Talk:RPStories

Finding stuff in this section is a nightmare. Order them alphabetically or by author, maybe? Easier than figuring out the chronology.

By author is good, as it won't disturb the chronology of my stories.

Authors only get a tag with their name after they have placed four or more stories.

The quick link in the left sidebar for RPStories lists itself as being invalid.

It states the following message:

"Oops! European Steamwheedle Cartel does not have a page with this exact name.


 * '''Click here to start this page or here to search for this phrase on the wiki.
 * If a page previously existed at this exact title, please check the deletion log."

Is it just me, or is the link broken in some way?

You're right, it's broken. Links in the menus are cases-sensitive, it has RPstories, while the page is called RPStories (and the correct spelling sould be RP Stories :P). I'd fix it, but I either can't find it or don't have permissions to edit infra.

About listing: could we have "part X of story Y" as a single page called Story Y, and use title lines to separate different parts (see The Precipice for what I mean)? It'd be easier to read, cause less bloat on the index page, and if a linked index box like on the char pages would be handier than going back to the index page. Loading pages is annoying.

The problem with having several chapters in one story is that it'll eventually exceed the recommended 35 kb, and then some browsers will have problems loading them, or something. Or that was at least the warning for Liz's article, which is also why I broke it up into an additional independent section like I've done with the stories.

That's strange... the link works fine for me. I'll investigate further. To start with, I recomend you do Ctrl + F5 to do a complete refresh.

--Admin Richeron [ T | C ] 16:21, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Found the error. Corrected.

Fix works, Rich. Gold star.

As for Liz's article, I think the 35kb warning is bullshit. Large articles might strain Wikia's database and make pages load slow (or not at all if their database really sucks) - browsers don't care. We can test it of course with a dummy entry, but I honestly think a slow-loading page is less annoying than a bloated index and reloading the index to get to the next part - usually I just don't bother.
