Welcome
Hi, welcome to the wiki! Thanks for

Here's a wiki tip for you -- you can sign your name on discussion pages by typing ~ which automatically adds your signature and the date.

Check out the FAQ for more tricks.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything!

If you'd like to add more information on the book pages, I think you should feel free to go ahead with whatever format you think works... The official style rules are here if that helps. -- Wendy (talk ) 01:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Book pages

 * Hi, I'm not sure exactly what your idea is, but I encourage you to go ahead and try it. I will comment if it is disgreeable with the Narnia Wiki Format or anything like that. Wolfdog 00:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Rabadash
Hi -- I went ahead and straightened out the Rabadash thing. As a general rule, when you see duplicate pages (in this case there were 3) you can turn the extras into redirects back to the original with #REDIRECT Rabadash or whatever. It appears that most characters have pages under their names without their title (eg. Caspian X), so in this case I kept Rabadash as the main page. -- Wendy (talk ) 18:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Rabadash
We try as hard as possible not to include formal titles as the name of the character for an article title, so just use "Rabadash." Wolfdog 23:26, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

The Silver Chair
Hi. To make something two-columns you have to set up a simple table. I've added one for this book so you can see how it's done. -- Wendy (talk ) 01:48, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Left Behind
I noticed you were a fan of Left Behind. Are you a fan of the Adult series or the Left behind for Kids Series? There is a Wiki for the Left Behind. Both

VFD

 * I like your idea and suggest you develop it. Just remember, however, that we can only talk about topics that have relevance to the Chronicles. If a topic is well-known or probably assumed by Lewis to be known by his readers, then it can be made into an article. But don't just make an article on Father Time, for example, saying that he is a fictional symbol based off of Chronos from Greek mythology, or anything like that.

Polls, Susan
Hi Ed, to create a poll the easiest thing to do is go to edit this page and copy the format below. Paste it back where you want it and you can change the specifics - the question, number of options and what they are.

What is your favorite color? Red Blue Green Yellow

There are no names on the user list with Susan or Queen Susan in them.

Hope this helps!Queenlucythevaliant 19:16, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Left Behind Wiki
When I saw you were a fan of the Left Behind, I got to wondering if there was a Wiki for that. I have made a wiki username and passcode for it, but I rarely have gone to these wikis.Kingpeterthemagnificent 14:58, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Actor pages

 * I think it would be more oganized to try to standardize template, etc. for actor pages. But different designs can be used. Wolfdog: Narnia Wiki administrator 21:07, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Poll
It's an idea...what sort of things do you think we'd put on it? Queenlucythevaliant 17:57, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Kingpeterthemagnificent 18:19, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Hey Ed - I'll go ahead and put up the poll, if someone has a problem we'll take it back down. Friends of Narnia, including Su, correct? Tell me what you think. Queenlucythevaliant 18:24, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I like the idea. Here are a few ideas, What is your favorite weapon or magical item?, human?,chronicle?, character?
 * Okay, we've got to keep in mind though that the field can't be too large as we must put in the options. For example, "human" has too many choices in my opinion, but Friend of Narnia would probably work. And I suppose if we do have something with many choices we could put the primary ones on and add an "other" choice. Queenlucythevaliant 16:39, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Alrighty, I would put Susan as an option, because she was a Friend, and perhaps would be again. And definitely not a weekly poll. Monthly is good. I'll post on Main Page discussion just to see others thoughts for a day or so before we put it up. Queenlucythevaliant 17:26, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I mentioned it on his talk page; I think once we hear from him we'll be good to go. Queenlucythevaliant 19:31, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh rats, it should be favourite, unfortunately if I change it now then the votes that have already been made will be erased. :( Next time we'll be sure to double check that again. Queenlucythevaliant 20:54, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll be thinking about it. Do you know how to maybe create a page similar to the one we have for Featured Article nominations that we could use to discuss ideas? If not, I'll get right on it as soon as I have a chance. Queenlucythevaliant 03:09, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Help Widget
The text meant that somebody needed to add categories or a list of articles needing help in order to make it work to the Mediawiki page it references. I added Category:Stubs for you guys. -- Wendy (talk ) 15:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Animals

