==Adding random page==
+
Ultimately, we're going to have to come up with a set of procedures, processes, and guidelines for use if this isn't going to devolve into mass chaos.  As I doubt the community that arises around this wiki will be nowhere near the size of the one that grew around Wikipedia, it won't need nearly the complexity, but we will need something.

Can we add the "random page" link to the nav bar which seems to be standard in every wiki except this one.  That's one of my favourite features of wikis.  -- [[User:GIR|GIR]] 28 August 2005 22:28 (MSD)

==Where to place vessel development tutorials?==
  
−
==Broken URL on sidebar==
+
I could write a lot of tutorials about the funky stuff, like autopilots or animations codes, but my problem is, what is the best location for it. SDK documentation does not look right for me, tools is also wrong. Maybe we could create a section like "DLL tutorials" with a subsection "design pattern for vessels"?

Also i currently have a small little capsule project on my workbench, which is quite nice for explaining some basic things of how to use anim8or for orbiter. --[[User:Urwumpe|Urwumpe]] 3 August 2005 14:44 (MSD)

Urwumpe,
 +
created a new site: [[Addon Tutorials]]. This could be the place to put tutorials. Feel free to structurize and organize the site. created also a link to it on the main page. [[http://orbit.m6.net/v2/read.asp?id=25079 This thread]] can be used for discussions too.

Currently rolling back a defacement takes only 1 minute, but this minute could be used better IMHO. I think it would be better the admin(s) get back on doing their job and at least IP ban Casper - come on, its always the same IP, thats too easy to be true. Alternativly i would recommend appointing some moderators or how it is called in a wiki. --[[User:Urwumpe|Urwumpe]] 6 October 2005 09:03 (MSD)

[[User:Ozone|Ozone]] 00:18, 26 April 2006 (MSD) Why was the main page reverted?

Sorry I wasn't paying enough attention :) The two IPs are now banned. [[User:RaMan|RaMan]] 6 October 2005 13:08 (MSD)

==OrbiterWiki moved==
  
 +
OrbiterWiki was unaccessible for about 45 minutes, which I suppose can be called a success given that this wiki is not heavily loaded. The old URL forwards to this wiki now. www.orbiterwiki.com is fully aliased with www.orbiterwiki.org, which may cause some confusion. I'm not sure what to do about this yet. Should I just forward .com to .org? -- [[User:RaMan|RaMan]] 02:44, 22 December 2005 (MSK)

Oh, I forgot to mention that MathML is currently not available. We hope to get this set up and running ASAP. -- [[User:RaMan|RaMan]] 02:45, 22 December 2005 (MSK)

== Protection ==

I suggest we protect the Main Page. It's the primary target for defacement, but it's also the first thing a visitor sees when they enter the site. It's not very nice if they are presented with a defaced page. Surely they'll feel that the site is neglected. Any opinions? --[[User:RaMan|RaMan]] 14:12, 26 July 2006 (MSD)

* I don't think its a bad idea, but it makes it of course harder for users for adding new content. So, if we do this and protect it, i would propose improving the layout of the main page to something more appealing and create a set of "portals" where any user can add content, for a special topic. So new pages can still be found, while main page does only get maybe one update per week. What about a "picture of the week" and an "article of the week" on main page? maybe we could motivate people to work more on their addon articles and tutorials. --[[User:Urwumpe|Urwumpe]] 14:32, 26 July 2006 (MSD)

** i like it, all critism i see is the title, maybe we should replace it with a tiny banner, so it does not look too "empty" on the screen. --[[User:Urwumpe|Urwumpe]] 22:16, 29 July 2006 (MSD)
