Signing your entries in talk pages
I'm not sure where the best place to put this is, but I want to remind everybody to sign their entries in talk pages, two dashes followed by 4 tildes '--~~~~' or just click the button that is second from the right on the top of the edit box. --Mel 10:15, 12 Jan 2006 (EST)
- Also, when you're replying to something on a talk page, feel free to use this fancy feature (watch start of line)
- It works really well! just add one colon (:) at the start of the lines more than the previous reply had! --Llanor 17:30, 5 February 2007 (CST)
Creating new pages
(Sorry if you don't like that I deleted all the discussion from before on this subject, but you were talking nonsense.) In the Search box, type the exact title you wish to use for your wiki page and press 'Go'. If this page doesn't exist yet, the option 'Create This Page' will be clearly visible after you've pressed 'Go'. Click that. Wow, it's that simple. --Llanor 17:17, 5 February 2007 (CST)
Contact Information
It may be helpful to provide some means of contacting those folks in charge of this site.
- If you really want to contact a user of this wiki, just edit their talk page.
Some custom insertion buttons
See all those edit buttons above the edit box? It would be nice if some of those pertained to the Avatar Wiki. For example, it's monotonous to code a bunch of mob/object/area emplates for however many pages you have to do, so some buttons could add those templates, appropriately hyperlinked, into the editbox for us to use. Giving us one-click access to template code would also help standardize the page layouts. If you're interested, the appropriate code lies in EditPage.php (all the way at the bottom). --Neyne 20:59, 1 March 2006 (EST)
We can change what links appear in that navigation panel on the left side of the screen. Suggestions? I don't want to make it too cluttered, so just a few choice links that would be more useful than "donations" or "random page" Waite 10:59, 11 May 2007 (CDT)
Category label in pages
i've noticed some items have "Category:" in front of their name and others of similar status or type do not. for example, classes ("Category:Psionicists") have it while most races do not. looking at my "view and edit watchlist" page i noticed because it puts Firedrakes in the "Main" list, whereas pages like Imps, Psionicists, and Transfigured Forest show up under the "Category" list.
just wondering what the details are; is there an in-progress movement to move towards or away from using "Category:" with the names? or some such... --3nki 19:12, 3 August 2011 (CDT)
A long while ago, someone went a bit nutty with categories and now it would take so much work to untangle it that it probably isn't worth the effort. Your best bet to make it easier to search is to create redirect pages that point to the appropriate category. Look at the area pages to see the syntax. (I did all those before, including Transforest as you noticed, and I have no burning desire ever to do it again. *shudder carpaltunnel*)
But to answer your question, I would love to move away from using categories for things like areas and classes, but not particularly in favor of refactoring the existing pages. --Neyne 21:42, 3 August 2011 (CDT)
speaking of categories... it would be nice if there was a page to see all mobs that stomp. the current page Stomps doesn't list the actual mobs just describes the trait. as do similar Mob Types pages like Sniping Mobs or something. and i tried but it won't let me flag a mob that is a stomper with that category (like the Death Knight General). i'm trying to get it to show up there like Mobs In Necromancer's Tower does at the bottom of his page. then eventually we could use that tag for other stomper mob pages and build up a list. would be nice if all the Mob Types showed which mobs were flaged for each actually, but i guess that would be a pain to do ;) --3nki 23:44, 3 August 2011 (CDT)
