Introduction

Hi,

I work in a company where thousands of people use this wikis software (Confluence) to work together and share findings etc. With this page and its subpages I want to show how a community built database, based on confluence, could work (in my optinion). I am no expert but have used confluence for about a year now.

Greetings from a die hard fan,

Stefan H.

How it (could) work

• Each Object in the game would get its own page. BUT on each page would be a table called "Page Properties" (this is a confluence macro) - see my example
• These tables contain attributes describing this object (name, object type, velocity, shields etc, location to buy, race). 
• And there is a macro called "Page Properties Report"  which can then display all the objects in a table like at the bottom of this page, giving an overview which can be sorted as desired.
  • This macro can also be set to just display specific attributes. So there could be a table showing all ships and their defense stats. Or a table showing ships and their offensive or trade stats.
• Whats really nice about the makro is that each entry in the table contains a link to the objects page (ship,station, or other object like a craftable engine etc.) - and on that page could be various information about this object - like how to best board it, where to buy etc.
