User talk:Wynthyst
Your template looks great! I'm just trying to finish up adding links and references to odd capitalizations of things. I especially like how you split Category:Items up into subcategories. Way to go! Silivrenion 22:55, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- By the way, see System:Templates. We might aswell organize our own work a little too! Silivrenion 23:04, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- Um... we have a namespace for "System pages" it's call The Evony Wiki namespace. I'm not sure exactly what pages you think that template would be appropriate on.... --Wynthyst 00:08, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oh. Didn't know that. Well, is there a cat already created for them? How are our wiki namespace pages indexed? Can we make wiki namespace pages to answer these questions for prospective editors of the future? Silivrenion 05:40, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- Well, when this wiki was originally configured, it got rather messed up, and I'm working on correcting that now, but when it is corrected, the namespaces we will have available are:
- Main/talk
- User/User talk
- The Evony Wiki/The Evony Wiki talk (things like policy/guidelines etc)
- File/File talk
- Help/Help Talk
- Media Wiki/Media Wiki talk (System pages like site notices, Common.cs and .js etc restricted to administrative access)
- Template/Template talk
- Category/Category talk
- Q&A pages should go into the Help namespace.... though there is already an extensive Q&A section that was set up by the founders, and I really haven't figured out how it's set up, but it's pretty dysfunctional in it's current form. But normally I would have a Help:Ask a game question page, and a Help:Ask a wiki question page, but since there hasn't been much activity since I "took over" I haven't gotten to it yet. I've been pretty focused on simply getting the pages that are here redesigned and stylized to fit the new css. I'm hoping to have the Sitename corrected this week, and then we should be good to go. --Wynthyst 08:22, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- Makes a fair bit of sense! I'll try to work on some of the namespace categorization and cleanliness. Silivrenion 16:04, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Table layout on NPC page
The layout for farming NPCs used to be totally clear. Now these huge tables are a total mess!!! Why mess with a good thing, the page is now nearly useless!!!! Please put the data back the way it was!--TNT 09:06, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- The tables were horrid previously. The entire wiki has been given a redesign, eliminating html based tables. Could you please explain more clearly how you find them to be useless now? I really don't understand how tables that are so much easier to read can be considered useless. --Wynthyst 09:08, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- they used to be clear, condensed, all in order, in order being crucial. Now they take up three times as much space as before because of so much wasted white space between lines and columns, the font is larger, the tables are now separate chunks placed haphazardly on the page. What used to be readable in a glance, now is completely unintuitive and simply harder to read. I know this a trend at many websites other than here to place pretty colors and "nice looking" table headers and such, but tho it may be "prettier" is is harder to read and make sense of. Players don't come here to see pretty layouts, players like me want QUICK and EASY ACCESS to INFO.--199.247.253.44 07:53, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- I still do not understand your difficulty. The data has not changed. The tables having space and no bulky borders make the numbers easier to read rather than harder, this is a statictical fact. As for being placed haphazardly on the page, nothing has changed, other than the preformatted text was placed in tables that don't run off the edge of the page, and don't repeat information since that is now in headers. The preformatted text will NOT be replaced, I suggest you give the new design a chance. If you wish, I will place them in a column down the page if reading them in side by side columns is so difficult. --Wynthyst 07:58, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- statistical fact!? that's funny... Anyway, condensed=good, scattered/spread=bad, we used to see everything within a few inches, the new design is a space hogger.

[edit] Edit to Time Hopping Attacks
Hi,
Time Hopping Attacks has a redundant heading at the top. Poor wikistyle. I tried to remove it, I can't - it says I'm trying to remove a section but I'm not allowed to.

[edit] Your "Contact me" widget
Hey, I clicked the "+" icon which looked like is what was intended on your user page. But what i entered ended up on your user page.
It wasn't an intentional edit of your user page, but given it got there by me clicking on a control saying "contact me"... I'm confused now!
Was the intention to add a new section to your talk page? Because the target URL for that should be [1] Imawestie 04:46, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
- No, it's to give me easy access to the various parts of my user page. :D Sorry for the confusion. -- Wynthyst
