Veyrdite test: /* Current Tasks */ Remove, out of date

Please '''Be Bold'''! No-one owns the pages here: go for it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold

=Resources=
== Useful Pages ==
Note: keep these as subheadings on the front page to make navigation quicker

*[[Wiki_Editing_Guidelines|Wiki editing guidelines]]
** General rules
** Links to extra help for editing wikis

*[[:Category:OutOfDate]]
** Lists pages marked with the <nowiki>{{OutOfDate}}</nowiki> [[Template:OutOfDate|template]]
** Please help reduce this list by fixing pages!

== Wiki templates you may want to use ==
These templates have to do with the wiki's content, not the game itself. They are here to make the job of being a human, whether an editor or just a reader, easier.

To use these: type or copy the whole <nowiki>{{Template In Brackets}}</nowiki> into the text of a page while editing it.

=== Whole Page Marking ===
Put these at the top of pages to mark them.

* [[Template:OutOfDate|Out of Date]] — for marking pages that need help
** <nowiki>{{OutOfDate}}</nowiki>

* [[Template:PetProject|Pet Project]] — for mega pages actively being developed
** <nowiki>{{PetProject|author=YourName}}</nowiki>

* [[Template:Deprecated|Deprecated]] — for pages that have been merged or superseded, and will eventually get binned
** <nowiki>{{Deprecated|newpage=The Replacement Page}}</nowiki>
** Ordinary emailconfirmed users can't delete pages. Use this to show you have made the effort & the admins will follow through by looking at [[:Category:Deprecated]]
** Please only mark pages with this ''when you are finished!''
** This is for merging multiple pages into one, not moving a ''single'' page. You can do that already once emailconfirmed.

* [[Template:Unknown|Unknown]] — for pages that make no sense, seem temporary or possibly unrelated to the game
** <nowiki>{{Unknown}}</nowiki>
** Pages marked with this will eventually get deleted

=== Inline Page Usage ===
Use these wherever and however you want.

* [[Template:Note|Note]] — big NOTE boxes superimposed on page
** <nowiki>{{Note | content=Read the rest of the next paragraph before attempting this, else you may get stuck }}</nowiki>

* [[Template:Verify|Verify]] — request other wiki editors to confirm whether something is true or not
** <nowiki>Unvanquished is an engine based on half-life's golden-src {{Verify}}</nowiki>

* [[Template:Rehost|Rehost]] — request for an external page to be copied onto the wiki
** <nowiki>[https://yelloweyedgoats.com/kharnov/pictures_of_kharnov Gameplay Guide] {{Rehost}}</nowiki>
** Read the licensing documentation on the [[Template:Rehost|rehost]] page before attempting to copy marked links

=Staying logged in=
The wiki's login session times out quickly. Simply open up the main site's login page (link in the upper right corner of this wiki) to inherit the 'logged-in' status from the main site (which lasts much longer): you don't actually have to fill in the login information again.

=Contacting the Admins=
If you are having issues on this wiki or want to contact an admin for any other reason ''to do with the wiki'', start with [[User:Veyrdite]]. For all other issues and questions: please use the [[IRC]] and [http://www.unvanquished.net/forum forums].

Use either his:
* [[User_talk:Veyrdite|talk page]] (public), or
* Email (private, if it needs to be) <vey's user name>@gmail.com
