::: And while we're at it, we also have a handful of git related templates to abstract away UI-specifics, which would allow us/me to upload screenshots for different interfaces (CLI, tortoisegit etc), so that we only need to update the templates, and not touch any of those articles. OTOH, I cannot seem to find a recent discussion of the idea, only http://wiki.flightgear.org/Talk:Development_workflow and that has not been updated in 3 years. Any opinions ? -[[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 20:52, 15 May 2016 (EDT) | ::: And while we're at it, we also have a handful of git related templates to abstract away UI-specifics, which would allow us/me to upload screenshots for different interfaces (CLI, tortoisegit etc), so that we only need to update the templates, and not touch any of those articles.

:::: I'm not fully sold on this one. I see the point of creating templates (for example, the Git commands mentioned in [[Talk:Development workflow]] can be used in aircraft pages to explain how to checkout a development version from a private repository), but, in my opinion, screenshots are a bit "heavy" to be reused in other articles (beside the Git ones). Did you plan to use them in other pages and, if yes, how? -- [[User:Elgaton|ElGaton]] ([[User talk:Elgaton|<tt>talk</tt> to me]]) 14:11, 23 May 2016 (EDT) | :::: I'm not fully sold on this one.

:: It was originally intended to document different UIs and workflows - i.e. by parameterizing the templates, so that a matching set of commands, and screenshots, could be shown. The basic idea was that we have a growing number of articles detailing git workflows (clone, checkout, push, branch etc) - and it seemed to make sense to have a single article/template documenting the specifics, so that other articles could merely use that template, while specifiying the "action" and any other variable items (repository, branch etc) - and then use a template to provide the matching command line. However, don't worry - we don't need to do it that way. Originally, it was all inspired by [[Howto:Build FlightGear with NetBeans using CMake]]. -[[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 14:23, 23 May 2016 (EDT) | |||
