[FAQ] ESUSWiki Commentary and Questions

Well, the statistics I included I thought of as a sort of "summary" of the most important statistics in a vessel - length, power plant, complement, etc. As well, all the statistics from the original infobox are included in mine and organized into the "career" and "characteristis" sections, except the designer field (which I felt was lumped in Manufacturer, and if not that was something you'd discuss in the article more than the infobox).

As well, I added a species infobox for Sskiss - you can look that over and correct any mistakes I made. I didn't remove the stats yet, and I leave that for you to do if/when you're satisfied with the species template.

The Species infobox seems kinda Sskiss-specific. It seems more important to have things like average height and weight than "biological era"- which really only matters since the Sskiss didn't evolve in the current human one. Ditto with seperate origin and homewolrd categories.

Biological era can apply as much to any species, including the Sskiss. For example, for the Anikari, it might only be the last 10,000 years. It depends solely on how long that the species in question has been in fact deemed to be a seperate, independent example. As well, if your species is lucky enough to have the same Origin and Homeworld, then just put the same planet for each one. Some species (Anikari included) have not been so fortunate. Althought it definitely could use refinement - I will work with it using the bits from the Template:Ship Infobox to divide it up into sections like "General Characteristics" and "General Statistics," and work the average heights, weights, etc. into the statistics area.

Secondly, I realized the problem with the ship infoboxes. What we need is a "Ship" infobox and a "Class" infobox, as information in one doesn't fit well in the other (i.e., the difference between Character and Species).

I've done some reorganising.

My nice templates have been annihalated.

Never mind. We're good now.

Okie dokie. I've hacked mediawiki to let me use img tags (which are severely crippled by default. Use http://wiki.esusalliance.co.uk/?title=T ... talk:Image for images now. You'll have to host everything off-server from now on.

Oh bloody hell. We figure this out just as I'm going on vacation. Mindset, you can delete some of my higher-res pictures if you want; I'll fix them after I get back. Specifically, I'm looking at the "Fist" and "Hyperion" pictures.

I fixed it by deleting some of my personal stash. Uploads are disabled now.

I've just upgraded my account. I've now got an additional 600MB spare

I'll be re-enabling uploads tonight.
