Revision as of 20:33, 14 October 2016

This is a list of tasks that other people have requested to be completed. Feel free to add something you want to be checked/done and others can then claim those.

To avoid that multiple people work at the same time at the same task you should claim tasks by answering to them. Also answer to a task to remove your claim if you aren't working on it anymore and want others to finish the task.

Use {{task|complete/claimed/pending/|optional message}} to show the task's status.

For saving the place, delete the sequence if the task is finished, and everyone is pleased with the result!

[Add a new task]

Version 1.0 release

With version 1.0 we need to do some stuff:

• Thrust is now depending on pressure not flow. {{Infobox/Part/FuelConsumption}} could become obsolete and {{Infobox/Part/Thrust}} should be verified and used in the relevant templates. Also {{Thrust}} should be checked. If it's like the other template it should be merged into that and then removed.
  • The {{Infobox/Part/Thrust}} is now working and in use. {{Infobox/Part/FuelConsumption}} is only used directly by {{Infobox/Part/jet engine}}. After that dependency is fixed, the page could be moved to {{Infobox/Part/consumption}}} and the variable fuel flow specific code could be removed (moving the page to verify that nothing is using that template then).
• Updating {{Parts}} and {{Stats Table…}}

Feel free to add additional point and cross out/delete handled points. — xZise [talk] 20:52, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

UPDATING

Updating some element:

Pictures

keep the original name, just update it!

Note: The picture updating is not possible now, due to migration problems!

• 

  some new part has arrived since... - Done

• 

  some new part has arrived since... - Done as well

• 

  still 0.25 - check if new version changed before update - if it has remained same: just report it!

• 

  New version needed - please, without background!

And a further note: is the claw docking port? NWM (talk) 06:07, 28 March 2015 (CDT)

Well it works similar to one but the image is used where only the docking ports are listed. And to be honest I think it doesn't belong there but that is only my personal preference.

Regarding the image I'd have three suggestions:

• Make it when the Sun is not so high so that there aren't so many shadows making the image so dark.
• Prevent as much background as possible (my version before had only the sky as background)
• Don't look directly at it. The difference between the two lateral docking ports (the ones in the top left) is marginal from that viewpoint. You don't really see that the lower one has the Mk2 shape.

Templates

New great projects

Cartography

• 

  high detail

• 

  informative

Some solution needed (as a template).

1. Insert-able high detail maps + translatable info-bars
2. Thumbnail/full detail appearance

This project also needs: high-detail colorful biome/elevation/(resource) maps

Translation/correction

Early Versions/fr translation

Translate this page to English and add link to Version history.

Authors/editors look for native speaker correctors

For English speaker:

• Tutorial:Learning basics of rocket building - a step by step tutorial, only the first section of the three is ready. NWM (talk) 09:13, 19 April 2015 (CDT)

Edited up to "Action Groups" — Bob Kerman(talk) 20:10, 5 May 2015 (PST)

Pictures needed

For .svg mages

Creating the more informative .svg version of some picture:

• 

  Exley maneuver

• 
• 

  (Maybe with a shorter name)

Make the texts correctable!

For "Orbit_Synchronization_how_to.png" - pictures by stages of the maneuver would be more preferable!

Questions - info needed

New Drag modell

Does anybody knows a reliable link about the new drag model for updating the atmosphere page?

4 Table mages

If somebody knows how to make a switch to hide some column in headers of the wings please help: make the dimensions hide-able with a {{{nodim}}} switch, and maybe an appear-able fuel capacity column can be added too!

Name change in Rockomax Mark 55 Radial Mount Liquid Engine

The name in the description changed in Rockomax Mark 55 Radial Mount Liquid Engine. Please determine in which version that was done and update the related pages (Rockomax Mark 55 Radial Mount Liquid Engine and Eumon Kerman) respectively and maybe create Eugene Kerman (or request a move of Eumon to Eugene Kerman).

Calculate version numbers

With {{Check version/ver}} and {{Check version/Rev}} it's possible to calculate version numbers now and templates like {{Infobox/Version}} could profit from it. For example getting the version after 0.23.5 one can do {{Check version/ver|{{#expr: {{Check version/Rev|0.23.5}} + 1}}}} and get 0.24. So it's possible to get the next and previous version numbers.

It only does support version numbers since 0.20.2, so both templates probably need to be extended to support prior versions. But at no point a specific revision number should be used so that is easier to change the numbers later when I miscounted and 0.20.2 wasn't the 38^th revision. — xZise [talk] 07:41, 12 March 2015 (CDT)

100 Million Views!

I would like a page for the upcoming 100 Million view mark, as it is important to the history of this website. For making a page about the 100 Million View Mark, people will understand how far and long this wiki has come. I suggest that you will put a link to this page on the Main Page.

One really isn't necessary. It would be more of a celebration for a site like Wikipedia, which seeks to inform the world, not some game wiki. Mr. Spink ^{talk★contribs} 02:16, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

VisualEditor

I don't know where else I could post this so I'm doing it here. I suggest adding the VisualEditor MediaWiki extension. That would make it easier for new users that aren't familiar with the syntax to contribute to the wiki. Perhaps that increases the contribution rate. Sn0w man (talk) 10:42, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

planets orbital and physical characteristics outdated

In version 1.2, the values of the gravitational constant and the standard gravity have been updated. As a result of this, several numbers stated on this wiki are outdated, such as orbital periods, solar days and the properties of synchronous orbits. It appears that the sidereal rotation periods of Kerbin, Mun and Ike are changed as well to keep a solar day on Kerbin exactly 21600 seconds and to keep Mun and Ike tidally locked. --Serpens Solidus (talk) 20:33, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
