From Artix Wiki

[edit] Greetings!

I'm PanSola, a helper 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:

• Don't re-start from scratch! - There are already communities working on wikis for some of the individual games by Artix (MechQuest, AdventureQuest, and Dragon Fable). Whereever possible, I would advocate for making use of the work they have already done (which are under the GFDL license like this wiki), so that you can jump-start with the most amount of base content in the least amount of time! (just make sure you provide proper attributions to give credit where it's due!)
• Focus on your uniqueness -We don't have a wiki community for EbilGames yet, so any articles on this wiki covering that area will make this place relatively more valuable (relative to the same amount of effort invested into topics that are already covered by the other wikis). This may be something to consider if you want to strategize on how to most efficiently make this place a wiki visitors want to keep coming back to.
• Logo - If you need help making logos for your wiki, you can ask for help at this forum thread.
  • For the quartz skins (default skin that most people sees) and monaco skins (newest skin in development) you can upload a 266 x 75 pixels image to .
  • For the monobook skin a number of users prefer to use, you can upload a 135 x 155 pixels image to .
• 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. People without a userpage do not get listed in the "Featured users" listing no matter how active they are.
• 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 (if you randomly hop on, chances are it make take 10 minutes or so for somebody notice), but 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 admins of some of Wikia's biggest gaming wikis (WoW, Halo) often attend them. You can find the time for the next chat by following this link.

  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! -User:PanSola^{(talk/history)} 21:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

  [edit] Wake up call

  Please help me with this wiki. The title of this post is wake up call because I am reminding you that this wiki is still here. Well I hope you edit soon --Egyptianwhiteboy 21:32, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
