==More Fileformats==

should be added, so upload of PDF and ZIP-Files will be possible. I Think a lot of manuals and stuff is in PDF-Format or some Freeware / Shareware / Public Domain Programmes can be directly addes to the pages (Wanted to do that with the SOundtrakkr 128K). So its will be great if someone who reads something about a demo or programm also can download the DSK or whatever to run it on an emulator or cpc.
: More file extensions allowed now. You can actually upload zip, rar (preferred due to better compression), pdf and mp3 (for all those tape conversions!). Nevertheless, can't a manual be copied as txt? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 09:00, 6 August 2006 (CEST)
:: THIS IS NOT!! working

I have tried to upload a PDFand a ZIP. Both doesn't work. Please check that and correct it [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 22:53, 9 August 2006 (CEST)

==Adding templates:==

We should add some templates to mark articles for e.g. deletion. You can see the reason for the need for templates if you have a look at the article about [[Beau Jolly]]. You can find examples for that kind of templates in the original wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages).
:Hmmm I'm not really sure what you mean... the Beau Jolly page is a harmless prank - at least I consider it so at this point. If and when the wiki gets bigger and to such a size that systematic patrolling is needed, then I think we can start putting some mechanisms into place... For now, just reading the changes and glancing at the pages is surely enough? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 14:07, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
::I meant the template signs of Wikipedia to simply add warning, etc. Here is an direct example of some different marks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages/Disputes We don't need all signs, of course, but some to easily mark articles for deletion or for the need of an improvement would be nice (no automatic robots - just to mark the articles). --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 14:24, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
:::Ah, that's interesting now... I'll have to see how to implement them - unless you got some idea? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 14:53, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
::::I think they can just be added with copy & paste!? --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 15:06, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
:::::I made a test with the [[Beau Jolly]] article. Unfortunately you can't do simple copy & paste because of all the internal links in the Wikipedia templates. Maybe someone can improve it. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:57, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
:I would like to see templates for different categories of software ''e.g.'' games, demos, applications, like the information boxes one sees on Wikipedia for computer games - see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindizzy_(computer_game) Wikipedia's entry on ''Spindizzy''] as an example. The problem for me at the moment is that I don't know how to create complex tables and boxes in wiki markup at the moment! :-( [[User:Nich|Nich]] 17:31, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
::I added the template for the game info boxes ([[Template:Infobox CVG]]), but currently the "parser functions" like #if: don't seem to work. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 18:44, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
::Ok, I found the page which explains the installation of the "ParserFunctions" extension. It have to be installed to get the template working: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions#Installation --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 18:51, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
:::Mmmm just installed it -at least the relevant files. But, how about this line:
::: <pre>require_once( "$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php" );</pre>,
:::it says it has to go to the end of LocalSettings.php. But if I do place it there (before the closing tag), it breaks the whole wiki... darn. Will try to look into it. [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:32, 7 August 2006 (CEST)

==Math:==

Today I wanted to add some formulas (very simple!) to describe the mathmatic background of a routine. Are <math> Tags supported? --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 21:18, 9 August 2006 (CEST)
:Which article did you edit? Can you try emailing me? You have not verified your email address and I can't send you an email... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 10:06, 10 August 2006 (CEST)

==PNG==

when tryig to add a PNG-File, there occurs an error saying that the png is not correct. Can you please check if PNG is enabled in the wiki configuration. Thank you [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 21:21, 9 August 2006 (CEST)
:Will look into it, I thought i had it fixed... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 10:06, 10 August 2006 (CEST)
:: Darn... I can't get it to work! what has to be done is add this line to LocalSettings.php: $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ogg','doc','xls','ppt','mp3','pdf' ); listing all the extensions you need... well, I changed LocalSettings.php and also changed DefaultSettings.php (though not advisable), extensions are not blacklisted but it still won't work !! ARGH!!!! [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 08:47, 11 August 2006 (CEST)

== Scene news ==

would be very cool... Just talking with Eliot that there are still releases that keep quite unknown. This is because we still don´t have a point were really all CPC news are collected and available. The CPCwiki could become this point I think... --[[User:Villain|Villain]] 22:01, 14 August 2006 (CEST)
: I dont know if people want it to get a "CPC Scene Wiki" :-) but i love to add more informations about scene members of the CPC but someone means that "not hard facts" are only on the discussion page welcomed.. GRRR.. maybe i shall start a CPC-Scene-Wiki with some Klatsch & tratsch sections :-)
::If we already announce upcoming CPC parties it wouldn´t be bad to integrate all the other news, too. Just my point of view of course... ;-) --[[User:Villain|Villain]] 22:46, 14 August 2006 (CEST)

