Library and stuff
Since Library is on the first page articles i do not see any reason to have the sub libraries on the first page as well. Also i was wondering whether or not NPCs and/or Quests should yet be added. NPCs is not complete and there was disagreement to the quest spoiling issue so should it go on. --DM  ><((°>  Contribs <°))>< talk to me 14:43, 31 Aug 2005 (EDT)

I nominate Dragon as first ever TibiaWiki:Featured Article. :D --Rune Farmer 05:43, 24 Apr 2005 (EDT)

I've added a page about Isle of the Kings.
 * This has been added. Thanks! Dave 11:02, 24 Nov 2004 (EST)

I would like to see a uniform use of the terms 'character', 'player' and 'owner'. Sometimes the player = owner, sometimes the player = character. I think it is good to choose one option and keep it strict in al articles, it is the base of a good Wiki. Borr Henceforth 21:05, 1 Mar 2005 (CET)
 * This distinction, I feel, is only über-critical when discussing account sharing. Otherwise, in my opinion, use all synonyms freely to make text less repetitive.--Rune Farmer 05:40, 24 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Very good point there. I will keep this in mind when writing future articles!

ERIG! MSG ME ASAP! -sinkel

This webpage is very nice one!!
I was seaching for the way to go to "the island of the ancient kings" and I found this webpage. I must say this is one of the more usefull pages I have found. Very nice job, Erig. Thanks a lot for it.

Great job Whitelaces!
I really like the way main page looks now. It's a lot more 'representative'.

Agreed, excellent work! Much appreciated. --Erig 21:35, 12 May 2006 (CDT)

It's just super! Now its like the real wikipedia ;)

If I could do that.. ;)

Its, its, its very good

And I've also got an idea to fill the empty space under "about the wiki" Recommended links, like 'why not sign pages' 'wanted articles' 'needed articles' etc.

Its super Whitelaces!

--Edwin de waterman 03:34, 13 May 2006 (CDT)

This rocks. The wiki looks even more professional now ;)

Ever saw this page? The main_page wasn't updated since last year! This is a real good improvement!

Please have a look at this small proposall (talk)

--Edwin de waterman 16:57, 13 May 2006 (CDT)

-=- Awesome. I saw it a some time ago and didn't find the time to make you some compliments, Whitelace. The new Main Page is just what is needed to make the wiki even more appealing. On a sidenote, I notice more and more how people are referring to the wiki in game and on forums. Wonderful! --Borr 17:31, 24 July 2006 (CET)

Graveyards
Is it a possible to put Graveyards on main page? Jura 23:10, 10 July 2006

I think that would be alright. The article is mostly complete, and it is also something that is unique to the wiki (I have not seen a tibia graveyard page on any other website... only one or two graves listed).

I'll go ahead and add it, but if someone has any good reasons that it shouldn't be there, post here and it may be removed later.

Patrolling edits
=) should do this more often, a bit of small vandalism, and a lot of unknown/inaccurate information added. 11:00, 29 October 2006 (PST) <·>

Using the phrase "Patrolled Edits" is a little misleading. In mediawiki terms, patrolling edits means something different (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Patrolled_edit).

Also keep in mind that reviewing recent edits is an on-going process. As long as users edit the wiki, there will need to be admins reviewing those edits.

Keep up the good work!

rookstayers support
Don't you think we should have more support for those people who love Rookgaard so much? like maybe adding information on how to get every item in rook, or how to get all of the food items.
 * Not really necessary as all the information is here in bits - they'd have to find it first. 'Craggles 6 Nov 2006 [ Random::Chat::Guild::Contributions::Tibicam Profile ] ''

'''

The sorta "Rook-portal" for TibiaWiki is the page for Rookgaard. The best thing to do would be to make sure that the Rookgaard page has good organized links to all of the rook-specific information. Really, this is the best way to have it with the current limitations of MediaWiki.

Right now the Rookgaard page is pretty long and partially organized, but with some effort, it could be a great resource for "rookstayers."

-- Whitelaces &dagger; Talk &dagger; &chi;&rho;&iota;&sigma;to&sigmaf; &alpha;n&epsilon;&sigma;t&eta;, &alpha;&lambda;&eta;&theta;&omega;&sigmaf; &alpha;n&epsilon;&sigma;t&eta; -- 11:43, 27 November 2006 (PST)

Could it get confusing if we add sub pages for the Rookgaard page, for example Rookgaard/Food and Rookgaard/Weapons that only show information relating to Rookgaard? This way we could make the Rookgaard-article shorter and more organised.

That's kinda what I had in mind with my previous comment here, but I would want to get some more feedback before moving ahead with it.

If the Rookgaard page gets more organized, and is still too long to be useful, then I fully support the idea of making some of these "rook-specific" pages, but just don't go crazy. To some degree this will be duplicating information, and that means it will require more effort to keep it all updated and accurate.

Main Page Updating
Why is it so that the main page shows the date of "Most Recent Updates" dec 13, even though as I'm writing it's dec 15th. When I logged in here it suddenly changed to dec 15. I tried it again and when I wasn't logged in it always showed dec 13th. Usually it has updated every time I come to the Main Page.

