Would it be possible to make a true multi-language setup, similar to Wikipedia's? I don't know what's involved in making that work (I have a suspicion that it's not feasile here), but it's kind of annoying when half of the time [[Special:Randompage]] brings up a Polish page; also crosslinking articles is rather inelegant with the current system (no framework; also there are some pages like [[Jeep(pl)]].

Emoting can be done in any language and there is not a limit on sources. However, your chars may only speak or understand their spawn language or those learned in game.

It would make things a lot neater if we could use categories and templates to standardize the presentation of items and such.

Some categories of items, such as [[tools]], have all of their elements listed on the same page. Others, such as [[resources]], have separate pages for everything. My gut instinct (as a Wikipedian) is to split everything into separate pages and use categories to tie them together (it makes it easier for people to just type what they're looking for in the search box), but I can see why we might want to keep things in big metapages - it's similar to the format found in IC guides, often the individual data aren't big enough for individual articles, and it would be loads of unrewarding data-entry grunt work. Anyone have any opinion? [[User:Sho|Sho]]

* Deal with orphan pages - I've eliminated a bunch, but there are still a lot of pages that need deleting, which I can't do. [[User:Sho|Sho]]
 
* Decide on standards - stuff like capitalization and hyphenation has been causing some trouble with duplicate pages. [[User:Sho|Sho]]
 
* It's not clear how much of the stuff here is data from Programming or Resources Department people (and therefore probably complete and correct) and how much is contributions from players like me (and therefore likely to need verification). For example, I'm not sure how much to trust the data on the ability of certain boat types to dock to each other; I feel that it looks like some types were left out, but I can't be sure. Some way of, say, putting a stamp of approval on information would be excellent. [[User:Sho|Sho]]
 
* Ban the following IPs for spam: 69.152.35.94 24.202.53.171 68.75.27.99 66.72.161.240 211.117.169.172
 
* Delete the following pages, which are redundant or meaningless:
 
** [[Budynki i meble]] is covered by separate buildings and furniture pages.
 
** [[Coaster Harbour*]] is empty and serves no purpose.
 
** [[Desert Beavers]]: Need I say more?
 
** [[Stormoffires Song stock]] is empty and serves no purpose.
 
** [[Kielnia]] is covered in the tools page.
 
 
 
== "Stamp of Approval" ==
 
 
 
A good idea would be to add notes into the discussion pages stating the information added and from what department.
 
 
 
Personally, I've added the information for vehicles and animals, and so should be 99.9% accurate.

International Emotes link

I have added a link, as requests keep coming up on the forums about how to deal with meetings between characters of different language groups. I have used this before, and assume that its presence on the Cantr wiki means it is a legitimate tool, but as far as I'm aware, dictionaries are a no-no, hence the disclaimer. A formal decision/formal guidance by staff on how to deal with 'international' meetings in Cantr would be appreciated (and is oft-requested)--Hallucinatingfarmer 11:33, 23 July 2007 (EDT)


Emoting can be done in any language and there is not a limit on sources. However, your chars may only speak or understand their spawn language or those learned in game.

No Russian version.
