I was the one that created the front page category structure here. I feel like it's a pretty good top-level structure if you guys want to use it as a starting point.

I also recommend grabbing the "network protocols" page here. Sadly i think this is an out-of-date version of that page, but i could restore what is missing based on my own notes i think.

I was probably the only one trying to add stuff to that wiki for a while. (well, me plus about 2 dozen spambots.) 

but for an idea of one way to go with the design, my preference would be something like this:

Not sure if my tastes line up with the majority or not, but if people like that I'd be happy to polish that up and do it for real. 

 

I like the colors and subtle background texturing

I like my logo though :> 

I think the first logo but without the shambler (keep the book) against Starbuck's background would be the coolest. 

Yes please.

And that sublime concrete background. 

Bigger book without Shambler might look ace indeed. Would also make a nice iconic icon. I really really like the "book of Quake wisdom" spirit of it.

Starbuck: That looks awesome, I knew it! :)
If I knew how to give someone access to just one directory on the server securely I would do that in a heartbeat but I have no clue. Sadly that stupid skin uses multiple files for its CSS. Probably not worth installing. I could add a CSS url to somewhere in your control so you could override stuff with !important and then I would integrate the changes later maybe?

That box on the left is weird. Maybe all white background (leaving the lines of course) and a thin rounded border around the search box?

metl: I'll be importing that wiki and possibly some of the quakesrc one too. :) 

funnily enough, the original plan I had was just the book alone... I'll do a version like that 

Apparently Mediawiki has some wikified CSS integrated, try this http://quakewiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css 

Scampie, I think just the book would look sweet. Especially with the book above the text.

Spirit, yeah, why don't I email you a link to a .css file, I'm sure we'll work it out. Shitloads of !importants may indeed be on the cards.

I also agree about the left box. That theme is a bit messy. I'll try and remove a lot of the nonsense once I get css-ing! 

should probably learn to refresh the thread. That looks good, I'll get on it. 

can't edit that page? 

well I'm in bed now

Please!!!

It's a BAD thing that Wikipedia has 100% width.

Those lines are massive.

It DOES make reading it harder.

OOKK!!!?!?! 

Pure CSS dynamic layouts, for mobile compatibility. Just asks about the screen dimensions and adjusts according to the CSS rules within. It's like what can be done with JavaScript but no JavaScript is required.

Its easy.

As per:

None!!! 

 

oh my word Ricky, does it honestly look like a nice semantic theme that's going to react well to responsive layouts? I mean they've used bloody tables for positioning. Tables! Feel free to inject the media query CSS using dev tools or whatever, if it works well I will eat a whole suitcase full of shorts.

Unless you're aware of a modern standards compliant theme that runs on that wiki software? That'd be awesome. Otherwise though, maybe there's a dedicated mobile theme out there? We could set up a m.quakewiki.org subdomain and do a browser check... 

Also how many people are going to seriously read this in their mobile phones? 

added URL to the the thread text. 

oh god, Ricky is right about the maximum width!

I could not care less about mobile version, opera mobile makes reading normal versions of websites fun. if someone writes it though, sure thing.

don't waste your time writing content, wait until the import has happened to see what is there. 

You get my email dude? 

yes but I am not a dog!!

(out of town right now, will do it in about 7 hours)
