but I like fridges
And I like counters but this has nothing to do with the discussion

Fridge’s are nice but I think we could do with some uniformity.
Fridges are pretty cool.
I just paged through the wiki, and wanted to say that you are all doing an impressive job.
Keep up the good work!
Give all yourselves a big pat on the back, you have an official dev approval.
Have I ever told you how much I love you, carlos?
It’s like slave labour, but with stockholm syndrome thrown in.
Hooray for Carlos! Now you don’t have to change the chapters page!
But i miss Bean.
Oh god no, he’s back :aah:
7 days just isn’t enough.
I was wondering why it was quiet. Then I realised someone was missing.
Oh great. So my work in the Characters page (and by extension, the Enemies page that I’m doing) went to trash!?
No… So, Now I’m the guy that says “Leave my thumbnails alone!”. If you want consistency, let me keep it between the Character and the Enemies pages - and finish my job.
I say this cause the Chapters page is a separate thing in my point of view. Square icons works better with the chapter, not so much with characters. If you want to use Cman’s template, use it with the chapters. Not enemies and characters.
sorry Conti, but you more than anyone have been pretty set on keeping things consistent,
I know, Cman… I know…
Damn, my beloved work! And I was really proud of what I’ve done so far…
Ok guys, go on.
Hi all. I think I only have like one other post on the forum from a month ago, so I’m pretty lowly here. But I was going through the Wiki a little and have a suggestion, feel free to ignore it if you must.
On the ‘Chapters’ page, shouldn’t the bottom row of thumbnails/icons be blank, or have a question mark, much like some of the icons on the ‘Characters’ page? Only because we haven’t seen these areas in BM, and so it implies that they are still a mystery to the wiki-reader before they even view the article.
Also, it would retain consistency with the ‘Characters’ page, where unrevealed characters (Barney, Kleiner…and I think one other) only have a question mark logo (as opposed to images of them from HL1)
The Xen thumbnails are arguably better placeholders then blank squares with question marks.
This is your oppinion.
Natedog said exactly what is the reason of the question mark as placeholders.
They are there to show clearly that the characters/areas wasn’t revealed by the devs until now. To keep the suspense.
Also, the wiki is about Black Mesa, and not about HL1. So, why the hell put HL images there? Some people not even know the difference between a BM screenshot and a HL one - specially inside a thumbnail. Imagine a guy that never knew the existence of the forum, and knows almost nothing about BM. He checks the wiki and thinks “Eh? This is the Xen from Black Mesa? WTF… Is a shit! Look at that Nihilanth… Crap!”. This could sound exagerated, but it happens.
I agree, the question marks are what’s best.
