Thread: Restructuring the Wiki (aka Spring Cleaning)

As I said, use the Sandbox, as the front page is one of the few pages that are actually locked.

Thank you. Still wondering what to do with the rest of the material we have, and how to structure the rest better...

More ideas [is it better if I edit the sandbox to present them? ]

About Related reading:

5. Bibliography on Straights, Shaving and Razor-related History and Traveling With a Straight Razor could be moved to Shaving Equipment (easier to find them if I'm looking in the Wiki for some info)
6. SRP axioms of shaving could be moved to Shaving with a straight razor
7. Glossaries could be included as a link in Getting Started.
8. Straight Razor Links could be included in Other [SRP] Resources.

About Important Safety Tips:

9. Safety tips moved to Repairing and Restoring;
10. Sterilization moved to Shaving
11. Toxic woods moved to Restoring
12. Razor Acquisition Disorder moved to Help Files (Miscellanea)

EDIT: About Miscellanea:

13. Whant to help moved to About this Wiki as a "short link" (I'd look there if I whant to understand how to contribute to the Wiki);

No, it would be best if you came to the chat. http://straightrazorpalace.com/index.php?pageid=chat

Because I've implemented more changes, some of which supersede yours...

Nice experience my first time in the SRP chat! Thanks BeBerlin!

Is it possible to keep the window showing the latest razors added to the database? That's a very convenient feature. Thanks.

Regards - Walt

I'd like to return the compliment. Just for the record, clavichord has been a tremendous help in editing the Wiki to its current status (click to enlarge):

Comments and suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

I'm thinking about an additional row (actually, it's a table...) with "featured article" and "featured razor". The latter will be pulled from the SRDB including picture.

In the meantime, we'll put the latest razor in a sidebar, if we can. Here's the interim result: Sandbox - Straight Razor Place Wiki

I really like it!

But I'm a little bummed that it looks awful at 1024x768
I guess that is a cross I will have to bear at any rate

The featured razor would would be great, but I like to look at the newest additions to the databank and that little window is very helpful.

Well, here's a little something while we fix the front page...
