[edit] Is GaiaOnline down?
I'm having trouble naviagating to Gaia Online. Is the site down or something?--24.172.195.239 16:08, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- GaiaOnline goes up and down all the time. And sometimes people just can't get to it. That's not the kind of question which could or would be answered here. ~Dantman(talk) Apr 11, 2007 @ 18:21 (UTC)
- To be fair, it's happening alot less recently. ^_^131.7.52.17
- Of course, though it's better not to say so that people don't get the false idea that it's ok to ask pointless questions like that in the encyclopedia. ~Dantman(talk) Apr 11, 2007 @ 22:36 (UTC)
[edit] Please clarify
Please state at the top of this page that it's about the game - otherwise people might assume it's about the environmental concept/philosophy by James Lovelock, and get confused. --Singkong2005 05:09, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- That was kinda already there. But I moved the information line up and changed the intro a bit. But looking at the logo, the mention of items and characters on the side, and the line about gaia online already being in the main text, not to mention the entire layout, it's pretty obvious that it's not about the environmental theory. Plus that is already stated on the into page which directs people here. Dantman (Talk) 06:44, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Weird graphical error
This seems to appear on all pages with categories on IE7, at least on my computer. The category bar hits the middle of the page, rather than the bottom of the article. --Imaginationac 20:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- That's a css issue. In changing the site layout one of the changes made was to move the sidebar over so that it would become more like part of the content of the page instead of a foreign object. Because it was moved over and styled so that it would fit in the content area. The content area of the page had to be altered so that even on small articles the height of the box never went so small that the bottom of it was above the bottom of the sidebar creating a distasteful look of a sidebar trying to merge with the air. In doing this the category box also needed a styling which would cause it to always be at the bottom of the page or else there would be a large white area between the category box and the bottom of the content. Unfortunately, IE is non-standards compliant in most cases and never follows along with what other browsers do so it wont work under any case, the css is actually fine but IE doesn't follow it.

[edit] Wikia Gaming footer
Would it be possible for you to add the following footer to the Main Page?

Other gaming wikis from Wikia |
We're trying to get Wikia's gaming wikis more linked with each other. It's not mandatory, but it would be appreciated :). You can change the links to point to any other gaming wikias you like or cooperate with. Ausir 15:38, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Protection
Hello! I am Kirkburn, a Wikia Gaming Helper, and I have a suggestion to make about the Main Page. It might be a good idea to reduce the protection level to registered users only. Wikia protection policy suggests that you should only protect a page if it's being actively vandalised, otherwise it can do more harm than good. Kirkburn (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I know. Unfortunately the Gaiapedia is often vandalized and the vandals have a tendency to add disturbing images to the Main Page. All the content areas of the main page are transcluded so the Main Page is still editable. ~Dantman(talk) Feb 4, 2008 @ 01:26 (UTC)
[edit] The Gaiapedia
Don't you think the this page be moved to The Gaiapedia? You guys do have an intention of adding the at the beginning. ~Kakashi Namikaze (talk) 19:00, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Main page layout update
Hullo! I am Kirkburn, your friendly local Wikia Gaming Helper!
Hopefully you have read about the skin and ad changes at Wikia's New Style on Central Wikia. If not, I hope you'll have a look.
One of the changes is a block of two ads on each main page. It's possible that they won't always show up, but to ensure your main page continues to work properly when they do, you need to update your main page column formatting code with new column tags.
I have drafted a main page using the new tags on User:Kirkburn/Dev which I hope you can take a look at - feel free to make a copy and edit it. As part of the draft, I have gone through the code to make it a bit cleaner and easier to read. Though the layout may seem restrictive at first, there really is a fair amount you can do with them - for example see these customized main pages - Muppet Wiki, WoWWiki, FFXIclopedia. You may want to chat with your wiki community about what direction to take with a new main page.
If you encounter any problems with the new tags, please let us know.
I might also suggest reducing the protection level of the page down to registered users only - this still requires a four day old account, and allows for a bit more frequent updating of the content.
My apologies for any inconvenience these changes bring.
Thank you for your time, Kirkburn (talk) 15:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
- I have pretty much no knowledge of styling pages so I just copied all that and removed the text from the ad space... *hopes it works* x__x Q Cumba FX 19:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Moved things to templates & Main Page update
Hey guys, I moved some of the things on the Main Page to the template namespace. The Main Page looks odd when you have your computer's resolution set to 1024xwhatever so I'll see if I can fix this.--Richardtalk 17:02, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
