Al-right. Changed A LOT in the template code. All rows are now visible by default (so you can see if data is missing), the log/planks/leaves/fruit now use itemref and have a "none" option, and the image is working and defaults to the page title.

Feel free to object with this edit, as I probably did something wrong

[ostPavel]

Thanks!  That's some nice code optimization!

I see no possible objections.

And how about that "Tree Info" header, it seems sort of pointless... We don't have similar headers in any of the other infoboxes that I know about.

[Celestial Oblivion]

Usually the search bar is somewhat tolerant, so it should propose "Tinkers' Construct" even if you leave the apostrophe out.

 

Did you try it? When I search it I get the usual list of search listings, I do not get taken directly to the page. That was why I made that redirect.

[ostPavel]

Well, as it's a big infobox, the header is used to catch user's attention. It may be renamed and placed right above saplings/leaves/logs/planks though, if you want.

[dgelessus]

@CO: Actually you're right, it doesn't work as I'd expected. Feel free to recreate that then.
@infobox stuff: Meh, the header is not really necessary. IMO it's also too big for an infobox. Using a h3 or h4 might look better. We could then separate the infobox in "Tree Data" (which is type, biomes, size, etc.) and "Blocks and Items" (logs, leaves, planks, fruit).

Except a lot of people don't use the search bar... also this:

I never saw this. Great idea, im all for it. Maybe add a tools one? Didnt see all the posts yet but i think that would be a good idea

A tools one seems like it would work, how would you suggest it be generally designed?

I was thinking maybe have the durability, how to craft it, fun fact, time it takes to break a block with/without efficiency levels, approx. # of blocks it can mine before breaking, mod its from (if any) A picture, a picture in the hud. Erm..ill think of more stuff

This would be located in a sidebar. The things(durability) could be bolded and easily discernable. Guides on how to bet maximize using the tool itself. Like for example a stone pickaxe would include the pickaxe blurb like

Pickaxes are the backbone of any miners toolkit. Best suited for mining, these tools vary widely in color, durability, and the time it takes to mine a block. Some good items to mine with a pickaxe are..<insert items here>

I didn't consider durability, give it a try.

Bump.

 

Another concept article that could use normalizing with the rest is the Rite of Infusion.

I made a  "template" for article structure guide: (modified a bit to post here)

It's got that formatting in there, I suppose Dgelessus may frown on that... no offence, I just really like it...

 

PS I like the rainbow colours too!

[felinoel]

There is an example for only one type of article...
http://ftbwiki.org/F...ki:Items/Blocks
...but we have so many different kinds of articles, Mobs, Mods/Modpacks, Biomes, Dimensions, Concepts, Weapons, etc.
We need more example articles for how an article should look.

Biomes and dimensions should share the same style guide as they pretty much cover the same information in their articles.

'added by the X mod'

 

I also frown on columns.

[ostPavel]

I prefer one-column structure, too. General style guide should be column-less, imo. Don't forget about mobile users.

That is a good point.

 

(Though do people actually visit the wiki using mobile? I mean most people play FTB using their desktops/laptops...)

[RZR0]

The mobile site needs work, it is on my todo list

[felinoel]

That is a good point.

Some people play on their computer and get wiki info on their mobile I'm sure.

[dgelessus]

Tablets are mobile enough, and I can imagine people using their iPad (or equivalent) to look up info while playing.
