== Category "News" Forum ==Today the [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum Forum] opened its gates. I felt it was necessary because the discussion system of the Wiki is not adequate... It is not meant to replace every talk page, but it's good for general discussion topics :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 09:06, 22 November 2006 (CET) == Sidebar links == There is a little problem with the pages linked only in the sidebar: they only appear on the default mediawiki theme...There is a list here: [[special:lonelypages]]Link them from somewhere else :) ::Ah yes, you're right and I have noticed it myself - though I don't know why anyone would use some other theme, I think this is the best by far :D Anyhow, I'm just waiting to move servers, when this is done I'll look after such details... thanks for pointing out!!! [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 10:03, 28 July 2006 (CDT)
If we start to add the news to own categories we should avoid naming the news article with "News:" as prefix, :There is still 14 orphaned pages... and i prefer using another theme because in the category listing everything would appear under the letter 'N'i use a browser without css support.. The same problem occurs with programming articles (prefix "Programming:"). Maybe we should remove And what is the prefix from this articles? --difference between [[User:Octoate|OctoateApplications]] 10:12, 28 August 2006 (CEST)and Utilities ?: Uh::You are right, good question... Somehow I like these prefixes, and as there are already sorted lists we even don't need will move the categories at all, but on Utilities to the other hand you are also right. Don't know... Apps and mark them to be deleted! -- [[User:ProdatronOctoate|ProdatronOctoate]] 1310:5913, 28 11 August 2006 (CEST)

::::Ok, have noticed the Wink with the Zaunpfahl :-) and i will do my job tomorrow, if i find time :-)
:::::Ok, I removed it. Happy, y'all? :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:00, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
:::::Ahh Gryzor did it :) So what? [[User:81.90.35.80|81.90.35.80]] 11:20, 24 September 2006 (CEST)
== Mainpage and Sidebar ==
:::: The Bastard is me, I would guess. As I said, the reason for rolling it back is that under the short form, there is simply NO NEED for the sidebar. The sidebar is there for the reader to be able to navigate quickly to all parts of the wiki without having to go to the main page. It is NOT useless, certainly NOT unwanted (I use it all the time instead of the main page links) and I doubt it's annoying - the space is empty if you don't put links there, so it goes wasted. The Main Page is NOT the place to put links on and is much harder to use than the sidebar. Unorganized? I wouldn't think so - the structure is quite ok right now, if anyone can think of ways to improve it, please do step forward. It's not even wild, since it has been tamed a lot since its first appearance, and definitely not unorganized - see the little boxes that organise it? :p [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 09:49, 30 August 2006 (CEST)
== DiscussionNew main page == I was so free and reorganized the complete main page into the usual "wiki style".So the complete link list ("CPCWiki portal") has its own page now - we should improve this page, Suggestionsthat nearly all articels can be found there directly or indirectly.Regarding the new main page maybe we can add even more sections like "article of the month" or something like this. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 02:40, 1 September 2006 (CEST) :Great. I like the new wikilike design. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 09:58, 1 September 2006 (CEST) ::I am pleased to hear that! We just need to take care about the up-to-dateness. As an example, every one, who is inserting a new entry in the news section should also update the main page. I would also like to suggest and add some guidelines, which describe, what and how to add entries to the different sections in the main page to prevent uncontrolled growth. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:24, 1 September 2006 (CEST) ::: I like the new layout as well, it's meaningful and nicely put, although I think it can use a little cleaning over time :) I'm a bit confused as to how news etc works, though, it currently seems to be all over the place and it's difficult to maintain it for someone who doesn't know exactly how... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:37, 1 September 2006 (CEST):::: Regarding the news I will write a suggestion for the guidline how to insert new news. In general you have a headline, which have to be placed to the news (max 10 entries), the news archive (unlimited) and the main page (max 3 entries). The headline is the article name where you write the news itself + links to the source and the category (month). -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 20:58, 1 September 2006 (CEST) == Main Page Talk picture of the main page ==Gryzor, why have you modified the photo of the main page with the ancient one ? If this wiki is related to cpc, i guess it's not only the cpc 464 and the whole cpc range is concerned...Almost the 464 photo seemd truncated and overlayed by a line. Longshot --[[User:195.154.167.66|195.154.167.66]] 14:53, 23 November 2006 (CET) You have reverted modification without any answer about my contrib here about that...I won't to waste time to update this picture again. Gryzor, you're the main contributor of this site but i think your method is not fair, especially on a site built mainly by contributors.--[[User:Longshot|Longshot]] 13:17, 24 November 2006 (CET) : Well. I reverted it to the older version because I assumed there is something wrong with the image, that's all. For some reason the "range" photo won't appear, and I tried it fromt wo different computers and different browsers. Can you try reuploading the image under a new filename and changing the main page? Also, the 464 pic does appear fine for me - tried with Firefox, Opera, IE. As you can see it's not a matter of being 'unfair' - it's a technical issue, despite the fact that I like the 464 one better :):PS try to remember to log in before doing any changes.... :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 19:36, 24 November 2006 (CET) ::Sorry for the misunderstanding. About the range photo it's strange because i've any problem with ie or firefox (my personal pc) or crazy browser on my professional pc. This picture is a scan i'd modified in 2001 and coming from my site. I've compressed the picture with a newer version of image ready from 53kb to 29.2 kb and i try to upload it again under a new name. Please let me know if the problem occurs again...--[[User:Longshot|Longshot]] 11:46, 26 November 2006 (CET)
Now we have:* [[Discussion]]* [[Suggestions]]* [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page Talk:Main_Page]In the sidebarIt appears ok now, "discussion page" is but I scaled the main page talk, on the main page "discussion" is the discussion page. Maybe we should clean this up thumbnail down a little bit or create some definitions, what to write where? -- because it was a big too big... thanks![[User:ProdatronGryzor|ProdatronGryzor]] 2218:3211, 29 August 26 November 2006 (CESTCET)
== 8bit Wiki leadership CPC taking a day off ==
Just for your motivation, it seems that very soon we are becoming Is the biggest Wiki project for any 8bit machine ever! :CPC still in vacation? ;-) Let's beat this left one: [http://www.c64-wiki.de/index.php/Hauptseite] and then Maybe we are could remove the number 1! Thanx a lot picture, to all for your contributions! An especial "thank you" goes to Gryzor (project initiator), Kanagaroo (hoster) and all make the very active persons like CPCLER, Ythcal, etc... (sad, that there is no "contribution top 10" as info boxes below accessible in a "special page")better way again. Did you ever think, that this great project would become SO sucessfullAre maybe someone has an idea for an other cool frontpage motive? -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 0022:5936, 1 18 September 2006 2007 (CEST)
