BasileBoliSoup 9 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hello fellow bears Just putting a thread up to let everyone know how the RM project RangersPedia is getting on and to give you a bit of info about it.RangersPedia Main PageThat's the website encyclopedia been going for just over a year now and it is starting to take shape slowly but surely. A few of us have been spending a wee half hour here and there putting content in and making it easier for other fans to add stuff later on. The idea is to create an excellent source of info on The Rangers for fans worldwide to use, which is monitored by fans to stop it being ruined like the Wikipedia page. We now have in place templates that make inputting data on pages much easier. Here's a look at a few of the types of pages:Season page: http://www.rangerspedia.org/index.php/2010/11Match Report page: http://www.rangerspedia.org/index.php/Aberdeen_2-3_Rangers:_26th_September_2010Player page: http://www.rangerspedia.org/index.php/Greig,_JohnAlmost all of the 1300 player pages are done, but lots of them still need biographies and more pics added. Alongside these the plan is to have pages for everything to do with Rangers including songs, supporters groups, items from the Trophy Room, youth players, websites, memorabillia and much more.If anyone has any ideas about other stuff to include or would like to help then please post in here or RangersPedia section of the forum. http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showforum=87 Also if you are on Facebook please like the page http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/RangersPedia?ref=ts and invite all the bears on your friends list to spread the word.Thanks to all that have already contributed and I hope that some of you would like to use your knowledge and time to make it even better. Don't worry if you haven't done any Wiki editing before as the templates make it easy and all the guys in the RangersPedia section will be more than willing to help at anytime.

BasileBoliSoup 9 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Want to have pages on everything and the old disabled blue motors was something I'd heard about.
