NKF:Talk
Welcome to NKF Talk. Pardon the mess.
The NKF-Centric TO-DO-List of Doom
- "X-Com Apocalypse Starter's Guide" - kind of there. Kind of not there.
Total Randomness
UFO Base Kit
The UBK is a transclusion template I created so that you could plug base layouts into your articles and discussions. Go see the template and its documentation at Template:UBK to see how to use it.
Stats Card (complete)
Well, it has been ages since I thought about making a stat cheat sheet, and not knowing how to organize it without making it overly confusing has kept me behind. But with all the wonderful stuff that came with the recent Mediawiki software updates, and getting some ideas from Madned's infobox templates followed by a crash course in understanding named parameters over the last few days, it's there. Kind of. Check it out on the Lobsterman page.
It's not the fancy GI-Joe style action figure dossiers that I envisaged below, but I guess it's sufficiently functional. Of course, as with the nature of wikis, it needs to be perpetually improved!
One future plan is to create a separate infobox style template to create multiple-column rank/difficulty combination data tables. -NKF 03:46, 13 January 2011 (EST)

This is a staggering creature, taller than a man and boasting six limbs, it resembles nothing more than an aquatic Demon. The similarities between this creature and the Earth lobster have earned it the nickname of Lobsterman with the X-Com troops. This is a behemoth of the deep. A carefully designed fighting creature of incredible strength and practically invulnerable to missile fire. Its pincers alone can crush steel. |

Autopsy
Once past its virtually indestructible shell the creature is an amazing construction. Powerful muscles ripple around a titanium skeleton, a sophisticated targeting system with multi-band scanning ability is hooked directly into the creature's brain. Its multiple eyes are protected by harder than steel plastics and it is clear that when well deployed by their masters these creatures are all but unstoppable. Buried deep in its body are devices of unknown construction and function. |
Clean up
Wiped old discussion for brevity. Cleanup of the vandalism of the Russian pages has been resolved for the moment. Will keep a watchful eye out for further abuse of the the wiki. Thank you. -NKF 07:17, 26 October 2010 (BST)
Test of Gallery markup
Now with adjustments
Note to self: The new wiki software is really case sensitive these days! A good thing in one respect.
Spam
I'd recommend adding the following extensions to the wiki's installation, if you can get hold of the person who runs the wiki:
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam#IP_address_blacklists
And blocking open proxies: set $wgEnableSorbs = true; in your LocalSettings.php
While we're at it, it would be really nice to add http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SphinxSearch since the default Mediawiki search engine sucks.--Ethereal Cereal 02:06, 29 January 2011 (EST)
