New Look DiscussionEdit

HOW DO YOU GET AROUND? NO WAY TO GET TO ARTICALS OTHER THAN USEING THE "SEARCH" BOX. SOMEONE PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!! —Unsigned comment by 216.168.82.227 (talk • contribs).

Awesome new look. Looks very professional. The design is better than wikipedia's!!!;). Keep up the good work guys!

Very professional indeed.

I liked the old one better, this one has more of a mass produced look —Unsigned comment by 24.3.89.183 (talk • contribs).

I love it. It looks cool and is relatively simple. I need more pictures though! —Unsigned comment by Sethrolland (talk • contribs).

The top box doesn't work properly in IE at a resolution of 800x600. -- I need a name (Complain here) 22:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your input. This is very much under construction.=) --Imp 22:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Also, the Search box in IE7 at 1024 x 768 resolution. Just letting you know. JorrelWiki-shrinkable.pngFraajic 23:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Hmm, I too have a problem with it. The upper and left borders of the input box seem to be 2 pixels wide as opposed to the "Go" button whose border is 2 pixels wide to the lower and right (This could maybe be solved by modifying some .css pages). --Imp 23:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
        • Looks great Imp. --Eyrezer 01:32, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
          • Looks good with Firefox, Nice job. Greyman 17:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
            • The featured article is seriously confined to four or five words a line while the news and stuff is massive. I'm using Safari and it looks very disproportionate (i cant spell that word) The Ravager 18:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
              • Yeah, same problem here. I'm also using Safari...and the FA is really small. Darth Fett 13:43, 22 Februrary 2007 (UTC) - actually posted by User:131.123.49.149
                • Screenshot, please? There seem to be no problems in all browsers I have (Firefox, Opera, IE and Konqueror). - Sikon 18:51, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

                    • I like the old one better. It was more better. —Unsigned comment by 76.172.8.27 (talk • contribs).
                      • I like the extra features that are now on the main page like "On this day" and "In the News". The new design also doesn't bother me much at all. I can definitely get used to it. Kyp Fisto 01:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
                      • A short addendum though. I would like to have the era and regular star wars boxes that used to be on the main page to be placed there again. Kyp Fisto 19:21, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
                        • They're still on the main page. Just hidden. Press the "click for article navigation" button to show them. - Sikon 19:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
                          • Eck, horribly inferior to the previous version. The previous one had some pizzazz. This one screams 'Look at me! I'm like lukewarm oatmeal!' I also deplore the lack of Era links on the main page. 68.228.89.148 07:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
                            • Read the post directly above yours. The era links are still there. Really. - Sikon 07:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
                              • This new look just doesn't feel the same as the one so, I am using the old one.-Darth Homer 12:49, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • There is problems when one resize the web browser. No one should be forced to use a fullscreen mode to read a web page. But now, when I see Wookieepedia (around 640px to 800px wide, on Firefox 2), all the texts of the main title, including the input/text field overlap each others. This only happens on the title section. this anomaly DOES NOT happen on the sections below (e.g.: the "Click for article navigation" (I like its display none/block feature, by the way), "Quote of the Day", etc.), where the text reflows to accommodate given width. Paercebal 22:25, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Ahem... Must be me, but, looking at both Anakin and Obi Wan articles, I saw a grave disturbance on the CSS: The white "page body" background featuring the article disappears when the browser's width is under 800px... I switched to Linux recently, so I can't tell if it is my Firefox whose bugged, or if something in the new design caused this. I took a screenshot. I'll try this on Windows (Firefox+Internet Explorer) as soon as possible, and add information here when I have more. Paercebal 10:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
  • There is two search boxes. The one on the title section, and the Chewie box at the left side. There should be only one. Perhaps moving the Chewie Search above the navigation menu, under the Death Star Logo, and removing the search box in the title section? Everything else is very cool. Congratulations to the people who worked on the new theme. Paercebal 22:25, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
    • The Chewie search box can't be moved. It would possibly make sense to dispose of the search box on the right, though. It's causing nothing but problems. - Sikon 18:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Hate the new look. Sorry, just do. It seems like it's lost the spirit of Wikia with the new look. —Unsigned comment by Zakjedi (talk • contribs).
  • I think its too...modern perhaps? It doesnt blend well with the rest of wookieepedia. Its just not our format. —Unsigned comment by RC 2413 (talk • contribs).
  • After thinking about it, it seems too much blurry: We have at least two sections defined by their light background color and no borders, where the other sections have a clear defined border. I still hate the title section with its search box, and still love the "click for navigation" section's display mode. I visited the other, localized Wookieepedia, and the one that impressed me was the german one, "Jedipedia": Easy to read, we know what's the page, and what are border info (with the yellow background). Anyway, I would not have believed someone who told me one could do a cool Jedi web page with a yellow background color. But the results are there. The light blue one used on the Wookiepedia is almost invisible, which means that it has no use (unlike the yellow from Jedipedia). Paercebal 09:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Perhaps we should think about a more "Star Wars"-like look. I'm not talking about a black background and a yellow font-color!... ;op ... Looking at Memory Alpha we see a different, Star Trek-like style. Ok, it's almost unreadable for someone with a bad screen or poor sight, and it's not what I want (accessibility is important). But at least, when we reach the page, and look at the GUI, we know this is Star Trek, and not some random wiki page. Paercebal 09:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
  • There is some gizmo add-on that could be done easily: If we could find a free auresh font, and provide a link to download it on Wookieepedia, changing the actual font of the Wookieepedia into auresh, and back to normal would be an easy thing to code (I can provide the D-HTML code for that). As most characters, if not all, in Wookieepedia are english-based (ASCII), there should be little problems. This is useless as a feature (who's reading auresh, anyway?), but this is the kind of feature that could add a Star Wars-like mood to the Wookieepedia. Ok, it is borderline childish, but... : / ... Paercebal 09:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
    • How about no, okay? :) I know the needed HTML code (and the term "DHTML" is a meaningless buzzword, forget it), but no websites do that. It's inconvenient, and it's considered bad practice to ask users to install a font. If there's going to be any Aurebesh on Wookieepedia, it will be a pre-rendered image. - Sikon 10:36, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Ok for the "no font download", you're right about "no website do that". The point of the Aurebesh thing was to illustrate with an exemple the possibility of giving Wookieepedia a more Star Wars-like gui. I'm sure, if the "Star Wars GUI" idea is good, someone will find a convenient way to put it up. Now, your pseudo-technological comment "forget about DHTML" is both wrong, arrogant and misplaced. I never intended my help offer to be a way to bully an "hypothetical technological superiority" over my fellow Wookieepedians. This is plain silly. I won't enter a flame war on Wookieepedia about technological vocabulary issue, just because I offered help if needed. Apparently it isn't, so forget about it. Paercebal 12:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
        • What about having the "Wookieepedia BETA" thing at the top done using the same font as "Star Wars" at the beginning of the crawls. This would go well with yellow text where there is black text and black background where there is blue, and maybe gray behind the white backgrounds. That blue by itself is not just not starwarsy. And yellow borders. HM-005 00:40, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
          • Not everyone has this font installed. In fact, hardly anyone. - Sikon 08:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
            • I mean an image of the words "Wookieepedia beta" in that font. HM-005 00:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Im just not feeling the 'quote of the day' at the top, the featured article should really be the most prominent thing. Its not a big deal or anything just wondering what other people thought. The Ravager 07:29, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

  • AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I leave for about a month and Wookieepedia is destroyed!!!!! That's it I'm joining Wowwiki instead!!!!! Goodbye! Lowbacca5 04:07, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I say, bring the "top content" and "navigation" box thingies down a few dozen sizes, place them back on the left-hand side of the screen, and then you might have something goin on. I don't know about you guys, but I like the articles best when they are on the right-side of the screen as they were in the old skin. And the search bar in the upper left-hand corners kind of bugs me a little. But with these few alterations, I think I could get used to it fairly easily.

Oh, and I'm all for fooling around with the colors a little to add a better Star Warsy feel to things. Nothing drastic. Just something subtle and streamlined.--Master Dakari 04:24, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Why am I subjugated to things like "toolbox" and "top content," which are not only 100% useless, but take up a quarter of my screen? Also, the entire layout seems extremely generic, very bland, very cheesy. Please tell me why the design had to change at all, because I think the whole thing has taken about 4 steps backward.

Vandalism already??Edit

Uh, the main page has been a subject of porn vandalism...would change it, but I can't. Can someone with the proper access do it? Thanks! Greyman 17:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC) Eesh, possibly a virus on a Moderators computer? Yhiro0 13:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Umm.......Katarnipedia? Who did this? Is SuperShadow a canadite?

This isn't even funny. Avian Starr 8:32, March 31, 2007 EST

  • Don't panic. Everything is all right. -- SFH 00:36, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Man, what a great thing to do an april fools joke on! woot for Katarn! 72.205.13.185 01:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

  • HAHAHAHA!Damn funny.I thought it was some vandal until I realised the whole of wookieepedia is affected...Lord Thanatos 04:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Hahahahaha, Took me 10 seconds to figure it out. I thought it's either vandalism or it's April fools day, knew it had to be the last after I checked the page History.....Ehhhh....I mean the old facts. Who ever thought of this is a genius. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 08:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  • It must be someone obsed with Kyle who messed up the site.

or, get this, its 'april fools day'!

  • PRAISE KATARN! Savossk 14:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  • This is an awesome prank! Good Job!Josh 15:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I found another joke, Padme's page has been changed to Are You An Angel?--Dylankidwell 15:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Oh...it's an April Fool's day joke! Then it's hilarious!!!....they got me. - Avian Starr 12:18PM, April 1 2007
  • Congratulations, guys. I must admit, when I loaded the site, my first thought was that somehow I got redirected to a wikia devoted entirely to Kyle Katarn. It was only after ten minutes and a lot of puzzling that I realized that it was an April Fool's joke. You guys must have been up all night trying to set this up! Well, congratulations. - wolfking1 3:53PM, April 1 2007 (forgive me, I'm not logged in right now so I had to do it manually. Yes, this is me!)

new pageEdit

It looks okay but i think the other version was simpler and better. And it would be easy to vandalise the "in the news" and the "on this day" boxes. The edit for those boxes should only be available to established users and the categorie box should be on the main page like the other version. The "on this day" and "in the news" should be added in to the categorie box with everything else.

P.S. I would appreciate comments on this. 22 February 2007 —Unsigned comment by 216.211.6.171 (talk • contribs).

(user:Jediknight2121) * Yeah I dont mind how it is but looks like somehting thats just full of icons and it is well... almost to much though no? Like I notcied at quote of the day it had the little speaker sign to show it is the quote but some peple might think its a sound or wav bit so they wud "listen" to the quote as if it was that. So maybe that needs to be addressed but all this stuff I dont mind im used to keeping things basic maybe I dont know haha

(user Crazyman93) It looks lame, like a beginner did it, the old one was betterCrazyman93 00:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

The old one was better. It was more simplier. Everything is clumped together. —Unsigned comment by 76.172.8.27 (talk • contribs).

