Wiki needs updating!

Boboid · February 27, 2015, 08:37:40 AM

Christ.. the wiki really is a barren wasteland, hadn't fully realized how out of date some of this stuff is
Made worse by its flat-white-background! Honestly have to cut my brightness down to 1/5th of normal to spend any time looking at it or it gives me a horrendous headache.

Curse whoever thought white webpages were a good idea.

I would love to be able to sort some fo the look issues of the Wiki but not being an admin i cannot get into the styles and or the wiki layout options. I have sorted layout accross the web pages. The main page was done today. But if i couls actually administrate the wiki i would have it looking lovely in a few days!
Maybe Tynan will allow me to make to wiki look lovely lol

Page creation still blocked? I can't upload missing images because of this.

Blocked? Shouldn't be blocked at all, are you registered with at least 10 edits?

Lemme know if there's anything I can help with. I'm a sort of administrator for the wiki at the moment - I can install new stuff if you think it'd make editing easier and encourage more people to contribute and stuff like that.

It's nothing that needs to be installed. I would need access to the designer and the css sheets. It's no matter as I say would need admin status to polish the wiki design and layout.

You can edit the CSS in your userspace and it actually takes effect (but only for you). Once you're done, you can show it to us and we can decide.

this is very true, can i get a copy of the styles sheet from the wiki sent to my email. that way i can be sure that i have edited all parts.

EDIT: have a little trouble but im getting there this wouldn't be so hard if i was building from scratch lolz

elStrages · March 05, 2015, 09:33:05 AM

added a common style sheet to my page, its still a work in progress but feel free to copy the styles to your own page to see what it will look like. Feedback would be great.

ZestyLemons · March 05, 2015, 10:50:50 AM

The stylesheets the RimWorld wiki uses right now are pretty much default. It's all from MediaWiki's vector skin.

Going about changing the look of the wiki would probably be best done by doing it via the skin system for MediaWiki: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skins

Hopefully you can find everything there that you need.

Thanks for the hard work Jim, I'd try and keep things up to date too if I had more time.

I'd be interested in a wiki CSS update, but would definitely want to have a look at potential changes first. Doing it in a "sandbox" type environment first would be idea if you could.

FYI A guy did great CSS for the RimWorld subreddit at reddit.com/r/RimWorld - you could look at it for inspiration.

I don't need any confirmation/acc activation from you to start editing the wikis Tynan, is that right?

You shouldn't. Zesty is really the wiki master though

RickyMartini · June 13, 2015, 01:07:03 PM

Alrighty then.

ZestyLemons · June 13, 2015, 07:11:13 PM

Yup, you don't need permission to edit anything on the Wiki. As long as you're being reasonable about what you add or edit, there's usually no problem. You'll have to do some captchas for your first ~20 edits, but after that you basically have full power to do most things on the wiki.

You can always post questions about wiki stuff here or on my wiki profile.
