== Designer Tags ==
Do you think we can delete some of the not used files?


Since you're the 'official connection' to OFPEC here, I wonder what you think about [http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Bohemia_Interactive_Community_talk:Community_Portal including the OFPEC tags] on the Community Portal.<br>
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki?title=Special:Unusedimages&limit=500&offset=0
I'd be happy to help posting the stuff here, but I wonder what OFPEC's plans and position is on this issue?<br>

Hey there,


<merging topic from Community Portal>
I'm not sure if empty pages like [[Armory]] will actually do any good. An article with nearly no content (or any content to the related subject) will remove the article's name from the list of wanted pages, and appear blue (ie. existant) instead of orange (ie. non-existant) wherever it's referenced in other articles. This could be a little bit misleading :)


Should the Wiki also become a depository for designer tags, as they were introduced by OFPEC a while ago?  ([http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:uI7vLyItq0kJ:ofpec.com/tags_about.php+ofpec+tags&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1 cached version of old page])<br>

Since they affect addon makers as well as scripters the Community Portal might be the best place for them.<br>

I think that would be a good idea. Just start converting it. Maybe we have to protect the page so that nobody "steals" a tag.

Hello Hoz :)

can you please recommend me a site here in the BIKI where to add some suggestions about modding ArmA in general, like how to get ArmA start up as fast as possible. As alternative i could do a new page - again this would need a suggestion where things page should get mentioned in here. Cheers!

I think using TAGs would be a good way of ordering both the community mods and community homepages section under one category with a respective page for each TAG. This would allow readers of the wiki to find a synopsis of the work under a TAG, as well as external web-pages, forum discussion and downloads etc all related to one addon author/group. The TAG pages can all link back under the same category, and are therefore placed in an alphabetical order by the wiki.

I think putting the TAGs on the wiki might not be as good idea as one might think. Having a reference here would be nice, but registration should be handled by either a third-party or BIS themselves. The tag system is informal, I know, but a wiki page would have to be protected and we'd have to rely on someone else to update it anyways. Why not make it a bit more automated like OFPEC had and just throw it on a dedicated site (with XML or RSS feed perhaps for the wiki?).
== CfgRecoil page ==


I have the capability to automate a system and provide a stable way to access it (SOW Site has been up for 3+ years on a reliable host). I volunteer my services. I would even volunteer dedicating a portion of my site to a domain name owned by someone else or the community as a whole (such as "ofp.officialTags.com" and "arma.officialtags.com" or "ofptags.com" or "bistags.com") However, someone like OFPEC would be better simply because of the popularity of the site already.
I suggest to move the content of this page to a newly created page called cfgRecoils:
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/recoil
and make the recoil page forward to the new page. What do you say Hoz? --[[User:WGL.Q|WGL.Q]] 00:00, 22 September 2007 (CEST)


[[User:CrashDome|CrashDome]] 22:19, 2 August 2006 (CEST)
I renamed the current page, should it be cfgRecoil or cfgRecoils? [[User:Hoz|hoz]]


:The reason why I would like to have the tags here is reliability. OFPEC was down for ''months'', and they still don't have the tags back up. (Or have replied to this inquiry.) ''You'' may be very willing and able right now. But what about in another 3 or 5 years? OFP/ArmA may be the last thing on your mind by then...
You are right, cfgRecoils! May bad :-)
:I think the tags are too important to leave to a third party.
Thanks Hoz! --[[User:WGL.Q|WGL.Q]] 07:44, 22 September 2007 (CEST)
:But, actually, the whole issue may be moot soon. AFAIK, BIS is working on a system of "approved addon makers". And I'm sure together with that there will be some sort of tagging scheme. (I'm just guessing/hoping here regarding tags. But perhaps ''that'' will turn out to be the permanent and reliable solution.) --[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 23:13, 2 August 2006 (CEST)


::I agree, they are too important to hand to just anyone. I merely suggested simply because a wiki cannot be automated like OFPEC had or BIS is planning and offered if something was needed interim. If BIS is going to handle it, then I most certainly support that above anything. --[[User:CrashDome|CrashDome]] 23:47, 2 August 2006 (CEST)
== ArmA: Server configuration Windows page ==
Hi Hoz,
can we clarify the arma_server.exe -profiles= parameter use, it doesn't work when you run the dedicated server .exe, -profiles= currently does


::I would also like to add that while I cannot guarantee being online forever, the reason it's been dead for ''months'' is because no one has come forward to offer the services (that I know of). Even if everyone else wants them on the wiki, my offer still is on the table ''if needed''. --[[User:CrashDome|CrashDome]] 23:52, 2 August 2006 (CEST)

== Tag listing ==
When we add this, do you think we should add ?a:b,c,d as well? I mean this works in sqs:


It would be great, if the tags could be included in this wiki. Like if you want to register, that you have to give your name, e-mail address and tag. Like this, the tag would be "protected" in a easy way and only one person could have the specific tag.

The pages for addons and modding a bit of a mess, there are reference lists, the very basics on getting an addon to run, and the ArmA:_Addon_Editing, getting armed to load as fast is possible could be a page of its own linked from various places like ArmA: Startup Parameters.