BRING THE OLD PAGE BACK!!! 71.208.59.54 04:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

IconsEdit

Those icons for each section... suck. Badly. It looks like someone when into the Windows shell and decided those icons would fit well on a Star Wars site, or any site for that matter. The rest is acceptable enough, though I preferred movies/eras/etc being on the front page instead of a click after the front page. Uxviii 01:00, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

  • If someone can make "Star Warsy" icons, they will be added. By the way, those are not from the Windows shell - they're from the Tango project, available under the CC-BY-SA license. - Sikon 07:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I'll see what I can come up with when I get home, if someone doesn't beat me to it. What width and height dimensions? - JMAS 18:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
      • The current ones are 22*22. I think 20*20 to 24*24 will do. - Sikon 18:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
        • The page does look kind of cool, but yeah, Star Wars icons would help. The current ones make it look like a Yahoo page. HM-005 19:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
          • If anyone has any ideas for Star Wars icons that would be good to use, post it here. Thanks. - JMAS 21:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
            • How about crossed lightsaber blades for the little plus icon? At the top of the Featured article section. HM-005 00:43, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, here's three possibles. Left-right: Featured Article, Improvement Drive, and News. The news one is the icon for TriNebulon News. - JMAS 02:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

  • The first two look great, but I don't know about the news one. Maybe have a picture of a comlink instead? And for "Did you know", should the question mark be in Aurebesh instead of one from Earth? -NighthawkLeader 02:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Click here to see how it looks with those three in place. The only other one I think really needs to be changed is the WotM icon. I'm trying to find something IU that's fitting. Good idea for the Did You Know. Let me give it a go.- JMAS 02:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Personally I dislike the FA icon. --Eyrezer 02:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
        • Eyrezer, then please give some suggestions for an alternate. I just updated some other icons in my test page. As it is right now: Featured Article is a lightsaber asterisk, made from all the blade colors seen in the films. Did you know is the Great Holocron. Improvement drive is the Death Star II. In the news is a hovercam droid. Wookieepedian of the Month is a flared Rebel Alliance icon. - JMAS 02:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
          • JMAS, I think your version looks much better. The icons match their topics perfectly. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 02:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
            • Thanks, Jack.=) Hopefully others will like it too and an Admin will put them up on the real thing. - JMAS 03:19, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
              • Well I think the current FA symbol is fine. I didn't find it readily apparent as to what the FA icon was composed of. With regards to the other icons, I think the Holocron is great, as is the WOTM - although some might say it was biased to the NR ;) --Eyrezer 05:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
                • The one I want to see replaced is the QotD one. Even a pair of quotation marks would be better than the speaker icon, which makes me want to click it to listen to the quote. As for Featured Article, what about a version of our Featured Star? jSarek 05:39, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I think JMAS's icons look good. But can you please reupload them in the PNG format with transparency? They're icons after all. - Sikon 06:41, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

  • I agree with JSarek the quote icon is a bit annoying. And maybe change the "on this day" icon to something like a datapad so that all of the icons are Star Wars related? -NighthawkLeader 06:50, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
  • In my opinion, JSarek's version does look a whole lot better. However, I do have some complaints—and I supposed there will always be some no matter what—I could not distinguish what on earth the news icon was until I read it here. My suggestion would be to make it a kind of datapad. The improvement icon as the Death Star II is a good idea, but it is sort of misleading, as it is our logo. Perhaps an astromech head? The featured icon looks, to put it bluntly, like a disco flower-thing. Perhaps a company symbol, such as KDY or the Incom corporation? Having a holocron as the Did you Know? icon is a very good idea, but perhaps not the great Holocron, as I mistook it for an asteroid. The Wookieepedian of the Month icon I'm fine with, and I agree with the idea that the QotD icon should be a comlink. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 20:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I did the icons as they are as kind of a quick thing to see how they'd look. If any of the ones up there are wanted to be implemented, I'll take the time to redo them with a transparent background in png format. I'm working on one for "On this day" and I was thinking of a comlink for the QotD. - JMAS 03:39, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

  • OK, got all the current ones I did up on the test page are now in png format with transparent background. - I'll work on the QotD one. - JMAS 04:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I changed it up a bit. I put the "Featured Article" icon as the WotM one instead and put a new on for the Featured article. - JMAS 04:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Here's all the icons in a gallery and what they are for. See them in use on the Test page. - JMAS 04:28, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
        • Great, I added them to the main page. - Sikon 05:31, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
          • Wow, now this page is excellent. The icons are now Star Wars-y (so you users whining about non-SW icons can shut up), and they look good Star Wars-y. Great job! JorrelWiki-shrinkable.pngFraajic 06:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
            • The current image for "Official Friends of Wookieepedia" is very similar to the one for "Improvement Drive." How about this new one (last image in the gallery below) instead? You can see how it looks on my Test Page. - JMAS 21:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

More criticismEdit

  • I don't really like the new look. It's not Star Warsy enough... maybe some Star Warsy icons might help... immensely. I also think movies/eras/etc. should be on the front page, but I do see the point with the "Article Navigation"-thingy. It should probably be called somwthing else than just "Article Navigation" though since it's not totally apparent that it lets you browse media, eras etc. that it lets you . The link to "Coolest thing..." should also be brought back even though that's of minor importance right now. I could live with it if the icons were made more Star Warsy though. KEJ 10:32, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
    • So the old main page, which was basically a ripoff of Wikipedia's main page, looked "Star Warsy enough"? Or perhaps our first main page looked Star Warsy? - Sikon 11:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Hold on. Note that I didn't mention the older versions, so you have no grounds for making that assumption. But since you bring it up, the first version was not Star Warsy at all, I'll give you that. The second version seems more Star Warsy due to the presence of Star Wars symbols like the era-icons and other Star Wars imagery. Anyway, as I said, some Star Warsy icons could do the trick, and they might even make this version more Star Warsy than ever, as the icons will be spread all over the page whereas, on the former version, all the era icons are placed in the same section. The color scheme could possibly also be made more Star Warsy (maybe some yellow/black stuff like the opening crawls, or something else). KEJ 11:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
  • The Categories section is more of an index now and is difficult to navigate. It should be switched to its previous format. Karohalva 15:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I agree with replacing the icons with more Star Warsy ones, and to be honest, the menu could be reworked somehow so that it doesn't have to be expanded... - \\Captain Kwenn// — Ahoy! 15:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
      • How about no. Making the main page more cluttered won't help. Clutter was exactly what was wrong with the previous main page. - Sikon 18:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
        • Ya, don't like it either. It looks more Wikipedia-like than Wookieepedia. It just doesn't look right. -- Cato Neimoidia 01:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Agreed i dont like it at all, it looks fresh but not unique. User:Aron Skywalker/Sig.

