Talk:Main Page
I moved (renamed) the entries on the different types of cannons to singular form (Combustion cannon, Hybrid cannon etc), it's standard in wikis and makes linking much easier. Edit: removed capitalization in the titles as well, should not be used unless neccessary (such as in person names) since wiki is picky about capitals. I put redirects in place. --GalFisk 18 October 2005 04:22 (CDT)
Formatting
Question: should the preferred formatting of lists be like that on the cannon pages
*item 1 *item 2 *etc
or the default one, like this
- item 1
- item 2
- etc
The second one is more common, but the first one has precedence on this page. I prefer the second one since it's more integrated with the rest of the text (same font/size) and think the other should be reserved for ascii drawings and the like that needs a monospace font. It would be nice to have a rule either way though, have the pages edited to correspond to that rule, and so set a consistant basis for future articles. -- GalFisk 18 October 2005 09:04 (CDT)
Whatever you please
If you think the second way is better then go with it. I'm still trying to get used to using a Wiki and it seems that you've been on more than be so you've had more experience.
Have fun :)
Thanks a lot.
- Ok, I'll change the formatting in the affected articles to the way I like it then. I've edited a bit on Wikipedia and I enjoyed it, I'll be adding/fixing stuff here whenever I feel like it.
- I see that the box formatting can creep in by simply custting and pasting from Wikipedia, it's created by adding a space in front of a line and that can creep in during that operation for some reason.
- You can sign your posts by putting three tildes (~~~) at the end, or sign it with date using four tildes. Remember to be logged in then of course. Preview is a good tool when trying out stuff.

duplicate articals
There are multiple articals that are exactly the same, but with slightly different names. What's up with this?
