what template would work best for a military project that was not itself a cordoned off portion of the military? The infobox for projects does not exist in IIwiki.

Can you explain it? What is its RL analogue?

I'm not really sure there is an RL analouge, but the aim of the project was to update existing tube artillery models to a more "modern" standard.

Then there is unlikely to be any template for it. Projects on Wiki, like Future Combat Systems or even NASA's New Frontiers program don't have infoboxes because there's nothing standardized about them or between them.

Yeah, basically every DARPA project page is lacking an infobox. So, this article idea should as well.

Crap, I totally missed this question. Well, hopefully this helps someone if you don't see it:

Example use cases of current imgur extension:

Code: Select all

<imgur w="200">d1WJZnt.jpg</imgur>

<imgur thumb="yes" w="250" comment="Some chick Santh has a photo of.">d1WJZnt.jpg</imgur>


I don't believe it works in infoboxes, and the other extension... didn't play nice with our current set-up.

Fair enough, looking at the project template they do have, it appears to be more of a civil/social engineering thing, and the Manhattan Project uses the milunit box.

Follow this link and it will fix your theme issues. I had this issue way back when.

I once moved to a new theme and the page blanked.

Thanks!

Just so it is here:

Append ?useskin=Vector to the URL to change your preferences back, like so: http://iiwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page?useskin=Vector


Alternatively, though, I have commented out the include of the Modern skin, so everyone who was using it is no longer doing so.

My category never comes out right when I work on iiwiki pages I might make my category Wars but then it goes into politics or when I try to use my country's category but it just goes into the category countries
Violence is only justified when used against equal violence. If you ideology requires violence to establish it, you're wrong. I am a Roman Catholic, and I would consider myself economically liberal and very socially conservative. I am against any ideology that seeks to crush any person for any reason, and limit the potential of any person.

Make sure you're doing [[Category: {Category name}]], for example: [[Category:Wars]]. They should direct right to the category specified.

Some form of ad-like linking section (apparently linking only to pages in [[Category:Countries]]) is appearing at the very bottom of all IIWiki pages for me right now, including the main page. It espouses to be Google-powered, and does link to the Google Adsense service. I am presently using the default skin, and am unsure as to if this is an issue on other skins as well. Is anyone else having issues with this? If so, is there a way to prevent it from appearing?

That's a matched content ad from Adsense. It should not, however, look like that. So, until I can figure out why it looks that terrible when the "live preview" shows something different, I've removed it.

It really should be in the sidebar supporting the actual adspace, anyway.

Hello,

I'm attempting to write an election article, but I've got a bit of a problem when it comes to the election infoboxes.

I'm using this code:

| title = [[Imperial Prime Minister]]
| before_election = [[Alexander Murrell]]
| before_party = [[Radical Liberal Party|Radical Liberal]]
| posttitle = Subsequent [[Imperial Prime Minister]]
| after_election = [[Stephen Parsons]]
| after_party = [[Radical Liberal Party|Radical Liberal]]

But it's coming out like this:

Is there a way I can fix this?

Last time this came up, the solution was (apparently) adding | alliance_name = no to your template. Try that?

It appeared Maltropia's solution of adding 'no' to the template worked - thank you anyways for offering.

When I try and use this template on IIwiki, I get this:

Can you guys please fix this? Thanks.

Yes, we hit our space limit again. Thumbnails deleted; I will be going through front-end deleted files and old versions and remove them en masse, as well, fairly soon. If you have any old versions of anything you want to hold on to, please obtain them and store them elsewhere as soon as possible.

Shouldn't be a problem, unless the templates require something we can't support. I'll try importing what templates I can find on that page - preferably, I will be given a list of them instead of finding them myself, though.
