			==Wiki RaceBox==
			I made a Wiki version of the RaceBox. There is a comparison and link on my [[User:Jacius\|user page]]. I'd replace this HTML version with it myself, but I don't want to offend anyone ;) --[[User:Jacius\|Jacius]] 06:00, 31 Oct 2004 (CET)

Jacius: Added helpful usage note... helpful for me, anyway.

	~~== Greek Alphabet ==~~

	Looks good! The one thing I don't like is using the greek alphabet to denote a specific star in a constellation. First of all, the game writes it out (i.e. Alpha Serpentis, not α Serpentis). Second of all, such notation is confusing for readers not familiar with the greek alphabet. -[[User:Fadookie\|Fadookie]] 06:12, 27 Oct 2004 (CEST)		Looks good!

	But wiki markup supports greek! Oh well. I concede, I've been out voted again. Incidentally, the .pdf map that I have uses fake latin: a for α, b for β, d for δ, etc. Epsilon and Eta get confused and then the whole thing just looks dumb. I believe that most scientific star charts use Greek, but that's of little concern. [[User:Mmrnmhrm\|Mmrnmhrm]] 17:15, 27 Oct 2004 (CEST)		But wiki markup supports greek! Oh well.

	Yes, proper star charts do use greek, but I don't think it's appropriate here for the reasons mentioned above. Also, for races that don't have COMM screens (androsynth, humans) do you think we should use the captain portraits from the melee screen? It's also possible to use manual art in some cases. -[[User:Fadookie\|Fadookie]] 04:20, 28 Oct 2004 (CEST)		Yes, proper star charts do use greek, but I don't think it's appropriate here for the reasons mentioned above.

			Ewww... "Quirks mode" HTML...
			# All tag parameters should be quoted, e.g., <nowiki><table border="0"></nowiki>
			# Text alignment, colouring, etc. should be done with styles, the old Netscape <nowiki><font></nowiki> tags and "align" parameters have been deprecated for years.
			# However, inline styles usually look "clumsy". A proper stylesheet and an ID tag for the outer table would be the cleanest approach, is it possible to make stylesheets via Wiki markup?
