Where did you get the information for the -10 Karma for that Rustle Brahmin quest?--Senornacho 05:38, 11 Feb 2005 (GMT)

I just tested it out. Mimir 05:38, 11 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go through and do that for the rest of them. :) --Senornacho 05:41, 11 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Sorry, I tested it out again. I have a save right there. When you first scare off Torr you lose 10 Karma. When you complete the quest, you lose an additional 50. Mimir 05:42, 11 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Template
Senornacho and Mimir, I see you're the main ones working with the items now, so what do you think of the template, check my tryout here: http://wiki.duckandcover.cx/index.php?title=.223_Pistol#Testing_template

That looks pretty good, Dan! How easy will it be to move the already existing items over to that format?--Senornacho 07:52, 11 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Just click on edit and see how I called the template up... Two lines of text is all that's needed.

Also, I made it align to the right so we can add comments on the left. Dan 07:56, 11 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Looks great. There are a lot of small tweaks it needs however. Firing Modes should be switched to Attack Modes, so we don't have to create separate articles for Guns and melee weapons. The different attack modes should go on separate lines. Range should be listed under the firing mode because it is sometimes different in the different modes. There might be a need for burst rounds. There should be a spot for damage type. There needs to be a spot for locations, this is not that important for most weapons, but it is very important for rare weapons. There should be a place for a description. It should list if the weapon is one-handed or two-handed. Weapon type isn't really necessary since it is listed in the category at the bottom. Some of these things aren't on any of the weapons right now, but they probably will need to be added. Mimir 08:00, 11 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Actually, the description and locations probably should not be in the template. It should probably be the text of each section. Mimir 08:13, 11 Feb 2005 (GMT)

I counted 29 spaces per template. There's probably an easier way, but I haven't the foggiest what it is. I'm out -- see ya tomorrow probably :) Senornacho 09:16, 11 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Capitalization
Do not overcapitalize. Names of articles and categories should be Fallout games, Fallout series, Fallout setting etc. not Fallout Games, Fallout Series and Fallout Setting. Ausir 18:53, 15 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Why? They're titles of categories and sections, surely they should have title capitals?Mr. Teatime 18:55, 15 Feb 2005 (GMT)

If it's overcapitalized it's harder to link to it in sentences. Besides, that's the Wikipedia policy, and it'd be a good idea to have the same editing policies as Wikipedia, so that at least some editors will be familiar with it. Ausir 20:42, 15 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Reporting "More Spam!"
This is n00b and rank amateur Mackie the Anal Retentive reporting for duty, happily correcting any misuse of punctuation. However, I seem to have found something which deserves a little extra attention. Here in Regulator transmission, if you check the most recent edit or so, you'll find a large pr0n spamming. Unfortunately it's by an IP address and not a registered user, but it might still be worth a look. I tried bringing this up with Ausir, but haven't received a response in quite a while. Thought I'd try other major contributors, as I really have no idea how to do anything but treat the symptoms. Mackie 05:46, 3 January 2007 (EST)
