I am aware of the text which is displayed in the edit summary when a user registers, but this is much better. It creates the user's talk page and makes them feel more like they are being welcomed by people. I think it would be awesome if Wars Wiki could have a welcome bot similar to [http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/User:Kirbot WiKirby's]. It could use a [http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Template:Welcome Welcome template], which is constructed and used by the [http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Template:WelcomeTemp template which actually codes it]. When in use, the bot will create the user's talk page automatically when they join, as I said above, as well as other bot things which I myself understand little about. If you decide that Wars Wiki will have a bot like this, please say so and I will try to get a hold of Adam (the NIWA's tech master in my opinion), where he can help you program it. I think Axiomist and Justin also may be able to help too, so it should be easy enough.

::The one on Bulbapedia is good, but the text would need quite a lot of changes until the wiki grows more (there isn't a 'team of staff' just yet, or a userspace policy). The bot works by placing the Welcome template on peoples' talk pages automatically, via a series of templates, hooks and MediaWiki namespace pages. Here's the [http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NewUserMessage MediaWiki site's page] on the extension used, if you want to look into it.

== Main Page Draft == | |||
I'm not sure if there's a reason why this isn't up yet, but any idea when this will be the official main page? Or has this project been scratched? I think it looks great. :] [[User:Dany36|Dany36]] 17:46, 5 August 2010 (PDT) | |||
:Most of the work is now being done here: [[User:KC-Earthshaker/Sandbox]]. It's something of an effort to get what's on this page into a format similar to Bulbapedia's main page. ''That'' will probably become the main page before too long, I think it's just a case of waiting for JoJo's final approval.

::Both look awesome, and they aren't even done yet. :) It is up to you, but I would think that working on the draft of the main page would be eaiser if it had it's own page (as in not in your sandbox). ...You wouldn't have to worry about the coding stored in all the templates and whatnot. <small>[[User:Austin|<span style="color:#00C;">—</span><span style="color:#009;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;font-size:medium">Au</span><span style="color:#006;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;font-size:medium">st</span><span style="color:#003;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;font-size:medium">i</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;font-size:medium">n</span>]]<sup> (NIWA Operative)</sup></small> 21:03, 5 August 2010 (PDT) | |||
:::[[User:KC-Earthshaker/Sandbox|My bit]] is pretty much done. This was the original project, and {{u|Axiomist}} did a decent from-scratch job. I stepped in to help, and dug through the templates on Bulbapedia's Main Page to get the framework, and modified it to suit Wars Wiki. I made a few minor adjustments that JoJo suggested, and it's in something of a post-production phase now. It will probably be moved to Main Page shortly. — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8">'''K'''</sup>]][[User Talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8">'''<small>C</small>'''</span>]] 21:19, 5 August 2010 (PDT) | |||
== How to gain access to adding Images to Pages? == | |||
I want to add new references to a wiki article: [[Game Boy Wars 3]] but I am not allowed to(?). | |||
I'm new to the website and i stumbled upon the wiki and figured it was incomplete. So i added a few more sentences, titles except images. Please help? | |||

:You should be able to do it right now. Are you getting an error? Check out the page [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Images]] on how to add images to pages. You'll need to [[Special:Upload|upload]] them locally. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 15:46, 6 August 2021 (UTC) | |||

== (Talking about Wiki as a whole) Should we add trivia sections? == | |||
I feel as if we're losing the rivalry against the Advance Wars Fandom wiki, and I feel as if adding trivia sections to our Wars Wiki would help make it better. Plus, there are a lot of interesting tidbits about certain characters that might be interesting yet wouldn't fit elsewhere on the article. This is just a suggestion, however. Thanks in Advance, [[User:SamiStan|SamiStan]] ([[User talk:SamiStan|talk]]) 23:23, 6 February 2022 (UTC) | |||
::I'm not sure I would particularly refer to it as a rivalry. I would be much more concerned about getting genuine content onto pages overall. We have a very large amount of pages that contain nothing but a single image and the infobox it is held in. If you can think of genuinely constructive trivia to add to a specific page, have at it, but I would steer clear of trying to shoehorn in that to every page. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 10:26, 7 February 2022 (UTC) | |||

== Re-Boot Camp images == | |||
I notice there is a lack of images from ''Re-Boot Camp'' on this wiki (as well as related CO images from ''AW1'' and ''AW2''). I'm not sure if there is any specific policy about which types of images are allowed to be uploaded, but I do have a growing collection of AWRBC CO, unit, and gallery images here: https://mega.nz/folder/UColBZrZ#6TB5cdwLQb8MjBbhavU5Ng | |||
The CO images were uploaded to the Fandom wiki, though some of them had to be photoshopped out of the gallery wallpapers (I especially need a better image of Jess without the overlaying circle effects). I'm also still getting the unit images of Green Earth, Gold Comet, and Black Hole. - [[User:JFX|JFX]] ([[User talk:JFX|talk]]) 14:08, 29 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
::Wow! These look good to me. Thank you for this resource! I can upload them if you would like, or you should be able to as well using [[Special:Upload]]. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 18:41, 30 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
:::I do not have permission to upload images, or create new pages for the matter, so I guess you can upload the files to the wiki. - [[User:JFX|JFX]] ([[User talk:JFX|talk]]) 03:33, 31 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