==New Logo==

I had a few minutes, so I did this [http://www.cpcscene.com/wiki.png little logo] for the wiki. Feel free to use it (or not). - Grim/Arkos
: Very nice!
: Hello mate, thanks for your effort! I'm afraid it's a bit too busy, lacking a bit in coherence... I know mine is not very much cpc-related, so if you can improve yours... Cheers! [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 22:08, 11 August 2006 (CEST)

==Talk page format==

Could we please stay with this usual format for talk pages? It is used in all the other Wikis, and as you see, there is a "+" function, which supports this format, too. Every new entry is placed at the end, not at the top. It is also more easy to jump into a section to continue the discussion there. Time by time the contributes can be moved into the [[Talk:Main Page/Archive1|archive]]. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 18:19, 12 August 2006 (CEST)

==Categories==

While there are such few categories by now we should decide whether they should be in singular or plural now. -- [[User:Ythcal|Ythcal]] 14:08, 13 August 2006 (CEST)

==Languages and countries==

Please remember: Languages and countries are written '''upper-case''' in English (eg. '''G'''ermany, '''F'''rench)! -- [[User:Ythcal|Ythcal]] 17:24, 14 August 2006 (CEST)

== Stubs ==

Do very small "stubs" make sense? I think not, as it's just disappointing to watch them. I tried to extend a lot of stubs, but again people are inserting useless 3 word entries - have a look at "short pages". It shouldn't be the goal to have as many senseless 3 word articles as possible but to create interesting information. What do you think?
: I think its necessarry to have such ages to have things in mind and to have a chance that someone can re-edit the page in knowing, its being there, instead of not remembering things. Sometimes it is very helpfull for me to find a short description about a group, a module or something and if i remember more i'll write it down.
:: I also agree to Kangaroo, it's good to have already an entry, so that we will not forget this subject. But we should add a new category "stubs", so that it's more easy to find these articles! -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 15:08, 25 August 2006 (CEST)
:::may i add "Leather Rebel" untder "Stubs-Nase" then? :-D [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 20:40, 28 August 2006 (CEST)

== FutureOS ==

Could anybody lock the FutureOS article in it´s current version? I just see the beginning of something but I´m sure how it will end.
: Done. Please provide sources of information, if you want to change anything. I also removed the last sentence ("four new features in six years"), as it could be negatively interpreted. Please do the discussion inside the articles talk page. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 18:44, 25 August 2006 (CEST)

== Unused Images ==

[[Special:Unusedimages]]
Watch out for useless files :)
--[[User:PulkoMandy|PulkoMandy]] 16:18, 13 August 2006 (CEST)

== Category "News" ==

If we start to add the news to own categories we should avoid naming the news article with "News:" as prefix, because in the category listing everything would appear under the letter 'N'. The same problem occurs with programming articles (prefix "Programming:"). Maybe we should remove the prefix from this articles? --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 10:12, 28 August 2006 (CEST)
: Uh, good question... Somehow I like these prefixes, and as there are already sorted lists we even don't need the categories at all, but on the other hand you are also right. Don't know... -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 13:59, 28 August 2006 (CEST)
: I think we should keep the prefixes at least for the news, as the titles of this pages are not terms but small summary like sentences. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:49, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

== Discussion, Suggestions, Main Page Talk ==

Now we have:
* [[Discussion]]
* [[Suggestions]]
* [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page Talk:Main_Page]
In the sidebar, "discussion page" is the main page talk, on the main page "discussion" is the discussion page. Maybe we should clean this up a little bit or create some definitions, what to write where? -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 22:32, 29 August 2006 (CEST)

: I moved general discussion stuff from the Main Page talk page to the two existing pages [[Discussion]] and [[Suggestions]] and added some messages describing the rules. I still wonder, if it makes sense to split up "discussion" and "suggestions"? -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 19:44, 2 September 2006 (CEST)

== Linking to WIKIPEDIA ==

currently the tag <pre>{{Wikipedia}}</pre> doesnt seem to work howcome... It does over at [http://www.c64-wiki.de/index.php/Hauptseite C64 Wiki] :-) --[[User:CPCLER|CPCLER]] 18:34, 1 September 2006 (CEST)
:Mmmm..... can you give an example? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:41, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

:: Yep.. over at [http://www.c64-wiki.de/index.php/CP/M The C64 WIKI] under section '''LINK'''. OK i could just link directly!!! But.....

:::: Sorry, I can't follow?! This template doesn't exist yet at all and what do we have to do with the links in the C64 Wiki? -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 12:44, 2 September 2006 (CEST)

::: Yup, confirmed. Am trying to figure it out - sorry for the lack of support lately, I've been so busy at work I can merely glance at it usually... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]]
