I would suggest to remove the 'Addons' item from the 'Editing BI Games' group, as the target article isn't about ''creating'' addons, but about ''using'' them (and that already has a nice, appropriate link in the [[:Category:Operation_Flashpoint | OFP article]] --[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 20:32, 20 July 2006 (CEST)
:I agree the Addons pages are a mess, they are very popular though [[Special:Popularpages]]. [[User:Hoz|hoz]] 18:11, 28 July 2006 (CEST)
::Perhaps we should move the link to the "Getting Help With BI Games" section (where it would fit in nicely with "Troubleshooting" & "Walkthroughs"). Since the target page is about the ''use'' of addons anyway, and since I somehow suspect that people are probably looking for info on how to use or find them, rather than how to ''make'' them, that might be a better place. --[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 19:15, 28 July 2006 (CEST)
== Virtual Tool Kit (VTK) ==
Are you going to add a VTK section?

: Virtual Tool Kit [http://www.virtualbattlespace.com/press_usmc_vtk.htm] is the expansion to VBS2 that BIA is developing for the USMC. [[User:Dinger|Dinger]] 17:02, 7 September 2006 (CEST)
:: Thanks for that Dinger, there isn't even a VTK page yet. So putting it on the main page is out of the question until there is some article with some substance. By all means go ahead and create a stub article and expand on it. [[User:Hoz|hoz]] 18:08, 7 September 2006 (CEST)

== Wiki Reorganization ==
Ok. I did the first part of reorganization and wanted to discuss here what to do next.
The current organization structure of the Editing parts looks like the following:
[[Image: Current_Wiki_Structure.png]]
Should we move the Mission Editing, Addon Editing and Terrain Editing sections together and only mark special articles with "ArmA:" or "OFP:" ? In the category Scripting Topics it is already this way, and I think it's quite fine.
[[Image: Future_Wiki_Structure_1.png]]
I think we could save a lot of organization work and double articles this way.
What do you think? Ok? Other suggestions? Leave it as is? --[[User:Hardrock|hardrock]] 02:47, 23 December 2006 (CET)
I like the idea. --[[User:Raedor|raedor]] 20:55, 23 December 2006 (CET)
:I think we should leave it the way it is, and concentrate on the ''content'', rather than the structure.
:With all this reshuffling every other week, nobody dares to touch any of the articles anymore. Nobody knows what's gonna happen to their contributions at the next shuffle, and nobody knows where the correct place is to put anything anymore.
:Yes, the current structure may not be "perfect" - but it is good enough for most people to understand, and that is all we need right now.
:There is more harm done in constantly changing things trying to improve to "perfection", rather than having some stability, and giving people a chance to familiarize themselves with it - to actually use it, and start submitting to it.
:But that is something that just won't happen unless there is some permanence. --[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 00:25, 24 December 2006 (CET)
