Just acknowledging your messages, hope to find time today to even look at it. I will keep you posted here.

Try entering <br /> at the points you wish to insert a line break.

How do I get the number to fit on the page? I put in some commas at the end, but they have no effect!

<span style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">

Help!

We need some new icons for Oolite versions 1.89, 1.90 & 1.91. (It probably does no harm to add in 1.92 etc as well.)

This is for the Template:IconOXP page on the wiki: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Template:IconOXP which then gets used by other OXPs...

While I do realise that we can't upload files at the moment, this will hopefully be fixed soon. I'm afraid that I don't (yet) have the skills to do this myself.

(You can see the effects of not having the icon at the bottom of the new BPlanets page on our wiki).

I think we should focus wiki pages for OXPs on users as the target group, not developers...

The first indicates the impact on play (equipment making the game easier/more difficult), the second indicates the suggested Elite Rating needed to attempt the mission/defeat the ship etc.Is my synopsis here correct?