Question about "article navigation" boxEdit

Hello all.

The Star Wars Merchandise Wiki shares the same main page. I made the "Project:Article navigation" page, but instead like it was done here, I made it as one page without any templates. Now that thing is not collapsible! What's the problem? And could somebody help me? Thanks. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

  • The collapsing box is implemented via JavaScript, and I don't see any custom JS on the merchandise wiki. - Sikon 18:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I figured that would have been the problem. JorrelWiki-shrinkable.pngFraajic 18:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I give up. What have I forgotten? I added Common.js, modified Common.css and Monobook.js. This thing drives me mad! Reminds me why I rather study PHP code than on this. I purged my cache and still nothing, thus telling that something is wrong. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I did full copy and paste for all of those three files and finally it works - not. Well, it is collapsed now. It's just impossible to open it by clicking "Click for article navigation". That link takes you to "Project:Article navigation" page. I don't get this thing. Somebody please help me! --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Category CatastropheEdit

Can someone please tell me what happened to the Category page? It has been transformed into a category index! Navigation through Wookieepedia is now terrible! Karohalva 19:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

  • What category page?! - Sikon 23:32, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
    • The page you get to from the Main Page which is labeled Categories. —Unsigned comment by 72.64.108.208 (talk • contribs).
      • This isn't related to the Main Page. Wikia controls the special pages, ask them. - Sikon 01:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
        • Really? Who'd've thunk it? Karohalva 05:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
        • You should be mistaking pages, what most people misses is the box with the base index "In-Universe: Characters, Ships, Planets..." and "Real World: Movies, Comics, Novels...". I don't think Wikia controls that one, and was really most needed Thinortolan 10:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
          • IT IS HERE. All you need to do to open it is click the "click for article navigation" link. How many more times should this be said? - Sikon 14:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
            • There should be some way that the poeple who want to see the "hidden/hard to navigate" dropdown page if they want to get at it without the click. The whole point of the main page is to be the gateway to the site. If some people (not necessarily me) want to navigate the site easier, we should make it happen.--ShadowTrooper 21:59, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

New main page format pollEdit

  • Lets make this simple.RC 2413 00:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

This poll will end on March 9th,two weeks after this polls creation.

  • ...And the point is? To see whether or not people like it? - Sikon 01:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
  • the point is that by the end of the poll we will see the consensus of wookieepedians who like and who dislike. We were told to leave an opinion, and on march ninth, we will have an opinion.RC 2413 05:44, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
  • I personnaly think the poll is a brilliant idea 24 February 2007 —Unsigned comment by 216.211.76.215 (talk • contribs).
    • Polls using the MediaWiki poll extension cannot be used to determine consensus. They're extremely vulnerable to vote rigging. This one has already been vote-rigged (45 votes... very funny, whoever did it), so I removed it. But even if it remained, it would never be used for any administrative decision. - Sikon 07:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
      • I am not going to start a new poll, but how do we know that it was rigged, what if people acutally did vote that way. Now, if there is a way for you to know 100% then i apologize, but i do not know for sure. Also, the poll was not for an administrative decision, but simply a poll. It is a not a vote and does not require any admins to go back and change the main page to the old version. Do not hamper anyones ability to express their right of free speech (if any)on how wookieepedia is or should be structured. —Unsigned comment by RC 2413 (talk • contribs).
        • Is that an order? And since when is "free speech" a Wookieepedia policy? And I think that having even votes for hours and then suddenly one side gaining 45 votes in mere minutes is a perfect example of vote-rigging. - Sikon 19:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
          • No. A request. I am not saying youre decisions are wrong, I just disagree with how its presented. I m not trying to start a fight. As for the votes, like I said i would; I apologize. My local time had me go to sleep so you must have been on wookiee longer than I, I did not see the votes flare up. Its a shame that there are Dikuts (pardom my mandolorian) that would do that, especially when they should know that it was not a vote, just a query on what poeple liked. I dont want to argue over this anymore, and im sorry it got started anyway. However, you might think of wording things a little bit nicer, there is a bad impression. —Unsigned comment by RC 2413 (talk • contribs).

Safari ProblemsEdit

left|thumb|175px|Selection Screenshot of New Main Page from Safari As mentioned at the start of the discussion, the featured article column is very thin and a lot longer that the second column. Can someone please fix this if the new page is going to go ahead? -NighthawkLeader 02:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Hmm. That's interesting, because I couldn't reproduce this in any of the browsers I have (Firefox, IE, Opera and Konqueror). If someone having Safari could fix the Main Page, I'd be grateful. - Sikon 03:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Improvement Drive and Wookieepedian of the MonthEdit

  • This may seem stupid and pointless to some, but I liked having the ID and WOTM next to each other. It may just be my browser, but I still think it would be good to keep them together. They do go hand in hand. Darth Fett 22:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Problems For a few hoursEdit

  • For a few hours I could not access the new Beta main page but I could get on to the old one no problem although every page I went into was for lack of a better word...Extremely Screwed Up.
  • The search bar was on the bottom of the pages and the external adds were on the bottom to.
  • And at the top of the page were the the article-discussion-edit-history buttoms are supposed to be they were underneath the article. And a lot of things were jumbled around and frankly it was pathetic.
  • The same thing has happend to me on wikipedia before.
  • If this has happend to others please leave a comment on this subject.
  • Febuary 24.
  • Signed The Mysterious Stranger.
  • P.S. What happend to the Poll? —Unsigned comment by 216.211.73.209 (talk • contribs).

