Great first edit CaptainPlanet.

What'd he do?

[ahmufcwafc]

Alan, where did you go on msn?

I don't have a clue what you're talking about tbh.

[jod123]

What'd he do?

He inserted a 2nd section on the page about the patch.

[ahmufcwafc]

We'll keep it for now CP

[peter-evo]

I don't have a clue what you're talking about tbh.

Grrrrr

Jod: What he put was beautiful.

[ftg87]

Woohoo 1st edit

[peter-evo]

Woohoo 1st edit

Oh no, I am frightened to look.

Good idea do you all think?

[ahmufcwafc]

I don't think he edited anything. I couldn't find anything anyway.

[ftg87]

Oh no, I am frightened to look.

Good idea do you all think?

What you frightened of? I am a very sensible person and my edit was very well done

[jod123]

Oh no, I am frightened to look.

Good idea do you all think?

It is a good edit.

[peter-evo]

No, where was it, Im useless at this wiki stuff

[ahmufcwafc]

Never mind, I found it. It's in the Steam article.

[peter-evo]

Well done Dean, good stuff... good to see more users taking part.

[ftg87]

Well done Dean, good stuff... good to see more users taking part.

Thank you Peter, I try my best

I will be adding bits here and there over the next few days, after that I will be able to do more. I am a bit busy at the mo doing real work

[peter-evo]

Cool, this could be succesful at this rate

[ftg87]

Cool, this could be succesful at this rate

If we work hard enough, then eventually SI won't bother with a manual, they will just put a bit of paper into every box with the URL of the Wiki written on it

[peter-evo]

Should be added to the links thread imo

[ftg87]

PM Neji, he will sort it out

[rancer890]

Ok, you can see more updates to the MLS page, like a few more pictures to make it colourful and all.

[jod123]

Very nice. You put in a lot of effort into that.

[rancer890]

Very nice. You put in a lot of effort into that.

The minor problem is that it's not even done! I'm waiting for the 9.0.3 patch and db to make a bit more changes.

I'm even very tempted to a bit of advertising on that page. (aka a challenge)

[ahmufcwafc]

I've added articles on Sports Interactive & Football Manager 2009. Feel free to add to them.

[pnefc22]

I will write some more articles todasy and then, post them up tonight.

[pnefc22]

Any ideas for articles would be helpful.

I will do one on:

Attributes
Wonderkids(Already Done)
CA(Already Done)
PA(Already Done)
Third-Party Programs
CM01/02 - Brief History etc.
Preston North End Team Guide
Shakhtar Team Guide
Redditch Team Guide

Could someone tell me the criteria for a wonderkid?

I think I know what it is but I would like it verified.

More suggestions would be welcome.

[hamilton162]

Can someone give me the URL for the website as i am about to start doing a L2 guide. Aslo, is anyone willing to help me do this.

Cheers in advance

Football Manager wiki

I can't help you hamilton, I don't have a clue when it comes to League 2.

[hamilton162]

Don't worry, i can do it by myself, but it will just take time. Anyone else willing/able to help and please state what you can help me with.

Cheers for the URL though ahmufcwafc

[hamilton162]

How do you link articles to the front page? I've just done one on how to solve .xml passing errors when the game launches.

[ahmufcwafc]

Edit this page > In the editor thing that pops up, click the insert link icon > select you article in 'page name'. It should pop up on the screen. Now you just have to put it in it's appropriate area.

I don't see your xml article anywhere.

[hamilton162]

Cheers ahmufcwafc

[ahmufcwafc]

No problem. I can't see it anywhere, have you put it up yet?

[hamilton162]

Yeah, just put it up now

[ahmufcwafc]

Do you mind if I add a little to your xml parsing error article? Copying & pasting what you said won't work for non-Steam users. Thanks again

[hamilton162]

No problem ahmufcwafc, feel free to add useful info to it. The site is supposed to give the best instructions around

[ahmufcwafc]

Yeah, I actually had a lot less to add than I thought. It was only one line

[hamilton162]

Hahaha, oh well, any extra info is great. I will see if i can spot the edit

[hamilton162]

If you didn't use Steam: "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" --reset_preferences
That's what you added isn't it?

