User talk:The Yorkman

Article structure

I think the Yorkman would fit better in its own article, which would describe the paper and link to the current version. Issues would be located at The Yorkman/Issue 1, etc., and this user page would be left for you, the user who has actually written the paper. After all, I think user pages should be pages for users, not pages for game information that isn't user-specific.

We could easily use a template to link to the latest version (or simply include the number of the latest edition, to be linked to like [[The Yorkman/Issue {{LatestYorkmanIssue}}|this]]). After a new issue is uploaded the template could be changed just once and all pages across the wiki that linked to the latest version would be updated at the same time.

If I don't hear back from you, I'll probably move the current issue to The Yorkman/Issue 1 and create The Yorkman as a brief description of the paper with a link to the latest version.

I enjoyed issue 1, by the way. Keep it up! — Elembis (talk) 05:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips, I'll move that around later today. I'm a bit new to this whole Wiki business, y'see. Thanks for the code improvements, too! :) -- The Yorkman 18:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I've moved everything around as suggested. Templates are all a bit over my head, how would I go about creating one to link to the latest version? -- The Yorkman 19:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Editing help needed

Is there any way to get a picture to link to another page within the wiki, thus allowing more direct links when we run small adverts to pronmote other groups? -- The Yorkman 12:39, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but it's messy; see Help:Navigational images on Wikipedia. One problem is that, on wikis, people expect that clicking on an image will take them to that image's page. I think a better thing to do would be to add a text link to the page under each ad. In fact, I'll do that right now. — Elembis (talk) 03:08, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
