Wikia Gaming footer
Hello! I went ahead and added a Wikia Gaming footer to the bottom of the Main Page. We're trying to get Wikia's gaming wikis more linked with each other. It's not mandatory, so you can remove it if you really hate it, but it would be appreciated if you didn't :). You can change the links to point to any other wikia wikis you like or cooperate with.

Ah, I say we propose a merger. That is an editthis. This is a wiki. We merge. -- Hellmaker One  02:21, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

You can cotact an administrator in electrosphere.info

Hm... I have an account on that. -- Hellmaker One  16:43, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Logo
Hi, I heard you are in need of logo. Well, I made logos for several wikias, so I have make one for your too :) will try to upload some for you to pick today. SkywalkerPL 12:38, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, so here it is:
 * One on left is for classic skins (eg. Monobook), and that on right is for Quartz skins (if you like it - rename/reupload files as name without "2", eg. Wiki2.png as Wiki.png). Any comments / stuff to me - leave message on my Talk page. I also uploaded new image for F-22 Raptor - it's here - taken from A.C. X cover - one you have isn't best, and that one I used to logo, so I thought you can have some use of bit of my work. SkywalkerPL 13:25, 24 November 2007 (UTC), Homeworld wikia sysop.

Main Page design
Hullo! I'm Kirkburn, a Wikia Gaming Helper, and 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!

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) 14:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Main Page

 * Your featured article needs to be linked to the main page at the top and bottom....
 * Tip of the day has some bad grammar.
 * Any images? At least put one on the main page!
 * See Wikipedia for some good articles... Superweapons of Ace Combat was deleted from there, but the deleting administrator said that he would bring the text back for a "suitable gaming wiki"....that would be you. =) the_ed17...70.224.193.115 18:58, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Same with History of Ace Combat...e-mail the deleting admin and get the deleted text...a lot easier that typing it yourself and it could help you a lot. 70.224.193.115 19:04, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Hm... alright, thanks! Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation for a little bit. Buffalosoldier 92  17:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Main page update
Hullo! I am Kirkburn, your friendly local Wikia Gaming Helper!

Hopefully you have read about the skin and ad changes at Wikia's New Style on Central Wikia. If not, I hope you'll have a look.

One of the changes is a block of two ads on each main page. It's possible that they won't always show up, but to ensure your main page continues to work properly when they do, you need to update your main page column formatting code with new column tags.

I have drafted a main page using the new tags on User:Kirkburn/Dev which I hope you can take a look at - feel free to make a copy and edit it. Though the layout may seem restrictive at first, there really is a fair amount you can do with them - for example see these customized main pages - Muppet Wiki, WoWWiki, FFXIclopedia. You may want to chat with your wiki community about what direction to take with a new main page.

If you encounter any problems with the new tags, please let us know.

My apologies for any inconvenience these changes bring.

Thank you for your time, Kirkburn (talk) 11:54, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I have switched to the new layout. I hope it is to your liking! Kirkburn (talk) 15:15, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Can we merge this Wiki into ours?
I was just looking on the internet and I found this Wiki. Rather than have 2 different wikis that cover the same thing I think it should be merged with ours. Should we do this and if so how?--ShutUpNavi 02:36, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Main Page Polls?
Just curious for adding a poll to the page with questions like- What is your favorite Ace Combat game? What is your favorite aircraft carrier? What is the strongest Superweapon? ...or something like that. Can we try- What is your favorite Ace Combat game? Air Combat Ace Combat 2 Ace Combat 3 Ace Combat 04 Ace Combat 5 Ace Combat 6 Ace Combat X Ace Combat:Advanced ...I'm sure I forgot a game or two...but would it look good? Havoc Reaper 48!! 01:34, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * Uhh, guys... that was meant to be on the main page, not on here to vote... it's been over a month, is it a go or no go? I just wanted to hear some opinions of it being alright for the main page. I have more ideas now, too. Havoc Reaper 48  03:35, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

I would like
I would like to merge my wiki with this one please. here is the URL: http://acecombatsource.wikia.com/wiki/Acecombat_Wiki


 * I've merged the 2 wikis. The page you had there which wasn't here has been added: The Constutution. Angela (talk) 02:31, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

For the Glory of AceWiki
As of now, it has come to my attention that the Wikia has been greatly lacking in some departments, which will be specified below.
 * Several needed articles are non-existant (Ace Combat: Joint Assault & Xi: Skies of Incursion, for example);


 * Some pages are in rather dire need of updating (images, new Featured Article/Image, etc.), and most importantly,


 * There are several Categories either lacking either pages, or that are without any use whatsoever.

What I'm trying to say, is that I have an idea: request support from members of AceCombatSkies and/or Electrosphere.info.

Do we have a go or no go? -- Preceding unsigned comment added by Protostealth (Talk)


 * OK, first of all, sign your comments on any talk page by adding nothing more than ~ at the end of your posts, thank you. Second, this is a wiki, wikis are always under construction and may never seem to be finished, this one just needs more work than others. Lastly, feel free to encourage anyone with knowledge of Ace Combat to contribute to the wiki, just keep in mind of the policies of the wiki, etc. Havoc  Reaper  48  21:04, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Favicon
Hi, admins and whoever passes around. Any wiki worth its salt should have its own unique, and AceWiki sadly lacks one. I have designed two simple icons based on the ADF-01 Falken silhouette, because this plane is so iconic in the series. You can find them on my site. I do not insist that we use my suggestions, though. The problem is more of a technical sort. On most Wikia wikis I know the favicon can be changed by simply reuploading File:Favicon.ico, which is usually only restricted to the wiki admins. However, it doesn't seem to be true for AceWiki: that file didn't even exist before, and I, a non-admin user, was able to upload a new version of it, but it didn't work. I assume that something was screwed up in the wiki settings and we need to ask the Wikia staff to fix it. Such things, however, are better requested by the actual admins of the wiki in question. --Koveras Alvane 21:47, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Koveras, tbh, I would of liked an F-22A Raptor as our "favicon" (or at least have a community vote) but... I'll contact Wikia  Havoc  Reaper  48   22:18, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

The F-22A as the favicon sounds quite nice, although Ace Combat is more known for the ADF-01 FALKEN (which can be considered the most powerful aircraft in modern gaming). Proto  Stealth   23:32, March 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I thought of the Raptor, too, but the few AC forums I've seen constantly had a F-22A vs. Su-37/47 flame war going on, so I didn't want to open that can of worms. Plus, I'm really on the Su-37 side of that argument. ^^ On the other hand, as Protostealth mentioned, Falken is an original plane in the Ace Combat series and it's gathered quite a fame outside of it. --Koveras Alvane 08:25, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: It seems Wikia staff fixed the favicon, but it's still stored under different address than File:Favicon.ico, so I have no idea how to control it from now on... --Koveras Alvane 15:23, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

So, what should we do? Replace the favicon?


 * I dunno, you'll have to contact Wikia again. -__- --Koveras Alvane 07:11, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
