Any change we could have related pages linked in the bottom of the page again? Example:
On the SetPos page ([url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/SetPos[/url]), in the bottom of the page it would show up a dirrect link to the GetPos page because its kinda related to SetPos.
I remember we had that on the old wiki, was pretty useful to have.
Ok, I made some changes. Page browsing should be faster now, the 1-2 second 'page finished' delay caused by creating the nav bar on the left is gone.
I haven't restored the search box column filtering functionality yet though, so will try to do that later on in the week.
Can you color the list dots according to whether the item is clientside (yellow), serverside (blue) or shared (maybe a neutral color like grey)? In the old Wiki those icons really helped me when looking for a certain function knowing where I need it.

That sort of defeats the purpose of the quick nav search. If you wanted to see whether the functions in the list were server side or client side you should actually look at the library's page.
Otherwise why even have full pages for libraries.
I can't see the reason for that. When you click and go to the page it will tell you.
[QUOTE=elowin;39771124]While looking snazzy is always nice, that would mean I would waste valuable milliseconds of time when searching, which is bad.[/QUOTE]
Fair enough
Does anyone know of a cached version of the wiki so that I can actually use it for coding? For example all of (maybe) the hooks have no description or what they return.
P.s. I know about the old gm12 wiki but I think some hooks changed.
You want a cache'd version of the wiki with all the functions filled out but not the old one because the hooks changed?
Do you think we deleted all of the hooks from the new wiki at some point?
I though that the old version, before you changed the wiki, had all the hooks on it. My bad.
After reading what you said... it is a stupid thought.

Not all of the hooks from GM12 are completely different in every way to the one's from GM12.

That's the old wiki, a lot of the information will be wrong though, I'd suggest just posting a help thread in the modding help section if you're encountering problems.

@>>oubliette<<
I said i already know about that gm12 wiki.
Can someone document [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/IncludeCS]IncludeCS[/url]? Doesn't it AddCSLuaFile and include it? Can someone clarify exactly what it does? If it is what I think, it's really useful, but nobody uses it.

Why is everything except for regular text showing through the sidebar?

Done, but you should probably search the Lua code yourself next time

Oh, sorry, I didn't find it when I searched for some reason. Thank you!
[url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Category:Modding_Tutorials[/url]
Why do we have "Adding Console Commands" "Removing Console Commands" and "Console Commands"?
I think the Adding/Removing ones should be deleted, all the info is in the third one anyway.
Mark it for deletion then?
I personally think that you should get a team of talented lua coders that are well aware of all if not most functions, and go through all of them on the wiki and add examples of them and how they're used.
Because I generally go back and depend on the Maurits.tv's archived wiki, but now that's busted and you can't even use it very well.
Seeing examples of how the functions and what-not all work would be a giant help! Maybe even add a public editing section where people can post their own snippets for stuff, which is then set to waiting for approval, and then yourself (Garry) or moderators of the website can view them and approve them or what-not, allowing us to contribute more.
If it hasn't been done: Bring back all those little lua pages for every syntax and statement. I run in to some problems using the old pages from the Maurit's archived version.
Also maybe some tutorials on it for things that aren't just Lua, like rigging and basic mapping. Why? Because being a game with such possibilities as this, the more the playerbase knows the better.
Maybe even someone making video tutorials for basic GMod things like "How to Get Started"
Also some page moderation, the old one was filled with repetitive, wrong, or useless pages.
Minteh gets what I mean...
[B]TL;DR[/B] - More help/tutorials for those who want to learn how to make addons.
It's a wiki - I don't get a team of people to fill it out. Anyone can fill it out.
i actually really like the wiki now, perhaps something like colour coordination for the sidebar to tell which realm things work on would make it easier to navigate though, either checkboxes at the top of search to filter client server shared or just something like this?

Do you find yourself looking at the function list only wanting to see client/server functions?
It would actually be nice if it was colored based on client/server/shared 'ness. Blue for server, Yellow for client, Green (blue + yellow?) for shared, red when unknown.
[QUOTE=garry;39874476]Do you find yourself looking at the function list only wanting to see client/server functions?[/QUOTE]
That's one of the reasons I love the old wiki's function list pages.
[QUOTE=garry;39865241]Mark it for deletion then?[/QUOTE]
How?
[editline]11th March 2013[/editline]
I can't find ANYTHING about it, is there supposed to be a template for it that we add to the page? Because I don't see one in the list. Is there a category it's supposed to be in? Because I don't see a) a category for it or b) a way to add a page to a category.
I don't use media much, is there anyway people that want definitions or better definitions for functions can report those functions? I don't mind writing definitions and examples, but I'm busy and don't have the time to go through all the functions.
If you want a function def post in here and I will fill it out as best I can
