TJonesLo Response
Thank you for all of your hard work and wonderful contributions. I apologize about not getting back to you as quickly as I should. Tjoneslo (talk) 13:00, 9 January 2015 (EST)
You're very welcome, Thomas. I mostly wanted to be in contact to make sure I am following the rules that you set down for the site. I've read all the guidelines and have experience with Wikis. Please contact me if I'm doing anything wrong. I want to be a cooperative member of the community. (talk) 10:03am, 9 January 2015 (PST)
"Show Preview" Function
- The only thing I might suggest is using the "Show Preview" button (below the editing screen). It may make your editing go a little faster. The preview shows the page as rendered, and leaves the editor at the bottom of the page. Just don't forget to press "Save page" when done.

Correct way to delete pages
The correct way to delete pages is to include a {{delete}} template at the top of the page.
However, if you have made a mistake in the name of the page (spelling error, capitalization, etc) the correct way to fix this is to move the page. You, as a registered user, should have access to the move page. If you look at the menu bar at the top of the wiki page, just to the left of the search box is a down pointing arrow. Click on that, and it should show a sub-menu with "move" on it. Click on that, and it will take you to a Special:MovePage page. Where you can enter a new name for the page. And supply a reason.
The Move page is preferred because it keeps the page history which is important for historical purposes.
Tjoneslo (talk) 11:41, 5 February 2015 (EST)
Right on, Tjoneslo. Will use "Move" function. Thanks. Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 11:46, 5 February 2015 (EST)
Editing user pages
These are personal space. Please leave them to the user (even if they are no longer with us) to edit and format as they see fit. Tjoneslo (talk) 11:21, 30 January 2015 (EST)
Ok. Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 11:24, 30 January 2015 (EST)
Hi Tjoneslo, I am now getting permission before editing these sorts of things. Thank you, Thomas, for the good advice and guidance. Really appreciate the tip off. I had no idea they were regarded as you have shared. Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 13:50, 1 February 2015 (EST)
Hi, it's Ron, what did I do wrong now?
Hi Ronald B. Kline, Jr., you did nothing wrong. I would simply like to chat with you off-board. Would you please contact me off-board using E-mail at "Maksim_Smelchak" at that Yahoo place. Thanks! Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 03:33, 3 February 2015 (EST)
I attempted to send you an email, any luck w/that?
Hi Ronald B. Kline, Jr., yes. I sent you a response. Thanks! Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 05:21, 11 February 2015 (EST)
Unconventional Article Format
I don't think it's a good idea to introduce a new article format without discussing it first. I, for one, would not have approved. The basic idea is that we try to keep articles so like actual in-setting library data as we can (subject to various practical limits). The multiple headlines and parentheses makes the articles seem overly busy and quite disquieting to me. It also makes them stylistically different from the 7000 previous articles.

Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 18:38, 29 January 2015 (EST)
- My first thought is to put this table at the top of the Settings page as a quick summary, then using the rest of the text on the page to expand the definitions. Tjoneslo (talk) 19:50, 29 January 2015 (EST)
Hi Tjoneslo, would you please copy and paste (place) the table where you think where you think it would be most appropriate? Please feel free to modify/edit the table if you have anything to add to it. Thanks for all of your feedback and help! With best regards, M. Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 14:20, 1 February 2015 (EST)

Two small requests
First, in the previous incarnation of the wiki we discouraged the creation of the empty world articles. If you are going to create these articles, please do two things:
- look up the canon world information on TravellerMap and include it in the UWP template. This would include the UWP (parameters uc, popc, zonec if needed), and the primary, belts, and GGcount parameter values.
- Add the summary paragraph included in the other world articles. It should be pretty obvious how that was written.
Second, I would like to ask to try the "Show Preview" functionality when you edit articles. I know it is a different workflow. Do this by pressing the "Show Preview" button (rather than the "Save Page" button) while you are editing the article. This will show the article as it would appear, and you can continue to edit it. The reasons for this is to keep the Recent Changes list a little smaller, which makes reviewing it for changes (like the talk page requests) faster and easier.
Thanks. Tjoneslo (talk) 18:47, 6 May 2015 (EDT)
- Yes, Tjoneslo, I will work on both points. I don't always have access to the traveler map so I may have to do those tasks at two different times in stages. Thanks. Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 01:29, 7 May 2015 (EDT)
- Do you have a spreadsheet listing of all of the worlds? Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 01:29, 7 May 2015 (EDT)
- I do not. I download the complete sector data files from the original source: Zarushagar sector data Tjoneslo (talk) 08:23, 7 May 2015 (EDT)
- Honestly, I'm not 100% sure how the summary was written. I can guess, but would appreciate an explanation when you get a chance as I'm not sure. Please. Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 01:31, 7 May 2015 (EDT)
- The format is:
- A <Remarks> world located in the <subsector link> of <sector link>. <world name link> is a member of <polity link>[, and serves as the capital|sector capital|subsector capital]. [The system hosts a Naval Base|Scout Base.]
- The <Remarks> are a list of the Trade classification code names, based upon the codes in the world. For example, if the remarks for the world are "Lo Ni Po", the <remarks> should read "Low population, non-industrial, poor".
- The text in the brackets "[]" should be included only if it applies to that world.
- If you have specific questions about this, let me know.
- Thank you for your work Tjoneslo (talk) 08:23, 7 May 2015 (EDT)
- The format is:
Thanks Thomas, I appreciate your time and patience and I get up to speed in assisting you with this colossal project. As an aside, I have been involved with all of the Wiki projects as an unregistered user and "lurker". I decided this year that I would register and do more than small-level grammar edits. I would try to be a major asset to the site. Thank you for helping me to fulfill this goal and really cooperate and collaborate with you and the others. Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 08:30, 7 May 2015 (EDT)
