Welcome
Hi, welcome to Highschool of the Dead Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Highschool of the Dead Wiki page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Turambar1 (Talk) 19:47, October 22, 2010

Hey I was in the process of moving Supporting Character pages over that I had already said I was moving, but you had already moved them. Could you please at least tell me before you do that next time so I don't have to waste time? Thanks. Also you didn't transfer with page histories so they will all have to be redone. I'll take care of them. I don't mean to start off sounding rude, but this is why we had the discussion on the other page.Turambar1 20:11, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

I would suggest using Monaco until it's gone for good. It's for the best since we have a lot to do over the next few days and it will be easier to work in the skin we are used to. Importing those pages wouldn't have been so bad if you had moved the histories. I left a message telling you this on the discussion page, but I guess you didn't see it. Deleting and re-importing all of the pages you originally posted wasn't exactly fun, but it's fixed now. We really need to start moving images now, so you can go read my post on the old discussion page for instructions. It's probably too big of a job for me to do by myself, but I'll see what I can get done tonight.Turambar1 23:51, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

THE RANGERS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! That being said, I'll probably get most of the images done tonight, or at least the ones whose pages were already imported. In case I don't, all you have to do is save on your computer a pic from the Images category page on the old wiki, click on the corresponding image link here on the image category page, click upload, add the image file(leave the name the same) and upload, on the warning page, click the one that says "save anyway," and your done. The uncategorized images can just be saved and uploaded the normal way. If your going to move any tonight, start at the bottom(last image) as I am working my way down from the top.Turambar1 03:21, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed I did. Also fixed the navigation bar on the new skin. Are you able to see the theme designer yet?(you have to be on new skin) I still can't use it. I think it's probably a Wikia issue, but I need to make sure.Turambar1 03:09, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hey I don't want to sound like a dick, but could you not start that editing by sections thing again? The page histories are already ridiculously huge, and that won't be helping. Besides, you need to set an example now that you are an admin.Turambar1 03:14, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah it looks fine. The theme designer is one of the first tabs on your My Tools at the bottom of your page on the new skin.Turambar1 03:20, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Okay I was able to fix the theme. It turns out you can't use the theme designer with IE(at least not on my computer), so I had to use Firefox. Let me know if you think anything should be changed. I never really liked the orange on the old wiki so I changed to red. That's really the only major difference. I also added a favicon so let me know if you like that, and we can change it if you want. Finally, I posted messages on the old wiki announcing the new home, so feel free to add to them if you want. I'm going to post on all of the other HOTD wikis to see if their commuties will join with ours.Turambar1 05:18, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Favicon isn't a wikia term, it's a general term for the icon next to the web address. I believe it's short for "favorite icon," meaning the icon which appears next to a site in your "favorites" menu.Turambar1 06:25, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Split what into organized groups?Turambar1 19:44, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah we can start telling people to pick some groups to be in. I don't think our community is big enough yet for it to work well though. Also, we should make it clear that they can still edit any page on the wiki outside of their selected groups but have a responsibility to their groups which comes first.Turambar1 19:50, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'll start a forum topic, as it seems everyone is involved there. I'll also post a link to it on the home page.Turambar1 20:21, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hey how would you feel about me taking over EIC for Rei? It would even out the main characters between us and Takashi and Saeko are a lot of work on their own. I'm going to change it for now, but please change it back if you don't like the idea. I'm only trying to make things easier for everyone.Turambar1 20:55, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Okay I added a new wordmark(header image). I've been getting pretty good at using photoshop, so it really wasn't too difficult. Let me know whether or not you like it.Turambar1 05:55, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah the image has to fit 250x65. You can't really get a clear image that size unless you create it that size. At some point, I'll go back and redraw and make it smoother in photoshop, but I don't really have the time now.Turambar1 02:35, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oh I've been mostly using Monaco so I didn't even notice that. I'll see what I can do. I think I may have to just insert a color code into the template, but I'm not sure.

Okay it turns out I'll have to completely recode the infobox. It's going to take to long for me to do it tonight, but at least I'll only have to make one and copy it to all the others. I'm not sure if I can change the color of the text, so do you have any suggestions for a new color for the box?Turambar1 03:20, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

It turned out to be much easier than I thought. There's an infobox on the template page which acts as base for all infoboxes on the wiki, so I only had to edit that one. I made the background black and the title box a slightly darker shade of blue. With the border, I think the black is all right, but let me know what you think.Turambar1  20:45, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
