Admin
Hi. You're now an admin on this wiki. Let me know if you need any help. Angela talk 11:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'm sure I'll be asking plenty of questions sooner or later. Haha. Wolfdog 00:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Since I edited a bunch of pages on this Wiki I figured I would say hello.

Admin Question
On the WikiNarnia site, I noticed a new option at the top right where it says my username, "my talk", "my preferences", etc. At this location it says "try new skin". Does this only work for WikiNarnia? And is it only because I am an admin of WikiNarnia? It also seems to be a "wikia" thing in general. Let me know! Thanks! Wolfdog 23:49, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It will eventually work for all users on all Wikia sites, but it's being rolled out to the smaller ones first. Please see w:c:Inside:New skin for more information. Angela. 00:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, sup?
C Hey! It's nice 2 see our first admin on WikiNarnia! What's up? --The_Wolfe 22:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

ImagineWiki
Hello, Wolfdog. I am Mighty Erick, administrator of the Imagination and Fantasy wiki. It is a wiki where wikiusers can write about their own imagination: fantasy lands, fanciful animals, imaginary cars, hidden worlds and countries, etc. I am finding for fantasy creators and I thought LotR and Narnia wikis are perfect places to find imaginative people.

So it is an invitation, if you have some ideas about lands of fantasy on your mind, you have welcomed to write about them on that wiki.

Thanks.Mightyerick 14:14, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

your reponse on my talk page
Hey! (: Thanks for the welcome and all. This Wiki is so young!  It's cool to see how it's just getting going.  I was working with the Harry Potter Wiki a lot last week, but since I don't have any of my books here with me at school, I was having a lot of trouble, naturally.  However, I have my lovely little boxed set of Narnia books here, so I'll help in any way I can. (: Ashleyy { owl? } 23:42, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Deleting Articles
Hi Wolfdog - I've been doing what I can for the list on the home page, as well as just clicking 'random article'. Through this I realized that there is an article called Eustace Scrubb, as well as one called Eustace Clarence Scrubb. I'm not sure how to do it, but I'm sure that the later will need to be deleted. Queenlucythevaliant 21:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Do you just click the "move" tab at the top of the page? Queenlucythevaliant 02:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Rumblebuffin
The article on Rumblebuffin is listed as needing to be Narnianized, but I could find nothing wrong with it. I'm going to move it to "In Need of Expanision", but if I am wrong I apologize in advance; let me know and I will move it back. Queenlucythevaliant 18:43, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikia Spotlight
Hi there! My name's Scott. I'm a Wikia Helper working with a special focus on Entertainment wikis. I jst wanted to let you know that we'll be spotlighting this wiki for a couple of weeks as the new movie is released. Spotlights are the small graphics you see on the side of the page linking to other wikis on Wikia. Traditionally this brings a lot of extra traffic to the site, so I wanted to be sure you were prepared for the increase in contributors. Do you have a welcome template you use to say hi to new folks? I'm happy to help out in that department; please let me know if there's anything else I can do. Thanks! —Scott ( talk ) 17:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi -- I know you only come by occasionally so you may not have seen Scott's message yet. I'm Wendy and I work with him... anyhow, we copied over a basic welcome template and FAQ today, just so we'd have something to use.  The site is really seeing a lot of new traffic right now, and we want to welcome people and encourage them to stick around.   Please feel free to customize the welcomes to something Narnia appropriate if you'd like.


 * Also, I wondered if you had ever thought about customizing the menus? They are at MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar.  The defaults are ok, but can probably be improved upon.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 00:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi again. Since you hadn't answered, I went ahead and customized the sidebar menu.  Please feel free to edit it to better reflect the content of the wiki if you want!    I'd also like to change the default skin: perhaps to either Monaco-brick, or Monaco-beach, or even something more customized.  What do you think?  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi -- so I changed the skin default to Monaco-beach, which I hope you like. -- Wendy  (talk ) 16:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Book Pages
Is there a certain template for the way an article on books should be presented? If not I have an idea.

First there would be the chapters with a short summary of each and then a character list and some trivia on the book.

Please let me know on my talk page if this would work.EdmundtheJust 12:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Example...

The Wrong Door

Polly and Digory meet in London when he crawls over the wall seperating their yards. Because of the rain the two were forced indoors where they played in the Smugglers cave...


 * I agree, but instead of chapter summaries there should be a plotsummary.
 * The chapter summary idea involves too many spoilers. Will 16:21, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

BBC Film Version Articles
Why don't we have any articles on the BBC film versions of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and the Silver Chair? Doesn't someone besides me have the movies? Will 16:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Need help!!!!!
How do you put in Spoiler Warning signs? Will 05:58, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Articles with no info
We have a bunch of articles that have absolutely no info. Just reminding you. Will 16:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC) P.S. Are you the top guy on Narnia wiki?

Home page
Could I change the Main Page around so that the books and Catergories and stuff that guests would want to see are in front? Leave response in my Talk page, please. Will 00:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello!
Hi Wolfdog -- it's great to see you back again! There've been a lot of new contributors thanks to the movie, and I kept thinking you were missing all the fun :). I'm glad you are ok with what I did!

