Uh, any chance of getting an English thing? This place also needs work.

What do you mean by " an English thing", and yeah, this place needs help. Cloudofdarkness 17:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

i've been adding articles/contributing, but someone needs to sort out the template problems

Semajdraehs 19:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

can someone sort out the Featured page template because its kind of annoying not having it (not sure how to do it myself)

catergory:regions and cities and catergory:Locations

I'm suggesting we get rid of one as there both practically the same. any thoughts?

They are the same thing, at least as far as I can see.--Otherarrow 17:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Featured Article

Since the Featured Article will stay up until manually edited and we don't know how to make one randomly generate from a set few, I say we just have a Featured Article of the month so that we don't have to change it too often, but we also see a different one every once in a while. Ultimateria:Talk 01:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Have any idea how to do that? I know little to nothing about coding. Also, I think it's time we started a page to sugest and vote for the next one. I nominate Micaiah or Sigurd.--Otherarrow 02:02, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Okay, so... I set up a nominating/voting page here. Obviously, you put your nomination in the Nominations section along with its current amount of votes, then make a ,==Votes for Article Name== section. Votes are tallied at the end of the month! Ultimateria:Talk 03:14, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Main page layout update

Hullo! I am Kirkburn, your friendly local Wikia Gaming Helper!

Hopefully you have read about the skin and ad changes at Wikia's New Style on Central Wikia. If not, I hope you'll have a look.

One of the changes is a block of two ads on each main page. It's possible that they won't always show up, but to ensure your main page continues to work properly when they do, you need to update your main page column formatting code with new column tags.

I have drafted a main page using the new tags on User:Kirkburn/Dev which I hope you can take a look at - feel free to make a copy and edit it. Though the layout may seem restrictive at first, there really is a fair amount you can do with them - for example see these customized main pages - Muppet Wiki, WoWWiki, FFXIclopedia. You may want to chat with your wiki community about what direction to take with a new main page.

If you encounter any problems with the new tags, please let us know.

My apologies for any inconvenience these changes bring.
Thank you for your time, Kirkburn (talk) 17:53, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Morning! Anyone got feedback on the proposal? I would like to be able to switch by the end of the week. Kirkburn (talk) 17:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I've made a few more tweaks and put it live. Enjoy! Kirkburn (talk) 22:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

There was a proposel? These ad things, do they show up in Monobook? Can I make Monobook the default skin? Stupid questions aside, the main page looks really weird now. I would try to fix it, but my coding knowledge is lacking.--Otherarrow 00:58, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I just fixed a minor issue - what looked weird? You can choose monobook as a personal choice, but not as a default for anon user. Kirkburn (talk) 11:36, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Eh. It just took some getting used too. Sorry for troubling you.--Otherarrow 11:40, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

My few cents on the matter

Yeah. Me again. Whoop-de-doo. :P Anyway, there are a few things I've been wondering concerning this wiki and its operations.

• I'm curious to know, in regards to Shadow Dragon namings, why go with Euro ones? After all, it's a bit inconsistent, given that with information concerning pretty much every other Fire Emblem game here, US names (e.g. Renault, Sentinel, Astra) take precedence.
• Now, there's a concern regarding most pages on this wiki that's been bugging me for quite a while, this concerning page layouts. If one were to take a look at a small crosssection of several, say, character pages on this wiki, one will note that they vary drastically in informational layout, the layouts of some pages being better than others. ^{Not only that, but the content itself varies drastically, with many character pages featuring naught but strategy details; my view on that situation is that this site could work well with a fair deal of focus on story elements, since sites detailing strategies are a dime a dozen.} I believe that it would be ideal to perhaps draft a set of doctrinal page guidelines for pages of varying kinds to conform to where possible, with Gerik being an excellent example of a character page.

Now you can rip these ideas apart as you wish. :P --Turaga Dlakii ^Talk! 03:39, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
