Well done with the website!
I just wanted to start with a mention on the quality of this Wiki creation. Color schemes, header title and pictures are all very exciting and inviting yet cool and easy on the eyes. Even if I had never heard of this game before, I know for sure had I happened upon this wiki accidentally I would have been interested and drawn right in.

I hope and presume I will have something useful for the community at some time or an another. °−°

Hey, Ciovala!

I agree wholeheartedly, very well done with the site.

I noticed that you personally have plans to work out the policy pages in due course, I was wondering whether a "definitions" or "terms and acronyms" page also might be useful. I figured some users would not necessarily know common gaming shorthand and all new players to Rift might need a hand with game-specific acronyms and terms. Thoughts? I would be happy to take that project on if you like it. --Malevola 18:50, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You mean something like Category:Game_Terms?-- Kethra  { talk }  21:36, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Kethra is correct that there is a Game Terms category, but it's entirely possible that it is missing quite a few useful terms. This is a wiki, so by all means, please be bold.  Quite a few of us are busy with real life and also do this, so the more people who help pick up any perceived slack the better.  Thank you so much for the kind words as well. :) -- Ciovala Talk 12:32, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I was actually thinking of something along the lines of a single page that included commonly used acronyms and terms that might require some clarification. A single page with a list of terms that would then link to terms pages, should they exist. But I guess it is just easy enough to create new pages in the Game Terms instead. For some simpler acronyms, it seems like a bit of a waste of effort. Over the long haul it will probably be a worthwhile endeavor. Thanks for the encouragement and I will see what I can do.--Malevola 17:33, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd say go ahead and do a single page if you like, that link to other pages for further exposition. BE BOLD!--  Kethra  { talk }  18:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Guild page displays line of code at bottom in news section
Wardjp 01:17, 8 November 2010 (UTC)Hey Ciovala, there seems to be a problem with our guild page on the forums here: http://telarapedia.com/wiki/Guild:EXotic_Occult

For some reason, in the News section I cannot get rid of the code listed below. I don't see anything in the edit sections that is wrong and it only seems to be with our page. All I can think of is it's something with the template and our page. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!


 * Thanks for letting me know. I can't take a look today but I'll add it to my TODO list!  -- Ciovala Talk 19:30, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I know how to fix it, but the Guild template is locked. But it's caused by people not choosing a faction, so that field is left blank, and there's no "if empty then do this so the page is pretty" part in the template. Alternatively, can include an Undecided faction choice in template and form to avoid this problem.  Similar to "Unknown Server"--  Kethra  { talk }  20:28, 8 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Fixed! :) We actually picked a faction just the other day and I forgot to go in and change that. Thanks for pointing that out Kethra:)!Wardjp 21:25, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yay Defiant! Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention, we fixed what was wrong in the template so other guilds won't experience it.  Oh and a big thanks to Ciovala for letting me trespass on her talk page. ^_^ --  Kethra  { talk }  23:24, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
