Idea: Suggested flights with stars

How 'bout this idea... Make a star rating system thingy for Suggested Flights? A template with 0 to 5 stars we could add to a flight so that users can rate the flight. I dunno how to make it else I would... :) PH-JBO 19:38, 22 December 2011 (EST)

We could use the rating system that is used for aircraft/airports, but that'll require each flight to be on a special page; which is quite a hassle IMO. Don't know of any other option right now...

Renaming newly categorised files

I saw in recent changes that you have renamed many of the files that I have categorised, and I just want to say: Thumbs up icon Thank you! --Johan G 15:15, 14 February 2012 (EST)

Not intentionally only files that you categorised (apparently you categorised ALL file :P), but files that had the basic fgfs-screen names, which is very very bad...
I'd like to thank you for all the hard work you're doing on the wiki these days. Good to see some more activity!

I didn't really categorise all files (there's still about 1400 to go...), but thank you anyway. ;-) —Johan G (Talk | contribs) 18:07, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

Template documentation

Just a heads up.

While having a bit less presence in the FlightGear community (probably a bit of recoil from straining myself, but also due to real life) for a while I drop in now and then for a peek on the Wiki.

Recently I noticed that one of my sup-pages (User:Johan G/Wiki improvement) was a bit different, but noticed I'm the only one editing there. Checking the used templates gave the explanation. Specifically the {{tl}} template. ;-)


When you add the {{informative template}}, make sure you leave the <noinclude> tag where it was. If you add empty lines and/or spaces, those will be added each time the the template is used with unwanted results. Remember that a space in the beginning of a line will put that remaining text on that line in a "code box". ;-)


In this specific case the previous edit looked like this,

{{[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}<noinclude>
...

while the new edit looked like this (spaces represented by underscores),

{{[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}_
_
<noinclude>
...

The result is that

The template {{informative template}} is a template documenting templates.

instead of being rendered like this,

The template {{informative template}} is a template documenting templates.

got rendered like this:

The template {{informative template}}

is a template documenting templates


Otherwise I see that you are doing a wonderful job.Thumbs up icon Just don't strain yourself, will you. :-)

Unsigned template + Archive pages

I had been thinking of moving {{unsigned2}} to {{unsigned}} for a while, but not done it. Good idea to keep the redirection page.

On a totally different matter, when you get to the point when you consider your talk page is to long I hope that you do not delete parts of it, but instead move it to a archive in the form of a subpage, in case you or someone else want to have a look on it in the future.

Deleting of a user page?

Hi Gijs, erm, I see you deleted my User Page? umm.. Why? --Sebasgokart 10:24, 24 March 2012 (EDT)

It was deleted because someone else wrote down some discussion about your VA edits being spamlinks or not. Apart from that there was no content on the page, so it was deleted (all the way back in October!!).
