(wiki) [[games]] page with template?
Posted: 12 May 2011, 19:01
I was thinking how the games (http://springrts.com/wiki/Games) could be made better.
ie It is not easy to add new games without fucking up the layout.
So I though maybe something like this:
http://love2d.org/wiki/Category:Games
would work better?
It is automatically generated by some template thing:
http://love2d.org/w/index.php?title=Cat ... ction=edit
Adding new games is as easy as just copy&pasting some template over into the games page. And filling out the fields, for example:
(of course some better fields would have to be decided)
Nobody would have to worry about accidently breaking the entry of other games by forgetting a | } or something, like it can happen when editing the games page directly.
tl;dr
I tried to copy&paste this:
http://love2d.org/wiki/Category:Games
into spring wiki to make a self updating games page.
good/bad idea?
It did not work anyway
