Hello?

Search Bar

Could we move the left-hand Search Bar? It's way too low now - I have to scroll down to see it. It's the number one way to find an article here, it should be obvious. --GreyDog 16:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

o,o as it happens, thats one of the things we've been lobbing back and forth amoung admin. Right now the best solution we have is to do what Tony just did earlier today and make one of these pages on your user profile. Its only sorta a temp fix, and on a per individual level... Oh! and I've noticed a trend.. ppl have been using Tony's main user page as his talk page this week... ^^ fixed it here. --Sleepy Kitty 17:02, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Aha! Just noticed this. I implemented the JavaScript I wrote to move the Search bar into the main site JavaScript, so it should be applying to everyone now. The Search box should now be beneath the Navigation box. If it's not working for you (and you're using a modern browser with JavaScript enabled) let me know! -- Sekoia 19:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Paragon Free Press

The front page says this wiki is provided by the Paragon Free Press. Is that still true?--GreyDog 18:57, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Um... Yup! I leave that there mainly out of recognition of why the wiki got started in the first place. Remind me to write that history down at some point.  :D --TonyV 03:32, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

o.o tony, go write down the history of the wiki!--Sleepy Kitty 10:56, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, here's my first crack at it! --TonyV 15:43, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Server information?

Hi Tony, I'm Catherine from Wikia and I handle most requests for new wikis. I got a request last week for a separate wiki for the COX Defiant server, which you can see here: http://requests.wikia.com/wiki/Defiantcox

I recommended that User:Bubble923 come talk to the community here about whether the material s/he wants to add should be here or in a separate wiki, but I can't see any on-wiki indication that they did that. I've now gotten a new request at http://requests.wikia.com/wiki/Defiant for the same thing, so I'd like to solicit your opinion.

In general, I think it's better for all the enthusiasts on a topic to stay on one wiki -- siphoning off some COX players to work on a separate wiki reduces the pool of editors here, and increases the chance of duplicate articles if that wiki tries to create articles on some things locally rather than using cross-wiki links to Paragon Wiki. On the other hand, server wikis can contain character profiles, guild/supergroup profiles, fan fiction and other information that might not be welcome in this wiki. WoWWiki has several successful "realm wikis" that are organized this way.

I'd like to hear from your community where you think this type of material belongs -- as part of your main namespace? Here in a separate custom namespace (such as Servers: or Groups: or Fans: or the like)? Or in separate wikis for each server? Please discuss it and let me know what you think, and I will know how to answer this requester. Thanks! — Catherine<staff/> (talk) 17:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

o.o did they say exactly what it is they wanted a server specific wiki for? @.@ I can't imagine anything other than char profiles and sg ones, but that sort of thing is being added to the city of heroes main pages soon, so a wiki for that would be a bit redundant.. not to mention one for each server.. o_o you'd have very little content on each one.. o,o anyway, sorry for reading your mail tony! --Sleepy Kitty 22:34, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
