[edit] Suggestions
Here is a list of things I feel that would be best for your wiki:
- Do encorage competition. This means do have a User of the month, week, year, etc. It will encourage more productivity to your site, as it needs polish and substance.
- To start off with have strict policies when it comes to vandalism, disputes, etc. High amounts of vandalism and disputes can hurt a young wiki. I was a part off a wiki that failed because of to much vandalism and because there was a major dispute. "It is easy to kill the lion while it is still young."
- Block a vandal without any warnings. That is what they do at wiktionary and they do not have much vandalism there.
- Have a "Ignore all rules" policy like wikipedia's. This is important to have.
- Do not have a leadership. Make the entire community run the project.
- Make the policies easy to change if there is something in them that is not working out.
- If I can think of anything else I will make sure to put it down. Peace:) --Sir James Paul 16:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I would like to follow up on the above - I heartily agree with most of it. Don't have so much concentration of power - it can be rather intimidating to be told that others have ultimate power over you, when, in reality, they don't (or shouldn't). Regarding blocking vandals without warnings - only for malicious vandals. Finally, the Main Page absolutely needs navigation links! Kirkburn (talk) 15:32, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] An idea
I looked at halopedia and they have this point system were u get points for editing. Maybe that is a good idea for gearspedia to get more edits. - electrobolt14395
[edit] New main page
Hi! I've made a new version of this wiki's main page: Main Page/New. How do you like it? Any suggestions for further changes? Does anyone mind moving it to Main Page? Ausir 16:33, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

- Sure, do whatever you want with it :). Ausir 23:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
I've given the Main Page a complete (and desperately needed) revamp based upon http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page ... I didn't use the other design as it would need another overhaul for the other change I made - the default skin for the site should now be the Gaming skin :) Kirkburn (talk) 17:06, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] blocked user?
wanted to make sure but user62.171.198.36 keeps vandalising this wikia's pages. Basically, he's in a desperate need of a blocking. Aparently this is something only Admins can do so i wanted to bring it to ur attention b4 it got way too out of hand.--Maverick King 20:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Thnx, must of missed him. Darth tader,Talk to me, 04:19, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] INTERESTING: A LOCUST DRAGON???
In the first unreal engine 3 technology demonstration, there was a creature with wings, arms, and legs, a harness, and a eyepiece not unlike a brumak's. A.K.A, IT WAS A DRAGON. get a still of the video and make a new article.
Maybe its an early version of the reaver? I will look for it on youtube. - electrobolt14395
[edit] FFXI
I'm sure you've noticed this, but some of your pages have the FFXIpedia logo instead of the GoW wikia one. Just thought I'd let you know.
- This was a Wikia bug as far as I know - should be fixed. Kirkburn (talk) 17:06, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
I think its this vandle named unbouned nexus switching the logos. He is from the FFwiki. You should just ban him. - electrobolt14395 November 23 2007
[edit] Project namespace
I've noticed that several pages are using the "Gearspedia" pseudo-namespce, rather than the project "Gears of War" namespace (e.g. Gearspedia:About, when the correct location is Gears of War:About). I can request the server change if it is wanted, else the Gearspedia pages, really should be moved back to their correct location. Hope my other changes on the wiki are not too annoying - I'm doing a fair bit of cleanup and tidying. Kirkburn (talk) 18:58, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] False Messiah
We just had a pompous prick on FFwiki announce total internet domination and demanded he be given admin rights. Heads up, he could be here next. His name is Unbound Nexus and don't even bother talking to him. Just ban him. Thanks --Maverick King 01:36, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New design
Hullo! I just gave the main page a bit of a revamp - you can find out more about why on User talk:Kirkburn/Dev. Thanks! Kirkburn (talk) 14:01, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
