Some maintenance on the website while I’m ill 🙁
- Updated Wiki software http://wiki.piratemc.com/
  - Added Contribution Scores plugin Check out the top scores here! https://wiki.piratemc.com/Special:ContributionScores
    https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Contribution_Scores @PaulOnFire Looks like you are top of the leaderboard!
  - Added Embed Video extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo
  - Added New Visual Editor, this is a game changer! https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide#Opening_the_visual_editor
    it looks like this is only enabled for new pages, and not existing pages as its got a new syntax.
- Updated Staff bug tracking software
The wiki is the most underrated used piece of software, you can do anything with it.

Like for example, today I found out anyone can create a Template https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates that anyone else can use on their Wiki pages, They are created the same way you create a normal page, just prefixed the name with Template:Pagename.

Some ideas that people could create templates for
- Crew pages, could all use the same info box, Maybe one of these templates could be adapted? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_officeholder
- Personal page about a player and their history & Story, a universal info box could be created based on this template https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_person
Global information on info boxes https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Streamlined_Infoboxes

Remember its the exact same software as Wikipedia so any of Wikipedia templates can be copied to PirateCraft Wiki and adapted to use! Someone needs to set the standard here!

The wiki has been relatively quiet for some weeks now. I have been working on the timeline and trawling through some ancient forum pages to get more information.

There is so much vital information still missing from the wiki! I’m talking about really, really important pages with little to no information such as:

-o- CoV
-o- TAS
-o- 0utlaws
-o- TMPLR
-o- Literally dozens of other notable crews who have been around for a long time
-o- Wars! The only pages with any detail are the Verussian war pages.
-o- Almost every settlement in existence
-o- Various Xmas and Halloween events
-o- BOTM entries and winners
-o- Hundreds of pirates
-o- “ancient history” from before 2014

My own knowledge is extremely detailed but severely limited to post 2014 BE/LoN politics. It would be of incredible value to the community for everyone to at least write a couple of sentences and add an infobox describing their crew. You know your own crew best. No one else can do your wiki page justice!

That’s why I’d like to ask anyone who reads this to unleash their creativity and create some new pages they have knowledge on. Or simply add some more detail to the timeline. 🙂

Well, that sure was an enlightening read! I’ve now moved the information to a new page called http://wiki.piratemc.com/Crew_Infobox. The old page is now a proper template. Simply use the following code to make an infobox on your page:

Then put in the information you wish to display after the equal sign. The information after |flag MUST be a PC wiki image link.

Example: |crew=Testcrew will display “Testcrew” in the title.

Right, I’ve come up with something cool: Every crew can use this basic infobox to present their basic details in an orderly fashion!

To get the code for this box, go here:

http://wiki.piratemc.com/Template:Crew_Info

Paste the code at the top of a page and the box will magically appear on the right when the changes are saved. Here’s some info on how to tailor that code to your crew’s specifications:

Et voilà! Now you can display your crew for the world to see! With a bit of fiddling around you can alter the infobox to your heart’s content. 🙂
