How's that? Does it deserve a dancing bananana?

Good job! Have two!

Just a slight correction: the ship pages are not OXP pages, so the use of {{ship-OXP}} is wrong here and can be removed.

Thank you. Sorted.

Some of the ships which are definitely in OXPs are coming up as "Standard". A random example: " wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Eagle_Long_Range_Fighter_Mk_3_(Oolite) " Eagle Long Range Fighter Mk 3 Size (W×H×L) 67m×12m×65m Cargo capacity 10 TC Cargo bay extension N/A Maximum speed 0.3...

How about using Transclusion ? That allows the content of one page to appear in another. I shall give it a go right now with the Dragon and its 3 variants and see how it looks ... I think this works well. The original Dragon page had 4 ships on the one OXP page, and the info box trying to describe ...

For the time being, I limited the results list to 100 entries so it displays again and you can see the Dragon entries.

Ta muchly.

The dynamic ships page - wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Dynamic_Ship_List_(Oolite) - won't load and hasn't worked for about 20 minutes, possibly longer. Everything else seems fine. (Symptoms just like the OXP List when it wouldn't load.) I want to know how the transclusionificated Dragon ships appear on...

So how should I deal with something like the Clippers ? Two ships (Python and Boa Clippers) in one OXP. Am I supposed to have three pages now - one for the OXP and one for each ship? Yes, that would be best: one page per OXP with link to each page for each ship. Exception: If there is only one ship...

How does that make you feel?

Does that question interest you?

Would you like to play a game of Global Thermal Nuclear War?

Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?

What makes you think that Elize-style conversations tend to get boring rather quickly, though? They appear to be mostly simple, algorithmic manipulation of the tense, aspect or mood of the input strings, with no attempt whatsoever to analyse the content words. How does that make you feel? :mrgreen:...

Now, now... Space tape is just as important. Very.

I thought that referring to that item openly was a spoiler? I'm always surprised to see it discussed openly.

Would it not make sense to have two pages? The main OXP table on one, then WIP OXPs, trunk OXPs and 'broken' OXPs together on a separate page. The 'main' page would be the only one most people would need, and 'everything else' would be on the other. I suggested some time ago that OXPs should be mar...

Reminds me of the time when friends & family thought that they have to call me every time a PC didn't work... I got sick of, and fixed that, some years ago. "I'm sorry, but I haven't used Windows since Windows ME. I only work on corporate systems like Unix systems and obscure mainframes. S...
