Thank you, Oguutan!

Thank you, Oguutan! Your hard work is noted and appreciated. Updating publication entries can sometimes be a thankless job, so your focus on making the GURPS articles up to date, is especially appreciated. Thank you again! Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 13:09, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

It seemed a reasonable place to start!

There's a couple of things I'm a little confused by, perhaps someone can let me know if there are any answers.

I've uploaded some images for the covers of the Deck Plan SJG Booklets that didn't have them (now 1-4 and 6 e.g. Deck Plan 1: Beowulf). I can get the images to show up on the entries for the booklets themselves, but I can't see how to then get the image to show up on the Steve Jackson Games page. As far as I can tell, they have the same content and Categories as Deck Plan 5: Sulieman and its image. The lists seem to be generated by templates, but I can't work out how the templates pick up the right items.

The list is generated by a wiki process called Dynamic Page List (DPL). In order to conserve processing power DPL caches results for some of the lists which don't change often. The Book Image List template is one. I can manually force the list to update, otherwise the internal processes update the list sometime in the future. If you notice another template like this which should be updated, let me know and I'll give the process a push. Tjoneslo (talk) 19:51, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

The second item is how/why the sub-headings are done on articles. I've tended to do them however the existing article was marked up, but I don't really understand why each sub-heading includes the full name (and more) of the article. Surely that is redundant information that just adds to the bulk of the page. It also makes it more difficult to use the headings in the "Contents" list as anchors on the page to direct links in from outside as a link could be something like Zhodani#History & Background (which only takes you to the top of the page as the subheading is not complete) but instead would have to be Zhodani#Zhodani (Sophont) History & Background (Dossier)(which will take you to the desired location on the page).

I've added a Forum:Page layout templates and formats page for discussing this further. Tjoneslo (talk) 19:51, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

I'm not trying to throw my ideas around as a newcomer. I'm sure there is a reason for doing it the way it is, so I'd appreciate it if somebody could explain it so that I can better implement the style. OGuutan (talk) 18:06, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

Hi Oguutan! I will respond to your inquiries later when I have more time. Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 19:43, 27 April 2015 (EDT)
