March Task Ideas (2016)
Steve, would you like some extra jobs? There's lots to do. What you're doing is great, very much appreciated, and more than enough, but, if you are willing, I could give you some jobs that need to be done. Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 21:30, 29 February 2016 (EST)
- More jobs? I just found a treasure drove of material that I'm digging my way through... What is it you have in mind?
- I suppose I'm kind of what I'd like to think how you do things.. "Hey, that needs work.. why not" ..kind of unfocused in a way.Ssteve (talk) 21:55, 29 February 2016 (EST)
- I like that too, Steve. I see it as a sort of immersion exercise. Here are some ideas:
- Update sector pages to latest layout. I can transfer the layout to you if you like or show you where the layout I use is.
- Fill in the demography parts of sector pages.
- Fill in the territorial comparison parts of sector pages.
- Help to create Solomani Rim sectors. Input worlds.
- I am currently finishing up Massilia and its related domain.
- Update older world layouts to the latest layouts. Sectors like Reaver's Deep, Iliesh, and Zarush were my first so many of those need updating.
- Update the citation and source pages to Thomas's latest development.
- Further develop timelines for:
- 3I
- Sol Confed
- Zhod Cons
- Those are a few ideas off the top of my head.
- What you are doing is great. Thanks!

April 2016
I had noticed over on Avery's Visitor Message page on COTI you had asked about a spreadsheet of all of the Noble Patent Cards given out by Marc through FFE. I mentioned to Maksim-Smelchak of the existence of the following google-doc by Bloo from COTI. It is freely editable by anyone:
- Traveller Patents of Nobility:
- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mRGZE7RZZJrchoaudEX9-wXeZTTJves6ohYiigK2STU/edit#gid=0
- The tabs at the bottom include a page that lists all known Knightly Orders, as well as all of the known T5/COTI Noble Patent Card holders (by Domain), who they belong to, and any "Character Name" to which they have been assigned.
It is not necessarily a complete listing, but it is extensive, and you should be able to export and save it as an Excel Spreadsheet.

Uploading the Empty Quarter data
I've gotten the automated upload of the stellar data templates into the world/data pages. Would it help if uploaded all the data for Empty Quarter sector? Tjoneslo (talk) 14:25, 24 April 2016 (EDT)
- Go for it...and show me how; it'll make this go a whole lot faster (except for maybe those duplicate world names...
- One quick question on this; will this overwrite the existing world data? I noticed that some of the worlds already have text in the body of the articles. How will that get handled?
- The upload process only writes the {{StellarData...}} template to the "xxx (world)/data" page, and only replaces the "Era=milieu 1116" one. So it's pretty careful not to delete any data. The only thing this does is update the {{StellarDataQuery}} section of the world page. What would be good would be is if there are duplicate world names to make sure the Disambiguation pages are in place. The upload process checks this to generate the unambiguous world names. Tjoneslo (talk) 14:50, 24 April 2016 (EDT)
- like I said; GO FOR IT!
- I've upload a number of pages, but discovered that I wouldn't upload the data base if the corresponding world page did not exist. Which do you like better: Generate a default world page for these missing pages or let you create the pages and upload the data set again? Tjoneslo (talk) 16:29, 24 April 2016 (EDT)
- So the world page needs to exist first? Would just loading a blank world page (as long as the world name is the same as in the data set) be sufficient (Such as Uenkakh (world))?
- I just noted that you also need the StellarDataQuery on the page...
- I just finished uploading the worlds for the Empty Quarter sector. For any of the missing pages the upload created pages with a default (simple) template and the {{StellarDataQuery}} as needed. The pages need an update, but this should be simpler for you to work though the worlds. Let me know if you need any help. Tjoneslo (talk) 19:44, 24 April 2016 (EDT)
Allegiance code
There is a sub page for each code: Allegiance Code/CsIm or Allegiance Code/ImDd. When adding a new (or missing) code, create the new sub-page. On the page add a Template:AllegianceCode. For example:
{{AllegianceCode
|code=CsIm
|shortCode=Cs
|description=Client State
|detail = Third Imperium
|notes=
}}
And save the page. That's it. If you have questions about specific allegiances, create the page and put a note on the talk page. Tjoneslo (talk) 23:10, 6 May 2016 (EDT)
- Special:CargoTables/AllegianceCode -> You can see the whole list here. The other Cargo tables work in a similar fashion: View table: TradeSummary, View table: Sophonts, and View table: StellarData. Each has a template associated to manage the data. Tjoneslo (talk) 07:41, 7 May 2016 (EDT)
