Organization - New template based method (work in progress)

I am working on a new system to organize categories, etc. Basically, all the major categories will have templates by the same name. For example, the Research category has the template Research that puts anything with that template inserted into the research category. However, it also inserts any appropriate headers and submenus. Also, it is good to be hierarchical if possible, at least choose one main parent category and that will be the header template. Additional categories should be placed at the bottom of the article.

This seems to be a good system, and I will be continuing to include as many categories as possible. All of them will be recorded in the template {{Category templates}}, which is being shown below in its still unfinished state. If you have any questions just ask, or if you feel comfortable doing so you can create your own category templates and add them to template Category templates as well. --StarAlchemist 09:42, 11 July 2006 (PDT)

The procedure to create these templates is as follows:

  1. Create new category, for example Foobar (see Help:Categories for more info on categories). On the category page, place the template {{Putincategory}} to inform users on how to use the associated category template. You can see the putincategory template in use here.
  2. Create an appropriate header file. The header files for the six main sections are as follows
    1. {{Reference header}} (view)
    2. {{Interps}} (view)
    3. {{Research header}} (view)
    4. {{Essays header}} (view)
    5. {{Astrologynotes header}} (view - currently empty)
    6. {{Help header}} (view - currently empty)
  3. Create a template for the category with the same name. For example, if the category is Foobar, the associated template would be Foobar, and would be inserted by typing {{Foobar}}. This template should contain the appropriate header template for that section (see above), a link for the category (e.g. [[Category:Foobar]]) and any appropriate subheaders or menus. For example, see the article Sun for an item in the planet category that contains the Planet template.

New look for front page

Hey guys, I am trying to get a look for the wiki that synchs up with the forums. So, you will see some weird changes come and go as I test things out. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Complete makeover to default skin

Reworked the whole look of the site to try to fit it closer to the forums and the upcoming school. Hope everyone likes it, feel free to post your suggestions, complaints and bug notices here. Also, still not done so my apologies if you encounter temporary odd behavior on the site. --StarAlchemist 10:12, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
