VE Withdraws from The Initiative.

Uh, this is in the news. VE withdrew from The initiative. Can someone add it to the news section?

You can add stuff yourself, its a wiki. However, I added this for you. :P - Zikawe 05:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought you can't edit the main page? Vandalists in all?

No you can its templates, if you want to edit it just go to the source, and select the template you need to change. News CSS in this case. - Zikawe 07:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Right... we allow the news template to be edited, but the main page itself is protected. There's no edit link to ward off vandals, but the page is editable... template:news_css. - Alphacow talk 01:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

SWF - News

I added the SWF disbandment to the news...I have been adding most of the news. I hope thats ok, I dont know if you guys have some special person that does that here.

Smithy: I'll add some news if I can get to it first. Sometimes I'm beaten to it.

Sorry for the delay in replying. It seems that I'm the only admin around these days, and I don't do any news stuff; I stick to maintaining the wiki. Please continue updating that section... thanks for taking care of that! - Alphacow talk 01:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I check by about once a day as well. But I really only skim the recent changes, not too much else. Feel free to add to the news items as you see fit. J Andres 03:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Regisration

Do you think that Registration being back-up deserves a spot on the front page? 67.172.125.216 14:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Might as well, but we'll have to monitor it and remove it when its off again. - Alphacow talk 15:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

NPO-ABP War

I started a wiki on it. The Alaskan Folly. It just ended BTW. ~Chaosman

Feel free to add that info to the news template. Thanks! -- Alphacow talk 12:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikia Gaming footer

Would it be possible for you to add the following footer to the Main Page?

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 02:38, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

NpO (not NPO) against Genmay. Why is it there anyway?

The NpO vs Genmay news, in the GW4 context, was messed up and not on top of the GW4 news itself.
I amended the p-P mistake and the news order in the template, but I doubt the news itself should stay there (why not all the other DoWs and wars, then?)
If nobody objects, I think I will delete that line and/or move the news in the GW4 page; or, anybody could do it. --Jerdge 14:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Speaking both for myself and as one of the wiki admins, I really don't follow the alliance politics, but I agree with you that the NpO-Genmay war is a part of the GW4. Feel free to modify as you see fit. - Alphacow talk 14:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Done. Thanks for feedback. --Jerdge 16:04, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

UJP Surrenders to FAN

http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=1071&st=0

Mods thought it was a joke thread, but that has been removed as both sides: FAN and UJP, have recognized an end to hostilities.

bottom-post, everyone!

Please, everyone, follow wiki posting conventions and add your topic at the end of the page. Adding things at the top may result in your comment being missed. -- Alphacow talk 14:08, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Fourth Great War, not Unjust War

I dont care if theres a so called majority of kids who dont know the definition of a world war. But this IS the fourth great war... you can give it the nickname being the Unjust War but this is a global conflict. I demand satisfaction change the name to fourth great war!

Spot light Box

I think there should be an a box that spotlights articles on alliances. Like the featured article page on other wikis -Somedude who didn't sign his comment

We have done it in the past but the upkeep is more work than it is worth and alot of alliances have bad pages anyway. J Andres 01:27, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

It might convince some to make them look better because we would choose ones that look good. --Gabriel Carver 01:46, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

The problem we had in the past was the submitting and choosing. People didn't submit articles, and when they did we didn't review them well. It takes a couple committed people to run something like that, and we don't have that here now. If you think you can muster some of your friends to do it, by all means start it up again. Let us know. -- Alphacow talk 17:13, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

There has been a lot of vandalism because of recent events.

Today I saw the Nov flag changed numerous times and the GOON article I also see vandalism in. I think editing of articles of alliances or relating to this war needs to be turned off to the public until the war is over. --Gabriel Carver 01:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
