Typical Hex TopologyEdit

Dunnoob The typically for the hex ones was actually aiming at "brick stye" hex, which uses rectangles rather than hexagons. Agreed on isometric, though, as using anything but a lozenge looks bad. I've vaguely had an idea of making one, but there are many other things with higher priority.

To get a ping-effect (=notification of a wikilinked user:GriffonSpade) you can try {{ping|GriffonSpade}} rendered as @GriffonSpade: (incl. colon).

AFAIK both hex. topologies are based on isometric, isohex is an odd name for iso + two horizontal hex. sides, and hex is an odd name for iso + two vertical hex. sides. Is your brick a rectangle? If you remove the NW+SE corners from a rectangle, it would not match Freeciv isohex or hex., and I think it doesn't matter which two corners you remove from a rectangle, because Freeciv removes opposite corners from a rhombus (diamond). –Dunnoob 💩 12:44, March 3, 2018 (UTC)

Appear first in category?Edit

How does one cause a page to appear before the letters in the category?

You can dictate a category sort order by name as in [[category:Jane Doe|Doe, Jane]] (sorted below Doe instead of Jane), and for an intro page use ASCII SP (space) sorted before all letters, digits, etc.: [[category:Jane Doe| ]], cf. Help:Category#Sort_parameters. –Dunnoob 💩 12:52, March 3, 2018 (UTC)
