only differences on this to JP's are links under "other reading" and "M2 modding" thought I'd try it here instead of messing up other one. Makanyane 02:26, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
Perfect, I'll put this on the front page. If you want to add anything just edit the front page copy now, Thank you to Mak and Spiff. --Jp26991 10:07, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
Released Modification Quick Finder
does anyone think this would be worth doing ? Probably split between M2 and RTW/BI.. not that user friendly to edit but only way I can think of to get a quick lookup - if anyone likes it what other categories should be in - I was wondering about map type - european , fantasy, other geographical...
This looks good to me - other possible sortable categories could be "Released" - "Yes/No". A seperate table for each game would be the best idea i think to make things easier to navigate. - Spiff
Ah I was only intending to do this for released mods at the moment. Ones in progress don't tend to have set information for the other categories; mod_folder, campaign map, even game its based on can change as things are developed! I was thinking about splitting by game I think you can navigate the actual thing OK by sorting that at last minute but it would probably make it easier to edit. If I keep the game category (so it includes patch version as well) I can make it as three tables on same page and they can get added back together if anyone else prefers that. --Makanyane 04:01, 9 May 2007 (CDT)
HOW THE.. do you make a table sort BC dates?
The three tables in the article now have various attempts at making it work and none do.
I really can't understand why the top one where I just 'added' 10000 to what should be the sortable bit doesn't work!
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Sorting has example tables I've tried duplicating here and they don't work - is that because I'm missing the Template:Smd template? Does anyone understand what that is??????

Sorry Mak I have absolutely no idea about sorting tables, Sim might though. --Jp26991 04:59, 12 May 2007 (CDT)
