Right done a quick update to the Animals table (it's a bit easier to understand now to for future edits, need to figure out how to find some of the stats that aren't shown in game though

Nice work! I know they are in the game files somewhere but I couldn't find them myself. Perhaps some righteous and awesome forum goer can point us in the right direction?

Important if unglamorous work. Truly, the unsung heroes are the bravest!

New template done for weapons.
Mind give me your opinion before I do the rest of weapons pages the same way ?

Can't seem to upload any images to the wiki, I wanted to at least get a RimWorld logo on the front page, it's so bland and ugly. Was thinking one of the more common ones:


(Plain and white, very simple, matches the sparseness of the front page well...but not sure how well it will show up.)

(A touch colorful perhaps but I've always loved this background)

(The classic base behind logo, might be too busy though.)

That's great man! Maybe the red background with black text is a touch harsh on the eyes but that could just be me.

I ain't a good person about styles, just did it more or less the same way as the other one is.
Which color/Text color would fit in your eyes ?

About the upload issue, it's surely related to the thumbnail error that shows up everywhere. I'll put my nose over there this weekend.

I don't see anything wrong with what he had; the white text on red background, it's vibrant and eye catching, contrasts the blue nicely, Idk...Just stick with that for now. Until someone decides on an over all theme for the page no sense in getting too worried over it.

Could we use an external link from like an image hosting site until we get embedded files working? Or is that a no-no?

Letting it to red/white then.

About external images, by default it's unallowed in mediawiki for security reasons and all those silly background work stuffs.
Tynan ? Would you allow it for now ? If yes it's under "$wgAllowExternalImages".

anyone figured out how to edit the versions table on the far right of http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Version#Complete_Version_List

can't edit it so all the data is still showing as up to date from alpha 5D

A lot of the tables seem oddly hard to modify or locked in some way, I think DarkGhost is working on figuring it out.

Agreed! Lol. ; D I think it's time for an adult beverage, wiki editing is thirsty work.
