::Her sock is complettely hiding the "DDE" in "modders" right now (Opera). I can understand the ambition to make the page look like a fancy website, but then you'll have to make those "div"s and cell backgrounds and whatever work at ''any'' resolution and in ''any'' browser, which is a webmaster's nightmare (did you notice that the position in the "div" is relative to the overall frame, so its relation to the page's content is incorrect while previewing?); you just don't want to do that now, and possibly ever. Also, the site map is not dear to my heart (one more page to maintain, in our community, is just one more appallingly outdated page at the end of the day), but I don't think of the "note on the GO feature" as redundant. As for OC, ADHD, EFD and whatever else you may come to call it...

It's never been my area of expertise and I think I prefer it stay that way. I do have to say, though, that the GO note is quite condescending. I don't think it really helps people learn to use the wiki. I mean, the Go/Search box is a pretty self-explanatory feature. If you thought that people weren't using the wiki enough as a resource and needed help getting around, that speaks more to a lack of straight-forward arrangement of articles than their having trouble figuring out the search box. Not that the wiki is poorly organized, but there's still room for improvement. I'll show what I mean in the near future. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 15:03, 1 August 2008 (CEST) | ||

:::::I didn't make up [http://www.lsesnet.com/blog/?p=35 EFD], it just came up while looking up ADD. We've talked about the GO note before, and I don't consider it an insult to intelligence; especially the part that encourages the users to take action if there is no direct hit. About your changes: I disagree with "History of Modding" (there's definitely more to that page than a history lesson) and a few other things, but since I'm the only one who cares, I'll just shut up. As long as you're happy... ^_^ --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 17:05, 1 August 2008 (CEST) | :::::I didn't make up [http://www.lsesnet.com/blog/?p=35 EFD], it just came up while looking up ADD.

::::::See the wording of that link now. Better? Worse? It may not be possible for us both to be completely happy at the same time, but maybe we can at least balance our happiness like a seesaw so we're equally happy. :-) How happy are you with the MP now, on a scale from 1 (seething hate) - 10 (loving it)? I think I'm feeling a 7 right now (no Bungie pun intended), fairly satisfied. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 18:13, 1 August 2008 (CEST) | |||

:I added ONK to the Modding Projects category, which is linked to from "Mods" on the MP, and added a Dev Mode link too. I added it after the link for Cheats so it wouldn't make that column longer (it currently matches the left column in length, which looks nice), and because they're related fairly closely. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 17:59, 1 August 2008 (CEST) | :I added ONK to the Modding Projects category, which is linked to from "Mods" on the MP, and added a Dev Mode link too.
