Protection of the Main Page
Hi, I'm wondering why the main page of this Wikia is protected. It hasn't been vandalized ever and Wikia's protection policy advices against protecting the main page, and not using page protection as a pre-emptive measure. Please consider removing the protection or reducing the protection level to autoconfirmed as the protection of the main page is harmful, since it prevents all kinds of constructive edits (see w:Help:Main Page for more info). Thanks. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:12, 30 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, the main page has been vandalized before. It was done right around the introduction of the main page to the forum community. It is an unfortunate but necessary measure, in my opinion. If you would like to contribute to the main page, please let me know. I am looking for SysOps, as well! --Antodagny 22:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Greetings!
I'm PanSola, a workerbee on Wikia Gaming stuff. I want to cheer you on for having started a new gaming-related 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:
 * 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.
 * For the monobook skin you can upload a 135 x 155 pixels image to [[Image:Wiki.png]]. This will replace the "This wiki does not yet have a logo" thing with your image.
 * 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 22:45, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
