Ozelot's BR should be 9.3 (RB)

Hello,

I do not know how to edit the specs card. Maybe you could help me out by editing the specs or telling me how to do it? The Ozelot's BR for realistic battles has changed from 9.0 to 9.3 recently (along the Wiesel 1A2). --fraggable (talk) 16:44, 4 December 2021‎ (UTC)

Hello. The spec cards are uneditable. Battle ratings will be automatically updated shortly. Please be patient as it may take a few days to roll out. --Inceptor57 (talk) 13:05, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Economy stats

Hello,

I've got a question about vehicle stats (be it price or economy): where does the wiki get the data from? For example the economy: there is the template Specs-Economy, which then uses #unit:#var:me to get the data from. But I do not get how this exactly works and where that data is ultimately stored. My guess unit:var:me means that the unit is variable and the term "me" is refererring to the page name.

I am considering making a side project for WT which would require getting all SL/RP/GE costs for all vehicles ... and typing that by hand is a bit much for ~ 2,000 vehicles, especially if one would have to redo this everytime Gaijin makes a major update or tweaks the economy. So I was wondering is there is here somewhere a comprehensive list of this, or at least if I would be able to compile one if I'd understand how this works. -- Kan0nenfutter (talk) 20:27, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

About the 2S38 hatches & question

Hello ! First of all, thanks for correcting and approving some of my edits, I'm fairly new and still need some practice. About the 2S38 hatches, you modified my edit from "18 mm + 20 mm" to "18 mm or 20 mm", which I think is incorrect; in the armor indicator you can see first an 18mm layer of anti-radiation liner, and then 20mm of ABT-102 alloy under it.

Also, a user by the name of Larsofd completely deleted the edits I had made on the AMX-32 (105), concerning it's armour and machine guns. Did I do something wrong ? By looking at it's contributions, it's the only one he has ever made, so could you look into it please? Thanks. -- T_rexflameche (talk) 19:30, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Greetings. Yes, you are correct about the 2S38 hatches. My mistake. One of my colleagues have made the corrections. Regarding the AMX-32 (105) edits, I believe it is simply a quirk of the wiki system if a user edits an older revision of the page. So the user may have unknowingly saved their edits onto an older page revision, which would have overridden the current page revision that your edit made. Otherwise from the looks of it, there does not appear to be anything inherently wrong with your edits. --Inceptor57 (talk) 16:38, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Ammo Layouts

Hi there. I wish I'd found your "How to add Ammo Rack information to vehicle pages" page before now. It's hard to get started as an editor here. Documentation exists but is fragmented and inconsistent, and there's no real feedback on the edits.

I've now added ammo info for two vehicles, the SARC Mk IV and the Turán I. You mention that the ammo rack images should be categorized, but I'm not quite clear on how to do that in the editor.

Actually it seems that I didn't read far enough. "Upload Summary" seems to be the correct answer. I'll keep that in mind in the future.

Ammo Guide and beyond

Hi Inceptor57, I wanted to tell you that the guide "How to add Ammo Rack information to vehicle pages" has been very useful for beginner editors and I would find it great if there were more like it, to fill the Help category, for example to make a guide on "How to add Armour information to vehicle pages". I've had a look at the "root" pages like the Wiki Map, the special pages and the Help category and I think they should be better identified as the most important pages in the Wiki for new editors, pages that lead to other important pages.

In short, there should be something like a Starter Pack for new editors that would be like the Help category, leading to all the information about how Templates work, standards, etc.

Thank you for your work, and I hope that the Wiki can develop to be even more useful to new readers. DrSnip3r (talk) 19:11, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Add math extension to mediawiki

There are several pages that have mathematical formulas. Adding the math extension will allow to show them in a pretty way. --PolnischerBandit (talk) 09:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Approvement of non-standard article (not vehicle's passport, historical article, etc.)

Greetings, Wiki senior Inceptor57.

I am writing to you to question about my created article and its probable approvement. Since your colleague Colok76286 have not answered to my request in his Discussion page, I have decided to write to Wiki senior, I mean you, directly just not to waste my time asking the same questions other moderators. Firstly, I would like to ask you about how mine article 'Location Editor. Manual to create a location' suits for the WT Wiki since I do not know much about administrators' and moderators' treatment of such articles that are about something almost unknown and perhaps useless for the most of players. And secondly, if such free-style written article may suit, how long would it take to approve it?

I am looking forward to cooperate with you.

Greetings. That article seems within the scope of our War Thunder CDK section and pages. --Inceptor57 (talk) 21:07, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
