Edit this box

planed features changes

both the massive parts and the astaroids are confermed by harvisteR in that streem, he says that astaroids will be in the main game, but other things that include the nasa pack will be separate, i will post a better link to the stream in a second. i actually took the geysers from a post on gas planet 2. also look at today's dev note it confirms everything — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krona (talkcontribs) 03:15, 19 February 2014‎ (UTC)

Interwiki table - KSP-fr wiki

Hi xZise,
Can you add a new row in the interwiki table ?

Prefix
kspfrw
URL
http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.fr/index.php/$1

Thank you in advance,
Mowaw[talk], October 15, 2014 (14:23)

Response

Still learning wikitext. I hope this is an appropriate way to respond to your comments.

I just discovered another way to do it that involves anchors and tables, and, once implemented, should clean up the table of contents by a huge amount. Thanks for the push-back against the huge list, as I was just going to leave it as is, but your comments have motivated me to learn a little more about wikitext in order to clean it up (which I really wanted to do from the get-go, I just didn't know how). Look forward to seeing changes slowly and steadily whittle that TOC down!

Page combinations

As you can see, I am in the process of cleaning it up. I'd also like to have the original page that I created [Configuration File Details] deleted, but I'm not sure how to do that. As to a quick and dirty edit, well, you have it quite correct there. I discovered (re-discovered?) the link that is on the main page, and rather than learn how to do redirects or disambiguations or whatever, I appended mine to his. I'm in the process of cleaning it all up (70k can take awhile!), but I'm sure that if you've been keeping an eye open, you've already seen some of the massive improvements over what was there before, especially in the Table of Contents!

Infobox nextToIcon

Hi xZise, Your modifications on Infobox template are good, but there's a problem when a subtitle is present (eg 0.90). &#151; Mowaw (talk) - 18:46, 12 January 2015 UTC +1

Objectivity response

Hi xZise

Thanks for the valuable feed back

Check out what I said in Category:Found lying by the side of the road/de!

--Kwman (talk) 17:35, 10 February 2015 (CST)

One problem is using the I perspective. When you think something state it vaguely or similar but don't say “I don't know it” because it's hard to determine who “I” is then. And using a username isn't that good either and that should be discussed then on the talk page (that you think it's so).
Now the other problem is … it's not in German ;) — xZise [talk] 17:50, 10 February 2015 (CST)

Hi again

Heres the PROPER LINK! (User:talk)

No it's "User talk:<username>" like the name of this page. You can sign your posts automatically by writing --~~~~ or by clicking on the pen in bar above. It will then link to your actual talk page (remember I contacted you there so there should be something): User talk:KWman. — xZise [talk] 05:15, 13 February 2015 (CST)

New Demo?

The differences between the demo and the paid version become so great, that is easier to make a separate "tutorial:how to make a rocket (demo)" than break the main page with perpetual notes about demo. Do you know anything about any new demo version arrival? NWM (talk) 04:33, 25 March 2015 (CDT)

What do you mean with main page? On Main Page I can't see any link, but if I should move something tell me and I'll take a look. And nope I don't know when/if a new demo arrives, although I'd expect one only after the release of 1.0, maybe with it. — xZise [talk] 12:34, 25 March 2015 (CDT)
Sry I'd meant main article - the tutor for the full version. It seems making a separate tutorial for the demo is more reasonable if the difference remains with the old tutorial... NWM (talk) 03:59, 26 March 2015 (CDT)
Ah! Well depends on the amount of duplication. Is the tutorial already here on the wiki so I can take a look? — xZise [talk] 09:15, 27 March 2015 (CDT)
It is just half ready, and in Hungarian only. It is the "LES tutorial". I build it as a step by step tutor with many pictures. Building LES - teaches the editor, the tanker - propulsion, SAS,RCS, docking, electric system etc., the lander 1 - legs, parachutes, ladders, lander 2 - science, fuel pipes, struts. And a fast sample for interplanetary stage, and a short lesson about the launch vehicles. Maybe, I'll start to translate the first sequences before it is finished totally. The demo is more simple: a simple mun attacker rocket would be enough... NWM (talk) 18:53, 27 March 2015 (CDT)
I've downloaded the new demo. It is even more disappointing then the 1.0 full game. Having landing legs without any short engine - what the holy sh*t! (BUT at least there is such an almost totally useless part like the RT-5 "Flea" SRB!) Has anyone tried it? It is a real torture to build a Mun-mission even for an experienced player!
The tutorial's first section is translated to English, although, needs grammar correction, and some enhancements... NWM (talk) 14:59, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

building upgrades

Just so you know I directly quoted the game when I made those additions. I dont have an issue with your changes. Just be aware that those are not my words. Benargee (talk) 18:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

