[Out-of-Date] The Issuing Orders Wiki

[Heiko Alkema]

Anyone know how to properly set up a "category"?

[Nicholas Ealing]

I'll do it for yez, if thee want.

A category in what?

[Heidi]

Also, is there a way to delete articles? If one of my characters is ever deleted, I might want to take down their page, too.

[Heiko Alkema]

I figured it out. No help needed anymore.

I have successfully categorized every weapon that already been created!

[Heidi]

Yay Heiko! ^.^

Also...could someone please put that table thingy in for Adelheid's page? ^^;

issuingorders.wikia.com/wiki/Adelheid

[Heiko Alkema]

Added the box, didn't put anything in it though.. if you need someone else to do that just say so...

[Heidi]

I can fill it in, thanks. The nationality flags might be a bit of an issue, though...

Edit: All fixed now. Also, I recategorized some of you as Members of Issuing Orders, just until someone gets the Character category up and running.

[peterkonig]

Can someone make Peter and Lief a article? ;D

Register an account to protect your IP, and just go ahead and fill in anything that says, "Fill me in!"

[Mac Bargett]

Could someone create articless with the box and everything for Mac Bargett, perhaps Fred Lebel and Charles Norris too, and put them under Members of Issuing Orders?

Or just tell me how?

[Edward"Butcher"McMillan]

I edit little stuff on there when I can, but I am in the dark on how to do such a task as well, sorry

[Heidi]

Don't worry, JT. I have a template I can use to fix up his articles.

[Daniel Brennan]

I've just spent a good hour editing 'NPCs of Rhys Bevan'. I'll probably edit a few more pages before the day is up.
I'm really not wiki-savvy, though. When I'm editing/making pages I just copy the templates from different/ the same pages and fill them in with my own things. It can be difficult though; some of these templates are 10 lines of gibberish.

[Nicholas Ealing]

Right a new page has been opened up: Issuing Orders Episodes.

issuingorders.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Episodes

An episode is a series of threads that all link together, that tend to be set around one, or a couple, of characters. For instance, the episode Wolfram, begins with the thread Heirrliches Munchen and continues to The Plan or the Dead End, Hallucinations of the Third Reich etc.

Some threads run on for ages and are split into a number of episodes. These linked episodes are called groups. For instance, there are three episodes - Strumfelder, Adelheid and Merhoff - that are all connected.

Strumfelder begins with the capture of Joe Claude and ends with Vlakte's defection.

Adelheid begins with Adelheid's very first Neutral threads and ends with her first thread with Jonas, just before the infamous Out in the Sun.

Merhoff begins with Out in the Sun and will continue until conclusion of this linked Strum/Addy/Jonas storyline.

Anyway, there are some episode articles that I'd like some help with so here they are:

(If you want some help with the writing style/templates etc. read the article Rhys and McMillan, that begins with Cadet; What do you Call That and ends with Gone.)

Wolfram:
All of the threads that deal with the death of Wolfrick and it's repurcussions (at last count there are three or four).

Perhaps some help with the three above? I'm sure Addie, as a creator, will be better at writing what happened than I am, as a reader.

Feel free to nominate a new episode; remember, they must (a) be at least two/three threads long, (b) feature at least a handful of the same recurring characters throughout and (c) have a major effect on the board.

Thanks,
Rhys.

[PuNk! ™]

Wow, you've done some real good work with that Rhys. Not forgetting Addie too.

I think we should Commemorate those storylines and threads on this website too; I was thinking about creating subcategories beneath the Finished Threads area, in regards to their linked storylines.

The Finished thread area needs a major revamp and part of the revamp that crossed my mind, was to file the finished threads into their destined categories. So the storyline following a part of Wolfram's life, where his son dies and the immense outcome from that one thread, completely changed two character's lives on this website (plus Wolfram). Doctor Vlakte delved into the deep arts of depression, part of the story foreplaying in the death of his brother or sister (can't remember) and the other half being the thread it's self.

Strumfelder for instance, completely changed after that one thread. Physically and mentally, his persona changed completely upon this website and Wolfram, after an emotional breakdown and disappearence (cleverly turned into granted leave by Wolfram), has also had a chain effect on his character. Now returning in the form of someone less forgiving, with minor physical changes too - from what I've read.

So yeah, these episodes could be turned into subcategories beneath the finished thread area. In a means to file and record the actual threads themselves; Any miscellaneous threads would be diverted to that particular subcategory and so forth. Same with simple battle threads that had no real meaning.

So what do you think? It could be seen as stealing a little thunder from the Wiki, but it isn't either, as it's mainly backing up the Wiki's production, but having those episodes filed on this website for members who wish to read them. Right now, you wouldn't be able to find any of the threads you've mentioned in that Wiki Episode article, without going through the bother of attempting to find them. At least this way, everything's recorded, has it's place and by the end of the following year, we could see another dozen episodes arise. Nothing's forgotten this way.

So yeah - sound good to everyone?
Be needing help of course and I did have Rhys in mind for leading this project, considering he's the Wiki's manager.
