User talk:Jumping Jack

Welcome!

Hello, Jumping Jack, and welcome to the Paragon Wiki! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Feel free to fill out your personal user page so we can get to know you. There is a collection of Userboxes you can easily add there. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

If you need help, ask me on my talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Don't forget to drop by and introduce yourself in the Forum, which will use the same name/password that you used when you signed up with the wiki. If you ever feel the need to change your password, you will need to do so there instead of here in the wiki. And there's even a RSS Feed, if you're into that.

Also, make sure you take a look at the Help page. There is a lot of preloaded images, missions, and contact info, and what you want to add might already be there.

Again, welcome! - Snorii 22:34, 17 October 2007 (EDT)

Hii! Welcome to the madness! since it isn't in some of our more standard welcome msgs, I though I'd point out that you can get a hold of any of the Adim here through this page if you have any question about local policy, technicalities, or whatnot. Anyway, pls enjoy your time here!--Sleepy Kitty 13:24, 18 October 2007 (EDT)

o.o well.. actually I think the only template for test jumping is {{clr}} here, we usually just use it and <br> for most of that stuff.. if you want to import those other two clrs, feel free, just make sure they don't conflict with anything already here =^^= --Sleepy Kitty 22:51, 18 October 2007 (EDT)

Image Categories

Regarding Image Categories - No worries, putting them where you thought they should go is excellent. Mostly, I was just moving a few down to subcategories. Keep up the good work.  :D - Snorii 09:20, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Dialup

I would copy your dialup userbox to my page, but after three years of playing coh on dialup, I am now on dsl. - Snorii 09:23, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Feel free to make a "Recovering Dialup user" userbox! :) --Jumping Jack 09:42, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Bases

@.@ where to begin.. I guess with Category:Base Items By Type.. the text you have in that category page doesn't make sense, its a category, it sorts alphabetically, and doesn't let you sort things how ever you want to. Where you perhaps thinking of nested categories? dropping a Category:Control and Category:Power or such in and sorting from there?

^^ also, I don't know about the WoWWiki's handling of it, but Category pages are treated as folders here, and we usually only put brief descriptions of what the category is intended for on the cat's page section (random examples: Category:5th Column Images, Category:Blaster Secondary). That is to say, something brief (think notes in programing code for example) and we usually leave off the headlines and headers.

o_o that said, for any of these folders/categories you make, please make sure to nest them in the proper parent folder =^^= --Sleepy Kitty 14:26, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

I do intend "Startup Base Items", "Workshop Base Items", etc, by the restrictions for what items can be placed in which rooms. That is, all items that are restricted as "workshops" go in the workshop base items category, etc.

I have just put the first polish on {{BaseItemBox}}, and intend to have the type entry automatically create a link to the item category. Similarly, having the BaseRoomBox provide links to categories that apply for particular lines in it. (IE, Oversight center would have lines linking to workshops, startup, storage.)

True, usually the headlines are left off. I found an example amongst the template pages that was otherwise, so assumed that the occasional exception was useful. The headline in this case can be omitted, I think. --Jumping Jack 14:32, 19 October 2007 (EDT)
