Welcome, everyone, to the new site! We're glad you decided to join us. I hope you are settling in well - there's a few tweaks here and there left to be made (and feel free to help edit away stuff that doesn't look right), but mostly it should work like a charm. If you haven't yet, head over to [[Special:UserMigration|reclaim your WoWWiki username]]. If you need (or want) an account rename or merge or have any other problems, let us know.

Now, a few details about the move: We are being hosted by Curse. They are very excited to be working with us and we should see some nice improvements (tooltips auto-updated from Sigrie and the like) coming down the road. They are doing this ad-free (nice change from Wikia, huh?), at least for a few months. We did have a few other options - some of them very tempting - but the Curse option just clicked (and we had to move fast with Wikia shoving a skin down our throats).

:::Cool, thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye on my previous edits. I would also like to note that for some reason, I always have the habit of clicking the top logo of a site since that is the most common way to get to the homepage. This new wiki makes that minor habit work a lot better since the top logo on wikia brings you to wikia, not wowwiki. I wasn't really bothered to think of my stance about the transfer issue, but since wikia just rolled out their new look and seeing the way this site feels, I do believe you have not made anything remotely close to a bad decision. To add to the awesomeness, I am an avid Curse user and they are the only way I maintain my addons.

Will Curse take any part in the management, or are they giving ''carte blanche'' to you guys as the original admins? --[[User:Joshmaul|Joshmaul]] ([[User talk:Joshmaul|talk]]) 01:52, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

It would probably be a good idea to throw some kind of notification onto the WoW Forums, at least in General and UI forums. I would have done it myself, but I figured the website admins would want the honor. --[[User:DrDoom|DrDoom]] ([[User talk:DrDoom|talk]]) 04:44, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Revision as of 05:01, 21 October 2010

Forums: Village pump → Welcome to the new Wowpedia!

Welcome, everyone, to the new site! We're glad you decided to join us. I hope you are settling in well - there's a few tweaks here and there left to be made (and feel free to help edit away stuff that doesn't look right), but mostly it should work like a charm. If you haven't yet, head over to reclaim your WoWWiki username. If you need (or want) an account rename or merge or have any other problems, let us know.

Now, a few details about the move: We are being hosted by Curse. They are very excited to be working with us and we should see some nice improvements (tooltips auto-updated from Sigrie and the like) coming down the road. They are doing this ad-free (nice change from Wikia, huh?), at least for a few months. We did have a few other options - some of them very tempting - but the Curse option just clicked (and we had to move fast with Wikia shoving a skin down our throats).

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!C207,729 contributions and counting) 23:58, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

A big thank you to Curse, then, for being so awesome.
