The Centaur page looks great - we need a nicer table style though [[User:Julian|Julian]] 09:17, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 
 
Had a look at tables -
 
style="border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000"
 
seems simple to use and quite nice. Does the CSS add-in allow us to name it and use it by name? [[User:Julian|Julian]] 09:36, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 
 
I've tried to get the CSS extension to work but no joy chasing  up with Tim [[User:Birchn|Birchn]] 12:21, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
I followed the link to the FAQ and agree - its not the right start point for users. I've replaced it with direct links to what I hope are the most useful user help pages. These are the ones I use to remind me how to format text, etc. Hope you all approve [[User:Julian|Julian]] 23:30, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 
:Mikes problem was that he did not appreciate that editing was done in a separate section. This isn't clear yet. Maybe need to explain it right at the top. Also think we still need the overall FAQ link as a general starting link.

Proposal for Contents Lists

Guiding principles for Pages:

  1. Always make a page if you want a page, don't wait until there is a good structure to hang it on
  2. Every page should (ideally) be reachable by browsing from the main page in 4 clicks or less
  3. If the structure starts looking messy, change it (with consultation), don't wait for major clean-ups.
  4. Try not to make too many levels. Only include a heading or page when there's is something in it. Empty pages are very frustrating.
Yes, like it. DJJ 10:38, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

By the way - I like "other" better than "Misc" but I think we are getting a bit messy on the front page. "Westerly Yachts" seems a strange heading for something about the company and is confusing compared to "Westerly Classes". I'll have a think. Julian 09:17, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


At the article level sections could be:

1 to n article specific sections. For example very generally before, during and after sections.
Resources Section – containing web links to suppliers of materials or services
References Section – containing cross reference to WOA Journal issues and Magazine articles

This should generate a table of contents if the article structure demands it.

See examples of both above set up under Centaur

New Sections

Added a header to collect material about lif in the Westerly Yard - "Westerly Yard Scrapbook". Subject was suggested to me by a Boatline member. Could provide some fascinating glimpses of the Westerly Yard and maybe some unique pictures.

Also suggest we add a template for a picture gallery so we can collect and display more pictures about each class. DJJ 14:43, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
