British missions show the missions by level. Why can't this happen for the other nations? They have the tags, I just don't know how to change the page to fix this. - CheesePlant


Other nations show missions by level too, they just don't get shown on the first page. Pirates will be under P, Spanish under S by default - which at least in the case of the Spanish was on the last page. I fixed that for the spanish missions now. All you need to do is change the sort key:

So you edit the sub-category and add the following:

[[Category:Spanish Missions|''Sort Key'']]

for example:

[[Category:Spanish Missions| Spanish Missions - Levels 01-05]]

Note the blank at the beginning of the sort key. That ensures the sub-category gets filed under <blank> (i.e. at the beginning) instead of under S. Any existing sub-categories that don't get shown on the first page either have no sort key set at all, or no blank at the beginning of it.

I fixed it for the spanish missions for now. I'll take a look at the others this evening

Thanks.

Will the 1.6 patch notes be added to the site?

Working on it. For now we've got the link to the original patch notes in our article (you can find the link on the main page), and a half-wikified version can be found at User:Ailar/Sandbox#Patch Notes for 1.6.34.0. I'll put that one up as soon as I've put in the rest of the internal links. --Ailar 18:45, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

I've had a go at changing this for the Career missions but I've had no luck. How is this done? CheesePlant 12:30, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

By adding |name to sort on to the category tag you supply an invisible name where an article should be sorted on in that specific category. I've changed the freetrader articles. I added 'Freetrader level' as a sort name to the general Career Mission category tag of each mission. For the Freetrader Career Mission I only used the level as a sort name. Now if you look at Category:Freetrader_Career_Missions you see that the articles are listed under numbered paragraphs and in Category:Career_Missions they all fall under the F paragraph. All because of those sort names. It would be nice to do this for the other careers too. You want a go at it? Don't forget to use leading zero's for 5 because the sorting is text based which means that just like aa comes before b, 11 (or 10 for that matter) comes before 5. --Lord Alderaan 15:44, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
I think I sort of understand but I don't know where you've added that sort... I can't see it on the category page or the Freetrader Career missions when I click edit? --CheesePlant 17:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Click history and then click '(last)' on the first history entry. --Lord Alderaan 18:06, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
