I do is for others so they don't have to spend as much time on the pages. Don't you understand that? They don't have that much time and I don't either.

Ultifd 00:43, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I'm sorry but I don't think I can do it either. Spending the time to create tables and upload pics takes a lot of time for me already.

Ultifd 01:19, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Omega, the fact is that they won't do it. Even if I create the simple list they usually won't do it. Creating tables are the best way because it gives them a format and it's way faster and more convient.

Ultifd 01:26, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Nope. One unit page doesn't equal the 10 or 20 other unit pages. And, it would waste the person who spent time to create the tables. Why ya hating on tables? Tables are basically just for basic info. Everyone else seems to be OK with them...

Ultifd 01:31, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Omega, that's kinda the deal already. Cept no one is creating tables too.

Ultifd 01:47, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

First of of, it's not that much harder. Second of all, it's helpful to me. Try asking every single person on the glest forums, if you think it's really unneccsary or something. Zoythrus and Hagekura didn't seem to complain, so...

Ultifd 01:55, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

It's also helpful when people need to state some units are MG or GAE only. Kinda. Whenever people want to port their GAE mods for publicity, I mean.

Ultifd 01:58, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

About those unit pics
well, those unit pics that i recently added are not the ingame build pics. we're still using the ones that were "too small," because they are the perfect size for build pics.

and besides, i didnt think that a name like Raiden_pic.png would mess up Linux users that browsed this wiki....
