NMS Index Development Documentation

New Properties

NMS_AllCats
Holds all categories for NMS for use in the displaying of categorized data on pages under the NMS namespace
type=Text
strictly "allowed values"

The name is flexible, but I prefer things named for what they do. This helps anyone looking at things to more quickly understand what it's for.

Using Properties

Properties are applied to pages, just like Cats. Calls are made by using category+property to narrow down content to specific subjects.

Example: Cat:Index + Property:NMS_Entity = lists all pages with the Index category and the Entity property

New Categories

Uncategorized
Holds pages that are uncategorized due to users unsure of which category or properties to use for the new page. A new "maintenance" page will be created to list all of these pages. From there, the curators can quickly view pages that need require attention for proper categorization.

Conversion Tables

GameFiles seem to be folder names that house NMS game assets? ~z929669 Ixian Insignia.png Talk 15:54, July 20, 2021 (UTC)

Please define the Index ... it seems like an arbitrary categorization of information (like at the end of a book)? ~z929669 Ixian Insignia.png Talk 15:56, July 20, 2021 (UTC)
