New skin to Main Page
Hi, I can change skin of Main Page to this (css is in my own css)? Of course, including translation. This skin is using on German archeage wiki too. Greetings, -- Rycerzodie (talk) 10:22, 13 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello! I was actually about to ask you about reusing that page when I noticed your message, but I didn't realize it was from another wiki... Are you by chance in touch with the German wiki? I feel like we should probably ask them if it is alright to use their layout, even if the CC licensing technically already says as much. If we were just translating content or whatnot I wouldn't worry as much, but skins and layouts and such are a bit more IP than facts about the game. --Sigilbaram (talk) 18:32, 16 July 2013 (UTC)


 * German wiki probably have this skin from Guild Wars 2 wiki. But OK, I will ask admins from german wiki/guild wars 2 wiki. -- Rycerzodie (talk) 19:25, 16 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Can you add (or change exists) css codes, from my own css, in Common.css and others official css (without mainpage classes for now)? There contains fixed for some elements on wiki for example to diff comparison, and some classes to tables (e.g. Crafting, Gliders). -- Rycerzodie (talk) 19:46, 16 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I added your css to MediaWiki:Hydra.css and MediaWiki:Common.css. That's a nice style on the diff pages. XD


 * The only issue I see is that on lower resolutions the pictures on either side of the mainpage layout get pushed under the table and at really high resolutions there is a lot of white space on either side.--Sigilbaram (talk) 20:10, 16 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I was thinking about it - maybe try give there some contept art? -- Rycerzodie (talk) 20:30, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm fiddling around with the html/css some to see if there is a better way to get that effect, while having it scale better. --Sigilbaram (talk) 20:32, 16 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Or main table can have max-width and min-width with margin on left and right.
 * Talking about using this skin here. -- Rycerzodie (talk) 20:40, 16 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm don't know much about licencses, so please read this. -- Rycerzodie (talk) 09:17, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

This wiki have option multiple sending files? I have a lot of icons to send (e.g. 46 for emotes). If yes, you can add me to group, which have this privileges (easy, I'm admin on polish subdomain of Runes of Magic wiki) or you can send it if I give you it? -- Rycerzodie (talk) 21:19, 16 July 2013 (UTC)


 * The "Drop files here" at the top of the edit section is the closest we have, but it doesn't let you rename the files or categorize them, or anything really, so it's horrible from an organizational standpoint, but if you aren't renaming the files and aren't OCD about categorizing everything it "works". --Sigilbaram (talk) 15:47, 17 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, so great. I must save it icons in JPG from DDS, so I will give they final names. But now I improvement template ;) -- Rycerzodie (talk) 16:11, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

So, given the licensing issue it would probably be better if we just made a new main page. Our license is different from GW2 Wiki and some people can get REALLY zealous about those legalese things, so I'll put something else together to avoid any possible headaches. --Sigilbaram (talk) 16:22, 17 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I asked them "This can look like this (normal wikitable and 2 or 3 style in page [not identical], and other class name)? Or it must have other layout too?", but still I don't have answer ;/ -- Rycerzodie (talk) 16:58, 17 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I did a new skin for the mainpage table. It is similar, but uses themes from our wiki's skin instead of the background imageand stuff from the guildwars mainpage and I basically did the CSS from scratch although it might look similar, I didn't really compare the code afterwards *shruge*. I also translated it somewhat, but it's google with some interpretation so it probably isn't perfect on some of the things. Oh and I got new images for the characters on either side from the official site. There is less pixelation around the edges and they seemed to have redesigned the female elf. I also moved it over to the main page from my sandbox so that there is at least something there for now. --Sigilbaram (talk) 20:42, 17 July 2013 (UTC)


