Contents - search through a chapter-style listing
The (Table of) Contents is arranged similarly to that of a book. It is not designed to facilitate precise searches for specific terms. Rather, this rough classification of informational topics (e.g. trade, ships, colonies) provides a broad overview of the wiki, and a great starting point from which users can read further into their areas of interest.
The Contents listing can be accessed either in the navigation menu at the left edge of your screen or in the navigation bar found at the top of each page.
From A to Z - search through a keyword list
The keyword Index contains direct links to pages for buildings, ships, and other STNE components. It is alphabetically arranged - unlike the listing of contents.
This resource can be accessed in the navigation menu at the left edge of your screen (listed as "From A to Z"), or in the navigation bar found at the top of each page (listed as "Index").
Categories - search through a list of topics
All articles in the STNE Wiki are thematically classified according to topic. This becomes apparent through the use of named categories which one can find at the foot of any page. These categories also provide specific information about the articles they include - e.g. Category:Planet Classes, Category:Terraforming, Category:Warships, etc.
One can also find an alphabetically listed overview of all categories here: Special:Categories. This page can also be accessed in the toolbox menu at the left edge of your screen (listed as "Special pages"), which will lead to Categories in its Lists of Pages section.
Special pages - search with help from special wiki functions
Anyone searching for unusual or unique information in the STNE-Wiki should look at its special pages more closely. These pages provide a wide diversity of information - from blocked IP addresses and usernames, to lists of new and recently-edited articles, to various types of page overviews, and much more.
These pages can be accessed through the toolbox menu at the left edge of your screen (listed as "Special pages").
Search - use the wiki search function
Users can also utilize the input box (located at the left edge of the screen with the two buttons labeled "Go" and "Search" beneath it) to search through the entire STNE-Wiki for a specific word or phrase. Simply enter a desired word or phrase, and click either input button; the search function will provide a list of page titles and page text selections which most closely match the search term used. The same search function is also accessible through the Search page.
Hints for using the Search box
A few hints to the use of the Search box in the STNE-Wiki:
- At least one search word must be present. All pages which contain at least one of the search words will be listed - exactly as it was entered. If no results are returned, the user should determine if the search terms were correctly written. Portions of words are not included in the results, e.g. a search for "role" will not provide hits on articles which contain only the word "roleplay".
- Avoid short and common words. A missed search might occur if the search term contains so-called stop words (e.g. "the", "a", "more", "over", "when"). The search should be repeated without including these stop words.
- The search function does not differentiate between upper and lower case letters. For the search term "duranium", both "Duranium" and "DURANIUM" would be also be included in the results.
Hinweise, wie die Suche präzisiert werden kann
- Nur der Hauptnamensraum wird standardmäßig durchsucht. Seiten, deren Titel „Spieler:“, „Allianz:“, „Volk:“, „Diskussion:“ usw. enthalten, werden standardmäßig nicht in die Suche miteinbezogen. Über die erweiterte Suche, die sich unten auf der Seite mit den Suchergebnissen befindet, können aber auch andere Namensräume (Spieler, Allianz, Bild etc. und zugehörige Diskussionsseiten) durchsucht werden.
- Boolesche Suche ist möglich (Suche mit logischer Verknüpfung der Suchworte). Mit Hilfe der Wörter „AND“ (und), „OR“ (oder) und „NOT“ (nicht) sowie durch Klammerung können komplexere Suchanfragen gestellt werden. Falls nichts angegeben wird, ist „OR“ die Standardeinstellung. So liefert beispielsweise eine Suche nach „Duranium NOT fabrik“ alle Seiten, die das Wort „Duranium“, aber nicht das Wort „fabrik“ enthalten. Die Suche nach „Duranium AND (fabrik OR anlage)“ zeigt alle Artikel, die nicht nur „Duranium“, sondern auch „fabrik“ oder „anlage“ enthalten.
- Reguläre Ausdrücke können nicht verwendet werden.
- Wildcards (Platzhalter für beliebige Zeichen) können verwendet werden. So liefert die Suche nach „Duranium*“ alle Seiten, die Worte beginnend mit „Duranium“ enthalten, also z. B. Duraniumfabrik.
Mit Google das STNE-Wiki durchsuchen
Wegen der starken Belastung des Servers kann zeitweise die Wiki-interne Suche deaktiviert werden. Stattdessen gibt es dann die Möglichkeit, über externe Suchmaschinen wie Google in den Wiki-Seiten zu suchen. Der Los-Knopf funktioniert hingegen immer. Die Suche mit externen Suchmaschinen hat den Vorteil, dass diese alle Namensräume durchsuchen und Stoppwörter ignorieren. Es kann allerdings passieren, dass die Ergebnisse nicht dem aktuellen Stand entsprechen.Zur Suche im STNE-Wiki mit Google clicke hier:
