==BattleTech Project==
 
I was advised to inform you, in case of your interest or whatnot, in an independent project I started and have been working on for the past few days. I posted a link on reddit, found [http://www.reddit.com/r/battletech/comments/1q6nep/webbased_python_project_just_the_start/ link here] which was what originally drew interest and someone pointed me to you. In short, its a web-based, interactive map (presently) displaying the ownership of every planet (that I have data for [the current version uses ISCS, but I'm reaching out to other -apparently better- sources for map coords and whatnot]) and its location in the BT universe. I'm also working on some interesting / useful pieces of functionality to click on / mouse over each planet and get information/description for that planet and the planets within jump distance of that planet. If you want to get ahold of me, providing you have a reddit account, send me a message there.

==Rebecca "Spreadsheet" Taylor==
I noticed that the [http://www.sarna.net/wiki/MUX MUX link] on the left navigation bar is broken and links to a deleted page, so the link on the side should also be removed. -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 21:33, 6 October 2013 (PDT)

Excuse me Nic, never done this before, but how do I get Rebecca "Spreadsheet" Taylor added to the Canon character's page?  She's my late fiance and in Rec guide 12 [[User:Livewire2112|Livewire2112]] ([[User talk:Livewire2112|talk]]) 21:14, 12 May 2021 (EDT)

== Sarna.net Design Refresh ==
+
: Hello, Livewire. I am reasonably sure that if the character is canon (I don't have #12 yet), they will be added in some fashion. However, if you want to prime the pump a bit, and are not familiar with wikis, I'd recommend opening a similar character (maybe from an earlier ''Guide'') and starting an article named [[Rebecca Taylor]], copying all the stuff (text & code) over into the new article, changing everything that doesn't pertain and adding what is needed. Some other Editor will be sure to follow behind and correct any mistakes or add needed info. Good luck, and I'll be looking for the article (and the ''Guide'').--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 21:21, 12 May 2021 (EDT)
'''August 20, 2013''': The new visuals are live for all of Sarna. Please let me know if you have any feedback. There's additional talk about the refresh in the [[/Archive2013 | 2013 Archive]].[[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 16:22, 20 August 2013 (PDT)

: Update: [https://www.sarna.net/wiki/index.php?title=List_of_Clan_Invasion_Kickstarter_Characters&diff=prev&oldid=676150 The process has started], Livewire, thanks to [[User:Dmon|Dmon]].--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 22:07, 12 May 2021 (EDT)
''Hy Nic i copyied this talk from Mbears talk page'', please give us a statement about the new layout on the various Combat Vehicle pages, if it works or not or ideas.
 
  
Hi Mbear, can you take a look on the [[Heimdall (Combat Vehicle)]] page i changed the headers a little bit, my feeling is it looks much better and has a cleaner overview as our standard formating, what do you think? Ok iam be bold the new layout looks great, if it not become acceptance i revert me changes.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] ([[User talk:Doneve|talk]]) 16:48, 29 October 2013 (PDT)

== Potential issue in File:Götterdämmerung (system) 3151.svg ==
:I for one don't like the new layout, because it makes the headings as big as the title, which just looks wrong to me. Additionally, Wikipedia uses the two == layout and it works quite well. That's just my opinion; we need more people to chime in. -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 20:06, 29 October 2013 (PDT)

::There is no problem, we can change the headings size for the new layout, but a admin must do this, oh Bob the arcticle name size and the new heading size is the same, or iam wrong? I think not.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] ([[User talk:Doneve|talk]]) 20:32, 29 October 2013 (PDT)

Hi Nik,
:::If you look on Wikipedia, you'll see that section headings have a hairline that covers the width of the page. I do think it makes the article more readable. Any thoughts on adopting this here? --[[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] ([[User talk:Scaletail|talk]]) 20:09, 30 October 2013 (PDT)
+
 
::::I would prefer to keep the previous layout, where two equals (==) are used for headings. This corresponds with an H2 HTML tag.  One equal (=) is a H1 HTML tag, which should be reserved for the page title. [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 08:15, 7 November 2013 (PST)

While reviwing images without category, I found out this one File:Götterdämmerung (system) 3151.svg, which had no category nor information unlike the rest. I remember you have the "macro" that creates them and prepares them and adds a category because I asked this to help clean the [https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Special:UncategorizedFiles "Uncategorized Files"] page. No idea why this one got nuts. I added the information. Maybe it is because of the nice german spelling, but it is not the only planet like this. Hope you can review and thanks in advance!--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 08:23, 5 November 2021 (EDT)

::::::Nic, it's not about using H1s instead of H2s, it's about changing what H2s look like. Rather than just being an underline, the Wikipedia formatting uses a hairline that runs the width of the page.

==Bug with Module:LuaTest==
 +
Hi Nic,<br>
 +
[[Module:LuaTest]] shows up as a blue link in [[Special:LonelyPages]], but the page appears to be deleted. Adding it to [[User:Talvin/Project_Orphanage#Technical_Pages]] shows it as a red link, and it does not disappear from the Orphans when that cache refreshes overnight.  This is hardly a showstopper bug or even close, but it's odd. [[User:Talvin|Talvin]] ([[User talk:Talvin|talk]]) 10:57, 27 February 2022 (EST)
 +
: Strange, I couldn't find any way to make it disappear either.  Must be a side-effect of it being a LUA module.  Since it's not affecting anything else (that I can tell) I'll leave it for now, but if there's a pattern of this happening I can dig into it more.
