You may have problems with editing original pages (e.g Controls - is original English, but page will redirect you to Controls/en or other language code. For edit original page you may click to redirect link at header OR just add ?action=edit to adress filed - http://rimworldwiki.com/Controls?action=edit)

Also we need to do something with templates. Simple translation with include not work, need new solution..

Use

{{TNT|static template with translation}}

e.g

{{TNT|nav storytellers}}

Important! When you translate for e.g Boomrat from English to your language, you'll see at 2nd line lang.code (en), you need to change it to your own at lower case.

For example above it will be fr, its necessary measure for include localized template.

@AcDie: Regarding color scheme

Hey, You are using colors on pages with gradients and such, but it is hard-coded. Is there a way to have all the colors used refer to one place only (kind of like a configuration file), so that we only have to change the colors at that place, rather than on every single page ? That would help if we ever manage to have a black skin for the wiki...

Ofc, as I told before, better use CSS for many reasons, 1 is above ^ it is hard-coded. But i don't agree with black/any dark skin for wiki, cuz hard to read + images with white background looks like sh*t.. --AcDie (talk) 11:25, 18 October 2013 (EDT)

There won't be any white background image, so that's not a problem. The wiki we had on Wikia and dark and it was good, and it also was in resonance with the vibe of the game. White backgrounds kill the eyes at night, to boot.
TL;DR: Dark background will happen, one way or the other, so we might as well prepare :]

MediaWiki:Common.css seems there we can add most used styles--AcDie (talk) 14:19, 18 October 2013 (EDT)

One other downside of this colourscheme is the fact that you cannot tell a link and normal text apart. (unless the link´s broken, of course) I am not drawing the longbow about this, it is quite so noteworthy to know how important it is for readers to notice open options for further research regarding variable subjects. Could I suggest changing the colour of the links to something more appropriate, perhaps some hue of dark purple? -- "Ceterum censeo stultus esse delendam" - Jones-250 • Comm 13:49, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Are you sure? Read this. Also added ability use own styles. For example go to vector skin styles page & copy/paste source from here.

What happened to Rimworld wiki?

I can no longer add and edit content on most pages on this wiki, I can only translate things, and most things is already 100% translated and can't be more translated.
The "Edit" tab has perished on most pages and has been replaced with the "Translate" tab.
I'm close to abandon Rimworld wiki because of I can't contribute then I don't want to be here.
