Edit this box

Forum links have changed

Old was kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/, new is forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/, which leads to 404s on some links on this page. --Kreuzung (talk) 13:00, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

RoboJeb is set up to fix this. -- N3X15 ^{(C · T · E)} 22:58, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

CoolNavBoxes are out of date

Could we get an update? There are two new planets now, and I imagine people are being turned away if the wiki looks that outdated.

Guide for installing on Linux

I think a nice comprehensive guide that can detail how to get KSP running on Linux would be great. However, I am not sure if this wiki is suitable for it, it's not really about in-game stuff. I can't think of any better place for it though, and the wiki style format means that it can be kept up-to-date as things change or better/simpler methods surface.

Why wouldn't the wiki be the perfect place for it? The entire wiki is KSP-centric, so obviously it's about ingame stuff. If you take a look at Getting Started, you'll see that one also is a from-scratch-guide. It'd be perfectly valid to have an alternative "Getting started with Unix"-thread. --Senshi (talk) 08:30, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Updating planetrow

Hi, with Kerbol System I worked on an advanced template ({{BodyBox}}) which adds a little more space around the planets. And is it possible to lineup the background with the boxes above and below. An example with the new template:

Kerbol

Moho

Eve

Kerbin

Duna

Dres

Jool

Eeloo

Is it possible to make "if lang" support for this template for non-latin transliteration of names? --Vatnik (talk) 08:27, 23 March 2013 (CDT)

Using {{lang}} (I guess this template you are wanting to use) needs to be updating in {{Main Page Layout}} everytime a language is added, I guess it should be done like in {{Main Page Layout}} by using additional parameters like “kerbin-name“ so Main Page/ru then could change the name of the Planet by using the parameter. So {{Main Page Layout}} uses the upper templates in this way:

{| class="mp-planetnav" width="100%"
{{BodyBox
|image=TinyKerbol.png
|name={{{kerbol-name|Kerbol}}}
|size=S
}}
{{BodyBox
|image=TinyMoho.png
|name={{{moho-name|Moho}}}
}}
{{BodyBox
|image=TinyEve.png
|name={{{eve-name|Eve}}}
}}
{{BodyBox
|image=TinyKerbin.png
|name={{{kerbin-name|Kerbin}}}
}}
{{BodyBox
|image=TinyDuna.png
|name={{{duna-name|Duna}}}
}}
{{BodyBox
|image=TinyDres.png
|name={{{dres-name|Dres}}}
}}
{{BodyBox
|image=TinyJool.png
|name={{{jool-name|Jool}}}
}}
{{BodyBox
|image=TinyEeloo.png
|name={{{eeloo-name|Eeloo}}}
}}
|}

That will be good, thanks! Somebody, who have permission to do this, should update Main Page Layout template--Vatnik (talk) 20:46, 23 March 2013 (CDT)

Special:WantedPages behaving strangely

I've been looking through the wanted pages a bit and noticed very strange page links such as Minmus/bcc. When I look at the pages that supposedly link there (like Minmus) I can't find a link to that page anywhere, not even in the source. Any ideas where these links might be coming from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dgelessus (talk • contribs)

{{Languages}} tests all languages, and if a page for a language doesn't exists it will show up on the wanted pages. For example Kerbol/bcc is only linked from English, Swedish, Czech and Chinese while all other translations don't use the template. My suggestion would be, to use the templates if it is really required, as you can easily change the language on the left sidebar. Especially when the template is included at the end of the site. — xZise [talk] 14:56, 20 May 2013 (CDT)

Okay I removed all template usages in the main namespace (so the Kerbol example don't work anymore, and Category:Celestials don't work the same). — xZise [talk] 15:15, 20 May 2013 (CDT)
