For those not following the recent changes on the FlightGear wiki, or the discussions at the village pump, you may not have seen that I have been reworking the aircraft infobox that is used in almost 500 wiki articles. I have created a test template at: {{User:Bugman/Infobox Aircraft}}. The list of changes is extensive! One of the main features is the support for categorising the aircraft by hangar. This adds a hangar specific logo or text to the very top of the infobox (between the aircraft name and first screenshot), automatically creates development repository and download links, and automatic category creation for subcategories of Category:Aircraft_by_hangar. For example the FGAddon logo is:
As an aside, another feature is better language support as can be seen on the de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter wiki article, which is being used as a test for the new template (as well as the Boeing 707-420 wiki article). While still in the testing stages, I would like to expand the support for the FlightGear community's venerable 3rd party hangars. Well, at least those that have created wiki articles for their aircraft. In the testing template, I currently have added rudimentary support for the following 3rd party hangars:
- | hangar = fguk
| hangar = helijah
| hangar = lake of constance
| hangar = paf
I would like to ask for help from those involved in the 3rd party hangars to expand this list (but only for those aircraft on the wiki). These currently do not use a logo, but rather the name of the hangar as a link to the hangar's website. So I would like to ask for suitable logos to replace the text (the link will remain). Ideally this would be CC BY-SA 4.0 licensed, as that is the standard for the wiki. The logo will be resized to a fixed width of 300 px, so it should look good at this small size. This excludes a lot of text, for example:
The height should also be limited so that the logo is a proper banner. The logos should be approved by the organisation and people behind the 3rd party hangar.
Cheers,
Edward
