I double checked with the how-to-edit-pages page on decktet.wikidot.com and the image for knots can't be found. It just shows as a "broken image icon", but the other suit images can to found!?

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have a web page describing the pandemonium deck, but, apparently, I can't put a link to it in this post, since I'm a new user to the forum. (Should be the first hit if you Google "divnull pandemonium deck", if you care).

Though it is for a role-playing game, the pandemonium deck is not really a game on its own, so doesn't seem to fit in the "games" section of the wiki. I'm not really sure where (or if) to add it. Opinions?

Consequently, I have added a category "Other Languages" to nav:side. (I hope this is no breach of etiquette to make changes to such a prominent parts of a wiki…) I added links to maka's list of the his translations of the games, and one to my German welcome page. I listed the languages in alphabetical order (like the cross-language links in Wikipedia).

I hope this is an acceptable solution.

So, the test page is Test-Suits and we have now three sets of pics.

I personally like all three, although I agree the special set (the last one) is the most readable at such small size. Still, the b/w symbols look great too, and the original ones don't look too bad, and are the most recognizable as they're taken from the cards themselves…

Of course, the obvious would be a picture of the card, maybe a list of back-links to all the pages that link to them, etc…

Another possible change is to make the Comments for each game page hidden by default. What do you all think of that one? It makes the game page look cleaner, but at the same time offers no indication of how many comments (if any) are there on that page, which bothers me a bit. Anyway, it's also true that new comments for games also appear at the forums and at the recent posts page and RSS feed, so it might not make much difference in usability…

Thoughts?

She urges people with Tarot-ish interests to come and contribute to the wiki. Should we add an extra forum for interpretive discussion, since all the existing forums are either general or specifically about games?

As an aside: This prompted me to clean up the fortunes page that Jens started. I've added links to page categories card: and suit:, because it made sense structurally.

Categories

Categories are groups of related pages. A page can only belong to one category. For example, all game pages belong to the "game" category. All the designer pages belong to the "designer" category.

To create a page that belongs to a category just add the name of the category before the name of the page, and separate them with a ":" symbol. For example: http://decktet.wikidot.com/game:ace-trump

If the page doesn't exist, you'll be given the option to create it.

Anyway, there's a short cut to create new game pages. The form on the sidebar automatically adds the page to the game category.

You can make lists of pages belonging to a category. For example:

[[module ListPages category="game" order="titleAsc"]]

This would make a list of all the games (and you can see the result at the All the Games page.

Tags

Tags are labels that can be applied to existing pages. Just click on "Tags" on the bottom bar of a page and you can add as many tags as you want to a page. Tags can't contain spaces, so you'll see many tags like: work-in-progress, etc…

On the sidebar there's a tag cloud. Clicking on a tag name will take you to a list of pages that have that tag. But you can also make lists of pages that have (or don't have) certain tags. For example:

[[module ListPages category="game" order="titleAsc" tag="tableaux-building"]]

This would list all the games that have the "tableaux-building" tag, so it's a great way to further classify games using different criteria like mechanics, themes, number of players, etc…

Feel free to add your own tags and create your own lists, but be sure to check the List Pages Module Help to see how to format the lists you can automatically create.
