What purpose can this have, when the whole page is Community Portal? Links to other pages related to OFP / ArmA?

I just tried to create a page for Quebec Special Forces, but I strongly suspect I screwed up somewhere along the line.  I tried to use the recommended template, but I apparently did something wrong as I do not see QSF listed in alphabetical order in the Multiplayer Squads list.  Could someone kindly move the abomination I created to the proper area?


What do we do with the mods list? I mean we'll get a pretty long list as soon as the wiki is open... any ideas? An extra page for community mods? Well, I think that we'll have full pages for certain mods soon also.
Thanks in advance.

We can create a mod category  and then each mod could have thier own sub category. I don't think we should include the word addon, that might indicate you can list every addon ever made or that can be made clear in the new category.

Looks like the war of the links has begun.
We just had a guy moving his site to the top.

I've redone the list in alphabetic order, is that the best solution?
I already made a objective page with all things that you can use to replace/enhance aspects of the game with, I think that if the mods and myself keep this up-to-date, it's enough addonlisting we do here.


There could, however, be a page where '''addon elements''' are highlighted and explained. For example the fact the Bronco addon had the first "Hud", and how it worked. If you combine the knowledge of addons such as a Hud, roping scripts, MFD's, ejection seats, non-reloadable AT launchers, and more of those extra's into a subcategory, it'd serve this wiki well.

About the moderation issue: I think you could start to scan the official forums now for candidates that are fit to do this. There are plenty of capable humans on the forum, and I am sure a wide variety of people will do this system good. Currently, I feel a little intimidated by the overdose of OFPEC-members here, but that's no big deal. The point is that this wiki will at some point live on itself, with Bis members only coming here to look for tiny errors about features and games.


Yes, definitely. Thanks for reporting & reordering.

If they continue to do it, we have to protect the page.


Do we really want to differ between "homapages" and Mod pages? I mean the only difference is that the homepages are "1-man-mods" and a Modpage has a full team... the homepages not related to OFP aren't too interesting for the community anyway.

We could make a subsection for Mission pages.
hope im not intruding on a private conversation here, i was just curious how willing you are for general users to add / edit important pages such as the [[:Category:Operation Flashpoint: Community Mod Pages|Operation Flashpoint: Community Mod Pages ]], as i noticed there is no section for ArmA mods, and there are a few floating around in production, so i was going to add it but i though id check first


Also we should think about to split the mod links a bit more (Total Conversion; East/West; WW2; Replacement; ...)

<hr>
Hmm, now the same guy has added his link back on the front page under Community Editing Sites
I don't think it'll work to have any direct links on the front page at all.


I don't see why we wouldnt have seperate mod pages for each mod.  This doesn't have to be a place where the down load exists but perhaps a summary of units, or history of the mod, perhaps who worked on it, external links, etc. See [[OFPEC]], this is the type of thing I would think we would see /encourage from mods. maybe we need definitions on differences between mod / plain old addons.
Everything will have to be sent into categories..


Re: missions, I don't think we should be adding or allowing people to add thier missions to the wiki, certainly we can include links to sites that hosts many missions where they are rated I think this would be acceptable. This would also encourage users to submit thier missions to these types of sites, both benefitting site ops, and the community as a whole. If you add selectively missions, which you think are good, then there could be some arugments about what everyone idea of good is.
--[[User:Salisan|Salisan]] 18:07, 20 July 2006 (CEST)


I think Mods should be split into a category on its own, and then sub categoried into types like you mentioned.
::::I added the new category skeleton for ArmA mods. I think as a policy/guideline we will stay with the alphabetical order for all pages that include community links to be fair to all. [[User:Hoz|hoz]]

Community News Links Order

I just tried to create a page for Quebec Special Forces, but I strongly suspect I screwed up somewhere along the line. I tried to use the recommended template, but I apparently did something wrong as I do not see QSF listed in alphabetical order in the Multiplayer Squads list. Could someone kindly move the abomination I created to the proper area?

Thanks in advance. -M9ACE

If the mods you want to add did never work on OFP stuff you can start the ArmA mod section. --raedor 21:23, 19 July 2006 (CEST)
