Front Page Edits

At this point I think it makes more sense to allow your current contributors to develop a more solid design for the front page, as seen below. Once the page has a decent format covering many of the contributions it would be OK to lock it up again.

As it stands, someone not too familiar with Wikis would have a tough time finding some of the current pages. -phobia

Little mistake

Can't edit the frontpage, so I'll leave my comment here: in 'Cthulhu Card Games' Cthulhu is misspelled 'Cthuhlu'

Fixed! Thanks.

Organization

Clean up the front page list; use a table; check out: http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Main_Page as an example. --Squashua 17:24, 18 January 2006 (EST)

Changing the URL

I'd like to suggest changing the URL. Currently the URL is under a wiki subdirectory of Yog-Sothoth. I am under the impression that the laws have changed so that if you OWN a url, you own *.yoururl.com; meaning that this could be changed so that the primary website at www.yog-sothoth.com directs to the PHPNuke site, and that [b]wiki.yog-sothoth.com[/b] directs to the wiki. --Squashua 09:01, 19 January 2006 (EST)

Main Page Updates

The Main Page is now unprotected.

wiki.yog-sothoth.com leads to the wiki.

CATEGORIZE!

When producing links, if we go with the above system, we should categorize. This consists of making your links look like this: [[game:Call of Cthulhu|Call of Cthulhu]], [[fiction:Call of Cthulhu|Call of Cthulhu]], etc.. This produces the following, which are separate, categorized entries: Call of Cthulhu and Call of Cthulhu. --Squashua 13:46, 19 January 2006 (EST)

Basic Wiki Rules

Need to establish basic wiki rules of use/conduct. Make sure that people know how to use the wiki. I recomment signing any comment you make as follows: append "--~~~~"; this will produce a signature like the one that follows this paragraph. --Squashua 13:48, 19 January 2006 (EST)
