I always thought it would be nice to have it threaded as well as separate pages. So that a newb would click on server.ini/server.cfg/arena.cfg/whatever and it would take them to Settings which would let them explore through the various settings for the one they're looking up. Then, when working with modules that require certain settings, the individual settings can be linked from that page as well. | I always thought it would be nice to have it threaded as well as separate pages.

(D1s: Just a thought, but wouldn't it be better to be 1 page with a table of contents?... I'd do it but I don't know how) (ed: To be an online template.sss)
Smong: I think the page names should be prefixed with the [section], although I don't think you can use : as the bit on the left becomes a namespace or something.
Whatever makes it easier to just type into the search somesection:somesetting to get help on it. Maybe experiment with some page names and content to see what comes up in the search.
Some things I dont like
When viewing a page its hard to tell where it belongs. I clicked Mode on the recent edit page and all I saw was what it does. Wheres this at? I dont know. You guys can subcat the Settings more to get the actual settings section involved, be alot easier.
Way too many pages
It would be much nicer to just have all the bomb settings on the page for the [Bomb] section. I mean, right now it's just silly. We're trying to make up for the simplistic search. I mean someone can still type JitterTime and get to the Bomb page, right? --Cyan~Fire
Smong: Categories don't get used in the search though. Although I agree with Pests you can't tell where a setting is from, so if you end up at a setting page from a search you don't get the full picture. You need to at least say which section the setting comes from, fx: Misc. Maybe even which file, server.cfg, server.ini, etc/
So wouldn't the obvious fix be having each setting on its section's page? --Cyan~Fire

So that a newb would click on server.ini/server.cfg/arena.cfg/whatever and it would take them to Settings which would let them explore through the various settings for the one they're looking up. Then, when working with modules that require certain settings, the individual settings can be linked from that page as well.
But right now they're pretty much floating with only a single tie back to the Settings page. --i88gerbils
