Don't ask what the community can do for you - ask what you can do for the community


In ~ 2 weeks my school career is almost over and I'll have a lot of free time. I'd like to waste this time for the

ModEnc Editing Festival Week


This "event" aims at improving the quality of ModEnc. There are still some categories, that are not well ordered, pages that are not linked where necessary, a huge mass of copied Deezire page (DCoder said ~1600 from 2000) and not enough tutorials.
So I ask the whole community to draw their (active) attention on ModEnc for a week, being more exactly:

14.4.2008 - 20.4.2008

There exists a ModEnc article which holds all necessary information. Feel free to add some points if necessary.

At the end of the period, the best contributor will be chosen in a public vote. You can win a working legal steam account which contains the following games:
  • Half-Life
  • Counter-Strike
  • Opposing Force
  • Blue Shift
  • Half-Life² Episode 1
  • Codename Gordon (ok, it's freeware)
Edit: We got a second prize for you: a Premium Rapidshare.com Account. For details and up-to-date-information, please visit the ModEnc article.

Quote:A failure establishes only this: That our determination to succeed was not strong enough.
Whatever you blame it on, I've stopped re-skinning ModEnc and returned to good old monobook. Fact is, the skin was half-done for months and I couldn't be arsed to finish it, and fact is, not many people liked it anyway. So, I had three choices:
  1. Finish the re-design and force it upon people, even though it's universally hated.
  2. Do nothing, leading to other people thinking it sucks because of the concept as a whole and me thinking it sucks because it's unfinished.
  3. Revert to monobook, transfer the newer styles, and finally unify and update the old styling, leading to the page looking good, everybody liking it and so on, at the price of looking like any other MediaWiki wiki.
Looking at it, you'll see that it was not much of a choice. It's sad I didn't manage to give us our own identity, but there's no use for a Modding Encyclopedia no one uses. At least the instant familiarity with the page design will help people contribute.

So, reverse last announcement on this topic: Skin ModEnc is hereby discontinued and will not be updated anymore. Whoever is currently set to ModEnc is advised to go to his preferences → skins and switch to "Monobook" - the one having "(default)" behind it.
Template styles should mostly fit, only flag's graphics and the logo look a little weird. But hey, what do I have weekend for?

Sorry for any inconvenience caused, but I think this is the best course of action.]]>

Help can be found here, but it's basically nothing but adding codes like ra2=yes, yr=yes, rp=yes etc. for games that are supported, and then removing the old games= line.

Also note that special= and default= can be omitted now if there is no value. Once everything is updated, there will be no more distinction between "None" and "none" necessary. (All other parameters got default values as well, values= outputs an error if it isn't set.)

Hope you like the new template. Oh, and have a look at the new ModBar as well (live example from UMP page).]]>

I just turned it to default, so guests should see the new design already. Registered users may have to go to their preferences and change skin to "modenc".

While you are of course free to use whatever skin you like, I advise you that I'll re-design the news, templates, tables etc. to fit the "modenc" style. They'll all be "css-able" for monobook as well, but somebody else would have to do that, if he can't live without the old skin.

From the above you can deduct that I'm not entirely done yet, as said, news, templates, tables and some details are still wrongly styled, but the skin is generally usable, and a dozen users see problems quicker than one.

Note that I'm going to rewrite some templates, so don't be surprised if things go crazy for short periods. Also prepare for some reorganizations...I'm particularly unhappy with the way the RockPatch pages are currently organized...a lot of information is misplaced, redundant or just plain ugly. And the OS and ETS namespaces are mostly empty -_-

And behold the beautified new/minor/unpatrolled icons Big Grin

P.S.: Non-standard-compliant browsers *cough*Internet Explorer*cough* are not entirely adapted yet.
P.P.S.: Can you say "stream of consciousness"? Dead

Edit: Added a page ModEnc:Known Design Bugs. Add problems you find in the skin there, please.]]>

For those who don't frequent the Recent Changes, there recently was a user who managed to do the following:
He saved 22 revisions spread over 5 wishlist pages, to add a total amount of 13 lines. Not only does this mean he almost saved two pages for every one line he added, nooo, actually, that's not even necessary. Had he simply edited the page as he wanted it to be and saved, he'd only have to have edited each page once - resulting in five saved revisions, one for each page.
He also managed to put his nickname behind every single one of the lines he added, despite the fact that this behavior is clearly deprecated in the styleguide.
He took the time in between wishing to move around other people's wishes and comment on them (directly on the wishlist).
...and in the end, he usually started off each page by saving his wish on top of the list, correcting it in one of his later revisions.

His personal Toplist is as follows:
  1. Wishlist/Page 2 (7 Revisions)
  2. Wishlist/Page 4 (5 Revisions)
  3. Wishlist/Page 6 (4 Revisions)
  4. Wishlist and Wishlist/Page 5 (both 3 Revisions)

Important changes:
I have created three new namespaces, RockPatch, RockPatchDocs and Factions, all will have their main pages at RockPatch:Main, RockPatch Docs:Main and Factions:Main, respectively.

Update: In the process of bringing the internal links in order, I got rid of both the very old YR_1001pd-pages as well as the old RockPatch/ and RockPatch_Docs/ pages.

All internal links are fine, just external, pointing-to-modenc ones need to be updated. In most cases, this is just a question of replacing the mid-page slash by a colon.

Once more, clearly: All old ModEnc-RockPatch links, except for /RockPatch itself, are now outdated.]]>
