Talk:Ship Equipment
I Think this is one of the more important pages (At least Twinpedia's page is where I figured out where the oxygen tanks were located.) I like how Twinpedia has everything laid out, but I think a second listing at the top of page with all the items listed alphabetically as well... is that possible with wikipedia formatting? Also, I think it would be neat to do a clickable map of Dandelous to navigate to different "rooms" for the equipment.
What do you think? Should I stop asking and just put something up, or is something in the works already?
- There's no tag on it so I'd say go for it, but put a tag on it so others know. A map would be amazing, if you know/can figure out how to make that happen via formatting. If you can figure out how to get it started I'd be happy to help fill it in later. Rain (talk) 11:04, 9 December 2013 (MST)
I've started with a basic lay out of where stuff will go - Next I'll add in tables that describe equipment. If we have a map of the ship uploaded, I can make a clickable map, or I can make one/ask someone who's made one for permission when I get to that step. I put the stuff names in from twinpedia/my memory, so if I got it wrong feel free to fix it, or I'll edit it as I wander around my ship.

I have the basic lay out of where info will go - still working on details. In particular, I need to add hotlinks to the Engine equipment in the listed by name because i'm pretty sure I got some of the equipment named wrong. I also did not add the special equipment like cameras or drones, nor any spaceships. I see we have a map - I'll start working on a clickable map for next structure update. Delzoup (talk)
I assume by Tabulator you mean Tabulatrix (the thing Eleesha can print the list from)? That's an item (shows up in shelf). If you're going to list items, you might want to mention sofas, microwave, etc., but I think they should go on the Inventory page. Are you currently editing or can I correct some equipment names and add descriptions of things I examine in my current ship? —Cimanyd 15:10, 13 December 2013 (MST)
We can do either - we can either take it out, or mention other quasi-equipment with a redirect to the objects page. I'd perfer the latter, so that if someone thought it was equipment, that they can be redirected to objects. I'm done for now. Please, correct & Thank you!21:40, 13 December 2013 (MST)
Single Equipment pages
As you can notice by the flood in the Recent changes, I have a project of creating single pages for each equipment of this ship. Help to create these pages would be much appreciated :). The system of templates is up and running, it should be stable (with exceptions for the look&feel which might be improved, and for new options to deal with specific equipment I haven't foreseen)... so don't be afraid to use it!
How to do it:
- Create the page with the precise name of the equipment (say, "Astroterminal")
- Take the page of another equipment with similar properties (can be "Research Lab", "Shower",...), copy-paste the source.
- Edit the differences, first by using the data in this page, then the game/your memory (many equipment-related actions are not detailed in the wiki....). You can put "?" for unknown green jelly/sabotage chance.
- You can check Template:Equipment Attributes and Template:Action Details for a list of all possible options. Don't hesitate to ask for new ones (or edit yourself) if you think something is missing.
- Once the page is complete, insert the link in this page:
- Insert a row {{Equipment Link|Astroterminal}} before the |- corresponding to the current description of this equipment
- Look at the Preview, to check that both rows are almost similar
- Remove the old one and publish!
- Enjoy the happiness of having completed an important page of the wiki from scratch... and start again ;)
