Oolite Bulletins

2. There are still some OXP's that have "No wiki" when a wiki entry exists. See "Duplex Fuel Tank" or "Target Autolock Plus". So the algorithm tries to find a page on the Wiki, and the URL is constructed like this: "http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/" + <name ...

@hiran: The new output is much better. A couple of questions/points, though: 1. In the "Warnings" section of each OXP, there is a warning if an equipment or ship item doesn't have an individual wiki (eg see first OXP "Trident Down"). I'm not sure those count as warnings, and for...

Ahem... not everything mentioned at Mediawiki seems to work where our wiki is concerned... I've utterly failed to get footnotes to operate, and when I replace one screenshot with a newer one, the old one lingers and refuses my assignment of banishment to oblivion (see http://wiki.alioth.net/index.p...

I am becoming increasingly concerned about the number of redirect pages on the wiki (all my own fault. I know, I know...). People use it to find things and I would suspect most of us type in the words, which allows the wiki search engine come up with a list of choices, from which the correct item c...

If a shipyard offers a "Gabooze Quadronium Messenger" I do not care what OXP it came it or why the page should have a different name - I just want to get more information on that item. But the lack of a specific wiki page for the equipment item or ship doesn't mean the OXP wiki page doesn...

And why such a big fuss about just the XML ones? Probably because it requires a different method of reading (ie parsing). So, to read both XML and OpenStep formats requires two different parsing techniques, doubling the size of the code. That is an excellent (and hopefully nontechnical enough) expl...

The HTTP client code I used did not emit more status so I guess it would have only found pages that directly match the constructed URL. For better control I switched to another client that will give better feedback and automatically can follow redirections from the server. All of a sudden a lot mor...

I just had my extractor running again to see what was happening there - and I can see that the BlOomberg markets are marked with a wiki page while I know this was not the case in the past. So I guess it is not a question of 'why' or 'what' but rather 'when'. It is unavoidable that these pages refer...

My above statement is incorrect. At that time another change impacted that all pages were marked as found. I will investigate to find a better reason/result. Does it really matter? At the moment I'm the only person doing much, and I use your Index on the wiki to determine if a page is up or not, no...

Question: In the list for BlOomberg markets, is has "No Wiki", but it definitely has one at BlOomberg Markets . What was the logic for making that determination? I just had my extractor running again to see what was happening there - and I can see that the BlOomberg markets are marked wit...

I am not arguing that. My question remains: What are we going to do about them? Do you suggest to extend the Oolite OXP manifest format to allow for regional differences in the language? Obviously not, we would open a Pandora box with that, I would suggest staying with the good, old British English...

Latest extract from the Expansion Manager's OXP list Question: In the list for BlOomberg markets, is has "No Wiki", but it definitely has one at BlOomberg Markets . What was the logic for making that determination? I just had my extractor running again to see what was happening there - an...

I do agree we human beings stick to human languages and are quite fault tolerant - which means we still understand the message. There are differences between British and American English, licence / license is one of them. :wink: I am not arguing that. My question remains: What are we going to do ab...
