I thought of a solution - noone ever sorts by Brief Description, so why not merge the OXP name with the Brief Description? Then its up to the OXP author to decide how to use the "OXP Name and Description" column. Any objections? :shock: That might even work! :o I reckon it could work rath...

The basic problem here is longer OXP name = shorter description and 84 characters is already a quite brief description. You could argue that 2 lines for each OXP is ok, but firstly that would double the length of the tables, but also I reckon it's inevitable that once we have 2 lines, someone will w...

Looks nice so far. Thanks :) Updated mine to have proper titles also. In order to keep the row on one line, can you put the Deep Horizon in the Brief Description? eg. OXP: D.H. Gas Giant Skimming Brief Description: [Deep Horizon] Skim gas giants to refuel a ship or mine them for rare minerals where...

Nice overview btw, I like it better than what we had before! Glad to hear it. 8) I actually replaced the content of Oolite_Missions with Oolite_Missions_Overview now and moved the old content to Oolite_Missions_Old. I also changed the link in your page to point to Oolite_Missions. Good you did it t...

I had a post in the Oolite-Linux forum which is probably a more appropriate place than Porting to other platforms as the setup I described is for Linux. It is here:

Shouldn't this be in the "Porting to other platforms" section, too?

Just suggesting.
I'm happy to add it there, but couldn't find where you mean. Can you post a link? [EDIT: Do you mean "Porting to other platforms" in the forums or some place on the wiki?]

Just when I naively think that Oolite cannot get any better, someone comes out with an OXP like this. Great work!

Auto-generated pages can be very easily recognized by the word "Category:" in their title. Rule: if it is called "Category: something " it is auto-generated. If it is called something else, it is not. Good to know. Thanks. However, I would suggest keeping the alphabetic part of ...

Yes I can add some documentation about where to add pages.

I think rather than completely deleting http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXPs_% ... _%27F%27#A I would mark it as deprecated to give authors time to transfer any information from it.

The pages currently here: http://oxps.wikkii.com/wiki/Oxps are a replacement for http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/All_OXPs_by_Category. So in the worst case we have the same number of pages (2) that need manual entry as we do at the moment. However, I would suggest keeping the alphabetic part of htt...