I don't blame you (or have a grudge against you) but there are no size restrictions so we don't need to abbreviate words. And then I'm a big opponent of this Upper Case Every Word. — xZise [talk] 20:16, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

thumbnails

Sry, but: The thumbnails are breaking since the server migration. Will this problem solved in the foreseeable future, or the pages have to be reedited? -NWM (talk) 19:28, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

That is out of my hand. I contacted Squad but they'll working on it no sooner than Monday (working hours of Mexiko). And there is also other stuff broken (like uploading images). I use User talk:ALeXmOrA to list everything which must be done and can't be done without access to the server (which I don't have). — xZise [talk] 20:14, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Please inform us when the wiki engine works properly again by leaving an message in the "Wiki News" for example. I do not want to try upload the pictures (dozens, of new parts...) every day, again and again...
Thanks - NWM (talk) 12:44, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
I've added a note at the top so if that is gone you know it should work. Although I don't understand why you try to upload dozens of images. Just one image once a day should be often enough to determine if it works. — xZise [talk] 12:10, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Spam warning templates

Hey xZise, i created two new templates for warning spammers, and i don't know if it will be useful. I also edited Kerbal Space Program Wiki:Fighting spam. if you think the templates aren't useful, then you can go ahead and delete it. if you think we should keep and use it, please add admin protection after confirming that nothing needs to be changed with the templates. btw if you think that the templates should be substituted (subst:spam2) please tell me. adding to that i created Template:Copyright by Squad for use in images. thanks :)

Seems like we have the first customer. — xZise [talk] 17:01, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
User talk:Lajoswinkler is that your intended appearance with the signature in pre-tags basically? — xZise [talk] 17:03, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
I just don't know why there is a weird signature appearance (like <code>). and that's exactly not what i want --Deepspacecreeper (talk) 18:25, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

A couple of thoughts from an interested observer (I spotted the various anti-spam stuff in recent changes). Some of the things currently labelled as "spam" are really not spam at all. Not all vandalism is spam, not all obnoxious behaviour (e.g. harassment) is spam. The reason that I am making this point, is that calling something spam when it is not clearly spam can and will lead to conflicts or confusion. For example, if someone is accused of spamming, but their abuse was something quite different, it greatly weakens the message being sent to them, and they might not even properly understand what they did that was wrong. Spam is really only when it's bulk activities, usually involving some form of advertising or spamming external links for "search optimisation". Spam can be as little as a single edit, it doesn't have to be bulk within the limits of this site (e.g. a link spammer might spam 1 link here, and 10,000 across 9,999 other wikis). I'm not certain how Wikipedia choose to label the various forms of abuse, but I suggest copying the use of terminology on the English Wikipedia (and I'm assuming that they don't mis-label like this). I'm about 99% certain they always call it vandalism and not spam, when that's the particular problem. I do strongly support anti-spam, anti-vandalism, anti-abuse, etc. I approve of the concepts and creating warning templates, project pages, etc, despite there not actually being a huge problem on here right now. --Murph (talk) 19:00, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

You are probably right that vandalism is a better term. And yes spam (as in link spam) is very rare (<< 1 per week), by those who create an account and publish a page with some ad stuff. But also other vandalism isn't really an issue (the one I linked above is really an exception). Maybe we should change the terminology from spam to vandalism as afaik most of the stuff related to spam is actually more related to the general vandalism. — xZise [talk] 20:24, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Agreed. Lets move the policy pages to distinguish between vandalism and spam. --Deepspacecreeper (talk) 23:11, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
And should we delete the "spam" templates? cause i just want to include link spamming as a type of vandalism. we only need one template. --Deepspacecreeper (talk) 00:09, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

BTW sorry for using your list at my page. i forgot to edit it to my name when i copied it over --Deepspacecreeper (talk) 20:55, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Not a problem ;) The worst that could happen was the empty 2013 row. — xZise [talk] 17:01, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
