Hi Guys. First let me tell you that I really love the idea of having a cpc wiki. And as it seems it is working out quite well. Ok. I want to suggest to have different articles for a pseudo and the real name of any person who has released stuff in each role. Take Face Hugger aka Andreas Stroiczek as an example: He has done "serious" projects (like the digiblaster, which was released in the CPCAI) as well as scene related stuff (demos etc.) and I would suggest having an article to both of his roles and cross linking those two. I think that some ppl might know only one of the roles that someone has/had and therefore I think it is an interesting and informative feature to link each project to the suitable "role" as well as the different roles of each person to each other.
What to you think of that? 2006-08-17, BSC.
- Hi BSC (funny to see your login harking back to Betasoft Cologne!). I'd agree absolutely that it's really good to highlight all of a particular person's roles. As another example, some people might not realise that though Anti-Multiface is credited to "Merlin J. Bond of Magicsoft", that's another name for Serge Querne aka Longshot. But I think it's better to keep them on one page - so Andreas Stroiczek would have the same page for his demos and for his Digiblaster work. You can do this easily using the "|" character in a link, like this: Andreas Stroiczek or Face Hugger. --ChaRleyTroniC (aka Richard Fairhurst ;) )
- Don't forget that you can also do redirects for the Person's name (e.g. in the article of "Andreas Stroiczek" you would do a forward with "# redirect [{Face Hugger]]). You then can have all the informations about that persons on one page. --Octoate 21:04, 17 August 2006 (CEST)
Hi Themis - could you move the 'Recent Changes' stuff up towards the top of the lh navbar? It's the first thing I look at whenever I log onto a (MediaWiki-powered) wiki, and it's a PITA to have to scroll down before I get to it. Cheers --ChaRleyTroniC 17:07, 13 July 2006 (CDT)
- Done! It's the first thing I look at as well, so it made sense, even though from an organisational point of view it belongs where it was before... oh well! :) Gryzor 08:45, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
Maybe, we should make a CPC Timeline article, listing all CPC events(be it Demoscene releted, release of game, software or hardware, start of a fanzine - or it closure and so on) by date(I know... This would be something really big)... Problem then is, where to start. Should it be CPC 464 incept date? Or maybe the lauch of Amstrad Plc.? Or, maybe it should be birthdate of Alan Sugar? I don't know... Just think of it...--Torn 16:19, 2 September 2006 (CEST)
- Great idea! The question is, if we should seperate it into important events/hardware/software/scene etc. or pack everything into one list? -- Prodatron 16:33, 2 September 2006 (CEST)
