Category inclusion
Snarl. This template puts the page using it in Category: DEC VAX Systems. Caveat haquur. Jnc (talk) 19:46, 17 March 2023 (CET)
- "Not any more." - Inspector Jacques Clouseau
- So anytime you edit a VAXen page for a specific model, e.g. VAXstation 3100 Model 76, please check to make sure it has a 'Category: DEC VAX Systems' tag at the bottom. Pages that apply to a group of models, e.g. VAXstation 3100 series, are usually put in the more general Category:VAX. Jnc (talk) 14:34, 24 March 2023 (CET)
New Item Proposal
I think it would be useful to add the item "enclosure(s)", what do you think? Vaxorcist (talk) 19:19, 23 March 2023 (CET)
- That sounds good to me. Go for it (as they say in English)!
- You may have to write a number of new enclosure pages. I did most of the PDP-11 ones (e.g. the BA11 ones) but I stopped there. I see you've done the BA23, but there are a lot of other ones: BA123, etc. Jnc (talk) 20:14, 23 March 2023 (CET)
- Ok, I'll do the "new" enclosure pages; but I think you are the right one for adding the new item to the template.
- I've already started the BA123 one. I think I should do a BA2xx Series of Enclosures page for the BA212, BA213, BA214, BA215, BA216, and the BA220 (maybe even more?). Then there is the BA4xx Series of Enclosures as well, ...
- May take a while, but the longest journey starts with the first step, doesn't it? Vaxorcist (talk) 21:56, 23 March 2023 (CET)
- OK, I will do the template update right now.
- I know exactly what you mean about "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", as Laozi had it. I look back at where this was when I joined... It was only 2015, so not that long ago, but so much has been added. I'm not sure if anyone in the next generation will care about PDP-11's, but for those who do, it is all here. Jnc (talk) 00:19, 24 March 2023 (CET)
- OK; I placed the 'Enclosure' entry in the 'Summary' section at the top of the infobox; it will be easy to change its location to wherever you want if you want to do something different.
- Anyway, take a look at this one, you can see what it looks like. Here is a more complex example of the 'Enclosure' parameter. Jnc (talk) 01:34, 24 March 2023 (CET)
