Wikia Gaming
I have designed the alternative logo that fits better with this wiki Sega-Sonic 18:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

More users
I'm going to put links to this site on sega related forums where it is allowed, hopefully this will bring more users. Sega-Sonic 18:50, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Monaco skin
Hullo! I am Kirkburn, your friendly local Wikia Gaming Helper!

I've just set your site to default to a Monaco skin (slate in this case) - this is the new Wikia default skin, and is now the main actively developed Wikia platform. As a sucessor to Quartz, it comes with even more customizability - you can find out more on w:c:inside:Monaco Skin Customization, where you can also find out info about the widgets available.

An admin can set the default site skin via the skin section on Special:Preferences, or by editing MediaWiki:AdminSkin. If users wish to see another skin than the default, they can untick "See custom wiki skins (recommended)" on the same page. Kirkburn (talk) 17:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Main Page design
I have a suggestion to make regarding the Main Page. You may be interested in stealing some code from the Wikia Starter wiki which is the current new wiki base design. It makes content a bit easier to add and is easily expanded. Keep up the great work! Kirkburn (talk) 18:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikia Gaming IRC channel
Hullo! I am Kirkburn, your friendly local Wikia Gaming Helper!

You may be interested to know there is a Wikia gaming IRC channel, #wikia-gaming on chat.freenode.net, where you can hop on, ask for help from users of other gaming wikis, or offer your own experiences. If you are not familiar with IRC clients, you can access it from http://irc.wikia.com/gaming.

Different people may be on sporadically, but we organize weekly chats at a fixed time so we can get the most number of people online at the same time to ask and answer questions, or just to hang out. The admins of some of Wikia's biggest gaming wikis (e.g. WoW, Halo) often attend them. You can find the time for the next chat by following this link.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me! Kirkburn (talk) 11:06, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Shorten the page
I think the right section is way to big. Especially this part:


 * For those familiar with Wikipedia, we'd like to take a minute to explain what our purpose is. Unlike Wikipedia, this wiki is designed for any :character, any game, anything about Sega on their own page, instead of being on in a list or having a small blurb. If you want to add a little :to a page on Tails or Knuckles, or create a page on one of the drivers from Crazy Taxi, you are free to do that on this wiki.

I think it could be shortened down a little, or split. Sega-Sonic 17:50, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah I think it can be shortened. I did notice it was a little long. Wikada - Talk Contributions 21:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Featured media

 * The featured media I chose was Sonics.JPG, because it was used a lot during the beginning of the wiki and is one of our finer pictures. I decided to pick one purely because we needed a placeholder, so that will be our featured media for a while, until we get some sort of featured media thread going on in the forums. Wikada - Talk Contributions 22:41, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it really is one of the finer images. Remember the old Main Page Marquee...that one had borders around the images...Wow, that's long ago, tough. We've really been here quite a long time Sega-Sonic 18:15, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep that was there for a long time... I think the title in the Sega consoles and handhelds templates were supposed to be based off the marquee. I really can't wait for the day when there's more than a few people editing each week. Wikada  ( Talk ) 18:38, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Portals section on the main page
Can't understand, why do you use imagetag there. Isn't it better and simpler to just insert image and link it using usual MediaWiki Syntax? NeKit 21:50, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Can the Sonic Fan Comics Wiki and the Sega Wiki be affiliates? --Sapphire The Foxcoon 20:42, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