Why?Edit

Sorry to bring this up, but why this hostile reaction towards the critique of the new pages? KEJ 13:19, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

  • What hostile reaction? - Sikon 14:27, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Let me tell you why, The Direct links (specially category's) are gone, the wording is all cramped to gather like someone trying to fit twelve lines of size 12 font into six lines of size 10 font space, it looks ugly in general, and is hard to navigate even for veteran user's

All in all this looks like a grade six primary student did it for IT class!

In General when ever you want too trail something new Always make sure the Alpha/Original is still accessible, Oh and put this beta page to a vote! - "Awar 16:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)".

    • Once again: THE DIRECT LINKS ARE NOT GONE. Really. If you can't find them despite a BLOODILY OBVIOUS BLUE BUTTON opening them, it's your problem. Sorry for the uppercase, but these pointless objections really annoy me. (As for a vote: there already was one. No point in making another one.) - Sikon 17:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
      • (There's one). KEJ 14:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
  • First off, The catagory's are in a hidden window that when you open makes the page look ever worse/uglier than it was before! (Since there not openly visable on the page, They are coounted as hidden). Second fix the text size & spacing so it looks readable! Third you asked for an opinion why people don't like the beta page, so don't flame me because you get one! - "Awar 05:40, 25 February 2007 (UTC)".
    • I'm not flaming anyone. What do you mean by "looking readable"? Is the current layout unreadable? Why? Give arguments and suggestions for improvement, not just "I don't like it" comments. - Sikon 16:59, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I think the history part needs to provide older items.Edit

Events from just the past few years are too recent. One or two a week from the past 10 years should be suffiecent. 60% should be from when Lucas was still working on the concept up through the time when ROJ was released. The rest should be the remaining years. Will (Talk - contribs) 20:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Perhaps when the new Making of Star Wars book comes out, we'll have more exact dates. —Silly Dan (talk) 04:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

DiscontinuityEdit

The front page could still use some work, but why don't the article pages look similar to it? They don't have the same slick feel as the Main Page. HM-005 00:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Don't give ideas. The articles are the only part that still look slick. Inigo Montoya 00:59, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Do you mean infoboxes? - Sikon 06:37, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Well... Kind of. The article pages would match the main page if the infoboxes had curved corners and were blue with no borders. Same for the image boxes. If Wookieepedia's look is going to be changed, at least change all of it. The pages should all match. HM-005 16:50, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Yeah, I did too! Actually, a few times, even the night before I was having problems. Strange! supergeeky1 20px The Cantina 11:00, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Edit

I propose we change the logo for the rest of the year to have something about 30 years of Star Wars in it. Maybe we could change it to the Death Star completed, instead of being built? What do you think? supergeeky1 20px The Cantina 11:00, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

    • In a way, the death star shown is complete. It isn't the one from A New Hope, but the one from Return of the Jedi. Will (Talk - contribs) 00:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
  • I dont know, to me it makes it more like the wikipedia image-incomplete. It is also a sign that wookiee is always being built upon, that it will never be finished because there is and enless future for starwars. I say keep it. Plus, it looks cool. RC 2413 17:43, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I think if not a new logo for this momentous year, than something. I know we have this whole best thing in star wars vote, but we should do something extra special, like put logo or something like that on the main page. Eh...any other ideas? - Darth Fett 21:34, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
      • What about creating images with, for example, Anakin/Vader's head, sliced down the center, with Luke's head on the other side? Padme/Leia, Jango/Boba, Young Obi Wan/Old Obi Wan, etc. Then add something like 30 YEARS OF THE FORCE, place it on the Main Page. If possible, we could do a random image each time you click on, how about that? supergeeky1 20px The Cantina 22:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
        • This is what I came up with...they're not incredibly good, but if anyone could clean them up or something, that would be much appreciated - Darth Fett 05:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
        • Ok...so wikipedia won't accept .tiff files, and I can't figure out how to change the format on my pictures...so once I figure that out, I'll put them on. - Darth Fett 05:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Those are great! Nice job! Is an admin. gonna put it on the Main Page? Like I said before, I think the best thing we could do is make them a random image each time you click on, if it's possible. Also, there needs to be something about the 30th year of Star Wars on it. supergeeky1 20px The Cantina 21:21, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