[ahmufcwafc]

If you didn't use Steam: "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" --reset_preferences
That's what you added isn't it?

Yeah, that's the one.

[moj]

Looks like a great idea.

[hamilton162]

Can you help me out with any League 2 info moj? Help is needed URGENTLY!! Tell me which clubs you can help with

Cheers in advance to everyone who helps

[SCIAG]

Could someone tell me the criteria for a wonderkid?

I think I know what it is but I would like it verified.

PA is equal to or more than 170
Age is less than 21
Reputation is continental or greater.

Oh, and Alan, I'm the one doing all the FREDs stuff on the regen page. Newgens are old news!

[ahmufcwafc]

I see, not all up-to-date on this regen stuff me!
Go on & change it.

[SCIAG]

I have.

I can't actually find anywhere that says "the correct term is now FREDs"- there was one in the old GPTG FAQs, but it's gone

[ahmufcwafc]

Little bit off-topic, but what is the difference between newgens & FRED's?

[hamilton162]

A FRED is a player that is generated randomly by the game at the start of every season. A newgen is a player that was created by the game to replace an old player who had retired in the older versions of the game. Hope that helps ahmufcwafc

I see. Cheers hamilton

[hamilton162]

No problem ahmufcwafc. What does your name stand for anyway. I got the Witton Albion bit, but what is the rest?

[ahmufcwafc]

The Witton Albion thing is a joke

ahmufcwafc - My initials are AH, & the initials of the two clubs I support (Man Utd & Wigan). You can just call me Alan if you like since my username is long & confusing

[peter-evo]

Good to see it is all growing and thank you all for putting things in the Wiki

[hamilton162]

Cheers Alan. Nice Witton Albion joke. How do you change your location, i can't seem to be able to do it?

[arsenal_2111]

Just been reading through the following;
http://football-manager-series.wikis...Buying+Players

Near the bottom is;

Arrange Friendly

You must arrange a friendly with the club you are buying from.

That isn't right, is it? I thought that if you are buying the player and include a friendly in the deal, you have no responsility over organising this friendly - it is up to them to organise it, it's just that you have to accept it.

Correct me if I'm wrong

[arsenal_2111]

Regarding team guides, there are quite a few team guides in the GPTG. If you like, I can get in contact with as many of the posters of them as I can, and ask for permission to use their guides for this. Could save quite a lot of time making something that is already made

Please do, I am sure it will help massively.

[arsenal_2111]

Ok then, I'll ask HoPeY or purefun permission to make a thread there asking for permission, as it would be quicker than PM'ing them. If they say no, I will PM the posters.

[peter-evo]

Thanks mate, appreciated.

[arsenal_2111]

K, I've PM'ed HoPeY asking for permission, hoping he says yes but I would understand if he doesn't want a thread about it.

Will let you know what he says.

[MeLikeFM]

hey jod me and you can team up and make a few irish articles

[peter-evo]

K, I've PM'ed HoPeY asking for permission, hoping he says yes but I would understand if he doesn't want a thread about it.

You're right. It is the selling team's responsibility to arrange a friendly before the deadline.

[Elrithral]

You're right. It is the selling team's responsibility to arrange a friendly before the deadline.

You have to accept it, but you can cancel it.

[hamilton162]

Yeah, can you find a few League 2 Articles. I can do Wycombe Wanderers as i support them fanatically, but help with the others would be much appreciated.

[arsenal_2111]

HoPeY has given me permission to make a thread there, asking for permission. Am going to make it now, and hopefully there should be a lot of people who are alright with it.

Ah, that'd be me.

I did mean to say " play" but I was a bit tired.

What a nice bloke this hopey is.

[arsenal_2111]

What a nice bloke this hopey is.

