=== Aircraft status categories === | |||
Now that aircraft [[Formalizing Aircraft Status|can be rated]] (on completeness/status), it made sense to put these aircraft into categories, based on their status. A small adjustment to the [[:Template:Infobox Aircraft|aircraft infobox]] made this process completely automated. All you, as wiki-aircraft-article author need to do is add the ratings to the infobox. | Now that aircraft [[Formalizing Aircraft Status|can be rated]] (on completeness/status), it made sense to put these aircraft into categories, based on their status.

=== Images requested === | |||
"A picture is worth a thousand words", as they say. Yet, lots of wiki articles lack (sufficient) imagery. To get you going, a [[:Category:Image requested|special category]] has been created, which lists articles that are in desperate need for images. | |||
Besides missing images, there are alos quite some outdated images lying around. As time goes by, FlightGear's visuals improve. Especially over the past year or so we've seen some big improvements. When you stumble accross an out of date image, you can replace it by an up to date one: | |||
# Click the thumbnail to go to the image's page. | |||
# Click the "Upload a new version of this file" link, located underneath the image. This brings you to the usual upload form. | |||
# Browse to the new image and click the upload button. You'll get asked whether you really want to overwrite an existing file. Say yes. Don't worry if you make a mistake, the wiki moderators can retrieve overwritten files easily. | |||
# Refresh your browser (F5), to show the new image. | |||