  • What the? You'll scare people off with these. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:13, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Well, the Fetts one is nice, but the others kind of stink (especially the Kenobi one. *shudders*). They're a bit too mismatched. It's a nice idea, just poor execution. Darth Metus 16:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Some, I must agree are a bit odd. That said, the second Kenobi one and the Padme/Leia one are excellent. DarthSeafort 20:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
  • You know, I even said myself they weren't amazing...I also said that someone should clean them up or something...and I want to see you guys make two different faces line up perfectly...ewan's and alec's faces are completely different sizes...and alot of the coloring is off in the original trilogy...oh, and thanks for all the wonderfully descriptive reasons why you don't like these...dickheads. - Darth Fett 23:02, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Calling people who don't want to use your idea "dickheads" is probably not the best way to get them to change their minds. A couple already explained that while it's sort of a cool idea, it's been poorly executed and these images simply don't reflect the kind of quality we want as our face to the world. For your idea to be successful, we would basically have to have a professional or semi-pro graphic artist make the images from scratch rather than just pasting mismatched images on top of one another. If there is interest in trying to come up with a really professional-looking version of one of these images, then I think that's worth pursuing, but the images as they are right now don't belong on the main page. I think that's all anyone is trying to say. Israi 19:21, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
      • And yet again, you're not listening to me...I know they're not good enough to be on the front page, and like I said, if anyone is willing fix them up or, maybe I didn't mention this, use the ideas to create something new...and no, I'm not calling the people that don't want to use my idea dickheads...That's not important...It's the fact that instead of giving me constructive criticism they just said, and I quote, "For the love of Waru, Katarn, and pants, no." I'm sorry, but that really doesn't seem very useful...All that tells me is that you don't like it...and I do thank the people that actually gave reasons for not liking them...and like I said, I know some of them look really bad, but I did them at 3 in the morning, and really wasn't trying too hard...and even if I was, those faces are hard to line up...and that's all I'm getting at. - Darth Fett 05:07, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
        • I am listening to you. My point is that we should bring this idea up somewhere that the sorts of people who are good at this thing might be paying attention to. A Mofference maybe? I'm not sure. It's a good idea, but I think we should find someone who can make them look really professional. Israi 18:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

New iconsEdit

  • Great job. KEJ 23:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Long QOTDS and FA in 1024 x 768Edit

On the 1024 x 768 resolution, long QOTDs push the FA totally off the page. Is there any way to move the QOTD box underneath or to the side of the FA box? I feel the FAs should have a prominent place at the top of the page, not the QOTD. StarNeptuneTalk to me! 07:07, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Possible BugEdit

For the past couple of days I have not been able to edit. When I try to the page goes blank nothing but blue. So I was wondering if anybody has had the same problem. 216.211.76.240 10:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

    • This is not related to the main page, so you better ask the Wikia staff on IRC. And please register. - Sikon 17:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

WOW!Edit

I've been gone for a month, and I can see that this wiki has made some great progress! Great job guys! And that main page! WOW! Adamwankenobi 02:15, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Main Page StyleEdit

  • Yeah, I know this was already mentioned somewhere in here, but it needs reiterating. We really should have a different style to the Wookieepedia main page. I'm not talking about what has been changed so far, but more along color schemes. It may not be important to some, but a lot of the other wiki's I've seen have intresting color schemes, usually giving them more of a feel towards what they are about. Now I know yellow text on a black background isn't exactly a plausible idea, but anything is better than black on white. It's so boring! Other than that, though, I think the main page looks great. - Darth Fett 22:02, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Hooray! Wookieepedia's 2nd!Edit

Let me just say it has been an honor serving Wookieepedia for... 2 months. Yeah. So I'm a newbie. But I would just like to say that without Wookieepedia, I would have never known about Sith (species), or Darth Bane, or even Coleman Trebor. Wookieepedia is definitely the best Star Wars resource on the web, and I look forward to contributing for a long, long time. Truly yours, Smuggler Freak 06:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC).

InfoboxesEdit

Okay, I think the new infoboxes look like a piece of bologna compared to what they were before. They look too precise, they need to be more ummm... I don't know, but the ones before were a lot better. -- Cato Neimoidia 22:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

  • I think the lack of borders makes them look a bit odd, though of course it'd be difficult to fit borders to the rounded edges - \\Captain Kwenn// — Ahoy! 22:12, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Also I think they're too small. Sure they take up less space, but they look kinda wierd to me, you know like when you look at something too big or I see small, its a bunch of squares with different colors, and when merged together make a picture, it looks all messed up when you can see them. -- Cato Neimoidia 23:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
      • The current infoboxes have the exact same width as the old ones: 250px. - Sikon 16:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • They are the same size, but they have no borders. Bring back the borders please--Gonzalo84 16:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
    • As I said, the elimination of borders was a conscious design decision. - Sikon 21:21, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Help If PossibleEdit

Yo peoples I just made an account here. I hope I don't drive everyone here insane, since Im kinda stupid lol, anyway I wanted to know if anyone could like show some pictures of diffrent types of sith swords or war swords. There is a certain one I've been looking for, I found it once but I can't find it again. Well anyways thank for the help

  • you could start by signing your items by typing this:--~~~~. --Amthyst fire 19:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Try going here: Sword. It should have links to other swords, where you can probably find the pictures you are looking for. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 19:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Help With the DateEdit

In the upper right hand corner, where it says ___articles since march 4, 2005, could someone do me a favor and capitalize the m? Thanks. Chack Jadson 20:11, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, here's my two creditsEdit

  • 1-Is it possible to change the number on the "on this day" to whatever the current day is? Instead of 12, it'd be 11 today for example.
  • 2-When I search, it does not keep a history of past searches. It does on Wikipedia, but ever since we went to a new main page, it hasn't. It used to in the search box in the upper-right hand corner, but now that's gone. And by a "history of past searches", I mean like when you click in the box, it displays things you have previously searched for. Chack Jadson 17:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
    • 1. The "on this day" box displays the current day in UTC. 2. This is a browser feature, not related to the site design. - Sikon 03:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
    • 2: That's the damnedest thing; the same thing happened to me. The saved form history on Firefox doesn't work here any more for me either, and I thought it was just my computer. - Lord Hydronium
  • Yea you have to deal with time in respect to Greenwich Mean Time. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
    • No, I mean the 12 on the little ring icon. It's annoying that it is just a random day. Chack Jadson 20:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
      • Well, the fact that it doesn't keep the search (a record) is annoying. Chack Jadson 19:50, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

FA linkEdit

Is it really necessary to have three seperate links to Wookieepedia:Featured articles on the Main Page? Adamwankenobi 19:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Browse Category NeededEdit

