The tutorials section is really confusing me. I thought I put a tutorial up but it's disappeared, and I'm not sure why there's the whole (go to Tutorials for editing) thing. Can someone explain/fix?

Table of contents should be higher up, maybe in a frame to the right.

You didn't categorize the tutorial. You can view the source code of your tutorial (which has since been edited); the categorization code is the link at the bottom. (To put something in, say, Category:Foobar, you add a wikimarkup link to Category:Foobar. To actually link to Category:Foobar, you add a wikimarkup link to :Category:Foobar.)

I've categorized it, but it still needs to be added to [wiki]Tutorials[/wiki].

So I put Category:Tutorials?

I already have, but it still needs to be added to [wiki]Tutorials[/wiki]. Gogogo!

Reverted skin back to original as Dev doesn't seem to be currently working on it and the little things are increasingly annoying over time when trying to do work in the wiki.

I might just end up starting the wiki off with a SEN independent skin.

A little something I'm working on using Firebug:

I call it "SEN Mint".

Hawt!

Love it, looks great.

'Bout a third of the way through the monobook.css file I've been editing, not taking difference in styles (whitespace formatting, that is) into account. I've mostly just been wandering around on random pages for the wiki looking for anything that needs restyling or could be improved.

Nice.

The SCII wiki's project namespace is "Starcraft 2" (giving us things like "Starcraft 2:Community portal"), rather than "Staredit Network". I suspect this may be a result of your attempt at setting up interwiki links between the SCI and SCII wikis. (Rather than registering "Starcraft 2" as an interwiki prefix in the SCI wiki, it appears you've renamed the SCII wiki from "Staredit Network" to "Starcraft 2".)

So I noticed (basically by spam-clicking "Random page" that we have a ton more articles than it seems. Is there an easier way to see a list of all the articles that have been created so that http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Category:Tutorials can be updated?

http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Special:AllPages

There really aren't that many...

Compared to the 4 on http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Category:Tutorials there are.

EDIT: THIS ENTIRE POST SIMPLIFIED:

• I've got the skin to a usable and stylish state. I haven't converted all of the Monobook CSS, but every page that I can find has been styled using this skin. It's usable. Use it. I attached the code as a TXT file.
  
• HOW DO I SKIN WIKI? I can write the CSS, I've no clue how to implement it.
  
• @IP: If you actually want to add/remove items from the skin list rather than just replacing one of them, go here. The info's old, but it should still work... mostly.
  
• My posts are way too fucking long.

I'm a forgetful bastard, I'm probably not gonna get much farther than this unless y'all nag me, but the SEN Wiki skin (mint) is in a usable state right now. I decided to continue using a white background for several reasons (readability included), so the chances of the layout breaking on pages that I haven't tested are absolutely minimal. At worst, you'll see some tables that aren't rounded or mint-colored.

Code attached. It's more or less a heavy modification (and reformatting) of Monobook, hence the notice I left at the top. GPL, GNU, whatever the fuck license they use, I don't care, as long as I get credit for my edits, which seems to be the case.

At first, I wanted to split the style in half -- one half for layout, one half for colors... Eventually, I was like, "fuck it", but you'll still see some of that segregation-by-purpose type o' thing in the code... I may merge everything, make it a bit more organized, if the need arises. But for now, the style is functional, so go ahead and use it if you feel like it, IP.

(Because I don't know how to implement styles on a wiki -- only how to write 'em.)

EDIT:
IP, you may find this information useful. It tells how to edit the PHP to add new skins and hide skins from the Preferences list. In other words, we don't need to replace a style that's already there; we can actually add a "SEN Mint" (or just "Mint") (or whatever you wish to call it) skin to the list, and set it as the default. Alas, AFAIK there is no GUI-based way to do this.

I suggest we add a category called Reference. It would have what I'm guessing are centreri's slope and physics pages, the mins and gas pages, etc.

I've added all the tutorial pages to the tutorials category (I think) and added the tutorials category page so it isn't red all the time. I'll start adding in the video tutorials when I can. I also added another page, currently in the tutorials section: http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Starcraft_2_Models
It's a work in progress, but has some basic info there.

How do I add a table of contents to pages, such as what the GalaxYEdit page has?

I suggest cleaning up your biased mode of writing, Jack. Plus get your facts straight before coming up with something. SC2 doesn't use "standard polygons". It uses triangular meshes.

3ds Max is a great tool and you needn't dis it every single opportunity you have.
As the Wiki Lead, JCobb, you shouldn't allow this kind of crap to happen on the wiki.

Regarding the video tutorials, I've started to transcribe all the SEN ones so that we can have a written explanation as well for the Wiki. Once I format them a bit better and take some screenshots, that will help a lot for those tutorials.

My issue with the Wiki now is that we have a lot of content to put on there (or at least expand on) and none of it is making its way on there yet. My small goal for SEN at the moment is to make it a viable resource for SC2, and if the Wiki is the best way to pull that off, then it better be stellar.

EDIT:
And I added the ToC for you. Basically you have to have at least four titles with "=" or "==" or "===" and whatnot, and it automatically formats it.
