The AC2 Wiki

This looks great as a background, will look incredible as the wiki icon.

Let's blow the AC Wikia out of the water!

I'd be more interested in co-opting them than overcoming them...


We're chatting on irc right now - come join us.

Sorry dummy, was already doing the news post before you posted :p. <3 the logo BU.

Wikia AC has not been edited since December. Perhaps some of the old editors from there will come over and help us, but it's unlikely there's much of a current community to co-operate with, or any reason that within a few weeks we won't be able to cover almost everything they've got (and without the huge number of errors, picking a couple of random faction pages: Yang is missing inefficiency immunity, Gaians have bonus: can use native units as police. almost all of their http://sidmeiersalphacentauri.wikia.com/wiki/Bugs are not bugs, or wrong, or fixed). Still, looks like they've had a few good editors, and maybe we'll be able to attract them.

And yes, everyone should come join us on IRC sometime. It's almost a party there sometimes.

Question, will the AC wiki have information drawn from the various stories/books of AC as well, or purely drawn from the game and related sources?

[ete]

I don't have the books and will personally focus on gameplay related information, but if you or someone else would like to put up story information (overview of the books, adding more background to faction and maybe leader pages) then that would be more than welcome, and I'll help with formatting/any templates you want.

Talked to sisko for a while on IRC and we got the user bridge is working, took more messing about than I'd expected and does not yet allow wiki groups other than sysop, but that's fine for now. Basically, you now all have accounts on the wiki automatically if you have a forum account.

We should work in the extra info on the official faction leaders from the Firaxis pages, maybe?

[ete]

Yep. Not sure whether to have separate pages for official faction leaders or include their info on the faction pages yet, opinions?

[ete]

MsUpload working, will will be able to mass add faction graphics soon

I have 83 .pcxs converted to .pgn for display so far...

*.png, and good job

And, I've figured out why resized images are not displaying properly. Full size images work fine, but we've gotta set something up for resizing.

Is the issue that resized images don't show up (including images on their file pages)? Because if yes, my previous post is the issue. They'll work fine full size for now, I'll probably need to check some things with sisko (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_administration#Image_thumbnailing this stuff) before it'll work properly.

Secret projects in: http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Category:Secret_Projects and improvements to the facilities template.
