From Pfhorpedia, the Marathon Wikia, working on 181 articles

[edit] Greetings!

I'm PanSola, a workerbee on Wikia Gaming stuff. I want to cheer you on for having started a new gaming wiki, and see if there is anything I can help a fellow Wikian with. I have been an admin on the GuildWiki for quite a while, and have hung around a number of different wikis. So if you need help with any thing, don't hesitate to ask!

Some stuff of note:

• Logo - For the quartz skins (default skin that most people sees) you can upload a 266 x 75 pixels image to Image:Wiki_wide.png. This will fill in the blank area at the top, to the left of the four links, with your image. Remember, new users and people who are not logged in will by default seee the quartz smoke skin instead of the monobook skin.
• Another user called Kirkburn also has some valuable tips for newly starting wikis. You can check them out here.
• For the IRC channel #wikia-gaming, I'm organizing weekly chats at a fixed time so we can get the most number of people online at the same time to ask/answer questions, or just to hang out. The first one is going to take place this coming Sunday, October 14th. The time will be:

California	New York	London
1pm	4pm	9pm

I'm hoping to have discussions on issues such as how the various gaming wiki communities may help each other out, such as exchanging experiences for community development, content organization, and attracting users. Hopefully I'll be able to get the admins and founders of some of the biggest gaming wikis (such as the WoWWiki) to come and offer their experience.

If you happen to be technologically-adventurous, I can also help you with handy tools that can enrich the formatting and organization of the wiki such as templates, parser functions, and various MediaWiki extensions.

Again, if you have any question for anything at all, don't hesitate to ask me! -PanSola 10:02, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

See w:Gaming. You might want to edit the blurb though. d-: -PanSola 07:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GFDL

I haven't read the GFDL, but doesn't it say something about all articles have to have some link pointing to a record of who contributed to them? In which case, isn't Pfhorpedia:About currently in violation, since there's no mention of its being copied from Halopedia:About? --Andrew Nagy 04:52, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
