10 sectors megawad
As you might have seen, I’m flooding the wiki with screenshots of Plutonia. I tried a little to play 10 sectors at HTNR and it might be doable for me. Can you prepare the 32 articles about it like the others megawad ones? Thanks. There’s no hurry, I didn’t even begin to play 10 sectors seriously. Ducon 18:57, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I’m at map18 in 10sectors, I take photographs like a slacky tourist. Ducon 19:03, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry for not getting back in touch with you yet. -- Jdowland 13:53, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Per your request, you now have sysop rights. You're not expected to perform any particular duties, just not to go nuts ;-) - Fredrik 17:57, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Re-organising deep water and invisible floor trick pages.
Done. I think we should list these methods on the trick list below their type. Should we include a section about compatibility on the layout of the tricks? It would be a good idea to include a screenshot with remarks of the editor view, too. CarlosHoyos 21:23, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Excellent! I don't know why that was suddenly bothering me, but thank you. Ryan W 20:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Reformatted footnotes in speedrun style pages
Hm, that's a good idea! Do you think the corresponding tables in individual map/episode articles (which are outdated anyway, but I'll get to that) should link to these pages, or have their own lists? The second way requires us to maintain multiple sets of footnotes in parallel, but the first way would result in some mighty awkward numbering (unless there's a way around that in the template). Ryan W 00:26, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

I think it might be good to create some similar Ref/Note templates, with some different properties. E.g. for that page, if we know that all the notes are going to be in sequential order, we could make the template use hash-list markup. Also, in the case where there are multiple references to one note (e.g. '1' on that page) the '^' link goes only to the first one, so, there's room for improvement :)


 * I've seen people post baccalaureate theses to the web, e.g., in which one chapter appears on each page, and footnotes are given in the form "^ Bridgeman 225-228", where the "^" links to a common bibliography on its own page. (To return to the text, the reader just hits their "back" button, which I imagine a good 98 percent of them do reflexively on these pages already.)  How would that suit us, do you think?

As for linking the map/episode articles in, I'm not sure what the best approach would be here, but I'm in favour of a solution which has the data only defined in one place, if such a solution exists. -- 82.39.115.248 12:08, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
