Hey Waynemcdougall, I have seen your recent changes to some of the wiki pages and have just started a discussion on the main page. Concidering your changes or not I would let you know that I appreciate all contributions to the wiki. So please don´t be exercised by my criticism.

Yours morlano


Hey Wayne,

as I said, I´m very sorry for my criticism as I know that there is a lot of work you spend on the changes.

I learned HTML and stuff during my studies (computer science) which is, as wiki code, a markup language. There are a lot of possibilitys to markup text like lists (ordered and unordered), tables, headlines, links etc. and they should be used for what they are ment to be used. If you got a list, use a list, if you got a table, use a table. Tables are not destinated to organizing a layout like it was done in early HTML times. Just take a look at the mother of wikis and how they use lists, tables etc.

Again, I think you as user and editor are adding great value to the wiki, but major changes (maybe) should be discussed first and there is a lot of work that need to be done with a higher priority then solid changes to the layout.

I´m not that active at the wiki and don´t know if I have the right to correct you, but, for example, I miss the "Content" section on pages with a lot of links. It makes it more easy to jump to the POI on the current page.

This will (partially) also be included on the discussion section of the main page. But I would like to let you know first and specially thank you for your activeness on the wiki.

Yours, morlano

Shame on me. This is great stuff. Thank you for getting me 100% right. The contextual changes are great and I love the representation and look an feel.
