It is! I'm thinking that soon we can start improving the apearance. Some people have already added pictures of their characters. We can get a picture of every character and of each location, and perhaps even group pictures of each guild, etc.. The title of the site should look better as well.
-Richeron
Indeed. Tables at the characters and guilds. I saw the alphabet list, it's getting better and better!
You mean in the character list for example? Putting the horde and the alliance side by side? I think that was an excellent idea. Makes it's use much simpler.
- Richeron
If any of you have something against my trend to format the list pages into tables, tell me
Nice to see the page has been growing nicely without me. If anyone finds trolling tell me. I shall investigate and if I find out whodunnit, there shall be blood!

Woot! Go us!

Changed Image Bar
Hopefully We can add played characters to this bar, would have added Rothbane and Delphine but just settled with Aurélie instead. as I didn't just want humans and undead on the bar... ~SpookyBob~
That is brilliant! How did you do it? - Richeron
Photoshop CS. Took a screen shot of the character selection screen. Then cut round the character and stuck it to a background... Am hoping that if everyone manages to get a decent picture of their characters up, then we could have realm pictures up instead of level 0's. Which is what I used. ~SpookyBob~
Ooh. I have a dwarf in the militia! - Richeron
I will add hi to the banner when I get a spare half hour. ~SpookyBob~
Richeron Just sorted out your crest thing.
Tried to sort out the colours for you, don't know if i got it right thou? Its a bit pale but couldn't figure out what else i could have done without losing the detail inside... Have kept the image just in case i can modify it more...
~SpookyBob~
- *Jaw drops* It may have lost colour, but it looks great! What tools did you use? - Richeron
just used different colours on about 50% opacity and used the blending options to add the detail to it. ~SpookyBob~
Rich
Have I been made a moderator, or something? as I now have a load more extra do hickeys at the top of my screen?. Also People, I'm still waiting for more pictures of characters for the new banner. Best Pictures are taken from the character select screen! I will add a temporary page for people to post there pictures onto. the more the merrier. Please note after a couple of weeks the page will be deleted. ~SpookyBob~
Congratulations! You are indeed a moderator! Or rather a sysop. You deserve it.
Cheers buddy. Thanks will try not abuse my new godly powers. (insert evil laugh here)... Thanks again.. ~SpookyBob~
Rich, im afraid I don't play wow on this server anymore, I would like to thank yourself and all the other RPers who made the realm so great for me. You may wish to take me off Sysop. I will pop back now and then to see how this is progressing. Keep up the good work guys! ~SpookyBob~ AKA Craig Clarke

Adding 'Steamwheedle Cartel Wiki' Level 1 Heading
I've not just added this randomly :P It's there for Google to pick up on and influence the result of the google search 'Steamwheedle Cartel Wiki', which still has the old wiki first.
- Etris
Oh, I see. That's a pity, since the old wiki isn't even accessible anymore.
- Richeron
All is well now - first result is wowwiki and then this one. Really 'Steamwheedle Cartel Wiki' ought to be in the title too if a lot of people are searching for it.
- Etris
What the heck's happened to the layout of the main page? It looks horrible.
--Elizabetha 15:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
You mean the actual page itself or the things around with the navigation bar and all that?
-- Richeron
That awful yellow line and how the navigation bars have been remade into something silly. That affects the whole page. =P
--Elizabetha 21:49, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I detest it too. It's the wikia skin, and it's pretty lousy. Look for an almost invisible link near the top right corner saying "Return to monobook skin" or something like that. If there is no such thing then follow the following link: [1]

I really like the Wiki and the way its going. I like how its completetly open to change certain things in a page and not being stuck in a prefab you really need to use for your profile to show up. I did had one idea though that might help make a page look more...well..like WoWWiki's Lore Characters. On the Sporeggar Wiki (my old realm) they give the option to make a table on the right side of the screen. Let me explain by giving a link to the code page there and you see how it looks on the right side of the screen.

What do you guys think? I think it looks rather nice and could deliver a better overview of one's character.
I think it's a pretty good idea. There is already one character page with such a table: Roudfus (based on one Merwyn used), but I never implemented it on the template because people already have terrible difficulty using basic wiki text. Introducing tables might be too hard for them. But I do think it looks nice.
