From A Wheel of Time Wiki

Though I have admired your work since I first found this site, it was only today that I learned your role in it. Please accept my heartfelt thanks and praise for your achievement. Fatidiot1234 04:31, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] CSS editing

So how could I go about editing the CSS sheet? Read here to see what I want to do: http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Wotwiki:Cascading_Style_Sheet --Optimous 18:53, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Not trying to take over

I just wanted to say that I am not trying to completly change this wiki just trying to improve some things. So I apologize if you feel like I'm making huge changes. But hopefully I'm doing more good than harm :)--Optimous 19:44, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, "taking over" is welcome. You've obviously got more time to devote than I do. And the main page is especially nice compared to the rambling stuff I had there earlier (which stayed largely unchanged since it was written in 2005). Did you copy the FA-by-date system from another wiki? : )

Anyhow, keep up the good work. If you do something someone doesn't like, they can just switch it back. If anything, I've been more concerned about offending/disillusioning you by undoing a change and explaining why I think the earlier version was better =P --Gherald 19:57, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Haha yeah I do have a little to much time on my hands :P. Yup I looked at the LOTR wiki and I wanted to do the feature thing and thought oh perfect idea. Next is the quote of the day I think. Yeah I just started changing that thing but then realized half way through "This doesn't look good...". No worries you have more experience than me so I am completly open to your thoughts and they make alot of sense :)--Optimous 20:08, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Aes Sedai

Sorry man never saw the reply to character template. Yeah i was putting them as rank but it seems most of them were on title so i thought some one must have changed them all. Ok i will go back through the ones that I did and set them right. I'm going back through the series and just tidying everything to book eleven. Also I gonna change first appeared for guys like Egwene, but not sure what to put it as. Is it eotw, earlier?? I have never actually seen that new chapter of From the Two Rivers, so maybe if someone who has could sort it out?? --GuanYu79 22:47, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] So I made new logos

So I made 2 different versions with better text and maybe a new nickname for thie wiki. Here they are: .

So what do you think?--Optimous 22:57, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, these look kind of nice. Curious why the swords are light blue? The font's a little hard to read, and I'm not sure about the name "wheelofpedia" : o --Gherald 21:15, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Haha yeah wheelofperdia kinda just pulled it out since wotpedia is taken. The swords are part of the logo from the new EOTW comics. You can look at it here: [1]. Yeah I need to do some more work on the text. I can't get something that is just write. I will update them later today with a few more versions of text.--Optimous 21:43, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Could you make the swords a darker blue or maybe the more usual gray, since we have such a bright white background? --Gherald 21:43, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Tell me what you think of the new one. It's the right one of the 2.--Optimous 04:30, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Nice, I like this text better. But my concern is still that the swords and (now the new, similar)text are too bleached for our white background (the EWOT comic as a pitch black background). I'd try filling the swords and text with blue or grey. --Gherald 07:39, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Alright there is the new guy(on the left) what do you think?--Optimous 23:53, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Well, that's probably too dark. I was hoping for a lighter blue or gray. Given the choice between these, I'd prefer the one on the right. Maybe it's good enough... --Gherald

No worries man there is no rush on the logo. I want it just right ;). I will change them up some more.--Optimous 06:48, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Ok updated with a light blue. They gray doesn't turn out well it is nearly impossible to read.--Optimous 01:25, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Hm. Looks oddly green. I'm still favoring your original white --Gherald 17:07, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

I know. I have no idea why its oddly green. I definitely used a blue color but it has an outlook of green. Let me try a few other colors and see what I can come up with.--Optimous 18:51, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Updated both one with gray(looks pretty bad) darkened the blue and black on the one on the right. Still messing with it.--Optimous 01:02, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Added a 3rd one.--Optimous 02:33, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Copied this discussion to wotwiki:logo along with the old stuff. -- nae'blis 00:53, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Adding a show hide feature

So I have figured out how to make a show/hide feature like what wikipedia uses. I will use the code from here:[2]. I just need to add one line in the MediaWiki:Common.js. So I was wondering if you could do it for me?--Optimous 03:07, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I am going to make a navagation front like the one on wookieepedia:[3]The "Click for article navigation" thing. I think its really helpful and cool :).--Optimous 21:52, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Update Search logo.png

So I want update this file: with this one which is the same but I remade it larger:

[edit] Countdown thing

So I was going to attempt to make a countdown counter to count down till the next book release. I was going to use the code from here: [4] it's at the bottom under JS countdown by Splarka. The outcome is on this page:[5]. What do you think?--Optimous 21:48, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User rights?

I think User:Optimous will make a good sysop for us here, but I was mistaken about having the rights to add new ones. Do you agree, and while you're at it are you able to make me a backup bureaucrat since you're not on much anymore? This is precipitated by his ideas for a new site style: File:Wotwikimockup.png -- nae'blis 18:51, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, and good to see you around, even a bit. :) -- nae'blis 19:15, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks alot guys :)--OPTI MOUS 19:17, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