I would suggest that Category:Browse should be created and placed at the bottom of the main page. The Browse category would, of course, include only those categories which would be sufficient for a user to start from to get to any category on Wookieepedia. I would suggest Category:Star Wars and Category:Wookieepedia as subcategories for a Browse category. ~ Jaywin

Blue?Edit

Does anyone else think the light blue fill color around everything is a bit odd? Israi 16:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Yes. -- I need a name (Complain here) 16:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

      • It just doesn't quite..."fit"... Maybe if it was darkened again, but the light blue is "off" IMHO. --Hencho414 16:39, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

            • Hmm, that's odd. When I posted that, it was still the light blue. I cleared history and stuff, and now the dark blue shows up. But it looks great now. JorrelWiki-shrinkable.pngFraajic 16:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

  • In any case I think we ought to fix the blue borders. It isn't even the same hue as all the other blues present on the page, and it just looks random and sloppy.

Trouble with FirefoxEdit

Hey there, I have been experiencing some trouble with Firefox not displaying Wookieepedia correctly. The script and formatting are all wrong. Is anyone else been having this problem recently? If you have, is there a fix available? Or a suggestion? It was working perfectly fine, and then I turned around one min and it was messed up. So I uninstalled it and re-installed it, but it still is happening. I noticed that it is also doing the same thing for Wikipedia, but all the other Wiki's appear fine and as they should; it's only Wookieepedia and Wikipedia that seem to effected. Any ideas? Thanks.

Genocide is not a VerbEdit

Genocide should not be used as a verb. it is a noun. Therefore, it should not be used in the did you know section. Even if it was a verb, it just sounds stupid. —Unsigned comment by 204.38.203.62 (talk • contribs).

Even if it's not a verb, you can still say someone, or something, 'committed genocide' or 'attempted genocide'. Since I have no idea when this is from, I can't see what exactly what was said. 208.34.129.190

  • A previous version of Template:DidYouKnow, which appears on the front page, used "genocided" instead of "comitted genocide". —Silly Dan (talk) 03:34, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Inquistorius SectionEdit

  • Personally, I think that articles under review by the Inqusitorius do not get enough publicity, so not enough people work on them. Because of this, most if not all of the articles under review lose their FA status. I think that a small notice about the articles under review by the Inquisitorius should be added to the main page to let more people know about the articles that are in danger of losing their FA status. Post comments here, please.Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 19:44, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
    • I actually thought of this before as well. I think that, if it could be worked in as sort of an FA IDrive, it may work. Although, I'm only one opinion. Jorrel 20px Fraajic 08:09, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
      • I agree- more notification is needed about FA's up the loss of their status. And I like the FA IDrive idea too NighthawkLeader 08:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Yes, Fourdot, but not everyone looks at the FA pages, and the Inq page. This would be simply a resource to help casual users who don't dig around for articles under Inq review that would give a little more notice to the FA's that don't pass muster. The Improvement Drive was a good idea, why not add a little subsection under that? Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 21:30, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

suggestion regarding searchEdit

I don't know if this is the place to make such a suggestion, but I noticed that since the pictures attached to the search button randomly change, I occasionally see pictures that picque my curiosity. Unfortunately, there is no way to find out what the image actually is. I thought it might be a good idea, and encourage people to look at articles they haven't seen before, if the left side of the search button became a link to the image's related article, and the right side of the search button (marked "SEARCH") continued to be a link to the advanced search. Israi 17:12, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Nevermind... sorry guys! Israi 17:16, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

SuggestionEdit

I propose that we brainstorm and implement some means to warn new visitors, clearly and at the top of the main page (like our spoiler warning), that they can't add fanon to articles. I also propose that this warning shouldn't just say "No Fanon" because that doesn't explain it readily enough. Reason #1: Obviously new users are not paying attention to the verifiability warning under our edit windows. Reason #2: A more visible warning would, I think, cut down significantly not only on the idiotic Darth Awesome articles being created, but also on stuff like the recent anon who miscategorized dozens of planets based on reasonable but fanonical assumptions. Reason #3: Less time robbed from our Recent Changes patrollers. Reason #4: Fewer potentially good-faith newbies being banned for their slow comprehension. Reason #5: BJAODN can only get so long. ;)

Maybe it could take the form of a short, sweet phrase right after or before the spoiler warning, to the effect of "Source everything you add!" Gonk (Gonk!) 15:43, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Gonk's suggestion has merit. Also included should be a link to a page that comprehensively defines fanon--but you lot knew that already. ;o)--Goodwood 15:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
    • "Fanon" isn't even really the right word; its use outside of here is "fan ideas that have been so accepted they're treated as canon" (thus, "fan canon"). So, yeah, let's not use that word at all. "Fan fiction" might be clearer. But I like this proposal; the only possible drawback I can see is making the top of the page more cluttered, but good formatting can fix that. - Lord Hydronium 10:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
      • I had no idea fanon meant that. In that case, all our pages (and the text below our edit box) should say "no fanon or fan fiction." But if the main page just says "Always source new content" or something phrased positively like that, it's less of a concern. Gonk (Gonk!) 11:20, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
        • I agree with Gonk and his suggestions. That way, with it being on the Main Page, no one can ever say "I didn't know, honestly!" Greyman(Paratus) 14:45, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I think any notices should not only say no fanon, but also something along the lines of nothing that you have made up. Now, before you start telling me they're the same, hear me out. Many users/anons seem to think that it's not counted as fanon if it is in a book they've written and intend/want to get published. I.e. "User X, what is your source for Darth Awesome?" "Oh he's in my new book. I'm getting it published next christmas." We need to clarify for these users that anything they invent, be it in a formal way (like in a book) or in an informal way (like they just made it up on the spot) is fanon/fan fiction. 20px TheOne&OnlyAdmirableAckbar (It's A Trap!) 17:29, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
    • I've been thinking along those same lines, Ackbar, but have come to the conclusion that if we try to factor in every conceivable way that fanonists can be confused, the warning will end up twelve pages long and we'll all kill ourselves out of frustration before it's even finished. So perhaps what is needed is something simple. I agree that calling it "fanon" or even "fan fiction" might not be sufficiently clear, but whatever form the warning takes, it needs to be like four or five simple words. And nothing too angry-sounding or off-putting, hence my suggestion that it be phrased positively (like "Source everything you add"). Gonk (Gonk!) 17:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I am wondering why the Jundland Wastes Sandbox isn't a link on the main page. Cactuar83 13:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

