I can still get on the old wiki, if you want me to copy something over. That's an open offer for everyone really.

Thanks stonegod! You are a, er, stonegod. I managed to copy things over without incident.

Question a bit out of this thread. Who I should contact to report a spam in my personal mails? Morrus?

renau1g · Apr 9, 2010

I'd start a thread in the Meta forum. That way all the mods see it (they usually look there). The spam is from EnWorld?

Velmont · Apr 9, 2010

Yeah, a user with 0 post.

::raises hand:: I didn't grab Finnian before the site went down. What do I need to do?

Hacker and Tonk have been 'ported to the new wiki.

I like the white pages. Makes it easier to read.

Any suggestions on how we should handle our mini-stats, since the wiki rejects the URL tag? Also, where can I find detailed instructions on how to handle images on the site? I tried navigating the help files and nearly blew a gasket.

Using url= activates the spamfilter, but just <url>linkname</url> works fine. (Be sure to use [ ] instead of < >)
So for my wiki page, I have
<URL>http://l4w.wikia.com/wiki/L4W

C:Jax_(Dekana)</URL>
and it shows up here as http://l4w.wikia.com/wiki/L4W:PC:Jax_(Dekana)

With the "automatically retrieve titles from external links" posting option on (it's the section right below "submit reply"), which it is by default, it looks like L4W

C:Jax (Dekana) - L4W Wiki

Edit: one more tip: use <pre> and </pre> around your ministatblock code on the wiki so its formatting is preserved. And those actually should be < > for pre, not [ ].

Images on wikia:

1. Navigate to the page you want the image to be on. It should be of the format "http://l4w.wikia.com/wiki/File

icturename.jpg" (or .gif, etc).

2. The page will say the file doesn't exist yet, "but you can upload one." Click that link. Follow the instructions it gives to finish uploading.

3. When you want to use the image in your wiki page, use the code
[[Image

icturename.jpg]]
After the picture name, you can put |left/right to align the picture on either side of the page. Other options are listed at http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Displaying_images

So for example, my code for Jezebel's image looks like [[Image:Jezebel.jpg|right]]
