| − | I figure it would help out if their was a central location for things that need to be done. To help best explain what I have in mind for this list, I figure I could just start it off. In terms of using it, if you just add an idea to the list and give a quick explanation of what you think it should be, then some one else can provide some feed back on it. If the idea get's some momentum, we can add it to the wiki, or perhaps move the discussion into it's own section on this talk page. Don't forget to sign your posts with four ~ in a row.

| − | * A page for part categories should be added. There is currently rather good documentation for each of the parts, but a lot of what they cover is duplicated. For instance, each of the liquid fuel tanks behave in more or less the same way, the only difference is the relative sizes and stat's. I think the individual pages, whilst small, should be kept as they can keep the more characterful description of the parts and details such as changes between versions. I envision a page that will provide a description of how to use the type of part along with (most importantly) a table that can be used to compare them, so you can sort of the thrust a rocket engine provides. or the dry weight of liquid fuel pods.

| − | * Consistent imagery. Again, whilst the work so far has been awesome for the individual parts, some sort of guide line should be put in place for the part images. Some of the images have the part on its own in what appears to be some sort of model viewer, and I think this is the best solution. Having the image for the part on a vehicle can make it hard to see what the part actually is. We might also want to consider some sort of guidelines as to the minimum size the image should be.

| − | * A guidelines page. As you can see, I might have a bit of a thing for guidelines, but it can really help improve the quality of the wiki. I would also stress that I am saying guidelines and not rules, there is no need to be really strict, it's all a bit of fun at the end of the day.

| − | I think the removal of the main image was a big mistake. It really helped anchor this as the main page. [[User:Thecoshman|Thecoshman]] ([[User talk:Thecoshman|talk]]) 08:09, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

| − | * Personally I thought the logo was way too big and served no purpose other than pushing everything else down the page. I think it would be appropriate to keep it somewhere on the page (maybe centered above the planets?), albeit much smaller.--[[User:Craigmt1|Craigmt1]] ([[User talk:Craigmt1|talk]]) 18:58, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

| − | == Important Articles ==
| |
| − | I would like to nominate [[Orbital and physics terms]] for inclusion on the main page, or at least to be linked to from one of the top-level pages. It's a great article for newbies to read to familiarize themselves with the lingo before moving onto the more advanced stuff. --[[User:Entroper|Entroper]] ([[User talk:Entroper|talk]]) 02:05, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

| − | == How the handle the demo version == | |
| − | | |
| − | Currently the items that exist in the demo version get a second page dedicated to covering them, which to me seems like needless repetition. I think the better way is to simply have the one page that covers the part as it is in the current version, then have a section towards the end that can summarise how the part differs for the demo version. Most of the differences can be seen in the change log at the bottom of each part page anyway. This approach can even be used for the removed command pod, keep a an up-to-date page that covers how it changed up the final version it was included, but don't make a huge fuss about the fact that it is only a demo part.

| − | == Version-specific disclaimers ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Instead of having to say "as of version 0.17" everywhere, can we just assume that statements refer to the latest version and will be updated when needed? Otherwise, when 0.18 comes out, it seems like we'd need to replace every occurrence of "as of version 0.17" with "as of version 0.18", and that would just get ridiculous. — [[User:Elembis|Elembis]] ([[User talk:Elembis|talk]]) 23:55, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

| − | : That seems reasonable. -- [[User:N3X15|N3X15]] ([[User talk:N3X15|talk]]) 23:57, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

| − | :: This some what ties together to the notion that 'Demo' versions of parts should not have separate articles, that they should just be part of the main article and with notes about how they differ in the demo version.

| − | Can we adopt [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style Wikipedia's manual of style] as our own? — [[User:Elembis|Elembis]] ([[User talk:Elembis|talk]]) 19:02, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

| − | : This makes sense to me, I would assume we want to aim for a quality wiki. That said, I would be careful with sticking to the 'rules' too strictly, after all we should aim to cater for a 'tounge in cheeck' approach, fitting in with the comedy style of the game it self.

| − | == Adding new namespaces ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is something that will require admin attention. Would it be possible for the 'Tutorials' namespace to be properly added to the system. It would also be usefully if there was a namespace along the line of 'API' or 'DevDocs'. Instructions on how to do this can be found [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Using_custom_namespaces here].
