Drakalu Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Located the template/stub created on Ufopaedia for the new game and will start updating it with confirmed information from the various videos and screenshots available. I've used Ufopaedia.org for years and would love to see it continue to be a source of information for more people going forward. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Well, great! A lot of info to be added, finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I found the section here as well as on the UFOPaedia homepage but I must admit I first assumed it would be listed on the sidebar along with the missing Interceptor and Enforcer. I'm guessing they're not listed as the sections aren't hugely populated, but it's a chicken and egg scenario - if it's not obvious any content is there and even I'm stupid enough to scroll down and see it then I think it could do with being listed on the sidebar (however that's done - my Wiki skills are rusty!).

heniv181 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 The Firaxis XCOM: Enemy Unknown (2012) section is on the way, Hobbes have made a good foundation and I am adding what I can to the site. There is some strage use of templates that I don't understand though (Template:EU_2012 follow the same standard) but I dont know why there isn't just normal page includes (:EU_2012) since no variables is used in the templates.

heniv181 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Could you explain it better?If I remember correctly. A template is a special page in a wiki that can take one or several variables/inputs.Lets say I have Template:Flag, and on another page i write {{Flag|sweden}} then the template will put a swedish flag on that page. More info: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:TemplateMy example: https://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Template:Flag You can include pages into other pages using something call transclusion (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion) without the need for a template.

Hobbes Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 There's a few of those templates but most (at least me) are just used to give the skeleton for tables and so forth. Do you suggest any chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you suggest any chances?No, we need not to change anything that is working. Just perhaps stop the practice to use Templates on pages where Tranclusion is sufficent (on new pages).
