User talk:Alex1991

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:
 * Main Page design - It may be a good idea to make some of your main important content directly available and linked to from the Main Page. You can check out and borrow/modify a number of different layout designs from w:c:gamingstarter and various big wikis listed on the Gaming hub.
 * Your user page - Use the page to introduce yourself to other new visitors, so the wiki has a more personal feeling to it and luring visitors to stay and become involved.
 * 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 by default use 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.
 * There is a Wikia gaming IRC channel, #wikia-gaming, where you can hop on, ask for help from users of other gaming wikis, or offer your own experiences. You can access it from http://irc.wikia.com/gaming .  Different people may be on sporadically, but I'm hoping to organize 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.

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 22:56, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey, just to follow up on the IRC chat mentioned above, it's going to take place this coming Sunday, October 14th. The time will be:


 * 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. -PanSola 09:13, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer
Is there a way for you to become an admin on this wikia, and this wikia needs to be advitised how would i do this


 * Well my intention is to just offer advise, answer questions, and help with technical stuff. I don't need to be an admin of this wiki to do those things, and frankly I don't know much about the Star Wars Modding subject to contribute much myself.  As for how to advertise this wikia, you can try the various internet forums out there, especially the ones you are familiar with and where you have a good reputation, and let people know this wiki exists.  Since initially this wiki doesn't have much content yet, your initial focus should be to recruit other people interested in providing information via this wiki.  After the wiki does contain enough info to really be a resource, then advertise to the people who might be interested in reading the wiki for information.  These are just some starter tips.  You might also want to talk to the folks over at the Star Wars Games Wiki and see if some sort of collaboration and cross-linking partnering can be done.  If you can catch me on IRC when I happen to be around (sometimes I might be online but not there), we might be able to explore additional ways for this wiki to be advertised.
 * Anyways, speaking of IRC, there is another meeting this coming Sunday, one hour earlier than the times noted above. If you are interested in checking out what we talked about last week, you can look here.  Hope to see you at the meeting! -PanSola 09:21, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I just edited the Categories page a bit so now each of the bullet item directly links to the respective category, and the page itself is no longer lumped into those categories. Hopefully this should make navigation for users simpler. You can click on the edit tab of that article to see how I did it! -PanSola 17:12, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, Im an admin from the aboved mentioned SWGames Wiki and just wanted to say hi. We couldn't help but notice that you made this and I have to admit we were disapointed that you got to it first. We already had a whole spot set aside for a sub-wiki for mods. However this may work better being seprate. Come to our Gammers Council Meeting because i will bring up something about this site and if everyone agrees then, well just try to be there, if your not there I won't bring up the subject. Mabey bring you in as sister wiki or something, if everyone agrees, but you will have to some to the meeting. -Fell Skyhawk 02:43, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The meeting is in 5 min if you wanted to come.-Fell19:55, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

SWGames
Hello, I'm supergeeky1, bureaucrat to SWGames. As Fell Skyhawk stated above, one of our meetings occured last night. We discussed the possibility of becoming official friends with your wiki, and we all agreed that it would be a good idea. Of course, we understand completely if you do not wish for a friendship to occur between the two wikis. However, we would like to extend the offer to you. In case you are not familiar with official friendships, one wiki would provide a link to the other wiki on their main page, and in return, the other wiki would do the same. If you have any other questions, feel free to either contact me on my talk page here, or my SWGames talk page. Cheers! :D 21:55, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
