All your knowledge are belong to us! Please expand the article to retrieve the missing knowledge!

The Stub Template has now been added to VideoPedia, meaning you no longer have to look at Red Links saying Template:Stub. Care must be taken when adding these at the beginning of an article when not in source mode, as it tends to go inbetween the bolding tags in the first paragraph, making the title unbolded while the rest of the text in bold. This template also adds all articles with the template to http://videogame-database.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Stub automatically, and when the template is removed, it also automatically removes the category. In the works now is a Delete Template. Hopefully this makes life easier

There have been some updates on the Main Page and the CSS. Though visual detail is on the Blog Post on the main page, here is a list of exact changes: Admin Colouring Bug for Darrylb500 fixed, Main Page Contribution Help section updated to better fit wiki, Did you Know... section updated to remove Grammar Bug and more Entries. Some features that is being worked on, but hasnt been implemented is a Slide Show of articles (Attempted, but failed to display rest of main page. Bug may be attempted to fix later), a Featured Page System (Templates and Polls need working on) and a Stub Template (Need to acquire and edit template).

(Thankyou Phonetic Alphabet, by the way it is just Raster and Vector references..)

The Wiki is beginning to grow larger. More Blog Posts, more articles (Around 260 currently..?) and being one of the few game Wiki's to host information about the PICO-8 medium.

One of the things that isnt growing though, is the community. Yes, thats right. Its just me and Darry here. And occassionaly THV.

As part of Operation Romeo Victor, your task is to recruit members to the Wiki. (Darry, do you people on your forums like the sound of this?)

The benefits of a large community are:

• More progress

• = More Articles

• Possibly some mod powers given

• New people may  tag along

This is getting highlighted for everyone to see. Gracias.

Wonder who notices...

Noticing the lack of members (3 According to the Userlist, 4 counting real users I have encountered), I have decided to start this after something I came up in the previous Admin Thread.

So I hereby start, the VideoPedia Recruitment Scheme. Of course, this isnt going to be permanent. The plan is, to get more users and contributors into the Wiki.

What are the benefits of this?

• More Articles being created

• More Edits

• A Community (Sorry, but 1-3 People talking doesnt count)

We do have to, however realise that there are also negatives to this:

• Incorrect forms of advertising/spamming advertisements  can tarnish our reputation and potentially lead to warnings

• Possibility some vandals will come along (a̶n̶d̶ ̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶b̶a̶n̶h̶a̶m̶m̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶r̶u̶s̶t̶y̶)

Still, many members are better than 3/4. The reward...

'"'ḟґℯε ﹩ẘ℮℮тїεṧ ḯƒ ʊ ∂☺ ḯ⊥" - Nontexistant Person

The only reward is not having me as the only person to talk to (Ї aм иот a gёиєтїc clоиє оf šтalїи), Sorry for this ASCII stuff. Anyway, all you will get is a shout-out, and if you are not one already, a possible promotion to moderator providing you are trustworthy.

If you are already a mod, you could possibly become an admin.

.

I have thought purple would be good. When do you see this colour on Wiki's? Isnt it eyecatching. Doesnt it just irritate your eyes and give you a headache?

Oh, the wonderful feeling of a 7.2 magnitude in your head.

*sarcasm*

Anyway. Any feedback on the new theme?
