How do I go about producing tabs on a page? Trying to clean up the Tt eSports Challenge and make a page for the second event, but I can't seem to figure it out from other pages I've looked at :/.

Use this: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Template:TabsHeader or create your own tabs template.
Example of how it is used on a page:
{{TabsHeader
|name1=Overview
|link1=mousesports
|name2=Team Results
|link2=mousesports/Results
|This=1}}

Replace the number on |This= with the tab number of the page this template is used with. That template also needs to be on your other pages if you want it to show up.

So, in the Simple Questions Simple Answers thread someone asked for a build order for the 111 all in build that's popular at the moment and I noticed that it wasn't actually on Liquipedia so I created it, but I have some questions.

(The page in question: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/1Rax_1Fact_1Port_(All-In) )

First, I've made it as it's own page since it's a deviation from the standard 1/1/1 build and can be so in depth it seemed right to give it it's own page. Was that the correct decision?

Second, what are some good ways to find references? I spent quite a while googling and searching TL, but found it difficult to find satisfactory references.

Finally, that's my first strategy article so I probably made a million errors, would anyone be able to tell me things I could do better next time? I figured I could at least get the basic information online but I don't want to leave work for other people whenever I add things.

Also, as a piece of feedback the strategy template uses the wrong "your".

You've actually made a variation and it should be an alternate build listed on (Wiki)

1Rax 1Fact 1Port.

Liquipedia needs a mapmaking section, I think this could attract many more people to using liquipedia in general, and I see a large demand for this section. Mapmakers, correct me if I'm wrong, like to show people stuff they make, and likewise would enjoy showing people how they make stuff. The map editor of starcraft 2 is pretty complex, and I think liquipedia should describe what all of the map making tools are and how they work, as well as explaining how to do more complicated things - after all, the starcraft 2 map editor is starcraft 2.

Edit:
Why does liquipedia needs a comprehensive starcraft 2 map editor section? I know what all the units in starcraft 2 do - I can't tell you what any of the features in the map editor do.

We need mapmakers to add in how Galaxy works. I've got no idea :|

We don't have any section dedicated to the map editor in liquipedia now, correct? I dunno, I just think that liquipedia should have a pretty detailed explanation of how to use everything in map editor, that's information that would be really useful. Everyone opens map editor at some point, most people give up when they can't figure out how to use all the complicated shit.

The only page I can find is (Wiki)

Galaxy Map Editor. While it is not a bad page it does not explain how to actually use the map editor.

Liquipedia is a great place for many people to collaborate and create articles and guides together. We can help you with formatting and wiki usage but actually writing the guides is something we don't have the knowledge to do.

The problem is that everyone who knows how to use Galaxy is busy using Galaxy and not being awesome and updating Liquipedia.

That is a bad argument, if teamliquid created a section for mapmaking and included basic information about the map editor, I'm pretty sure if a big thread calling mapmakers to help establish the liquipedia mapmaking section, a lot could get done quickly. Mapmakers might want to make maps, but I doubt everyone using the map editor knows how to use every single part of it, and I could see them looking to figure out parts they don't understand.

I just think its silly that mapmaking in starcraft 2 is the area that people need the MOST information in, and the one that there is basically zero information at all about in liquipedia.

The simple fact is that
1. Nobody on LP staff (afaik) knows enough about Galaxy to start adding comprehensive information about it to LP
2. People who do know enough about Galaxy aren't adding anything

call the masses

anyways I think you guys should make it a goal of liquipedia, I don't expect liquipedia staff to know how to do it, but there are other ways, recruiting some map makers, they are easy to find, and maybe give them liquipedia map editor icons or something. Is there even a section on galaxy on liquipedia?

There's an article which Noam linked earlier but that's it.

Quick question: I see that for units (i.e. zerglings and corruptors) that can morph, the gas and mineral costs are listed, but the supply cost isn't. Was this a decision that was made or could I add this in? It's useful for quick reference, just wasn't sure if this has been discussed.

I remember we had a discussion a while back about how to deal with this. AFAIK we decided that supply is not a cost of the transformation and so it's not listed.
