== Looks good ==
==Deep Notes==


Seems to work well. it flows, and concise info.
Deeps notes would be an section with advanced information about implementations, specifications, and highly technical details; not to mention tracking the history of the function and the state of specific bugs.

== Helper Functions ==
I added a "Helper Function" section, these are a bit like examples, but are complete functions that encapsulate or use the function in question.
If they had pages to themselves they would be linked through "See Also"[[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 10:50, 25 January 2007 (PST)
 
== Short Description ==
I didn't see much point to the short description. That sort of thing really belongs in the specification section.
 
== Templates? ==
I see that MediaWiki supports some kind of templating system. Is there a way we can use it to define a template for this page type and parameterize the content to it? Would make it easy later to change the template instead of changing hundreds of function pages. Probably can use this for all of the page types which will specify a standardized format for more than a handful of pages.

:I have made up a test template for functions, hence: [[Template:LSL_Function]] [[User:Talarus Luan|Talarus Luan]] 12:44, 25 January 2007 (PST)
 
Creating it as a template is a good idea.  And parts can be sub-templated out.

:Please feel free to attack it; you've got a lot more experience than me, as I'm rather new at this MediaWiki stuff. :P [[User:Talarus Luan|Talarus Luan]] 14:17, 25 January 2007 (PST)
 
The template is looking really good. What about moving the "See also" section down below the "Notes" section? [[User:Talarus Luan|Talarus Luan]] 19:05, 25 January 2007 (PST)
 
Oh I should have said earlier, I've made a template, and I've just finished making stub pages for ever single function. Your template  seems to be based on an earlier version of mine (while i was playing with the first pages it was under heave development)[[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 23:46, 25 January 2007 (PST)

Old Talk

Talk:LSL Function Style/Original Design Discussions -- All the conversations we had when things were first being made. Much of it not applicable since the style morphed to include some of the presented concerns.

Style

There has been some discussion on Jira about the style and the writing and it's been suggested that the style could use some tweaking. Since it's been over a year I thought it would be a great idea if we took the time to discuss the shortfalls and successes of the style along with any new ideas. What ever is decided I'll endeavor to implement be that a small rework or an entire refit. -- Strife Onizuka 07:08, 17 May 2008 (PDT)

Deep Notes

Deeps notes would be an section with advanced information about implementations, specifications, and highly technical details; not to mention tracking the history of the function and the state of specific bugs.