 * I think it is fine to make a single unified animals page. Be aware that there is already an article called "Narnian species" and that you should probably just organise and expand this already-existing page. Wolfdog: Narnia Wiki administrator 20:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Monthly poll
Hey Ed, I made up that page and you can find it here: Poll of the Month. Spread the word! I'll put a note on the Main Page as well. Queenlucythevaliant 06:05, 30 January 2009 (UTC) thumb|300px|right|Into Narnia by tobyMac
 * Sounds good, I'll take care of that, could you please narrow down the battles? Either idea is fine with me, or we could do major conflicts from each of the books and add a few because several do not have major battles in them. Queenlucythevaliant 20:20, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Ed Pevensie
Hey, just thought I'd tell you that's a wonderful job you've done on the page. It looks great! Queenlucythevaliant 16:19, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Edmund Pevensie's personality
I can't speak for Wolfdog, but personally I would say to leave the facts and remove the opinions, but my background is wikis that strive for a neutral point of view. I also wouldn't necessarily put the opinions on a talk page, although if lots of people want to provide comments on characters perhaps a Edmund Pevensie/Fan Perceptions or whatever you want to call it, with a link off the main article, could be a neat way to accomplish it. If you think it's likely to extend beyond the one article it's probably something the wiki as a whole should decide how to handle; perhaps you could ask some of the other active users what they think, or open a talk page discussion on the matter. -- Wendy (talk ) 02:19, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Good catch. By the way, I don't think of myself as much of an authority figure, so my opinion is not necessarily the best. But yes, in accordance with how wikis are intended to be written, I would try to remove the opinionated inferences or interpretations. And as I'm sure you've already guessed, having an entire "personality section" is probably more than is necessary and almost a definite magnet for bias. Use your own judgment, though; try to highlight just the character's prominent features but not any one opinionated view of him. Also if there are actions Edmund does that justify certain inferences, it is better to leave the inferring to the reader and to just write about the concrete actions or events. Wolfdog: Narnia Wiki administrator 00:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Opinion
Hmm, I dunno. Wikis in my experience are mostly used for information only and not debate/thought such as a fan website or such would be. It seems to me that adding a page like that for every character would be a lot of work, and I'm not sure they would really be used by too many people. Certainly frequent users of the site might get into a discussion thing, I don't think the common visitor to the site is going to have that deep of an opinion. Maybe a better idea would be to add a Forum such as they have on Wookipedia (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page), and designate it for that purpose. It's a cool idea Ed, I'm just not sold on it's practicality. Queenlucythevaliant 17:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Ideas

 * I find many of your ideas logical and beneficial to improving Narnia Wiki. Go ahead and carry out those ideas; no need to ask me unless someone's specifically disputing or arguing with you. Wolfdog: Narnia Wiki administrator 01:39, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Save WikiNarnia
Greetings, Your Majesty. If you don't know about my mission to save and spruce up the Narnia Wiki, please visit here. --Arvan Swordwielder | Talk | Contributions 04:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey Ed
I don't think we should add a separate page, just because that's not what Wikis are typically used for. Maybe, if that enormous section can be narrowed down enough, putting the relevant info just under the introductory info at the top with no heading? We should make sure that it's sourced though. And as far as the Article of the Month thing, you'd have to ask Poggin. I think it should stay as long as the article is on the nomination page, but if he wants to remove it from there then defiantly. Queenlucythevaliant 03:07, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, I guess that would be good. Haha. Queenlucythevaliant 00:25, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Featured Article Nominations
Feel free to remove the template from the articles as necessary - just remember to take down their nominations from the Featured Article Nominations page. Thanks! Poggin 14:52, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
