From No More Heroes Wiki

Hi Vixen Windstorm -- we are excited to have No More Heroes Wiki as part of the Wikia community!

Starting a new wiki can be overwhelming, but don't worry, the Wikia Community Team is here to help! We have put together a few guides to getting started. They say imitation is the best form of flattery so absolutely check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, ways to organize your content, etc. We are all one big family at Wikia and the most important thing is to have fun!

  • Our guide to Getting Started gives you 5 things you can do right now to set your wiki up for success
  • We also put together some Advice On Starting a Wiki which provides a more a in-depth look at some of the important things you should consider when building a wiki
  • If you are new to wikis in general than we recommend checking our new user FAQ

If you need help (which trust me we ALL do) you can access our full in-depth help at Help Wikia, or email us through our contact form. Also, you can visit our live #wikia chat channel any time. A lot of the veteran "Wikians" hang out here so its a good place if come if you want to get some advice or simply make friends.

Now, go edit! We look forward to seeing this project thrive!

Best wishes, Catherine Munro @Wikia

[edit] Greetings!

I'm PanSola, a helper on Wikia Gaming stuff. I want to cheer you on for having started a new gaming-related wiki, and see if there is anything I can help a fellow Wikian with. I have been an admin on the GuildWiki for quite a while, and have hung around a number of different wikis. So if you need help with any thing, don't hesitate to ask!

Some stuff of note:

  • Logo - For the quartz skins (default skin that most people sees) and monaco skins (newest skin in development) you can upload a 266 x 75 pixels image to File:Wiki wide.png.
  • There is a Wikia gaming IRC channel, #wikia-gaming, where you can hop on, ask for help from users of other gaming wikis, or offer your own experiences. You can access it from http://irc.wikia.com/gaming . Different people may be on sporadically (if you randomly hop on, chances are it make take 10 minutes or so for somebody notice), but I'm organizing weekly chats at a fixed time so we can get the most number of people online at the same time to ask/answer questions, or just to hang out. The admins of some of Wikia's biggest gaming wikis (WoW, Halo) often attend them. You can find the time for the next chat by following this link.

    If you happen to be technologically-adventurous, I can also help you with handy tools that can enrich the formatting and organization of the wiki such as templates, parser functions, and various MediaWiki extensions.

    Again, if you have any question for anything at all, don't hesitate to ask me! -User:PanSola(talk/history) 18:57, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

    [edit] Category names

    I noticed you have category names such as "Category:List of weapons in No More Heroes" and "Category:Characters in No More Heroes" etc. Since this is the No More Heroes Wiki, isn't it kind of redundent? I would advocate simply naming the categories as "Weapons" and "Characters" for simplicity/brevity. -User:PanSola(talk/history) 00:20, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

    True. Though maybe "Category:No More Heroes 2 Characters" would be a slightly shorter alternative? d-: -User:PanSola(talk/history) 00:37, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

    [edit] sub-categorizing

    Heya, just dropping by again to check on how you are doing (-: Individual categories themselves can be sub-categories of other categories, and I highly encourage you to sub-categorize most of your categories to help with organization of the site. A cached list of uncategorized categories can be found here. Let me know if you have any questions!!! -User:PanSola(talk/history) 02:30, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

    [edit] Monaco skin

    Hi again! I'm wondering if you have checked out the Monaco skin. Some of the features include:

    • a float-out sidebar menu system (customized via MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar
    • various widgets of different features (one of my favorite is the widget that shows a list of who recently edited a particular article... though that might not be very useful on this wiki yet)

    Please give the skin a try, and let me know if you have any feedback! -User:PanSola(talk/history) 20:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

    [edit] Need some help...

    I updated and added information on the Dr Peace album, however I have no clue how to make it show up on that little box on the bottom that says 'No More Heroes series'. Any help?
