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

 +
== Version 1.0 release ==
 +
With version 1.0 we need to do some stuff:
 +
* Thrust is now depending on pressure not flow. {{Tl|Infobox/Part/FuelConsumption}} could become obsolete and {{Tl|Infobox/Part/Thrust}} should be verified and used in the relevant templates. Also {{Tl|Thrust}} should be checked. If it's like the other template it should be merged into that and then removed.
 +
** The {{Tl|Infobox/Part/Thrust}} is now working and in use. {{Tl|Infobox/Part/FuelConsumption}} is only used directly by {{Tl|Infobox/Part/jet engine}}. After that dependency is fixed, the page could be moved to {{Tl|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 {{strikethrough|{{Tl|Parts}}}} and {{[http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Template%3AStats+Table&namespace=0 Stats Table]…}}
 +

And a further note: is the claw docking port? [[User:NWM|NWM]] ([[User talk: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.

I just made and translated the page as requested, only to find the info was already included in [[Version history]]. No work is needed on [[Early Versions]], it didn't even need to be made.

== Calculate version numbers ==
 +
With {{Tl|Check version/ver}} and {{Tl|Check version/Rev}} it's possible to calculate version numbers now and templates like {{Tl|Infobox/Version}} could profit from it. For example getting the version after 0.23.5 one can do <code style="white-space: nowrap;"><nowiki>{{Check version/ver|{{#expr: {{Check version/Rev|0.23.5}} + 1}}}}</nowiki></code> and get {{Check version/ver|{{#expr: {{Check version/Rev|0.23.5}} + 1}}}}. 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<sup>th</sup> revision. — [[User:XZise|xZise]] <small>&#91;[[User talk:XZise|talk]]&#93;</small> 07:41, 12 March 2015 (CDT)

In version 1.2, the values of the gravitational constant and the standard gravity [http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/147576-modders-notes-for-ksp-12/ 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. --[[User:Serpens Solidus|Serpens Solidus]] ([[User talk:Serpens Solidus|talk]]) 20:33, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

The old "Reaction engine" article is moving to [[Rocket engine]]. It's had the same old v0.17 LV-T30 engine image since... long ago. It would be nice to arrange all the non-aspirated engines together on the Launch Pad -- liquid fuel, SRB, RCS, and ion -- and take a "family photo". Maybe with Jeb, if he can manage not to break anything. Currently I'm without a gaming computer, and I was sad to find I don't have the screenshot I'd previously taken. But there are new engines since then anyway! --[[User:Brendan|Brendan]] ([[User talk:Brendan|talk]]) 15:10, 5 March 2015 (CST)

::Looking into it, they satisfy the requirement of using only onboard propellant, but I'd overlooked that rocket engines are jet engines -- they form a high-speed jet of exhaust gases.

This is a list of tasks that you can help contribute to this wiki.

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:

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!

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

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

This task is in progress. You can join this task at any time.

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

I just made and translated the page as requested, only to find the info was already included in Version history. No work is needed on Early Versions, it didn't even need to be made. Rather, Early Versions/fr needs to be combined with Version history/fr and Early Versions/fr deleted. Also, there's already Early versions, but the title isn't capitalized properly. Stuff's screwed up and I don't know how to fix it. Samuel010898a (talk) 15:15, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Pictures needed

For .svg mages

Creating the more informative .svg version of some picture:

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).

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 38th revision. — xZise [talk] 07:41, 12 March 2015 (CDT)
