Actually, I like it. It gives the page a unique look that mirrors this distinct "corporate identity" - Isis Interstellar in this case. And why not?

The colour scheme works on a web page where it's the only thing on-screen. But on the wiki with it's banner and side-bars in white it looks most odd.

And no, that's not a vote to change the wiki colours.

I think i might switch it around, so the lo-fi white background one is the default page for vampire, while the black and yellow one is the optional alternate page.

Why not let KW decide, as they're de facto his pages?

Whilst it may be somewhat against wider-web wiki procedures (unfortunately), it may be nice for the original authors to get a final say in how their stuff get's wiki'd?

Seconded. The white on black thing is fine by itself, but it just totally reverses the scheme established on all othere pages of the wiki and, at least for me, makes it not particularly appealing to read - again, this refers solely to the wiki.

Anyway, KW, what do you say? Would you greatly mind a wikified black on white -ish version of your page for alioth.net?

Whatever works best for the Wiki, AFAIC. that colourscheme works for my site, and personally i prefer a black background for the screenshots as the space/stars blends better, but given other people are willing to put the time and effort into the wiki, i'd say let them go at it and work out a common format.

I decided to switch it around, you can still view the black/yellow theme by following the link at the top.

No probs, here's another: Vampire Diamondback

That wraps up all the Isis Interstellar OXP's.

Other than changes to the ship list by size/alphabetical and the OXP by Category pages (and the retexture/shipsets category) I've done everything I've set out to do on the wiki. *pats self on back* so i'm going to take a break from my nearly month long wiki spring clean and do some work on my OXPs, then I'll get back to the lists/category pages.

excellent effort bud, i just hope the Wiki remains stable and doesn't go AWOL as it has in the past. do we know if regular backups are taken or not? it'd be a shame (to say the least!) if the recent events recurred and all the reworking was lost.

I think I remember Winston saying it was a whole new setup, so It should be stable for a while yet, as for backups, will have to ask Winston.
