;How to convert text to hidden on the final version
*Using the visual editor, I notice wiki paragraph instructions tend to get deleted, which they should not.  These serve as reminders especially for future new editors which may make updates, edits or changes and will need those instructions as to what needs to go where.  If information has been added, we don't want the instructions to show, however, we don't want them deleted either.  To render the instructions invisible we use the comment brackets '''<nowiki><!--</nowiki>''' and '''<nowiki>--></nowiki>''', anything between those will show up on the editing page, but not on the final page, allowing the instructions to remain intact, but not show on the final product.  Utilizing the visual editor, what you do is highlight the instruction set, right-click and select "cut".  Next, in the toolbar, click on the "Insert" drop-down and select "! Comment". A popup box should show up where you "cut" the instructions from and here go ahead and right-click in the box and select "Paste" which should paste the instructions within the box. Click the "Insert" button and you should now have a new comment with the instructions which will be available for future users, but not show up on the final page.

* Hello, I'd just like to ask why you reverted my edits on the [[Special:Diff/27411/27416|Yak-3U]]. I can't seem to tell where I went wrong so, for future reference, I was hoping you'd be able to shed some light on the situation.

:: Hello, You did not do anything wrong, I didn't realize that there were two changes (yours and TM_06). I usually work from the bottom up when approving pages and sometimes don't see a second-page edit until after fixing and approving the first.  I have reverted the page to your edits, please check it and make any necessary changes and I can reapprove it. I usually don't have to make any changes to your edits, they are usually spot on! Thanks. - [[User:U64962917|U64962917]] ([[User talk:U64962917|talk]]) 12:27, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

::::::::::* Thanks, your version really does look better! Though check the edits i made to the changed version, as some points were misunderstood. It's really important that people understand how radio communication really works, as they autosuggest it's fuction by name, and name suggests the opposite to what it actaully does. --[[User:U42773747|U42773747]] ([[User talk:U42773747|talk]]) 00:40, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

::::::::::::* Problem is though, as you said, you aren't really a tank mode player, so you have to understand it from common sense basis, or something. So if it did not work for you at first time, then i failed to explain it in a way that does not leave a room for a doubt. If new version makes sense for you, then it's alright, if not, then there is a room for improvement. (who or how will improve it is secondary, as this is wiki) Either way, let me know if there is anything else worth to add/adjust, if you have something in mind. --[[User:U42773747|U42773747]] ([[User talk:U42773747|talk]]) 22:44, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

:::::::::::::* Bangerland, you wrote a huge article, to expect a person new to tanks to absorb it all in one shot and get it is unrealistic, it takes putting what is learned into play and come back for more and build upon what you learn. If anything, it caused me to roll out on two maps with my reserve British tanks and give some stuff a try, looking for sniper spots instead of just rolling out into the middle of the map and shooting @ 500 m with a bouncing cannon and then rage quitting because I got one-shot. I think having Inceptor57 give the article a look over will be helpful as he has a good way of rewording stuff to be easier. He is a bit busy right now but said he would take a look at it. Let it sit right now until Inceptor57 has had a look at it. --[[User:U64962917|U64962917]] ([[User talk:U64962917|talk]]) 23:37, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello, AN_TRN_26.  Thanks for reaching out to me.  I wanted to know where I can find information on the "Details" ("Features", "Limits" "Optimal Velocities", and "Compressor") of planes.  So far, I can't find the info for any of these via the in-game UI.  Could you point me to where they are?

:::* You are correct the move button is both dangerous and useful, mostly dangerous if something gets messed up and it has to be untangled.  If you have added an image and need to rename it, I think that would be fine.  If the old image name has not been linked to a page, then you can rename it and request the improper name to be deleted (Patrioticalien or Inceptor57 can do that), if it has been linked, then you are best off to redirect to the new page. Vehicle pages which have been around for a while, you might just let us know or ask to do the change that way if there was a reason it hasn't been changed yet, we can let you know.

Visual Editing - Some mistakes to avoid

Visual editing brings an alternative way to edit a wiki which does not require you to wade through wiki code. A few things to remember:

  • Do not remove instructions from the different sections of a page (typically identified by an exclamation mark in a circle), a simple mouseover will expand on the entire instruction set.
Instruction block as viewed through the Visual Editor, note the exclamation mark in the circle.
How to convert text to hidden on the final version
  • Using the visual editor, I notice wiki paragraph instructions tend to get deleted, which they should not. These serve as reminders especially for future new editors which may make updates, edits or changes and will need those instructions as to what needs to go where. If the information has been added, we don't want the instructions to show, however, we don't want them deleted either. To render the instructions invisible we use the comment brackets <!-- and -->, anything between those will show up on the editing page, but not on the final page, allowing the instructions to remain intact, but not show on the final product. Utilizing the visual editor, what you do is highlight the instruction set, right-click and select "cut". Next, in the toolbar, click on the "Insert" drop-down and select "! Comment". A popup box should show up where you "cut" the instructions from and here go ahead and right-click in the box and select "Paste" which should paste the instructions within the box. Click the "Insert" button and you should now have a new comment with the instructions which will be available for future users, but not show up on the final page.




  • Do not remove parser and template functions, these will show up as a puzzle piece with a name afterwards (such as "Specs", "Break", "Battle-rating" or such).
For parsers and templates, not the existing puzzle piece and name following. These will now show the actual output during usage of the Visual Editor.
