Talk:Main Page

Site description

It might be nice to include a description of the site and what's in it for first time visitors on the main page.

Tock has disabled editing of the main page. Now I have enabled editing for logged in users (hope that Tock will agree). Feel free to edit.

BTW: I ask Tock for admin rights for cleanups and some other can do ask too.

We can edit the main page now? I can see alot changes now :p It's better this way

kHacker35000vr 07:50, 17 March 2011 (CET)

Can't he make a rank or something between admin and registered user, so not everybody can register and than change.

Vulcanus2 17:13, 17 March 2011 (CET)

That is exactly what I mean with "logged in users" == already done!

Why there are 2 similar but different track info boxes?

I think we should only have one.

Here is a textbox discussion: Template talk:Textbox

Wiimm 10:31, 19 March 2011 (CET)

Why do the left boxes keep getting smaller --Vulcanus2 21:03, 23 March 2011 (CET)

Do you mean the main page? It's browser dependent.

Do you mean other pages: I need an example or link?

Wiimm 21:13, 23 March 2011 (CET)

Main page, damn update of chrome. --Vulcanus2 14:39, 24 March 2011 (CET)

If have set min-width: http://de.selfhtml.org/css/eigenschaften/positionierung.htm#min_width (german)

I thought only IE 6 can't handle it, but others have problems too. I'll search for a solution.

Created new template

Under Construction

This article is not finished. Help improve it by adding accurate information or correcting grammar and spelling.

Lists of tracks

I think it is wise to have only one List of Custom Battle Tracks. If there anyone are much more battle tracks we can divide it in to sub lists.

Wiimm 15:07, 19 March 2011 (CET)

There is already a List of Custom Battle Arenas... Who created another?

Delete pages

How do you delete a page? Asking Wiimm or Tock to?

Clear all content and mark it with: [[category:delete]]

Graphic Formats

Missing SVG. Will import some wikpedia grapics. Hanno 07:33, 23 March 2011 (CET)

Main Page

Isn't it supposed to update automatically as the number of pages increase?

If I remember right not all pages are counted. There are some requirements like size and not redirect. If you look here Special:AllPages you can count 194 pages.

Some things are a huge mess

Wimm, for example, sometimes write wrong track names in his distribution lists, people write many names for the same person (such as Cagnouto and Teknik, or Guil who has 4 names).

And we have some stuff such as Warios Lair and Daisys Garden. I didn't knew that there were many Warios and Daisys around. I thought that those tracks were Wario's and Daisy's, but it looks like there are many of then

For my part I know the reasons very well:

I started to collect CT in February 2010. I have different sources in the internet. I Always store names like "ct name RC9 (author) [my comments].szs". All secondary infos (also the wiki track lists) are developed by using this naming (I'm a script king). Because of different sources I found different names and authors of the same tracks and some of them are wrong. In october I found mariokartwii.com and since then I fix the names.

In december 2010 I developed my first public CT distribution. I decided to insert the authors names as part of the track names. Because of spacing problems (in szs and while printing) I have to shorten the names. One way was to remove the trailing numbers and some other pre- and postfixes because they are not needed to identify the authors.

Now we have the this wiki and it will help me and others to have unique names for tracks and authors. See it as slow progress. I will rename my files every time I found a (confirmed) mistake.

Why do I get credits for a course I've never heard of before? It's megaworld.

kHacker35000vr 19:35, 27 March 2011 (CEST)

I got the info from here: http://www.mariokartwii.com/f72/course-slots-special-features-71102.html Wiimm 19:42, 27 March 2011 (CEST)

Teknik likes getting other people's courses, modifying almost nothing in then (or sometimes even nothing), renaming then and calling then his (hers?). Other people then think that those mods were made by the original track authors. I personally hate this, and I think you and the other track creators do too. Igorseabra4 01:12, 28 March 2011 (CEST)

Users and Authors

We should distinguish between authors and wiki users.

• Authors should have pages in the normal namespace (e.g. page "xyz" for Author "xyz").
• Wiki users have pages un the user namespace (e.g. page "user:xyz" for user "xyz").
• Authors that are also wiki user should/may set a redirect from the authors page to the user page.
• Author links in all articles are made by using [[xyz]] and not using [[user:xyz|xyz]]
• Author pages should be in category "Author".
