Requests for admins

I'd like to request that several extensions are installed:

Several other extensions that came up on #swc-holocron:

<Xanyarr> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EasyTimeline - could be useful as well with all that historic research going on ;)
<@Veynom> and another one I want as well: rating http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Rating
I think http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Rating is a bit over the top and will disrupt the flow of any article if http://dev.openbig.net/index.php/Dev.openbig.net:Ratings is anything to go by (comments especially can be abused and would need policing)...
I would prefer - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AjaxRatingScript / http://masugadesign.com/the-lab/scripts/unobtrusive-ajax-star-rating-bar/ (some installation help is offered @ http://www.leerwiki.nl/How_to_get_rating_script_work and http://www.leerwiki.nl/How_to_port_Unobtrusive_AJAX_Star_Rating_Bar_to_MediaWiki).
Nothing personal Vey... it just looks much better and would require little to no maintenance... ;) --Xanyarr Chyakk 10:53, 3 April 2011 (GMT)
A reference/citation extension would be very helpful. -- Rupert Havok 22:56, 3 April 2011 (GMT)
Another one I'll need: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ToFeed Horthon Gorthy 04:05, 14 April 2011 (GMT)
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DataTransclusion would also be a good Idea, so we can use data directly from the database --Abyhsen Squeegor 14:06, 7 November 2011 (GMT)

internal wiki name & namespace

I think the two cola (or colons if you will) before the internal wiki name (and after it) {{NS:4}} as defined by $wgMetaNamespace in one of the PHP files cause some issues. For example when you edit a page look just beneath the edit box, you have there "Please note that all contributions to" and then abruptly new line as if tag :: was used to indent a paragraph twice. Same thing in the third line where it not only breaks a line to start new paragraph, but also breaks a link to copyrights page...
Could we remove the cola, or replace them with something else? --Xanyarr Chyakk 10:53, 3 April 2011 (GMT)

actually why don't we just make it simply Holocron, thus making all http://holocron.swcombine.com/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Holocron&namespace=0 fall into the usual/default namespace of a wiki?
and since we're already talking about namespaces, could we add GNS as a namespace, for all the GNS articles that have been imported lately, and will continue to be imported... --Xanyarr Chyakk 11:57, 3 April 2011 (GMT)

Races

Why don't we put all Race information's into the category for the race and redirect from the race pages to the categories ? --Abyhsen Squeegor 10:53, 7 November 2011 (GMT)

What about linking all Rules page about ships, races, items... to the corresponding Holocron page (if it exist) for additional information ? It could be really easy to do code wise (1-2 lines of code). Would yo ulike this ? Veynom 17:27, 6 February 2012 (GMT)
Yes, we would :P Jake Azzameen 18:34, 6 February 2012 (GMT)
I second that! :P Also, as suggested before, possibly add a link to each faction page!? :) --Qatar Shendo 19:21, 6 February 2012 (GMT)
I third that! Would be a real great addition! --Abyhsen Squeegor 23:16, 6 February 2012 (GMT)
Ok then propose me a nice wording or idea about how you want to see the link. Should it be an icon, a picture link, some text like link "Holocron::YT-1300" ... where to put it exactly, both on the rules page showing the detailed specs of entities and ont he faction page. :) Veynom 08:20, 7 February 2012 (GMT)
