I think I need a paid account for templates... but can we talk on msn, chatting on a forum is kinda slow :p

   Click my name here to get my mail on my profile page and add me to msn.

[Beatz]

I don't have MSN, just ICQ (158462232) and XFire (plhsbeatz).

[Soldier Of Ra]

Xfire then, though MoHAA will act strange if xfire is on...

[STORMnl]

use icq  i have it to and there are also guy's with ts there,,

   

   icq is not what it was before,,it's 200 times better

[Beatz]

I created a first template version for maps. I hope, I didn't forget anything important. You may test it.

   

   My first impressive on wikispaces

   The tempate engine and wikispaces at all is very restricted. You may think about chaning the system? Wikia p.e. is much more powerfull with many features but free, too. And it's hosted on wikia servers, too. One year ago I spent a lot of time in testing those free wiki systems including hosting. Wikia would have been my first choice, but I decided to realize it myself. Wikia uses mediawiki, the system wikipedia uses. Wikia's systems ist always up to date.

[Soldier Of Ra]

Okay so I need to change now? I already did a lot of progress and I'm supposed to leave that??

   I didn't start learning javascript just to switch to another site.

[Beatz]

You don't need to, it's your decission. :-D I just wanted you to think about.

   

   I realized the multilingual links to your wiki and get noticed of a big problem. Wikispaces uses "+" in URLs instead of spaces. Wikia and many other wikis uses underscored (_) instead of. The Problem is, I can add a "+" so "8 Play Crossroad" will be "8+Play_Crossroad" in URL, but most browsers changes many signs into their ASCII-Codes with "%" as prefix. That means, most browsers are calling "8%2BPlay%2BCrossroad". The underscored will always be the same.

   

   In short: I'm not able to link to any of your wiki page, which contains a space in title. On wikia System it would be possible easyly.

   

   Please have a look at my links to your wiki (left sidebar -> "English"):

   http://www.mohaa-wiki.de">http://www.mohaa-wiki.de

   http://www.mohaa-wiki.de/wiki/8_Play_Crossroads">http://www.mohaa-wiki.de/wiki/8_Play_Crossroads

[Soldier Of Ra]

Hmm I see...if this wikia has a lot of storage then I'll go to there. But those +'s are there because I used spaces in my pagenames. But still every browser will convert those links to ASCII codes.

[Beatz]

I don't think, there a limit at wikia. Please have a look on some gaming wikis.

[Soldier Of Ra]

Okay, I made a wiki at wikia. But I'm kind of disappointed about it at my first sight; It's brand new and it's already loaded with crap. I did not ask for all these boxes and examples. Why do they dump all help topics in my wiki? And where in god's name do I change settings or get page overviews? You say it uses mediawiki and you use it too, so would you know where is the control panel??

[STORMnl]

lenny,,it's easyer when you talk to him on TS,,buy a mic,, only 2 euro

   ps

   

   @ beatz,,is united fairplay going to back you up???

[Soldier Of Ra]

Hmm, then why would I bother putting any effort in my database?

[STORMnl]

you can combine,,Beatz is looking for a second admin

   

   converd BE and GER  together

   

   combined MOH borders,,ha ha,,be ONE

   

   as we are here at MRS

   

   The time wil come that some sites wil combine together

   

   start first,,lets combine everthing together,,

   

   and i think Beatz wil join this community to

   

   he's olready a member of a very ,very big community in germany

   

   and you speak german to,,lol

   

   belgium...3 lanq. vlaams,waals en duits

   

   you are 3 in 1

   

   ha ha ,,as me i speak them to but i'm dutch

[Beatz]

I think, they're creating dummy pages for people who don't know how to start. You may delete them, if you want.

   

   In Mediawiki, you won't find a control panel, as know from other systems. Everything you need is controled by wiki-like editing of some special pages. For example the page http://mohmods.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar">http://mohmods.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar controls the menü on the left side. The customazation is much more powerfull than in wikispaces. On the site http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Main_Page">http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Main_Page you'll find a lot of interesting help. If not, ask the team, you'll get an anwer fast.

   

   I think, if you'll spend a bit time, you will love it. By the way, interlingual links to that wiki works fine:

   @STORM

   Why do you think, UF is going to back me up? We've got a partnership with UF, mohaa-online, etc. And I'm nearly the only one, who's working. Now I'm trying to combine their forum with my wiki. :-)

[Soldier Of Ra]

Me, German? Barely, I'm still in highschool, I only had 1 hour German a week last year and this year 3. In total I've had like 40 lessons. Most of the time we just messed around with the teacher. There's no way I'm translating all that, even though I can understand German quite well. It's a LOT faster writing than translating. And I certainly won't translate in BE or FR, I'm not a robot. If tutorials appear in french/german, then I'll have no choice.

   

   And I cannot work in teams or with restrictions. Nature doesn't allow me to. So I and the database would be better off doing it all myself. Personally, I think it would be very unlikely to see some sites combine together.

   

   Now what's going to happen?? I'm sick of wasting my time at wikispaces and wikia if it's never good enough. Shockingly, I have a life as well!
