Maps

There is a decision to make regarding maps. There are some that are huge, and take long to load and cause the page to scroll horizontally. As I see it, there are three paths to be taken:

1. Leave maps as they are, scrolling the page but being readable.
2. Downsize large maps to 600px or so, making a few illegible but keeping the page layout, and making the user click two links to get to the large map.
3. Linking directly to the large map, but not displaying it on the page.
4. Having a thumbnail to the right of the page and a caption on it that leads directly to the large version.

• I vote for 1, I believe this will look best and also have the most functionality for small maps. --Poromenos 17:46, 11 September 2005 (CDT)
• #1, unless the map is unbelievably huge like above 2Mb, then #2 --Mezzanine 10:06, 12 September 2005 (CDT)
• I prefer #1 too. Generally when you've navigated to an area page, a fully readable map is the reason. --Tokai 12:08, 13 September 2005 (CDT)
  • Both good points, I will change the maps and the template. Poromenos 06:28, 13 September 2005 (CDT)

This issue has been resolved. Maps will remain as they are, without downsizing.

Guidelines

Should be an entry on how new page names should be created.. Soon will have a mix of pages with articles an/a/the on front, and end. --Jaxxon 17:46, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

• All pages should be named exactly as they appear in the MUD, and categorised as specified (with the article removed). --Poromenos 19:56, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Is it still the policy that Cnames should be capitalized, in order to prevent Category lists from Grouping items A/B/C/a/b/c ? I thought it was covered in the template, or this help page, but can no longer find what I'm thinking about. --Jaxxon 14:09, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

• Figures, I found it after posting Cname --Jaxxon 14:10, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

• Another question: I just noticed that some (newer?) pages don't seem to be available to non-users (try logging out and looking at Category:The Barren Wastes.) Is something wrong with the way I'm posting? --Meddon 08:03, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
  • That seems to be a caching issue, I've cleared the cache and results appeared, hopefully it'll keep working now. --Poromenos 14:27, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
