:No probs, I think we should definatly get somekind of sandbox page in the navigation page.
 
::Is the sandbox just something that you can use to check on formatting rules for the Wiki?
 
::: Yah, pretty much. -^Ben
 
::::The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sandbox Wikipedia Sandbox] is automatically cleaned every 12 hours. It is also manually (and perhaps automatically) cleaned of offensive content as needed. — [[User:Greentryst|Dan Johnson]] 18:27, 27 Jun 2005 (PDT)
 
The contents of this page and [[Help:Editing]] were rather silly, so I put some actual content here, gathering resources largely from Wikipedia. — [[User:Greentryst|Dan Johnson]] 18:51, 27 Jun 2005 (PDT)
 
I've added a link specifically to the Wikipedia Speedy Deletion Policy, and I've also added a section on Templates that has links to the five I've just created as well as a (brief) description of how to use them appropriately.--[[User:Graham|Graham]] 09:48, 3 Jul 2005 (PDT)
 
 
We should have some kind of an article laying out guidelines for basic formatting (three things come to mind at this very moment: a) whether to use level 1 headlines at all, b) when talking about file locations, should I include the first slash, example: <code><span style="color:red">/</span>props_foliage/tree_deciduous_02a.mdl</code>, and c) should I use code tags or cursive in the before mentioned example). If there already is one, then my not knowing about it says it's buried too deep :) An article like this one should also contain a FAQ section for questions of this kind.

when talking about a file, make it relative to a mod's directory:
 
<code>models/props_blah/blahblah.mdl</code> or if it's a src file <code>src\blah\blah\blah.cpp</code>&mdash;'''[[User:Ts2do|ts2do]]''' 13:37, 4 Mar 2006 (PST)

How come does this wiki not display a "start an article with this name" link when a search comes up with zero results? Like, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=lorempipsumdolorsitamet&go=Go wikipedia] vs. [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=loremipsumdolorsitamet&go=Go VDC]?