One good deed doesn't make up for letting them get away with constant abuse of me

I don't know if anything from the GPTG FAQ could be used, theres a couple of things in there that could be useful in this I think;
GPTG FAQ

[weeeman27bob]

Work Permits, CA/PA, Affiliated clubs, key attributes for players, and possibly accronyms

would all be perfect in my opinion.

[weeeman27bob]

I've added a "Premiership Club" section under the "leagues" heading so we can put all the prem club threads there.

[arsenal_2111]

Dumbass question here, how do I add a page to a certain section?

[ahmufcwafc]

Dumbass question here, how do I add a page to a certain section?

You just move it manually. Or am I missing something here?

[jod123]

Thanks mate

MeLikeFM: Jod123 works alone, do not interrupt the master.

I can work in a team as well.

Dumbass question here, how do I add a page to a certain section?

Just edit the home page and insert a link to the page you want.

[hamilton162]

jod, you like my location?

[peter-evo]

Hamilton robbed my location... grr

[hamilton162]

Technically, it isn't the same though Peter

[peter-evo]

I win I win

[hamilton162]

No, I WIN, I WIN

[ahmufcwafc]

Be careful lads, the last thing we want is for this thread to be closed.

[peter-evo]

My location owns yours all day, every day

Wiki is doing great, would even link it at the top of GD, all the links there are out of date.

[hamilton162]

Changed it peter Better than yours now I win, i win

[jod123]

jod, you like my location?

Yeah, but where have you done it?

[hamilton162]

I beat you jod, how does it feel to lose

[arsenal_2111]

Here is the Arsenal one, is it alright?;

http://football-manager-series.wikispaces.com/Arsenal

[ftg87]

Could you guys get back to the topic in hand please? Like Alan says that last thing we want is that this thread gets closed because of off topic rubbish

[jod123]

I beat you jod, how does it feel to lose

I am not too sure how it feels especially when I am unaware of how and where you beat me.

Unless you mean you have managed to help a person when I was busy doing an exam.

EDIT: Anyway as ftg said above, let's forget about it in this thread. Glad you beat me.

[ahmufcwafc]

Here is the Arsenal one, is it alright?;

http://football-manager-series.wikispaces.com/Arsenal

Excellent, post it up

[hamilton162]

Fair enough ftg, just having a bit of friendly banter

[ftg87]

Fair enough ftg, just having a bit of friendly banter

That's cool mate, but I have seen threads as useful as this closed for things like "friendly banter" Several times between myself and jod

[arsenal_2111]

I've put it up, can someone check it for me to see if it works please?

[ahmufcwafc]

I've put it up, can someone check it for me to see if it works please?

Yeah it's working fine. I put it up on the links section for you.

[ftg87]

I've put it up, can someone check it for me to see if it works please?

All looking good mate

[jod123]

I've put it up, can someone check it for me to see if it works please?

It does but do we want to put it in the Premier League link instead of the main page as that is where Liverpool is?

I am not saying that it should not go on the main page as well but shouldn't we do the same for Liverpool as well to keep consistency?

[hamilton162]

Yeah, it works all right arsenal 2111

[DanGLiverpool]

Added some info into the screenshots thread, hope it is helpful.

Agreed, it doesn't really need it's own link on the main page when there is a EPL Clubs link right above it

[ahmufcwafc]

Added some info into the screenshots thread, hope it is helpful.

Cheers Dan, it needed a bit more detail anyway

[weeeman27bob]

Yeah, I made the EPL club things for the club threads.

[hamilton162]

Yep, put it in the Premiership section as the site needs to be organised properly so people can access it

[ahmufcwafc]

Agreed, it doesn't really need it's own link on the main page when there is a EPL Clubs link right above it

Yes, that's my bad. I'll fix it now.

[DanGLiverpool]

Cheers Dan, it needed a bit more detail anyway

You're welcome. I felt people need to learn about the Alt F9 trick.

[arsenal_2111]

I am not saying that it should not go on the main page as well but shouldn't we do the same for Liverpool as well to keep consistency?

Erm, that's where I put it didn't I?

I thought I put it in the Premier League one? It was above the Liverpool one...
