: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]?

== How does one get a page recognized by the search engine? ==
 
There are several pages which do not appear in the search results when words in the page title are searched. E.g., the glossary page does not appear in the results of the search for 'glossary.' &mdash;'''[[User: BJ|BJ]]'''<sup>([[User talk:BJ|talk]])</sup> 10:09, 22 May 2006 (PDT)
 
== Skybox Texture Names ==
 
Please add night sky texture properties (i really need them)!
 
 
eny one know why when I launch source sdk it is pepering but does not go on it just disapears and then nothing happens?
 
== Syntax Highlighting Extension ==
 
Please add to wiki this extension [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Syntax_Highlighting_Extension Syntax Highlighting Extension]
 
== Cleaned ==
 
I cleaned up the help section, there was nearly 100+ links to several unrelated and crude sites/advertising.

Who in the world is adding these weird links to this site.--[[User:Lpmikeboy|Lpmikeboy]] 19:25, 9 Apr 2008 (PDT)
