: At the top level, I think we should categorize them the way that the game does -- according to tab in VAB. Beyond that we can separate them by subcategory, either with blank lines (the current approach, which means a lot of extra space) or with a different kind of character separator ("——", perhaps?). — [[User:Elembis|Elembis]] ([[User talk:Elembis|talk]]) 07:03, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

:: Perhaps we should look at having another page/table that categorises the parts by their practical use, like [[Parts]] does, or maybe have this table link to it. At the least, I think I prefer your idea or using a wide dash to separate the parts, rather then new lines. [[User:Thecoshman|Thecoshman]] ([[User talk:Thecoshman|talk]]) 08:57, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 +
 +
:::We definitely need to keep to the VAB categorization, using another one would only confuse newbies who come here to look things up. I'm still struggling with creating tables in a wiki but here's a little example of what I actually intended it to look like:
 +
:::{|
 +
|rowspan="2" valign="top" | '''Command Pods'''
 +
|| Cockpits || ''[[Mk1 Cockpit]] • [[Mk2 Cockpit]] • [[Mk3 Cockpit]]''
 +
|-
 +
|| Pods || ''[[Command Pod Mk1]] • [[Mk1-2 Command Pod]]''
 +
|}
 +
:::This solution does however still take up a lot of space. Considering the template is generally found at the very bottom of a page where it does not disturb the rest of the article, I still find it preferable to the mess we had before. The only way to find an entry in there was using Ctrl+F (so you could just have used the normal wiki search function instead). As for the "——" solution: We could of course try it, but I do not think it would clear up the arrangement very much --[[User:CookieCrunch|CookieCrunch]] ([[User talk:CookieCrunch|talk]]) 10:52, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 +
:::: I think I like this idea of yours, perhaps you could play around with suggestions at the bottom of this page, it would be better if we can work it out first, rather then changing the main one ever five seconds. I think taking up more space is ok, if it results in a more useful table. [[User:Thecoshman|Thecoshman]] ([[User talk:Thecoshman|talk]]) 11:58, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

== Proposal for rearranged table ==
 +
Here's my proposal for the rearrangement of the table. Does anybody know how to get all text to align to the top of the cells? I tried class="toptextcells" but couldn't get it to work. The "Miscellanous" subcategory could still need some work.

:This may be old, but it seems quite useful. It would certainly help to have labels for the subcategories, especially because of the constantly growing number of parts. --[[User:Dgelessus|dgelessus]] <sup>([[User talk:Dgelessus|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Dgelessus|logs]])</sup> 17:31, 7 June 2013 (CDT)

::Maybe this should be splited up into the different categories? Even the current box is huge.
 +
::So something like this:
 +

 +
<div style="background: #ccc; padding: .5em; text-align: center; font-size: large">[[Parts|Default parts]]</div>
 +

A recent change has put a lot of new lines and this is now taking up a lot more space, I think it was better before. [[User:Thecoshman|Thecoshman]] ([[User talk:Thecoshman|talk]]) 06:50, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I tried to tweak some css parameters to make the list a bit smaller (although it is still huge). I didn't used colors there, but may be added. You can find my test on [[User:XZise/Parts]]. It mostly simply removes a lot of whitespace. On [[User:XZise/test2]] I tried to place the title of the entry on the left, but I don't think this is that useful. But maybe somebody of you have an idea. — [[User:XZise|xZise]] <small>&#91;[[User talk:XZise|talk]]&#93;</small> 15:08, 16 August 2013 (CDT)

Revision as of 05:09, 29 October 2013

Divide into better catagoires

The parts are currently organised based on how they are selected in the game, I think it would be more manageable if it it was broken down into the following categories. If you don't agree with the categories I propose, suggest how you would like them to be ordered.

  • Command Pods
  • Liquid Fuel Tanks
  • Liquid Fuel Engines
  • Solid Rocket Boosters
  • Control Systems (things like RCS tanks and jets, ASAS units)
  • Wings (including the control surfaces etc)
  • Landing Gear (legs, wheels and perhaps parachutes)
  • Structural (struts, fuel pipes, staging units)
  • Miscellaneous (all the other stuff)

If the miscellaneous categort ever starts to get rather full, it should be looked at to see if a new category could be made, for instance when docking system get introduced. Thecoshman (talk) 10:56, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

At the top level, I think we should categorize them the way that the game does -- according to tab in VAB. Beyond that we can separate them by subcategory, either with blank lines (the current approach, which means a lot of extra space) or with a different kind of character separator ("——", perhaps?). — Elembis (talk) 07:03, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Perhaps we should look at having another page/table that categorises the parts by their practical use, like Parts does, or maybe have this table link to it. At the least, I think I prefer your idea or using a wide dash to separate the parts, rather then new lines. Thecoshman (talk) 08:57, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
We definitely need to keep to the VAB categorization, using another one would only confuse newbies who come here to look things up. I'm still struggling with creating tables in a wiki but here's a little example of what I actually intended it to look like:
Command Pods Cockpits Mk1 CockpitMk2 CockpitMk3 Cockpit
Pods Command Pod Mk1Mk1-2 Command Pod
This solution does however still take up a lot of space. Considering the template is generally found at the very bottom of a page where it does not disturb the rest of the article, I still find it preferable to the mess we had before. The only way to find an entry in there was using Ctrl+F (so you could just have used the normal wiki search function instead). As for the "——" solution: We could of course try it, but I do not think it would clear up the arrangement very much --CookieCrunch (talk) 10:52, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
I think I like this idea of yours, perhaps you could play around with suggestions at the bottom of this page, it would be better if we can work it out first, rather then changing the main one ever five seconds. I think taking up more space is ok, if it results in a more useful table. Thecoshman (talk) 11:58, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Proposal for rearranged table

Here's my proposal for the rearrangement of the table. Does anybody know how to get all text to align to the top of the cells? I tried class="toptextcells" but couldn't get it to work. The "Miscellanous" subcategory could still need some work.

This may be old, but it seems quite useful. It would certainly help to have labels for the subcategories, especially because of the constantly growing number of parts. --dgelessus (talk · logs) 17:31, 7 June 2013 (CDT)
Maybe this should be splited up into the different categories? Even the current box is huge.
So something like this:
Default parts
Command ModulesPropulsionControl • …
SAS Modules Avionics PackageS.A.S ModuleAdvanced S.A.S ModuleAdvanced S.A.S Module, Large
RCS Thrusters Place-Anywhere 7 Linear RCS PortRV-105 RCS Thruster Block
Some of the categories have already their own page like Command Module. — xZise [talk] 11:51, 8 June 2013 (CDT)
So do you mean that there should be Template:Parts/Command Modules, /Propulsion, ...? Another possibility that I thought of would be another spoilerbox for each category, inside the main spoilerbox. --dgelessus (talk · logs) 16:14, 8 June 2013 (CDT)

recent change to grouping of items

A recent change has put a lot of new lines and this is now taking up a lot more space, I think it was better before. Thecoshman (talk) 06:50, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

What about adding some colors? No more poor #ccc color

Something like this(added color to subcategory too, so you can see where it ends):

Default parts

I think it's a good idea, but the colours should be brighter (more "cream") and warmer. Fifi (talk) 06:55, 8 August 2013 (CDT)