FFXICLOPEDIAEdit

Why does the logo say FFXLICLOPEDIA? Fett 1138 (HoloNet Transceiver) 15px 23:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Thats what I'm wondering. Zakor1138 02:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
    • What are you talking about? The logo looks the same as it always has. - JMAS 02:20, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
      • Really? You don't see the logo on top as FFXICLOPEDIA? Weird. Zakor1138 02:29, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
        • Same thing happened to Halopedia. Some users said that it said FFXIclopedia at the top, but their techs are working on it, so we should get ours working too. Jack-118 13:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Darth VAder and yoda in soul caliburEdit

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3165334 i put it in the news section but the link won't work... DjMack 23:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Minor changeEdit

Could an admin change the Soul Calibur link so it goes to the Wikipedia page, rather than being a redlink? Chack Jadson (Talk) 20:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Official Friends of WookieepediaEdit

When is this going to be looked at? --Grubish360 00:34, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

  • How do you mean? -- Riffsyphon1024 02:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
    • I mean that this page has never changed and seems that it is never looked at. --Grubish360 12:43, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
      • Well that page has historically been a slow process. We have to have the other side agree to be an Official Friend and sometimes it is difficult to contact them and get them to do so. Carty was supported but he basically fell off the SW grid for some time while his site was down. -- Riffsyphon1024 21:41, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

New LookEdit

I really like it...but I'm assuming there is nothing that can be done about the ads at the top of the page, and all around the page...kind of annoying. -Darth Fett 05:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

  • If you don't want to use this one, and go back to Monobook instead, go into your preferences, uncheck custom wikis, and check Monobook. Then save and everything should be back to normal. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:26, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Your Main Page is BrokenEdit

When I expand the article navigation, the image from the Featured article does not move, and thus impedes links. Regards. --LordTBT Talk! 01:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

  • What browser are you using? --Imperialles 01:35, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
IE7. I can take an SS if need be. --LordTBT Talk! 05:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Moving Main Page to Star Wars wikiEdit

Hey. Should we move our main page to a different location such as Star Wars wiki to increase our notability on Google? --Eyrezer 03:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Yes! Bow down before the Wikia Community Development team's suggestion! —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 03:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Aurebesh, Hmm?Edit

I'm going to assume we can all yell, "April Fools!", because I'm sure my computer isn't set to translate into Aurebesh for the websites I visit. JamesKryackThe Sith shall rise to power! 00:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Oh no. This is a permanent change. You can see some of the discussion that went into it here. jSarek 00:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Its only a dream.... Its only a dream... The Almighty Ninja 15px| 00:41, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • What the hell?? This is just wierd lol...lemme just say, I don't like it, cuz unlike some people I don't know how to read aurbesh without referring to a chart. I'm with Darth Malevlent on this: this has April Fool's joke written all over it.--JuiceStain Rock on! 20px 01:44, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
    • This is leaps and bounds better than last year's April Fools joke. That was a nightmare. Adamwankenobi 03:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • I remember the starwars.com site put items from Willard into the Star Wars Databank as a funny April's Fool cross-over. I don't recall Wookieepedia's April Fools last year....--JuiceStain Rock on! 20px 04:45, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Wow, this is a good opportunity for Star Wars fans to practice reading Aurebesh! Lol, April Fool's doesn't start in my state for another 14 minutes. Marco Lam 20px(Contact) 06:46, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • I really don't like wookieepedia in Aurebesh. Surely the english version should be default and then you could go on the aurebesh version if you wanted to. Also, i went over onto the link to the "english version of this site", which is now called "darthepedia", has 924 articles, and i am not a user on it. WTF??!!? CHANGE IT BACK--Tom rules 14:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Oh, its April Fools day today...ha ha --Tom rules 15:35, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Wonderful!--The All-knowing Sith'ari 18:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
        • Tom: Darthipedia is a Star Wars humour site. Somehow they've made it look like Wookieepedia. Darth Oompy 18:26, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Come on! Let's wipe out Aurebesh from the Wookieepedia, notably from the Main Page. The April 1 Day is finished, according the Wookieepedian clock. -- Delmar Nori 02:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

  • It's returning to normality now. —Silly Dan (talk) 02:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Thanks. Now we must restore the older search icons in English. -- Delmar Nori 02:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Yes, yes. We know. We admins are on it. Thank you. Greyman Jan.png (Talk) 02:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
        • Geez, people don't know how to take a joke. Heh. -- AurebeshArialLinkR.pngAurebeshArialLinkI.pngAurebeshArialLinkF.pngAurebeshArialLinkF.pngBasicArialLinkBold1.pngBasicArialLinkBold0.pngBasicArialLinkBold2.pngBasicArialLinkBold4.png

ForumEdit

Hey, there's a forum now, it's called the New Imperial order , and they have forums on some Star Wars Games, along with a forum for general chat (no vulgarity, please). Just visit it by clicking the link above.

  • HELP? I'm normally good at figuring this stuff out, but how does the site, or at least searching, work? Darth Shohet 19:52, June 20, 2008
