Wiki Updates
I figured that as the Wiki will (and has been) changing pretty often, we should have a topic to briefly mention what we have done to it if we feel that it's worth mentioning.
So I'll mention that I noticed that there was a category called 'NoType' in the 'Puzzle' section, and this was for any puzzles that didn't have their 'Type' field filled in.
Hopefully Chris won't mind ( ) but I moved this category to the 'Puzzle Types' page, and as pretty much every puzzle in that category was a puzzle box I created a new category for all puzzle boxes for them to go into.
We can sort out a puzzle category system in the near future, but for now I thought this looked tidier.
Also, we're up to over 180 puzzles already! How cool is that?!

Re: Wiki Updates
I have just added a new template to add "Photo courtesy of x" so that credit can be given where needed that will also keep the photo's comments looking neat. Usage is:
where <name> should be replaced with the person's name. The template will automatically make a link too.
Code: Select all
{{PhotoC|<name>}}
Re: Wiki Updates
The Wiki puzzle index has now reached over 200 puzzles!
We now have:
206 Puzzles
62 Designers
51 Manufacturers
Which I think is not bad considering how short a time the Wiki has been up for.

Re: Wiki Updates
I added an image to the main page, nothing too exciting but it makes the title page stand out a little more. It can be changed later on if we find something better.

Re: Wiki Updates
Cool!
I e-mail Mark and asked if he's willing to knock up a logo for the wiki and the forum. He's going to have a play around and see if he can come up with something

Re: Wiki Updates
Awesome! We've seen his skills, so I can't wait to see what he comes up with!
Edit:
I also went ahead and added headers for all of the Wiki's 'main' pages. I think it looks good, but I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks.

Re: Wiki Updates
I have started a new category for people as there are some people that deserve pages on the wiki are neither designers nor manufacturers.
All people (not businesses/shops etc) should be included in this category.

Re: Wiki Updates
I added a page where we can hold links to any and all decent puzzle related sites on the web. What I've added is by no means anywhere close to a definitive list, so I expect people to add/remove from it where needed.
What do people think; Is it too messy or does it work?
Edit: I also added a 'contents' box to the top. The page is quite long and has the potential to get a whole load longer, so I thought it would be worthwhile.

I tried to use this but I had to remove the italic tags to get the link to work.bluesign2k wrote:I have just added a new template to add "Photo courtesy of x" so that credit can be given where needed that will also keep the photo's comments looking neat. Usage is:
