Hey, you probably get this all the time, but how does one go about becoming an admin? I realize I am new to this Wiki, but I have played every single Viva Pinata, captured every kind of pinata, and gotten all achievements for the first two-September 12, 2008
  
How do you upload pictures to the Wiki? I wanted to put the WildCard Pictures on the WCF Page in a gallary, with captions, like the WildCard Page. But I can't get it to work.

Admin

Hey, you probably get this all the time, but how does one go about becoming an admin? I realize I am new to this Wiki, but I have played every single Viva Pinata, captured every kind of pinata, and gotten all achievements for the first two-September 12, 2008

wiki popups

would it be possible to install this editing tool -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation_popups ? that would be hot. –xenocidic (talk) 22:58, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


I use that one on Wikipedia all the time. I'll try to get it installed here in the next few days (probably before the weekend is over). --Jimmcq 23:30, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


While you're making changes, do you think we could add a purge tab to the page actions? --FeralKitty 01:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


I'll look into it, but you can always purge by adding &action=purge to the query string URL. --Jimmcq 01:57, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

WP's clock gadget, when clicked, will purge the page contents. –xenocidic (talk) 02:28, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

AWB

You think AWB would work here?

The wiki must support the Bot API required by AWB. This means that it should have latest HEAD version of MediaWiki or something close to that. [1]

xenocidic (talk) 16:37, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

what about seperate namespaces?

  • VP = VP:Mousezilla (Common content that may be transcluded onto any or all of the other pages - i.e. description of species)

The main page, being Mousezilla now uses the same layout it does now but transcludes the content from each of the namespaces.

With some CSS settings for the namespaces it should make things a lot easier.

it will also allow people to focus on their particular platform(s) by only seeing the changes on their watchlist for the platforms they are interested in.

let me know what you guys think. –xenocidic (talk) 23:32, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

It got very briefly talked about, a long time ago. I think it's important to keep in mind that VP gamers might not understand those nuances, and if contributors don't know how to edit transcluded content, that's quite the problem. Since it's a game for all ages, the bar should be low enough so that anyone can edit any article here, and add what they know about a species' requirements, what they saw on a TV episode, etc. --FeralKitty (talk) 00:05, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Differentiating between Classic and TiP...
