We can discuss what the front page should look like here. Drop general suggestions here as well. — Johorne | Talk 20:05, 13 Feb 2005 (PST)

[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.
- 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. — Johorne | Talk 11:02, 7 Feb 2006 (PST)
[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)
- I proposed a substantial change to the main layout of the first page. I based it on the above list of categories. Still has a ton of work to go, but let me know what you guys thing! User:Valesca
[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.
[edit] Replaced Main Page
I replaced the mainpage with a new one. Most successful wikis that I've seen use tables instead of lists, so that was the primary focus of the update. I kept all of the old information, but changed them into a table format to add color and make navigation easier. I also propose that we make the normal text black instead of brown so it stands out better against the brown background, or we do an overhaul of the wiki's colorscheme. I am making these changes and proposals based on the opinions of several experienced players that have posted both here on the wiki and in-game and my own experiences as a new player trying to navigate this site. I am totally open for suggestions, editing or reversion to the previous version if the admins prefer it. This is a very rough idea for this new format, and it will need significant polishing.

Combat Systems- Need tons of info added here
Magic- Needs info added
Skill Explanations- Needs info

AE Backstory- Do we need this? Was in the list of things to be added to navigation. I'm lukewarm, but if someone wants to add it I think it would benefit the wiki.
Talazar's Revenge- Needs added and filled in.
