Fittings on the Wiki need help. They are all over the place: some ancient, some new; some good, some terrible. They do not inspire confidence, to say the least.
In the interest of changing that, this is a proposal to streamline the Wiki use of Fittings.
Goals
- Every fitting on the Wiki is filed under the SHIPNAME/Fittings subpage.
- no loose fittings floating around in other articles
- Every article that needs fittings should refer to them via link, not include them, unless we are going to develop some Transclusion templates, which might be a nice option
- Layout would be SHIPNAME/Fittings/FittingName, so that each sub/sub page could be transcluded via template
- Every ship has at least one fitting
- old fittings are flagged (redboxed?)
- Define a custom variable that is set equal to current patch.
- The fitting template checks fitting declared version against the variable and redboxes fittings without current patch
- Someone (fitting dept?) certifies fittings with current patch level, and bumps their declared version
- Fitting department changes fittings that no longer work with current patch level meta
