Talk:Main Page
I still like my suggestion to have the Main Page's talk be just a list of little helpful bits for new (and old) contributors, since wiki syntax is relatively arcane =)

At the least clear out all the old comments and just leave the link to here, hehe. Just my 2cp. --Lordebon 19:29, 13 November 2006 (CET)


 * Don't know who cleared the old junk, but thanks =) --Lordebon 23:26, 13 November 2006 (CET)


 * Me. It wasn't serving a useful purpose and much of the information was flat out incorrect at this point, given the changes we've made to the site over the last year.--Kodia 06:59, 14 November 2006 (CET)
 * Well thank you much =) --Lordebon 17:24, 14 November 2006 (CET)

I just wanted to make the suggestion of adding the link Category:Character Race to the main page. Thanks =) --Lunai 10:10, 22 November 2006 (EST)
 * Good idea. Let me see what I can do to rearrange things a little and make it fit.--Kodia 18:01, 22 November 2006 (CET)
 * You should see the new category in the quick-link list at the top of the page.--Kodia 18:11, 22 November 2006 (CET)

Question: Is it necessary to transclude this to the locked main_page talk? I think folks might get confused, especially if they don't have a CS background and don't know what "Transclude" means ;) --Lordebon 19:36, 27 November 2006 (CET)
 * LOL sorry, transclude is standard shop talk on Wikipedia. I did not even think about it. I will change the wording. --Florence Sopher of Lucan D'Lere (talk/contribs) 19:43, 27 November 2006 (CET)
 * /grin Oh I know it's standard wiki-talk, hehe. I just meant is it necessary do have it done at all on Talk:Main Page, in that folks might get confused that they're unable to edit it there. --Lordebon 17:42, 29 November 2006 (CET)

Editing
How do you make strikethrough text?

use this to strike text out --Florence Sopher of Lucan D'Lere (talk/contribs) 22:54, 29 November 2006 (CET)
 * To make that easier to see, use HTML style tags with "strike" -- striked-text --Lordebon 20:30, 7 December 2006 (CET)

Main Page Theme
Has the Main Page Theme been changed on purpose?

I don't particularly care for it, especially since its different from every other page. --Lordebon 20:30, 7 December 2006 (CET)

Oh, and the Main Page is also giving this error at the very bottom:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function randomArticles in /var/www/eq2i.com/docs/includes/Skin.php on line 668

--Lordebon 20:31, 7 December 2006 (CET)

What teh hell
I have no idea what's up with the main page. I bet some error occured & it got cached.

Top Banner
OK, is this little bit at the top still necessary? It also seems to have a closing comment tag randomly...

"We're experiencing some performance issues right now. Ewil is looking into it :-) -->"

 * Thanks Ewil. Oh, and silly Admin... editing the transducted, locked page instead of the actual talk page ;) *Recalls thinking transduction would be confusing... ;)* --Lordebon 01:22, 14 December 2006 (CET)


 * only to admins who CAN edit it :) --Florence Sopher of Lucan D'Lere (talk/contribs) 22:48, 14 December 2006 (CET)

Candy Cane Grab-n-Tag
There is now a pretty good write up for it, so perhaps the "Need a full write-up on the rules and steps of the game" descriptor should be changed. --Lordebon 18:26, 5 January 2007 (CET)

Freeport Betrayal
I needed to get into Haven so I could check the map before pushing it live on eq2maps (run your EQ2Map Updater...you DO use EQ2Maps, don't you?), so I ran a character through the Freeport Betrayal quest series, and updated the pages here. There betrayal/sabotage pages still need more work. One change I think is needed is to split the pages into separate betrayal and sabotage pages/timelines. It is possible to betray a city, then repair the faction with that city, so a user might need to know about Freeport betrayal, but then continue on to do the sabotage quests in Antonica to repair their Freeport faction. --Ss 13:55, 15 January 2007 (CET)
 * That's definitely an option. These pages started out as merely the sabotage pages because the sabotage was very separate from betrayal originally. Now that betrayal has changed and we've finally got information all in one place, let's see what we can work out.--Kodia 19:21, 15 January 2007 (CET)
