Starship Compendium

[Evaders99]

Help us get our Starship Compendium up-to-date

http://swmods.swrebellion.com/wiki/Starship_Compendium

 

It's a wiki, so the format may be weird. But we have an extensive template system and hopefully we can get this updated with all the latest sources

[Karpman]

Thanks XD

[deadmanliveon]

how the heck do you put up new ships i have no clue

[Evaders99]

Would be nice if you checked your PMs

 

 

----------

 

 

I see you tried adding to the list. Most of the lists are dynamically-generated... not easy, but very powerful.

Basically what you want to do is add a new ship page

 

Start with the wiki base address and add the ship name

http://swmods.swrebellion.com/wiki/Shipname

If the page doesn't exist, you'll get a page to "edit this page"

 

Once you get to edit, I would copy and existing ship page. There is a template that you can fill out

for example

http://swmods.swrebellion.com/wiki/Aggressor_Destroyer

and select "edit this page"

 

Copy that text and modify as appropriate

 

Categories define how it is listed.

All of them have the category ship

[[Category:Ships]]

And others may include the type, era, affiliation, etc

For example

[[Category:Zann Consortium]]
[[Category:Original Trilogy]]
[[Category:Post ROTJ]]
[[Category:Destroyer]]

 

Eville Jedi seems to use the affiliation of Separatists, but you may be more correct is using CIS - which probably should be spelled out as Confederacy of Independent Systems.

We'll have to decide what our correct usage will be

[Evaders99]

I want to pull some common categories we want to use and get some consensus on usage. Please advise on what you want change and what it needs to change to. This may take some time to do one-by-one, as most of the entries were derived from usage from Eville Jedi's database.

 

GENERAL USAGE

 

Overall category: Ships, Infantry, Vehicles

 

By Source:

(these are always pulled with the appropriate Template: source)

http://swmods.swrebellion.com/wiki/Category:Sources

 

By Affiliation:

http://swmods.swrebellion.com/wiki/Category:Affiliations

 

By Manufacturer:

http://swmods.swrebellion.com/wiki/Category:Manufacturers

 

By Eras:

http://swmods.swrebellion.com/wiki/Category:Eras

Is Clone Wars distinct from the Prequel era?

 

By Ship Type:

http://swmods.swrebellion.com/wiki/Category:Ship_Types

 

 

For Infantry, looks like we're adding a Homeworld category. Is that necessary given some may be manufactured on other worlds? Multiple droid factories, etc?

And I'm assuming some are not necessarily manufactured. Should be listing Clone facilities, etc?

[deadmanliveon]

i agree on this evaders and i do urge other people to really help out this has a great potential to be something big

[Evaders99]

More questions:

 

Do we need define infantry type (droids, clones, etc)? Or how about division by class (commando, scout, etc)?

 

 

Here's a hint

http://swmods.swrebellion.com/wiki/Category:Infantry

You can easily start by typing the new article name in "Create an Article to this category"

[deadmanliveon]

we could do both it wont hurt anyone

[Evaders99]

Doing a lot of updates... sourcing from the SW:CCG images

I want to pull more from SW TCG as well. More the merrier

 

I added the addon to do citations, if you need it

<ref>http://yoursite</ref>


and at the bottom

==References==
<references/>

[deadmanliveon]

that would be pretty helpful i also have a new idea

 

what if we put links to games and mods that the unit was in?

[Evaders99]

That's exactly what I'm hoping it could be used for, esp with different interpretations of ships. One mod team could look here, realize there may be a model some other mod is using.. go to them and ask for it. I know Eville Jedi gets pinged for his models.... so I want to be able to host them here at some point with screenshots, specs, etc.

[deadmanliveon]

thats a good thought too to be able to put links to available models

[Evaders99]

Added some SWTCG sources. I didn't add all the cards, just the ones that would help source some of the Episode 3 material

 

Would love someone to start sourcing from the books, mainly the Cross Sections book or the Starships source books.

[Evaders99]

Thanks Haerzog

 

The template system isn't as difficult as you'd think. The usage part of the template has exactly what you should copy... but you have to edit it and copy that into the new article.

 

As an example, check out your space station page

http://swmods.swrebellion.com/wiki/Esseles_Space_Station

[Evaders99]

Here's how to create new articles with the template

 

http://swmods.swrebellion.com/wiki/index.php?title=NEWSHIP&action=edit&preload=Template:Ships/Preload

 

Replace NEWSHIP with whatever the ship name is going to be
