Talk:Main Page
Uploading
For lack of a better soapbox, I'm making this point here. We need to be able to upload images. It's that simple. Otherwise we have no pictures. Pictures are good. --TheKillerRabbit 16:42, 30 January 2006 (EST)
- I think it would be a good idea to put up biod for the astros and the alumni here. I tried to make a catagory for biod but failed due to my lacking wiki skills. It would also be fun to write our own bios and put them here (by "us" I mean us underlings/non astros/non MC). --Foo1 20:06, 9 April 2006 (EDT)
- That's kind of what User Pages are for... Request for Biographieness denied. Stefanido 21:12, 9 April 2006 (EDT)
- Um. I have uploaded images already. Can't everyone?
- Astro Bios should be on the Wiki too. Everything should be here. Not all astros have users, so your arguement there doesn't work either. Also, look at me. I deserve a bio to talk about my accomplishments as: Commander, Astronaut, Tech Director, PR Director, etc. but that shouldn't go on my userpage: Avacar it should go on my yet-to-be-written article Alex Ghosh. (P.S. When are one of you going to try to write a botched article about me? ;) ) -Avacar 12:25, 10 April 2006 (EDT)
- Exactly. We have a page for the admiral...then why not one for the MC and astros?--Foo1 16:02, 10 April 2006 (EDT)
Blank Pages
Can we stop creating blank pages? If you're going to do that, at least flag them with - Needs Expansion -. That said, what is wrong with leaving their links Red, reminding people they need to be made? - Avacar 16:49, 15 April 2006 (EDT)
- Do you mean flag with the template or the category? AFAIK, the template is deprecated. --The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 18:17, 15 April 2006 (EDT)
- I agree with Alex. If a link has a red name, then you know you have to work on it. I'm going to make a policy of deleting articles that have the Expand Article tag as their only content.Stefanido 16:58, 9 January 2008 (EST)
Random grammatical edits
Jeff, I know you're trying to make our main page look pretty, but the last edits you made were all wrong, and I reverted the page. As far as I can tell, the Main Page is OK; it doesn't need any more fixes. --The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 14:00, 16 April 2006 (EDT)
Notable Members
Should members get a separate page describing their contributions to sim aside from their user page, which can be used for non-sim/non-formal information? Refer to Nevin Hotson and user: theKillerRabbit to see what I'm talking about. Anther question is that what makes a member notable? Should the fact that another page refers to them make them eligible for a small page to describ them? It'd make for many more pages, but its not like our wiki is having too many pages.--Anthony 09:40, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
- I've been pondering this lots recently, and I think two pages, one being a bio, the other being a user page is an okay idea. Yes, my opinion is the exact opposite of mine last year, but oh well. Not just for notable members, but all members [political correctness: ALL MEMBERS ARE SPECIAL! YAY!]---Herr Doktor Tolkien von Oxford 00:10, 19 October 2008 (EDT)
- I agree, but I think there should be a tag for member bios, and to delete the "selfbio" tag, since many bios are going to be selfbiographies.--Anthony 10:48, 19 October 2008 (EDT)
- Oh, and when/if we should be removing the redirects to the userpages?--Anthony 17:19, 19 October 2008 (EDT)
- Certainly there should be such a template. I will make it in a second. Or it would probably be easier to just modify the autobio template. As to removing redirects, do it once a bio exists for that user.---Herr Doktor Tolkien von Oxford 22:11, 19 October 2008 (EDT)
