[edit] multiple doctypes in some pages

If you check the source of the main page, you'll see that, for some reason, there are two doctype statements. -- Ghost of Choice

Yeah, I noticed this just b4 I left and didn't have time to fix. It's because I tried to implement HTMLTidy on the pages. I've removed that til I know a little more about it. Johorne | Talk 09:05, 3 Apr 2005 (PDT)

[edit] logo

Hey, you guys need a new logo for the AEWiki? Is that to replace this round-square I see here at the top left of all the pages on this website? I have some skills with photoshop, I can make a new one if you like.

Yes, that would be cool. Johorne | Talk 16:41, 21 Jan 2006 (PST)
I see Excito has done a banner image. Looks pretty good to me. I'd still like a replacment for the corner logo that appears on each page. (the banner logo, even if clipped to AEWiki, would be too long.)

[edit] quest articles

Hey there, I've been gleaming some information regarding quests from this page and only later on I recognized that you guys had an issue about deriving information from other pages? So I'm wondering now if I was not supposed to do this, and if I have to complete the quests myself and post the information. Some of the quests I have actually done by myself but not all of the ones I have posted. On the other hand, is it fair use if I cite the source of the information on the article pages?

Well, some people don't copyright the info they publish. But as I recall Myke (the benefactor of the site in question), is one among several who explicit DO copyright their material. I interpret this to mean that you cannot quote his words. You have to write up the quests in your own words at least. Unless you get permission from the authors to quote and credit.

[edit] Navigational Changes

Hey there :) Just joined, and I'll try to add things as I run across them and have time to.

Just wanted to ask for the following changes on the navigation menu (left side of screen).

Why not make it similar to what Ashen Empires or the Dragoneers or even Aaron Korr have going on their sites? It would be easier to navigate by subject rather than by the classic wiki form.

Generally, you're going to want to have the following headings:

  • Combat
  • Magic
  • Skills
  • Quests
  • Gameplay HowTo's
  • Story Info
  • Game Info (like history, current going ons, etc.)

Ultimately, the information here is fine. Getting to it, on the other hand, is a chore.


I'll look at that Nwellyn. I also need to upgrade the software version, so I'll be looking at some of the wiki internals more than usual soon anways. Unfortunately, I understand changing navigation to require manual customization, rather than just editing some special wiki page - so this may take a while. It will be nice if we had some other editors comment on the headings you've proposed, so we don't have to change them very much. Johorne/(Saveena) | Talk 23:04, 3 Sep 2006 (PDT)

[edit] AE, TR and SoC logos.

I've uploaded the 3 expansion logos for use on the various monster and item pages. Please add these to the "expansion" area of any page that needs such a distinction. This way if someone clicks on the TR logo image for instance, they'll get a listing of all the TR exclusive content.

[edit] Potions

Would like to find a list of potions. How much healing potions heal, how much repairs repair, ect.

Some effects are available on the potion's pages: Alchemy