Your timing is perfect because I just got a question that I wasn't sure how to answer; User:EdmundtheJust asked if he could add "excerpts" to the book pages. Is that ok on this wiki? I know you try to keep the core stuff (as in, everything but the movies) in-universe, but I'm not sure how that works for the book pages. -- Wendy (talk ) 00:33, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Oops -- you took care of it. Thanks!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 00:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I made the User template over on central, and pretty much copied the format from someone else and then personalized it. The original template is here.  It's definitely useful :).


 * As for the sidebar, imagine that each line has link brackets around it. It's basically just a list of links, that the mediawiki software interprets to make the menus.  Like normal links you can use a | to change the text that appears....  It is very different from the older menus, but I've gotten used to it ... as long as I don't want anything fancy :).  -- Wendy  (talk ) 00:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

New Main page
Please tell me how the new Main Page looks. I think that guests will like it better. Leave response on my Talk page, please. Will 16:59, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Prince Rabadash or Rabadash
There are two articles for this character... Prince Rabadash and Rabadash How should these be named, under Rabadash or Prince Rabadash? EdmundtheJust

Deleting Pages
Hi, I'm very new here, but am not new to the concept of a wiki, What I need help on is deleting pages, over at wookieepedia we put a Delete template on the page, then an admin will do it, the page I have in mind is Cor, which I'd like to be deleted to make way for a move from Shasta, thanks for your time, — RC-1136

Main Page
Hi Wolfdog. You may have seen some of the new ads on the front pages of bigger wikis (eg. Muppets): there's a banner and a 300x250px box in the upper right hand corner. We need to make room for that extra box ad on the Narnia main page. I'm made a draft here which uses the two-column format. What do you think? -- Wendy (talk ) 17:50, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Narnia Wiki Format
I have changed the Narnia Wiki Format, by adding "section 8" about quotes. The whole wiki looks much better if you use this rather than different people doing different things. However, if you don't like this please delete my changes! Darth Newdar 07:31, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Templates
For almost all characters the infobox being used is Template:Characterbox, however on Shasta's and Ram's pages there is some other character box. I don't think this is as good, considering it has a "Coat of Arms" section which no Narnia character would have. So, if you post a comment on my talk page, I will fix it. I wasn't sure about deleting a template, or I would have done it myself. Thanks! Darth Newdar 15:45, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Marshwiggle/Marsh-wiggle
The current page about marshwiggles is entitled "Marshwiggle". I think the page should be changed to Marsh-wiggle because that is how it is written in The Silver Chair Thanks! Darth Newdar 05:49, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I tried moving it, but it did not work, coming up with the error message saying that I could not do that move becuase the page "Marsh-wiggle" already exists. I presume you could do it though, being an admin? Thanks! Darth Newdar 06:10, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

WCHZFcOggCQY
Somebody has created this page WCHZFcOggCQY - I have got no idea what it is, but it is certainly nothing to do with Narnia! I suggest it needs to be deleted. Bethel23 08:57, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Constructed Mythology
Hello, I am Mighty Erick. Do you remember me? Well, many months ago I asked you if wanted to join to a project for development of original fantasy worlds. You answered back, but, I changed my account and I never got that message, sorry. Well, yes, it is about fantasy worlds craeted by us fantasy fans. If you are still interested, the project was moved from imaginewiki, and now it has its own wiki: (Pegasus) Wiki. Thanks for your interest, sorry again, I never noticed you answered back! Mighty Erick

Vote-for-Deletion
I think the idea for deleting some articles is good but I have one suggestion. How about having a page just for stubs or articles that have little information about them in the Narnia world? I know that some of these may have information out of the Narnia world due to the fact it is used in other mythology. Is it allowed for that information to be brought in to further explain some character or creatures such as Father Time? EdmundtheJust 12:53, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay. I think for a start I shall develop a page with links to the original versions with a request for expanaion.EdmundtheJust 03:39, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Actor Pages
I have noticed that the pages for the actors have the Filmography in different versions. Is there a standard that should be followed or is it okay to create a standard? If the latter is appropriate, would it be okay if I developed an outline for actor pages? Example: Introduction, Biography, Filmography, ... EdmundtheJust 03:49, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Widgets
For the help needed widget, what does it mean by "Need Help: Please edit this page to show articles here."? EdmundtheJust 03:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Begining
When did this Wiki start? Kingpeterthemagnificent 19:21, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Info boxes
How do you create information boxes? To make the actor pages more presentable i want to make an actor box to put basic and quick information for the quick reader. is there a way to do this?EdmundtheJust 00:38, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Monthly Poll
Hi Wolfdog, what do you think of the idea of having a monthly poll on the main page? Figured we'd check with you before putting one up. Queenlucythevaliant 19:27, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

animal pages
User spenpiano is making articles of animals in Narnia and most of them are not narnianised. is it okay to redirect these articles to a page containing all the animals to make it more organised?EdmundtheJust 16:51, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
