From CruisersWiki

Welcome to CruisersWiki!

We all look forward to your valued contributions to the Cruising Wiki to help it grow as a useful, free resource for all cruisers around the world. Now you are registered, you can set your personal preferences in "My Preferences" (link at top R/H of page when logged in).

Spend a little time reading the Wiki Help and the Style Guide to gain a better understanding of the Wiki formatting and how to edit articles. Also, please read the Cruiserswiki Copyrights notice, as well as the General Disclaimers (links at bottom of pages) before starting to edit. Then, do add what you can - even correcting grammar and spelling errors in articles is a great help - but do not use the Rich Editor to do so, since there is a problem with it at present. It is easy to see if you are going wrong, since you cannot save your changes to a page without previewing them first.

Use any page's "Discussion" tab (top of page's menu) to ask any questions or make any suggestions about that particular page.

Finally, please note that massive changes by a new editor are liable to be considered spam and the editor will be blocked. Please concentrate on editing pages of the places that you have actually visited. Also please avoid using the "Rich Editor", it does not work well and creates problems.

Again, welcome and have fun! Bring out that hidden "Cruising Guide writer" in you. Istioploos 11:40, 28 March 2015 (GMT)

Vadim, I'd prefer it if you didn't remove the heading (unless you're volunteering to make the same change on all the other port and marina pages, which will probably keep you busy for quite a few months!). Vasilis and I have spent a lot of time over the past two years trying to establish some consistency of style across the Wiki, since otherwise it begins to lack credibility. There's still a lot to be done on that score, as you will have noticed, but at least most of the Med pages are reasonably consistent. While there's certainly a lot that can be done to improve the layout and usability, it would be dangerous IMHO to do it piecemeal as we'd wind up with something akin to the proverbial dog's dinner.

Hi Gordon! I appreciate your efforts very much. I've just noticed that these two successive headings look somewhat repetitive (Olbia). It seems Vasilis wouldn't mind removing the 2nd repeating header would be done gradually.

As a matter of interest this CSS rule hides the the 2nd heading if it's a very 1st thing in an article:

#jump-to-nav + h2,
script + h2
{
    display: none;
}

Infobox marina & country

Vadim,

For some reason the "notes" in these templates do not work. However the "note" in Template:Infobox passage does work. I was unable to trace the cause of this. --Istioploos 16:22, 21 January 2016 (GMT)

Hi Vasilis! I seems to be fixed by now. As you spotted there was some inconsistency between "notes" and "note". It was "note" in Template:Infobox bottom hence Template:Infobox passage was OK. Now the both are using now "notes", like the others --Vadim 17:12, 21 January 2016 (GMT)

Yes I see that they are now working. Thanks. --Istioploos 20:14, 21 January 2016 (GMT)
