The main link to the Wiki in the Documents menu at the top of ldraw.org goes to Category:Articles, which redirects to User:Mikeheide/Bookmarks. I think it would be better if it linked to the Wiki's main page (or wiki.ldraw.org, which redirects to the main page).

Hello Orion,

the LDraw Wiki currently returns as "title" for the browser "LDraw.org".

It would be better if it would return "LDraw Wiki".

The reason I ask is that I dragged a URL of the Wiki into my browser bookmarks,
and it was stored there as "LDraw.org" instead of "LDraw Wiki", which I expected.

LDraw.org should be reserved for www.ldraw.org instead IMHO.

What do you think?

At least for me, the login form is broken (pushed off the bottom of the screen) in Firefox 59.0.2. I'm still able to log in, but it's definitely confusing.

Hello Orion,

could you please enable the string functions in the LDraw Wiki?
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension...rFunctions

That functionality is off by default, but it is needed to make the
https://wiki.ldraw.org/wiki/Template:Wikipedia
work.
(Inside it, the #replace function is being used.)

My question might be totally "n00b" but I have a .STEP file that I found and need to use it with LDraw software or with the Bricklink Stud.io in a 3D model that I built for my students.

How do you convert the .STEP file to another format that I could import? Or is there a series of steps to get to this process?

I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

on each parts tracker page, there is a footer saying

"The LDraw Parts Tracker is maintained and developed by voluntary members of the LDraw organisation."

However, by clicking on "the LDraw organisation", you get an error 404.

Suggestion: correct that link to let it point to

https://wiki.ldraw.org/wiki/LDraw.org

in the LDRAW wiki, the image "Construction worker.png" appears broken when accessing the page

https://wiki.ldraw.org/index.php?title=BlueBrick

via https. When using http, the image looks fine:

http://wiki.ldraw.org/index.php?title=BlueBrick

To cure this, I suggest that we end the dual presence of both http and https this way:
* make https the default
* make any access to a http address a forwarding to its https counterpart

The LDRAW Wiki URLs are somewhat ugly, here is an example:

http://wiki.ldraw.org/index.php?title=BFC

Much nicer would be the syntax

http://wiki.ldraw.org/wiki/BFC

Wikipedia does it the same way, see for example

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDraw

This can be achieved by some simple adjustments on the MediaWiki server, see here the official documentation:

Can we get this "beautification" for our LDRAW Wiki?

Hi,

I've set off to model this part: 54389. The complete assembly contains two orange pieces (54359 and 54360), a preinstalled 3V CR927 lithium battery, a LED bulb and a tiny, malleable bed for the LED.

I'm curious about:

• is the assembly really 54389?
  
• what other numbers, if any, are involved?
  
• should the battery be modeled since the assembly comes with one preinstalled? (edit: looks like we already have the AA battery as u9284.dat)
