Editing 2024 Wiki update (section)

=== Namespaces ===
The wiki had a brief attempt to use [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces namespaces] to split between C# and VB6, but they weren't used much([https://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?from=1.10.0%3ARelease+Notes&to=&namespace=3002&title=Special%3AAllPages C# pagelist], [https://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?from=1.10.0%3ARelease+Notes&to=&namespace=3008&title=Special%3AAllPages VB6 pagelist]), and IMO they're clunky to work with. So instead we're using prefixes for now. Generic pages have generic names, but for game concepts that have separate articles for the two [[versions]], use the prefix "C-" for C# pages, and "VB-" for VB6 pages. If you're doing this, you should also have a page with no prefix, using the '''<nowiki>{{generic}}</nowiki>''' template at the top of the page. It will display a note like this when you do: 

{{generic}}

'''Example''': [[Terraforming]] is a generic page that covers the basic concept, and links to [[C-Terraforming]] and [[VB-Terraforming]] for version-specific details. 

If the two versions are similar enough that separate pages aren't needed, then make an article that discusses both, and use the '''<nowiki>{{bothversions}}</nowiki>''' template at the top of the page. That'll display like this: 

{{bothversions}}

If a game concept only appears in one version and not both, you can simply leave it with the generic name. However, because VB6 is the old one, I've also added a '''<nowiki>{{vb6 only}}</nowiki>''' template. The editor should add a link to the C# version if there is one (e.g., '''<nowiki>{{vb6 only|[[Naval Admin Commands]]}}</nowiki>'''), or "nonexistent" if there is none (i.e., '''<nowiki>{{vb6 only|nonexistent}}</nowiki>'''). That looks like this: 

{{vb6 only|[[Naval Admin Commands]]}}
{{vb6 only|nonexistent}}
