• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Category - Missions - Structuring Content For

Hi Folks

I should have posted this earlier.

I'd appreciate comments from interested parties
on the matter of -
Category - Missions - Structuring Content For



When I initially started deploying the pages
I had little apprecitaion of the implications of page naming,
particularly that titles could not be edited. ;-)

The following examples are only quoted
as they were easy to see in "recent changes".



Before rolling out more content,
I think we need to look at -



1) Coordinating the structure.
The earlier we catch this,
the less re-titling/re-linking/re-categorizing we'll need to do later.



2) Categorizing appropriately.
Particularly for ease of finding from the "Articles" page in the parent category.
Articles in category "FSX"
Articles in category "Missions"

i.e.
Missions is a standalone category.
Very few aspects of Missions need to include the category "FSX".

The user's entry point should be -
Category:Missions
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Missions



3) Rationalising some page titles.
e.g.
Mission Object
Mission Object Reference

Should be -
Reference - Mission Object
Reference - Function
Reference - Whatever
etc.

Also, for Acceleration specific,
and although a long way off yet,
we need to structure titles looking towards FS11.



4) Disambiguating as required.
We don't want to be misleading wiki users
with titles which are not the primary focus of FSX.

e.g.
In the FSX category -
Compiling -
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Compiling

Should be a disambiguation page,
linking to multiple pages -
- Compiling Scenery
- Compiling Photo-Scenery
- Compiling Models
- Compiling Missions
etc.



5) Anything else ?