Mocca-Kahve 05:24, 15 December 2006 (PST)

I posted a reply to your message on my talk page. Basically, I think you may need to force a refresh of the page. Try CTRL+R or CTRL+F5 on the main page and see if that helps.

It's because I turned server-side caching on for non-logged in users due to the increased server load because of the update. --Erig 00:03, 19 December 2006 (PST)

The main page is bugged or something? It's showing for me "February 2" here, with itens/npc week stuff, recent changes, tips, etc, of february 2, lol what's wrong? :s

--  &dagger; Pudd Knight &dagger;  Talk  Contribs  -- 18:10, 7 February 2007 (PST)

This will sometimes happen if your browser has cached the page.

Simply press CTRL+R (or CTRL+F5 in some browsers) to force a refresh of the page. You can also clear your browser cache if you prefer, but it should not be necessary.

Userpages
Hi all, the site looks nice. But I have an idea which might make the site even better. More and more people are making userpages, but the only way you can reach them is by searching. How about adding "userpages" to the menu on the left (under browse)?

That would be a nice addition, I support that idea!-- 18:27, 25 February 2007 (PST)

I'm not sure about making a link for it, but you can easily get a list of all user pages by going to this "Special" page:

Special:Allpages

Once there, just change the dropdown to the "User" namespace, and it will list all user pages in the wiki.

While on Popular Articles could Shop be changed to Shops to avoid getting the (Redirected from Shop) message at the top of the page? IMHO it looks slightly unprofessional that a link on the 'homepage' gets redirected.

Hunting locations
I think under the popular articles you should put the hunting locations that directs you to the site that lists the places to hunt in alphabetical or and level reccomendations for each place. I'm looking for that page now but seem to have forgotten the name of it.

renew the site?
hi i am just asking this but because of the update we will have to renew the site completly wont we?

I'm not sure what you are asking....

We will definitely need to update the wiki pages as we learn about the game changes... and we will be adding lots of more information about new items, spells, cities, etc., but I don't know that we will have to "renew the site completely".

NEED FEEDBACK ABOUT FEATURED ITEMS, ETC
Hey guys... I need some feedback about the featured items, creatures, etc.

Do you like them? Do they need to be replaced by something else? Do we need to change how they work?

I think the tips should stay, but I am wondering about the featured items, creatures and npcs. Should we change it to a "random" item/creature/npc? Should we remove them entirely and replace them with something else on the main page?

I really don't know what would be best at this point, and I need to know what the community thinks.

-- <span title="(latin) We are amused by an excellent joke">Ioco optimo delactamur  --  Whitelaces &dagger;  Talk &dagger; -- 11:03, 9 July 2007 (PDT)
 * I personally like how it is at the moment - though a random-ified npc monster item would be cool - save people haveing to update them manually. I don't like the front page articles I find them to be useless and I think we need a link to the sandbox on the frontpage. Also Like to see a link to Djinn Items there I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it difficult to find a list of djinn sellable items. Could we increase the recent edits to 20 rather than 10? Also why is the border to the green box red? How bout a random image and or a random book - now that we have a large library i think it's more than useful to have it.How bout a random users contribution list (if it's even possible)? If you're thinking of changing the layout look around all the foreign wikipedias the french polish and nertherlands layouts are divine.

That's all i can think of for now '''Craggles  [ Random::Chat::Guild::Contributions::Tibicam Profile ] '''

I think featured NPCs, Items and Creatures should stay but Featured Article could be deleted. A random system isn't much fun, I think a system which shows the most recent made NPC/Item/Creature is better (if this is possible). Instead of Featured Article there could be Featured User (just joking ^^). No, I don't know with what it should be replaced. Enough feedback.

i like the current system and i dont want to see it changed much, before i became a major contributor to the featured pages quite offten i saw a monster or an item that i didnt know about or had forgten about, its allso a good place to put a half finished creature or item page, as the featured monster/item is offten edited ALOT during its week.

About Supported Fansites
I notice theres a supported tibia fansite square in the bottom left. But this site is not a supported fansite (its not in the tibia page) I think that stamp should be removed or add above it that there you can see the supported sites.

Featured Object could be nice, Featured Spell I don't think so, everybody knows about them (I think), I can't really explain why but I don't think that's a good idea. Featured Geographical Area, what do you mean? Like Femur Hills, or Dwarven Mines? Or more like a Hunting Place?

Weapons able and un-able to enchant
There should be some information at each weapon page about that.

The facility is there already, but the information is not.

On any weapon page, you can add the parameter "enchantable = yes/no", and the attributes of the weapon will list "enchantable" when appropriate.

You can see this on the Dragon Slayer page.

Add some stuff to the main page
Since the page is protected, I would like to suggest an admin to change some little things:


 * In the Popular Articles, add a link to Items and Quests. Also, move the Runes link to alphabetic order.

Quests page should be added, even if it contain some spoiler info, everyone know that most people come here to get information for some quests. Also this page does not provide any real spoiler. I've also added a warning on the page, so there won't be a problem. Items page are another article that is very hot and should be added. And Runes moving, just to be standardized.
