BrainStorm

Welcome to Friti's BrainStorm. This page will be basically a combination of a sandbox, and a development page. Pages created and edited here may or may not make it into the the official wiki content.

Also to be found here are some experiments which may or may not lead to something.

The purpose of this is to increase my own knowledge of wiki-related matters (editing, techniques, etc) and to lift the OpenSim wiki to a higher level. In the process, this will also allow me to clean up my user page ;-)

ToDo

The following will use OSSL_Implemented as a starting point

• Check all OSSL functions for example scripts. If no example, add to Category:OSSL functions without example -- Done.
• Check all OSSL functions for threat level. If no thread level, add to Category:OSSL functions without threat level
• Check all OSSL functions for function syntax. If no usage key, add to Category:OSSL functions without function syntax
• Check all OSSL functions for uniformity.
• Make a nice looking page template, to be used on OSSL function pages, and apply this template to all OSSL functions.

New pages

• Collecting orphaned versioning pages under this page: OpenSim Development History
• Orphaned script examples: Example scripts
• Orphaned Grid_List pages: Grid List Orphans

Quick tests. To be ignored!

Templates

Deprecation template.

Purpose: To be used on the pages of deprecated functions. New page is to be created with replacement function. Suggest copying over the content of the page of the deprecated function, and make modifications in the content of the new page.

Usage: {{deprecate|<MM DD YYYY>|<newname>}}

Example: {{deprecate|Nov. 21 1997|Friti}}

Result:

3rd Party template.

Purpose: To be used on pages dealing with 3rd party add-ons, modules, and so forth, so as to clearly, uniformly, and effortlessly mark them as 3rd party software.

Usage: {{thirdparty}}

Example: {{thirdparty}}

Result:

Multicol template

Imported from Wikipedia

Usage

{{Multicol}} is used to start a multi-column section of a page. Between each block of column text insert {{Multicol-break}} and close the last column with {{Multicol-end}}. For example:

{{Multicol}}
This text appears in the first column.
{{Multicol-break}}
This text appears in the second column.
{{Multicol-break}}
This text appears in the third column.
{{Multicol-end}}

Provides this format:

You can have any number of columns. Each column will be the same width, equally dividing the available horizontal space. Each column has a small right margin (20 pixels), creating a "gutter" that prevents text in one column from touching text in the column to its right.

Parameters

This template has two optional parameters: the overall width of the set of columns and the width of the gutter. The overall width of the set of columns can be an absolute value (e.g., 40em) or a percentage of the available page width (e.g., 50%). This parameter defaults to 100%. For example, to create a multi-column section that is only 50% the width of the page:

{{Multicol|50%}}
This text appears in the first column.
{{Multicol-break}}
This text appears in the second column.
{{Multicol-break}}
This text appears in the third column.
{{Multicol-end}}

Provides this format:

The multi-column region is always positioned on the left side of the containing block. To change this, place the above Wikitext in a DIV block that has the CSS attribute text-align set to either center or right, like this:

<div style="text-align:center;">{{center|
{{Multicol|50%}}
...
{{Multicol-end}}
}}</div>
