P-3C Orion: Weapons

[ASWnut101]

Just created the article in the wiki. Please let me know what you think.

P.S. I couldn't get any pictures, sorry.

Looks Ok. Did you take a look at the other Platform weapons articles ? Because we have a template there which is easy to use and then the stuff looks a bit more uniform.

Yeah, I saw them, but I decided to do a text only version because at the time I couldn't capture pictures to use (I think the problem is solved now), and because it seemed to hold more information (the weapon descriptions) than the other ones. I'll go ahead and redo it if you want.

The pictures are easy (unless you wanna use real ones) all you have to do is "unzip" the appropriate weapons*.grp and you have all the nice looking pics you want.

As far as the templates go, shouldnt be a big problem to add additional information either in a general or specific way above or below the tables.

[ASWnut101]

True, I'll get to work on it soon.

A question: To upload pictures, do I just use the "upload file" feature, then use the filename when creating the article? Or is there something else to do?

[OneShot]

Yep, use the upload file feature and then you have to use the filename in the template. I'd suggest you check the other articles on how its done.

[ASWnut101]

Ok, since I'm having so much trouble with extracting the pictures, I'll just use real ones.

Oh and Oneshot, what articles? :confused:

I think e.g. this one:
688(i) Weapons - DangerousWatersWiki (http://www.commanders-academy.com/wiki/index.php?title=688%28i%29_Weapons)

It uses the the templates made for Torpedos and Missiles. You can see there how they are used in the articles. It's also possible to build new template if you need them or to change the existing ones....
