Guidelines – Bohemia Interactive Community talk

Videos

The question arose if people can/should upload videos. I think not, to save some of BI's traffic, as with videos it can get pretty fast pretty full. --raedor 18:43, 25 July 2006 (CEST)

Should add this to the proposal page. hoz

I'll add it to the proposal page but generalize it with the request for pbo, sqm etc. hoz

Updated Guidelines

Since I did some major work on the guidelines last night, and since it's hard to keep track of the changes via the "history" function when there are re-arrangements, here's a breakdown of what I did (apart from the grammatical and stylistic editing).

• Flaming: Put in an external link for flaming. A lot of people do not know what this is, so we better explain if we want them to avoid it.
• Images: Added example for meaningful image names.
• No Developer Questions:Split part of these guidelines off into the Discussion Pages and Writing an Article sections. Removed the highlighting for the "developers", as that made it seem like it's ok to ask anybody else, as long as you don't ask the developers directly.
• Created a Discussion Pages section, which received part of the content of the original "Talk Pages" section.
• Created a section on Writing an Article.
• Created a section called Create/edit Sections which received part of the content from the old "Talk Pages" and the "Use the section edit button" section.
• Use Full Names for Titles: Added an example to this section.
• Created a section recommding to Use the Preview button.
• Removed the section about "Templates", as that is a more advances issue, more suited for sysops and the Templates page.

Code guidelines

Should guidelines for correctly posting code be added?

For the scripting command template I modified the CSS that way, that <code> and <pre> tags don't make any visual difference. The difference between the two is that the first one allows wiki formatting, but requires also manual linebreaks with <br/>, while the second just lets you enter the code as you like, but doesn't allow links etc.

I think they are a very good and flexible way of posting code, since you know at the first instant that you are watching a piece of scripting code. I also think that this would be a candidate for a rule, so that people keep a certain standard. Thoughts? --hardrock 20:33, 3 August 2006 (CEST)

Footnote Guidelines

I can't seem to get footnotes into my pages using the MediaWiki <ref> tags? Is there a replacement or some other possible way? --CrashDome 20:41, 3 August 2006 (CEST)
