Wowpedia talk:FAQ

Deprecate then neglect?
I may restore the old wiki faq, since its been 2 months since this one was deprecated and said to be replaced with sections that have never appeared. I wish people wouldn't leave tasks so unfinished... oh well.

 * Pointless. I moved the 2005/11 archives back in here (touched them up a bit though). --Mikk 04:18, 7 June 2006 (EDT)

Images? (2004, Nov)
[2004 Nov 21; Goldark ] I noticed the mention of using Blizzard images. Whilst its all very well to copy them, do we actually have anyone/anywhere to host said images, rather than linking to other 3rd party sites which I'm guessing we shouldn't really be doing? Having images for abilities/spells will certainly enhance the Wiki's appearance a lot. -- Goldark


 * We have cosmosui.org in a pinch.


 * [2004 Nov 21; AlexanderYoshi ] For now, but if we have some images we *really* want hosted, you should send a message to Rustak, and we'll discuss what images to upload/not uploading. -- AlexanderYoshi

Wiki template list (2004, Nov)
[2004 Nov 23; Goldark] Is there a page anywhere that gives a list of available Wiki templates like the money one?

Ok kicking something off unless someone finds something that works automatically :) template index

Search broken? (2005, July)
[2005 Jul 29; Farmbuyer ] Is there any discussion about the complete brokenness of the search box on the left hand side?

No matter what I enter (try "scrollbar" for one), I get A database query syntax error has occurred. This could be because of an illegal search query (see Searching WoWWiki), or it may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

SELECT cur_id,cur_namespace,cur_title,cur_text FROM cur,searchindex WHERE cur_id=si_page AND MATCH(si_title) AGAINST('+scrollbar' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AND cur_namespace IN (0,9,11) LIMIT 0, 20

from within function "SearchEngine::showResults". MySQL returned error "1016: Can't open file: 'searchindex.MYI' (errno: 145)". -- Farmbuyer, 14:58 EDT, 29 Jul 2005

Question
Is all the text free? Ie, can we pinch it and stick it in Wikipedia? - Access 12:11, 9 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Name
Shouldn't this be called 'WoWWiki FAQ', without the space in the name? -- Kirkburn 14:13, 13 June 2006 (EDT)
 * No, "WoWWiki:FAQ", which it now has been renamed to :-)  --Mikk 23:10, 11 August 2006 (EDT)

IRC channel
Prehaps add it to the forum question --Psyker7 23:24, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

The return of images
I've been posting, fixing stuff, and making the stuff more intresting, i can't seem to figure out how to upload and post pictures. There are SO MANY red links about thing like the visitor's center, that I would LOVE to fill in. ANy ideas?

FAQ about move
The about page links to the FAQ. Both don't get specific on the transition from WoWWiki to Wowpedia (I see there is somewhere a big thread about it here but didn't find summarize/FAQ so far). I personally only realized the move because of MMO-Champion talking about it. So I wonder why there is no obvious hint (like redirect or big box at page header, at the moment there's only a small text on the front page, and editing isn't locked) about the transition. I think there should be FAQ about the transition, or a link in this FAQ to such a FAQ. Maybe redirect from wowwiki.com to that FAQ if possible. Mars85 (talk) 20:14, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * We can't, unfortunately. Wikia wouldn't allow it.  -- 20:19, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
