||
| − | Since Oct. 22, Puta20 has made nearly 5000 spam edits. He's hiding website links, messing up formatting, and clogging the history for individual pages and the wiki as a whole. I understand that vandalism will always be a problem, and there will always be corrections to be made, but that's assuming that prompt administrative action will be taken against the offenders. It's futile to try and maintain the integrity of WoWWiki's articles when competing against a bot. I think this wiki could definitely benefit from a couple more admins.--[[User:Aeleas|Aeleas]] 16:14, 4 Nov 2005 (EST) |

| + | ==Ogg support== |
||
| − | I wish it were that easy =/ Both Puta20 (whom I flubbed up the block for last time and had it expire too soon) and the new one DudaKum are coming in from hundreds of different addresses, so I can't block by IP. I can put in a limit to number of changes in some unit of time, but they're only doing about one change every 1 or 2 minutes; not all that different from, say, someone going through and making a bunch of small spelling corrections. I do agree about needing more admins; however, I've got a new machine for the wiki to move to and I'm going to upgrade to the latest MediaWiki with that move, so I wanted to get that done before doing new sysops. That'll be another week or so.. things are mostly set up, just having some problems with apache on the new machine, but should be resolved soon. [[User:Rustak|Rustak]] 03:03, 6 Nov 2005 (EST) |

| + | == Issue with the default skin .css == |
||
| + | Hi there. In the process of editing some pages, I've noticed that at the bottom of every page, just before the Categories box there is extra vertical space that is usually taken up by the "printfooter" div class, which usually contains the "Retrieved from (link here)" text. This is hidden in the skin, but the space remains. Other skins such as monobook (used at Wikipedia) hide this too, but also remove the space. It's noticeable on articles that use a navigation box on the bottom, such as [[Amplify Magic]] which I just edited. --[[User:Piumosso-Uldum|Piumosso-Uldum]] 16:19, 21 April 2007 (EDT) |

Either way, I 'd like to invite you and other users to at least take a look to my wiki: your help, suggestions, contributions and knowledge are welcome. I already did much work there. the style is not white as someone said about wikias. Maybe if there is no problem i can add a link to it somewhere in this wiki (at least in my name-page). Here is the link: [http://warhammeronline.wikia.com/ Warhammer Online wiki]. I am not trying to underestimate wow or something. These projects can work together, people can play wow and war, without arguing which one is better. |

Alex and Schmidt are not around all that frequently at the moment, which means the burden is lying on Fandyllic. Today, whilst Fandyllic was busy, we had a awful attack of the vandals which we could barely control (he impersonated fandyllic and went after popular pages and new users). So basically, I'm asking that more are allowed into upper echelons to aid with the safe running of the wiki :) I know who I would suggest, but obviously Fandyllic should be the main person to converse with on this. |

| − | == InterWiki (bis repetita) == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hi Rustak, |
||
| − | |||
| − | I sent you an email but I think here might be a better place to contact you. Sorry if I'm spamming you. On this InterWiki system we talked about a few weeks back, I thought maybe I should explain how easy it is to implement. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the SQL database, there's a table named "interwiki". There are a lot of entries. One of them is "fr", and the cell next to it is empty. Now if you add "http://www.wikiwow.com/index.php/" in that empty cell, people will be able to use the <nowiki>[[fr:]]</nowiki> tag. This will automatically create a link to the french version of the article. For instance "[[Duskwood]]". Assuming you updated the database, I could go to the Duskwood article, and add <nowiki>[[fr:Bois de la Pénombre]]</nowiki>. This would add a "Français" link at the bottom of the left menu, linking to the correct article. Of course, we could do the same for the german wiki, etc. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Now, of course this is a win-win situation for the less-known Wikis (namely French and German ones) ; since I suppose it would increase our traffic. But it would also be nice for visitors. WoWWiki could be a translating tool. They lookup the name in either of the language, and find the translation to the other languages ''via'' the link to the other languages. Maybe there are other advantages I didn't think of, too. |
||

The gold ads have come back, and it's really not good for our image - especially with the very obvious ad on the nav bar - could you not swap them and have the smaller one there? -- [[User:Kirkburn|Kirkburn]] <small>([[User talk:Kirkburn|talk]])</small> 18:52, 7 September 2006 (EDT) |

| − | * On a related note; one small image issue. When you use the Google search, there is a broken image. In particular, the image link here: http://www.wowwiki.com/skins/common/images/wiki-100.jpg. While the image is fine, I assume it's a hotlink issue that won't allow the Google site to display the image. [[User:RiSK|RiSK]] 17:34, 29 September 2006 (EDT) |

Ogg support
Any possibility of activating the ogg support, so we can add a few warcraft sound files?Baggins 17:10, 10 April 2007 (EDT)
Issue with the default skin .css
Hi there. In the process of editing some pages, I've noticed that at the bottom of every page, just before the Categories box there is extra vertical space that is usually taken up by the "printfooter" div class, which usually contains the "Retrieved from (link here)" text. This is hidden in the skin, but the space remains. Other skins such as monobook (used at Wikipedia) hide this too, but also remove the space. It's noticeable on articles that use a navigation box on the bottom, such as 
[Amplify Magic] which I just edited. --Piumosso-Uldum 16:19, 21 April 2007 (EDT)

I have to say that i find it amusing that all the other admins have crazy user pages with tons of stuff on them and all kinds of special sigs(something i'm guilty of as well) and you've just got a regular sig and a modest user page and you own the thing. Struck me as funny/ironic. User:Reskar/Sig
Where can I get help with wowwiki errors?
It seems I am getting database errors very frequently, and I'm not sure what the problem is, or where to direct my question.
The error I get is:
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "SiteStatsUpdate::doUpdate". MySQL returned error "1213: Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction (localhost)".
For example, going to the factions page, and clicking on Thorium Brotherhood always produces this result, as well as a few other factions, so I can never view the wowwiki pages on certain subjects.
Who do I ask? or Where do I go for help?
Thanks for your help.

- All these problems should be fixed as a result of the impending move to Wikia's servers. User:Kirkburn/Sig3 06:18, 13 May 2007 (EDT)
wikia
Hi! I am new user here. I know this is not the right place to discuss some things but i dont want to spoil other wowwiki pages. I dont play wow (I 've tryed it though) but I am an addicted daoc player (4 years).
I 've noticed you guys are now part of wikia, where we have a wiki about the upcoming warhammer online game (by EA-Mythic). I was wondering if it will be possible for wowwiki users to edit wikia pages with their current username/password. Either way, I 'd like to invite you and other users to at least take a look to my wiki: your help, suggestions, contributions and knowledge are welcome. I already did much work there. the style is not white as someone said about wikias. Maybe if there is no problem i can add a link to it somewhere in this wiki (at least in my name-page). Here is the link: Warhammer Online wiki. I am not trying to underestimate wow or something. These projects can work together, people can play wow and war, without arguing which one is better.
I'd like to see a respond. I 'll watch this page for changes. thanks Erdimus 08:09, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Romanian
Hi, I guess I am one of the latest in the wowwiki team. I saw also the announce regarding other languages porting. My native language is Romanian and I have at least average English skills. So if a Romanian porting project starts you can count on me.{{araxth 19:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)|Araxth}}
Needs update, and hi!
Some of the information on the attached user page looks like it needs an update. Also, hello from a fellow Wikia wiki founder! Let me be the . . . uh, second to welcome to the community. I've been hanging around since late 2004, so if you ever need to talk to someone who's not on staff, drop me a line. :-) GreenReaper 10:47, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
