Formatting discussions

Alright, I've incorporated the Clickpic template which I've taken from here. This is so that a wiki visitor, accidentally clicking on an image, will not be brought to the image's metadata page, but somewhere more meaningful.

But... the inventor of this template warns here that IE and Opera may add extra whitespace. This should not be a problem as we are not tiling the images, but if it is a problem, then it is tough because the monobook.css of HAK is protected.

Please those who use IE or Opera check it out. --pepoluan 21:52, 6 September 2006 (CDT)

This is inaccessable to text-only users and other related problems. A better way is to redirect the image description pages to the right page, which I'm going to do now, again, feel free to revert me. ~Elliottmobile (talk | contribs) 06:31, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
See Image_talk:CategoryIcon Foobar2000.png - it's a weird problem I've been getting and I can't seem to fix it. It's on 99% of the images. ~Elliottmobile (talk | contribs) 06:38, 17 September 2006 (CDT)

Categories discussion for the front page

I suggest the following master categories for the front page. Subcategories can be discussed here:

Foobar2000 Foobar2000 Guides and Tutorials
Foobar2000 Plugins
Foobar2000 Tips and Tricks
Technical Codecs
Listening Tests
Digital Signal Processing
Research
Software Audio Players
Technical and Research
Hardware Soundcards
Amplifier and Speakers
DAC
Guides Vinyl Guides
EAC Guides

Hmmm, problem is, Codecs for instance may not have subcategories. And the left column, should it link to the Category description page (e.g. Category:Codec) or just a heading text? --pepoluan 15:40, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
This table is just to discuss the possible categories and subcategories and should not be on the front page. The table you created in the front page is much better than this one. File:Smile.gif I wasn't thinking about linking it to any page, but this may be a good idea.--Beto 15:58, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
What if we merge Codecs into Technical?? They sure are related.--Beto 10:29, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
Merged Codecs into Technical--Beto 13:20, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
The 5 main categories are now in the front page. Subcategorization in the main categories pages still has to be done for the most part.--Beto 14:15, 5 September 2006 (CDT)


Page Discussion

I discovered our wiki's categories facility. What about simplifying this main page to point to the Categories page instead?

--pepoluan 17:44, 1 September 2006 (CDT)


This is a brilliant idea actually ;-D. I think instead of call them tools just generally stick with software --HotshotGG 5:34, 2 September 2006 (CDT)


Excellent layout. I would get rid of the sections as well and leave only the table linking to the categories. Much cleaner and readable.--Beto 18:22, 3 September 2006 (CDT)


Before we continue, I think "DSP" is not precise... some of the articles are not limited to digital signals. I suggest using "Signal Processing" instead... but anyways, what's wrong with "Technical Stuff"? --pepoluan 07:54, 4 September 2006 (CDT)


I think technical or something like it would be better. We already have a technical category...--Beto 08:14, 4 September 2006 (CDT)


I concur. The currently existing "DSP" category (i.e. Category:DSP) is reserved for fubie's DSP plugins.--pepoluan 08:21, 4 September 2006 (CDT)


Suggestions

To put in a suggestion, please use the format specified. Thank you.


Also could there be a note and a link on the main page that says that there is a more complete list of topics on the index page
maybe saying something like that this page is a brief summary of topics on H.A.K. a more complete list can be found here.

--anonymous


And maybe some fun positive words to encourage people to participate in the wiki
and to make a note that when people submit "knowledge" to the wiki, that is safe from vandalisim. e.g. people won't loose there work by some idiot.

--anonymous

I've just added a warning to Talk:Main Page and moved the real page here.

This was a problem on Wikipedia, so it's probably a good idea to make sure here. Feel free to undo it. ~Elliottmobile (talk | contribs) 06:25, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
