:should be very direct with new players, explaining every step involved in the basic tasks. focus on learning by experiment as complimentary to manual's Player guide which focuses on learning by book. [[User:Compromisery|Compromisery]]

:Looks good!

:Needs more cleaning, and a read over. It's really hard to read to me --[[User:Fattierob|Fattierob]] 22:35, 10 October 2011 (BST)
 
 
:Needs Protection editing
 
::manual should be safe for free editing. if it becomes an issue, we'll just restrict access. [[User:Doran|Doran]]
 
:::Yeah, I was expecting a lot more editing then what's going on --[[User:Fattierob|Fattierob]] 22:35, 10 October 2011 (BST)
 
im wondering if bombing and infantry should be separated, as infantry are related in both planet capture and planet management. also, bombing should just be renamed as 'capturing planets' and expanded appropriately [[User:Compromisery|Compromisery]] 17:59, 12 October 2011 (BST)
 
::i really feel that the manual should be separated into pages for each game-related chapter. it would be as good as hell for anyone who opens the finalized manual and has to load over a hundred gameplay images because they are part of the same page. the amputated manual page can have the chapter intro and links to each chapter. maybe also toss in gaming site reviews?

:Done
 
 
===History Galactica===
 
:Needs cleaning
 
:Needs linking
 
 
certain parts of the HG can really benefit from condensing, shortening of sentences and pictures. embedded images should be used to give a 'visual story' feel. need some artists for it though. [[User:Compromisery|Compromisery]] 12:48, 11 October 2011 (BST)

:Add this in? Add it in and break it up into different pages? --[[User:Fattierob|Fattierob]] 23:08, 5 October 2011 (BST)

:links to manual, faq, roc, newplayer/quickstart guide of some sort

===Category Pages===
 
i think that a number of pages ought to be simple category pages that just list subcontents. for example: "Ships" would just include [[Destroyer]],[[Cruiser]],[[Dreadnought]] et al. without making distinction for faction variants.
 
the page for a hull class, ie [[Cruiser]] also would be a category page which lists all the variants for each faction. Each ship ([[Cruiser#ST-34_Torpedo_Cruiser]]) would then link to a specific page about the
 
craft, rather than a point farther down on the hull class's page, and that's where you'd have info on its armament, speed, turn rate, lore and all the various and sundry goodies that go with, like a [http://www.darkspace.net/images/dsdb/ships/M-400.jpg screenshot]
 
:apply similar set up for gadgets (-> weapons/ship systems -> particle cannon), possibly also star systems, but i think each system can have its own page linked in from the [[MetaVerse]] page, and notable planets would then be linked in to their system's page. ''exception would be a "celestial bodies" group (include stars,nebulae...planets -> gas/terran/arid etc.)'' [[User:Doran|Doran]]
 
 
I think the info on the ship should be on the Hull Page, because creating a page for every ship variant (especially with them being renamed all the time) seems tedious and a waste. I can understand either direction, however, and really don't care which way. Agree with everything else too --[[Special:Contributions/69.74.217.61|69.74.217.61]] 04:58, 7 October 2011 (BST)
 
 
===Spelling, punctuation and grammar===
 
I know some of you may not call English your primary language, and I know others might just want to get pages up first, then worry about readability later, but for the sake of consistency, make and effort to at least spell-check your contributions as you go. Use the "show preview" button if you need to. [[User:Doran|Doran]]
 
*"you" not 'u'
 
*their/there/there
 
*"though" not 'tho'
 
*try to avoid using slang/shorthand/abbreviations (like "inf") unless you've already given a definition for it.
