PACKS, MODS, & GUIDE DATA DICTIONARY & PROPOSALS
NOTE
Please sign all edits with your signature by typing four tildes (e.g., ~~~~)With the release of STEP v2.2.9, STEP will shift it's focus to our new paradigm outlined out the STEP:Mandate page for STEP v2.3.0 and beyond. This also means STEP:Extended will be shifted from the main STEP:Guide to a Pack and will be the Official STEP Pack. What is a Pack? Well to quote the Mandate:

You can see a list of example Packs created by users here. Some are using the in-place infrastructure which we're considering to be a Beta format and some are simply using a normal Wiki page. Our goal is to have all Packs using the infrastructure that the Wiki Devs have put their hard work into; however, we need help from the community and that's where you come in!
The infrastructure is still in a Beta state; however, is working for simple Pack creation and should be mostly, if not completely, bug free. We need you, the community, to help improve this infrastructure by using it and providing feedback on its use. Even if you don't play on creating a Pack, you can use it to create a "dummy pack" for testing purposes and these "dummy packs" can be removed later. We're looking for all and any feedback! Everything from feature suggestions to changes and/or improvements on existing features and its use will be helpful. Even if there are Core mods that you think would be best shifted to Extended, we want to hear about it! If you're interesting in testing this out, please contact a Staff member to be added to the Pack Author group on the wiki.
Wiki Development[edit | edit source]
If you know your stuff with Wiki Development and are interested in becoming part of that team, please let us know! We're always looking for new members that can work in this area. Keep in mind the wiki uses https://semantic-mediawiki.org/ .
Feature Ideas, Suggestions and Improvements[edit | edit source]
- Ability to use a custom CSS file via the forms as well as a default one if no custom CSS is provided
- Add Pack Author group to forums with or without a badge
- Tabs to the form on the Mod Pages which users can access to for adding general and Pack information. See discussion starting here.
- See this post for Nearox's well rewritten ideas for mod tables, ToC and more.