 * OK, I will check translation. But maybe change minor table? You can try it by copy my own css and changing {| class="mainpage" style="margin: 0;" width="100%" to {| id="mainpagesite" width="100%" class="wikitable wikitable2" (or alternative - screenshot on big version [old]). -- Rycerzodie (talk) 21:15, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Someone from head admins should upload this favicon "img0.archeage.com/resources-201307170952/images/favicon.ico" (anti-spam...) to main folder of wiki and correct wiki name to "ArcheAge Wiki". Can you ask someone like Wynthyst about Polish subdomain? Working will be easier to me (of course, I will be contributing to English wiki too). If anyone from they will be ask about article, say they something like this: "Now Rycerzodie creating a lot of information box e.g. about mobs and creating templates to this. He planing created a lot of articles about game (he want cooperate with the best Polish fan site about ArcheAge).". I will be very happy, if you can transfer this questions/ideas to head admins ;) -- Rycerzodie (talk) 00:04, 18 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I uploaded the favicon. Curse has set up the wikis so that you just upload them like any other file named "favicon.ico". I also gave you admin rights so that you can edit protected pages and delete things and such. I asked about the subdomain before and was told it was mostly my call since I'm in charge of ArcheAge Wiki, so if there are other people interested it seems worth it and I'll look into getting that set up. I also passed along a request for the sitename to be corrected. --Sigilbaram (talk) 18:28, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Private matter
Can you ask peoples from curseforge about implementation time payment to PayPal? I'm waiting for 6 days for 100$ :> (Order #8566). -- (Administrator) - Rycerzodie (talk) 19:45, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Polish subdomain
Are you created polish subdomain? If yes, you can add me admin, and I will help you during 40 minutes (then I will have talk with the best Polish fan-site ArcheAge on TeamSpeak3 . We currently don't reach agreement ;> -- (Administrator) - Rycerzodie (talk) 20:15, 18 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I gave you admin permission on the polish subdomain. I'll export the polish category and the skin and stuff and upload them over there for you. --Sigilbaram (talk) 01:28, 19 July 2013 (UTC)


 * ==> When created Polish subdomain of Runes of Magic, Wynthyst import to it all images, probably with command line or manualy by ftp, can you ask him about that? -- (Administrator) - Rycerzodie (talk) 10:28, 19 July 2013 (UTC) <==


 * Sorry. I asked the server team to do this, but forgot to let you know. Looks like they didn't get to it yesterday, but hopefull they'll have it done when they get back from the weekend. --Sigilbaram (talk) 15:28, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Translating extensions
Hi, recently your team added a lot of special extensions (available only to Gamepedia wikis), but it all are in English only. I would see it in Polish, but manual translating on special page takes a lot of time (AA wiki EN, AA wiki PL, RoM wiki PL). I was writing to curse support, but I did not get a specific answer. You are administrator, so maybe you can answer me to that suggestion? Greetings, -- (Administrator) - Rycerzodie (talk) 20:56, 5 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh so that was you. Sorry if no one got back to you. We discussed your email some. The website you suggested only takes open source projects, and the Gamepedia extensions unfortunately are not open source. We're having a lot of discussions about how to centralize some of this stuff, like Help files and system messages. I'll bring it up with the team again and see if there is something we can do with your translations in the meantime. --Sigilbaram (talk) 00:29, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Admin

References / Spam
Is it possible to loosen the spam filter for the Admins? Anything that is linked to over 1-2 times is flagged as spam. It's making it very hard to cite things properly.

Mtm0860 (talk) 12:14, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll look at the spam filters. I don't think they should be triggering on you since you are an established user. --Sigilbaram (talk) 15:23, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Did it say anything about which filter you triggered? And where you logged in? I don't see you listed in the abuse filter logs. --Sigilbaram (talk) 15:34, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Not really. Just Spam Protection Filter This website is not here to help you promote your site in search engine rankings. Going around wiki sites like this and adding irrelevant messages with links is called 'wiki spamming.' It is thoroughly anti-social, wrong, and may be illegal.

The following text is what triggered our spam filter: [XL Games Webisite] - Mtm0860 (talk) 19:52, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
 * It looks like this might be the SpamBlacklist extension, which we don't really use anymore. I commented out the filters it had. Let me know if that fixes you're problem. --Sigilbaram (talk) 20:58, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Icons
Rycerzodie gave me an icon pack a while back. I've converted them all from .dds to png. I just got an Alpha invite so I can start sorting and renaming them properly. I'll try to have most of the non-item ones done today. - Mtm0860 (talk) 04:51, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
